Is largely composed of two parts: money and power In fact, success, money and power have practically become synonymous

大体上只由两部分组成：金钱和权力成功同金钱和权力几乎变成了同义词

But it's time for a third metric, beyond money and power -- one founded on well-being, wisdom

但现在是时候引入钱与权之外的第三种衡量方式了这种衡量方式建立在健康 智慧

以及我们好奇和回馈的能力之上金钱和权力本身就像一条两条腿的板凳

You can balance on them for a while, but eventually you're going to topple over And more and more people, very successful people are toppling over every day

Basically, success the way we've defined it is no longer sustainable It's not sustainable for human beings

究其原因 还是因为我们定义成功的方式不可持续这对于人类不可持续

It's not sustainable for the planet To live the lives we want, and not just the lives we settle for

对于地球同样不可持续想要过我们想要的生活 而不仅仅是勉强满足的生活

The lives according to society's definition of success we need to include the third metric

不仅仅是满足当今社会成功定义的生活我们需要引入第三种衡量方式
