- Once upon a time, at the age of 24, I was a student at St. John's Medical College in Bangalore.
- 很久以前，当我还是24岁之时，我尚是一名位于班加罗尔的圣约翰医学院的学生。
- I was a guest student during one month of a public health course. And that changed my mindset forever.
- 当时，我是一名为期一个月的公共卫生课程的旁听生。我的思维模式从那时起开始改变。
- The course was good, but it was not the course content in itself that changed the mindset.
- 这是一门好课程，但改变我思维模式的不是这门课程本身。
- It was the brutal realization, the first morning, that the Indian students were better than me.
- 而是因在第一天早晨，我发现印度学生的表现居然比我还要优秀，这个残酷的现实。
- You see, I was a study nerd. I loved statistics from a young age. And I studied very much in Sweden.
- 如你所见，我是一个书呆子。当我年轻时，我对数据有狂热的喜好。而且我在瑞典学习时很用功。
- I used to be in the upper quarter of all courses I attended. But in St. John's, I was in the lower quarter.
- 我曾在所有课程中都名列前茅。但在圣约翰时，我却名落孙山了。
- And the fact was that Indian students studied harder than we did in Sweden.
- 我不得不承认，印度学生比瑞典学生要刻苦努力多了。
- They read the textbook twice, or three times or four times. In Sweden we read it once and then we went partying.
- 他们会三番四次地阅读他们的课本。而在瑞典，读完一次后，我们就去夜夜笙歌了。
- And that, to me, that personal experience was the first time in my life that the mindset I grew up with was changed.
- 这对于我的意义是在于，我生而知之的思维方式第一次被改变了。
- And I realized that perhaps the Western world will not continue to dominate the world forever.
- 我意识到西方世界或许不再是霸权国家了。
- And I think many of you have the same sort of personal experience.
- 我想你们都大概有这种体验。
- It's that realization of someone you meet that really made you change your ideas about the world. It's not the statistics, although I tried to make it funny.
- 那种遇到某个人使你的世界观发生天翻地覆地改变的经历。这些都不是数据，虽然我试着让它听起来有趣。
