Hasan Minhaj: 我高中时口才很好，但注意力不集中，学习成绩一般。我的电脑老师Miss Takeuchi 发现我的口才天赋，鼓励我参加演讲和辩论比赛。大学期间，我偶然接触到Chris Rock的脱口秀，这让我意识到我的口才可以用于喜剧表演，从而开启了我的喜剧之路。我曾经学习法律，但中途辍学，转而从事广告行业，因为我认为法律和广告都需要说服他人，这与我的天赋相符。我经历过多次工作上的失败，但这些经历让我更加了解自己，也让我更加坚定地追求自己的梦想。我的喜剧风格随着年龄和阅历的增长而变化，从最初的低俗笑话到如今更成熟的社会评论。 我的父母虽然不完全理解我的职业，但依然支持我。我始终相信，只要努力，并根据实际情况不断调整方向，就能取得成功。 Simon Sinek: 每个人都曾受到过某个人的赏识和提携，这在很大程度上塑造了我们。Hasan Minhaj 的职业生涯是其高中老师发现并培养其才能的成功案例。孩子们比成年人更聪明、更勇敢，更能展现领导力。我们应该学习孩子们的纯真和勇气，抛开成年人的顾虑和算计。解决问题的能力和判断力是重要的才能，不应该被忽视。我们应该重视那些在困境中培养出的能力，它们往往成为我们成年后的优势。我们应该发现并培养孩子们的独特才能，而不是只关注标准化的评估指标。在成长过程中，我们从不墨守成规到墨守成规，这种转变需要平衡。坚持梦想固然重要，但也要根据实际情况做出调整。外界的客观评价和认可能增强自信，帮助我们坚持梦想。我始终相信，只要努力，并根据实际情况不断调整方向，就能取得成功。

Shownotes Transcript

To recognize your own talent takes time and self-awareness. But to find the courage to pursue it? That often requires a spark of inspiration from someone else.

For Hasan Minhaj, that spark came from an unexpected trio—a teacher, a roommate, and Napster. A former correspondent on The Daily Show, Hasan’s natural gift of gab allowed him to build a wide-ranging career which spans standup, acting, Netflix shows, and, most recently, his podcast, Hasan Minhaj Doesn’t Know.

I had the pleasure of sitting down with Hasan to discuss his journey—why gifted people crave external validation, why kids are braver than adults, and where comedians truly rank in the artistic hierarchy.

This… is A Bit of Optimism.
