This idea of 'What do you want to be when you grow up?'
“你长大后想做什么?”这个问题
I've heard people ask my five-year-old. That question made sense when I was a kid.
我听到有人问我五岁的孩子这个问题。在我小时候，这个问题还能说得通。
It doesn't make sense; jobs are shifting and changing.
但现在说不同了；工作在不断变化。
Look what's happening with jobs today.
看看今天的工作都发生了什么改变。
This whole push on automation, robotics and artificial intelligence is going to re-create or redo jobs completely.

We see that coming, so the question that I ask students and again, every time I talk to students, I ask them 'What problem do you want to solve.

What's the problem that spins in your head?'

And it doesn't have to be a social problem, like social entrepreneurship as you mentioned.
不一定非得是个社会问题，比如你提到的社会企业家精神。
It could be how to make cars go faster.

有时他们解决的是你不知道自己存在的问题。
So they're problem solving. What is the problem that you want to solve? So that's part one.
所以他们在解决问题。你想解决什么问题?这是第一部分。
If you don't know, what a great time to dive deep into that problem that you're interested and passionate about.
如果你不知道，那就是深入研究你感兴趣和有热情的问题的好时机。

so if you as a student say 'I want to solve climate change',
如果你还是学生，你说‘我想解决气候变化问题’，
an adult, an administrator or a teacher or parent might say 'Oh, climate change. Wait.
那么成年人、管理者，或者是老师或家长可能会说‘哦，气候变化。等等。

The way you can solve climate change is by going out and documenting climate change and photographing it or creating educational programs around climate change.

And if you don't know there's some more time you can spend doing that.
如果你不知道，那你可以花点时间去搞清楚。
And then the third part of that—and this is where all of this comes in, so it's a great kind of question to put all this together—
然后是第三部分——也就是所有问题的来源，把一切都综合起来是个很好的问题——

That would get us there because the question I get all the time is: What does the future classroom look like?
这将使我们达到目标，因为我一直有一个问题:未来的教室是什么样子的?

答案是：未来的教育从周一开始，然后是周二、周三，它持续一致、始终如一，
and it's always growing, always improving, and if we create that culture I think that would bring us a long way.
它一直在成长、在进步，如果我们能创造出这种文化，它会带我们走的越来越远。
