No.14

CA: And since this relationship, it’s amazing— (Applause) And recently, you and Warren have been going around trying to persuade other billionaires and successful people to pledge to give, what, more than half of their assets for philanthropy. How is that going?

BG: Well, we’ve got about 120 people who have now taken this giving pledge. The thing that’s great is that we get together yearly and talk about, okay, do you hire staff, what do you give to them? We’re not trying to homogenize it. I mean, the beauty of philanthropy is this mind-blowing diversity. People give to some things. We look and go, “Wow.” But that’s great. That’s the role of philanthropy is to pick different approaches, including even in one space, like education. We need more experimentation. But it’s been wonderful, meeting those people, sharing their journey to philanthropy, how they involve their kids, where they’re doing it differently, and it’s been way more successful than we expected. Now it looks like it’ll just keep growing in size in the years ahead.

MG: And having people see that other people are making changes with philanthropy, I mean, these are people who have created their own businesses, put their own ingenuity behind incredible ideas. If they put their ideas and their brain behind philanthropy, they can change the world. And they start to see others doing it, and saying, “Wow, I want to do that with my own money.” To me, that’s the piece that’s incredible.

解説

ビル・ゲイツ氏とウォーレン・バフェット氏は，二人で食事をしているときに、他の億万長者たちにも、財産の多くを寄付してもらう計画を立てたそうです。
最初に、ゲイツ氏、妻のメリンダさん，バフェット氏で、フォーブス誌に掲載されている最も裕福な人々のリスト４００人に順番に電話を掛けました。
そして、これらのほとんど面識のない人立ちに、財産を寄付する誓約に参加するよう説得していきました。
この誓約は法的な契約書ではなく、自分のモラル的な決心を表明するもので、どこにどれくらい寄付するのかという内容も自分で決めます。

No.13

CA: I mean, you’ve easily got enough money despite your vast contributions to the foundation to make them all billionaires. Is that your plan for them?

BG: Nope. No. They won’t have anything like that. They need to have a sense that their own work is meaningful and important. We read an article long, actually, before we got married, where Warren Buffett talked about that, and we’re quite convinced that it wasn’t a favor either to society or to the kids.

CA: Well, speaking of Warren Buffett, something really amazing happened in 2006, when somehow your only real rival for richest person in America suddenly turned around and agreed to give 80 percent of his fortune to your foundation. How on Earth did that happen? I guess there’s a long version and a short version of that. We’ve got time for the short version.

BG: All right. Well, Warren was a close friend, and he was going to have his wife Suzie give it all away. Tragically, she passed away before he did, and he’s big on delegation, and — (Laughter) — he said —

CA: Tweet that.

BG: If he’s got somebody who is doing something well, and is willing to do it at no charge, maybe that’s okay. But we were stunned.
MG: Totally stunned.
BG: We had never expected it, and it has been unbelievable. It’s allowed us to increase our ambition in what the foundation can do quite dramatically. Half the resources we have come from Warren’s mind-blowing generosity.

CA: And I think you’ve pledged that by the time you’re done, more than, or 95 percent of your wealth, will be given to the foundation.

BG: Yes.

解説
ウォーレン・エドワード・バフェット
（Warren Edward Buffett, 1930年8月30日 – ）アメリカ合衆国の著名な投資家、経営者。世界最大の投資持株会社であるバークシャー・ハサウェイの筆頭株主で、同社の会長兼CEOを務める。

ウォーレン・バフェットによる寄附
2006年6月25日、世界一の投資家と呼ばれ、ゲイツに次いで世界第3位の富豪であったウォーレン・バフェットは、彼の持つ個人資産のうち85％を複数の慈善財団に寄附し、その85%中83%をB&MGFに充てると発表した。この寄附は現金ではなく彼自身が率いる米投資会社バークシャー・ハサウェイのB種株式およそ1000万株によって行われ、その額は307億ドル(同年6月23日時点での評価額)にのぼる。言うまでもなくこれは史上最大の寄附であり、B&MGFの規模は一挙に倍増した。
なお、この寄附は一度に行われるものではなく、株式の5%ずつが毎年支払われる。また、ゲイツ夫妻が生存しており、財団で活動していること、寄附された額と同額が毎年助成に使われることが条件となっている。[ウィキペディアより]

No.12

MG: And her dad had told me how afraid he was that unlike the son, who had passed his secondary exams, because of her chores, she’d not done so well and wasn’t in the government school yet. He said, “I don’t know how I’m going to pay for her education. I can’t pay for private school, and she may end up on this farm like my wife.” So they know the difference that an education can make in a huge, profound way.

CA: I mean, this is another pic of your other two kids, Rory and Phoebe, along with Paul Farmer. Bringing up three children when you’re the world’s richest family seems like a social experiment without much prior art. How have you managed it? What’s been your approach?

BG: Well, I’d say overall the kids get a great education, but you’ve got to make sure they have a sense of their own ability and what they’re going to go and do, and our philosophy has been to be very clear with them — most of the money’s going to the foundation — and help them find something they’re excited about. We want to strike a balance where they have the freedom to do anything but not a lot of money showered on them so they could go out and do nothing. And so far, they’re fairly diligent, excited to pick their own direction.

CA: You’ve obviously guarded their privacy carefully for obvious reasons. I’m curious why you’ve given me permission to show this picture now here at TED.

MG: Well, it’s interesting. As they get older, they so know that our family belief is about responsibility, that we are in an unbelievable situation just to live in the United States and have a great education, and we have a responsibility to give back to the world. And so as they get older and we are teaching them — they have been to so many countries around the world — they’re saying, we do want people to know that we believe in what you’re doing, Mom and Dad, and it is okay to show us more. So we have their permission to show this picture, and I think Paul Farmer is probably going to put it eventually in some of his work. But they really care deeply about the mission of the foundation, too.

No.13

So at the end of my first year at Harvard, a student who had not talked in class the entire semester, who I had said, “Look, you’ve gotta participate or else you’re going to fail,” came into my office. I really didn’t know her at all. And she said, she came in totally defeated, and she said, “I’m not supposed to be here.” And that was the moment for me. Because two things happened. One was that I realized, oh my gosh, I don’t feel like that anymore. You know. I don’t feel that anymore, but she does, and I get that feeling. And the second was, she is supposed to be here! Like, she can fake it, she can become it. So I was like, “Yes, you are! You are supposed to be here! And tomorrow you’re going to fake it, you’re going to make yourself powerful, and, you know, you’re gonna — ” (Applause) (Applause) “And you’re going to go into the classroom, and you are going to give the best comment ever. “You know? And she gave the best comment ever, and people turned around and they were like, oh my God, I didn’t even notice her sitting there, you know? (Laughter)

She comes back to me months later, and I realized that she had not just faked it till she made it, she had actually faked it till she became it. So she had changed. And so I want to say to you, don’t fake it till you make it. Fake it till you become it. You know? It’s not — Do it enough until you actually become it and internalize.

The last thing I’m going to leave you with is this. Tiny tweaks can lead to big changes. So this is two minutes. Two minutes, two minutes, two minutes. Before you go into the next stressful evaluative situation, for two minutes, try doing this, in the elevator, in a bathroom stall, at your desk behind closed doors. That’s what you want to do. Configure your brain to cope the best in that situation. Get your testosterone up. Get your cortisol down. Don’t leave that situation feeling like, oh, I didn’t show them who I am. Leave that situation feeling like, oh, I really feel like I got to say who I am and show who I am.

So I want to ask you first, you know, both to try power posing, and also I want to ask you to share the science, because this is simple. I don’t have ego involved in this. (Laughter) Give it away. Share it with people, because the people who can use it the most are the ones with no resources and no technology and no status and no power. Give it to them because they can do it in private. They need their bodies, privacy and two minutes, and it can significantly change the outcomes of their life.
Thank you. (Applause)

解説

パワー・ポーズのコツは、無意識にそれができるまで続けることです。自分の心に劣等感がある場合は、それを凌駕するくらいポーズを行うことです。
姿勢が心に作用し、心が習慣になり、習慣が自己意識となり自己評価となります。
人間の心も時代とともに進化してきて、全てが自分の心によって作り出されているということが分かってきました。
できるかできないか、ではなく、やるかやらないか，の問題だけなのです。

CA: So Melinda, this is you and your eldest daughter, Jenn. And just taken about three weeks ago, I think, three or four weeks ago. Where was this?

MG: So we went to Tanzania. Jenn’s been to Tanzania. All our kids have been to Africa quite a bit, actually. And we did something very different, which is, we decided to go spend two nights and three days with a family. Anna and Sanare are the parents. They invited us to come and stay in their boma. Actually, the goats had been there, I think, living in that particular little hut on their little compound before we got there. And we stayed with their family, and we really, really learned what life is like in rural Tanzania. And the difference between just going and visiting for half a day or three quarters of a day versus staying overnight was profound, and so let me just give you one explanation of that. They had six children, and as I talked to Anna in the kitchen, we cooked for about five hours in the cooking hut that day, and as I talked to her, she had absolutely planned and spaced with her husband the births of their children. It was a very loving relationship. This was a Masai warrior and his wife, but they had decided to get married, they clearly had respect and love in the relationship. Their children, their six children, the two in the middle were twins, 13, a boy, and a girl named Grace. And when we’d go out to chop wood and do all the things that Grace and her mother would do, Grace was not a child, she was an adolescent, but she wasn’t an adult. She was very, very shy. So she kept wanting to talk to me and Jenn. We kept trying to engage her, but she was shy. And at night, though, when all the lights went out in rural Tanzania, and there was no moon that night, the first night, and no stars, and Jenn came out of our hut with her REI little headlamp on, Grace went immediately, and got the translator, came straight up to my Jenn and said, “When you go home, can I have your headlamp so I can study at night?”

CA: Oh, wow.

Eventually I graduated from college. It took me four years longer than my peers, and I convinced someone, my angel advisor, Susan Fiske, to take me on, and so I ended up at Princeton, and I was like, I am not supposed to be here. I am an impostor. And the night before my first-year talk, and the first-year talk at Princeton is a 20-minute talk to 20 people. That’s it. I was so afraid of being found out the next day that I called her and said, “I’m quitting.” She was like, “You are not quitting, because I took a gamble on you, and you’re staying. You’re going to stay, and this is what you’re going to do. You are going to fake it. You’re going to do every talk that you ever get asked to do. You’re just going to do it and do it and do it, even if you’re terrified and just paralyzed and having an out-of-body experience, until you have this moment where you say, ‘Oh my gosh, I’m doing it. Like, I have become this. I am actually doing this.'” So that’s what I did. Five years in grad school, a few years, you know, I’m at Northwestern, I moved to Harvard, I’m at Harvard, I’m not really thinking about it anymore, but for a long time I had been thinking, “Not supposed to be here. Not supposed to be here.”

It took me four years longer than my peers, and I convinced someone, my angel advisor, Susan Fiske, to take me on, and so I ended up at Princeton, and I was like, I am not supposed to be here. I am an impostor. And the night before my first-year talk, and the first-year talk at Princeton is a 20-minute talk to 20 people. That’s it. I was so afraid of being found out the next day that I called her and said, “I’m quitting.” She was like, “You are not quitting, because I took a gamble on you, and you’re staying. You’re going to stay, and this is what you’re going to do. You are going to fake it. You’re going to do every talk that you ever get asked to do. You’re just going to do it and do it and do it, even if you’re terrified and just paralyzed and having an out-of-body experience, until you have this moment where you say, ‘Oh my gosh, I’m doing it. Like, I have become this. I am actually doing this.'” So that’s what I did. Five years in grad school, a few years, you know, I’m at Northwestern, I moved to Harvard, I’m at Harvard, I’m not really thinking about it anymore, but for a long time I had been thinking, “Not supposed to be here. Not supposed to be here.”

解説

Susan Fiske: スーザン・フィスクについてはこちら→http://psych.princeton.edu/~psych/psychology/research/fiske/index.php

私たちの社会は、価値を自分の外に探そうとする傾向があります。
自分の外に探すと、どうしても自分と他人の差に目が向きます。つまり、自分が持っていて他人が持っていないもの、自分が持っていなくて他人が持っているもの。
エイミー・カディさんのように、もともとは平均以上の人は自分が持っていて他人が持っていないものを見て優越感を持ちます。そして、事故後は自分がかつて持っていたものと、今持っていないものを比較して悲しみます。
ほとんどの人は自分の持っているものを見ずに、自分に足りないものばかりを見ています。人はこのような見方では決して幸せではありません。
自分に目を向け、持っているものを感謝できること、人が持っているものを褒められること、これが幸せな在り方ですね。
