今天是我第一次和雅虎的朋友们面对面交流。我希望把我成功的经验和大家分享，尽管我认为你们其中的绝大多数勤劳聪明的人都无法从中获益，但我坚信，一定有个别懒的去判断我讲的是否正确就效仿的人，可以获益匪浅。让我们开启今天的话题吧！世界上很多非常聪明并且受过高等教育的人，无法成功。就是因为他们从小就受到了错误的教育，他们养成了勤劳的恶习。很多人都记得爱迪生说的那句话吧：天才就是99％的汗水加上1％的灵感。并且被这句话误导了一生。勤勤恳恳的奋斗，最终却碌碌无为。其实爱迪生是因为懒的想他成功的真正原因，所以就编了这句话来误导我们。
很多人可能认为我是在胡说八道，好，让我用 100个例子来证实你们的错误吧！事实胜于雄辩。世界上最富有的人，比尔盖茨，他是个程序员，懒的读书，他就退学了。他又懒的记那些复杂的dos命令，于是，他就编了个图形的界面程序，叫什么来着？我忘了，懒的记这些东西。于是，全世界的电脑都长着相同的脸，而他也成了世界首富。
世界上最值钱的品牌，可口可乐。他的老板更懒，尽管中国的茶文化历史悠久，巴西的咖啡香味浓郁，但他实在太懒了。弄点糖精加上凉水，装瓶就卖。于是全世界有人的地方，大家都在喝那种像血一样的液体。
世界上最好的足球运动员，罗纳耳朵，他在场上连动都懒的动，就在对方的门前站着。等球砸到他的时候，踢一脚。这就是全世界身价最高的运动员了。有的人说，他带球的速度惊人，那是废话，别人一场跑90 分钟，他就跑15秒，当然要快些了。
世界上最厉害的餐饮企业，麦当劳。他的老板也是懒的出奇，懒的学习法国大餐的精美，懒的掌握中餐的复杂技巧。弄两片破面包夹块牛肉就卖，结果全世界都能看到那个M 的标志。必胜客的老板，懒的把馅饼的馅装进去，直接撒在发面饼上边就卖，结果大家管那叫PIZZA,比10张馅饼还贵。
还有更聪明的懒人：
懒的爬楼，于是他们发明了电梯；懒的走路，于是他们制造出汽车，火车和飞机；懒的一个一个的杀人，于是他们发明了原子弹；懒的每次去计算，于是他们发明了数学公式；懒的出去听音乐会，于是他们发明了唱片，磁带和 CD。
这样的例子太多了，我都懒的再说了。
还有那句废话也要提一下，生命在于运动，你见过哪个运动员长寿了？世界上最长寿的人还不是那些连肉都懒的吃的和尚？如果没有这些懒人，我们现在生活在什么样的环境里，我都懒的想！
人是这样，动物也如此。世界上最长寿的动物叫乌龟，他们一辈子几乎不怎么动，就趴在那里，结果能活一千年。他们懒的走，但和勤劳好动的兔子赛跑，谁赢了？牛最勤劳，结果人们给它吃草，却还要挤它的奶。熊猫傻了吧唧的，什么也不干，抱着根竹子能啃一天，人们亲昵的称它为 "国宝" 。
回到我们的工作中，看看你公司里每天最早来最晚走，一天像发条一样忙个不停的人，他是不是工资最低的？那个每天游手好闲，没事就发呆的家伙，是不是工资最高，据说还有不少公司的股票呢！
我以上所举的例子，只是想说明一个问题，这个世界实际上是靠懒人来支撑的。世界如此的精彩都是拜懒人所赐。现在你应该知道你不成功的主要原因了吧！
懒不是傻懒，如果你想少干，就要想出懒的方法。要懒出风格，懒出境界。像我从小就懒，连长肉都懒的长，这就是境界！

The First Class To Staff By Ma Yun After He Purchasing Yahoo
Today is my first time to talk with you friends in Yahoo face to face. I hope to share my successful experience with you. Although I think that most diligent and clever people of you could not benefit from it, I do believe, there must be one or two served well by the experience. These guys will follow what I’m saying without bothering to judge whether it is correct. Let’s open today’s conversation! Many people in the world who are very clever and highly educated can’t succeed. That’s because, from their childhood they have been wrongly educated, and have contracted the bad habit of being diligent. A lot of people may remember Edison’s saying, “Genius is one per cent inspiration and ninety-nine per cent perspiration.” They’re misled by this word all their lives. They strive industriously but only go through life as failures. The fact is that Edison didn’t feel like thinking about the real reason for his success, so he made up this word to mislead us.
Many people may think I am talking nonsense. Ok, let me take 100 examples to confirm your mistake! Facts speak louder than words. The world’s richest man, Bill Gates, was a programmer. He dropped out of the University because he was tired of reading. As he didn’t want to memorize the complicated orders of DOS, he compiled an interface procedure of graphs. What’s it called? I forgot. I never bother to remember such things. All the computers in this world get the same face accordingly, and he, becomes the wealthiest man on earth.
The world’s most valuable brand, Coca-cola, had a much lazier boss. Although China’s tea culture has a long history, and Brazil’s coffee smells sweet, he was just bone idle. He bottled the cold water mixed with saccharine and sold it. Then in the whole world where people exist, everyone is drinking that kind of liquid which looks like blood.
The world’s best football player, Ronaldo, never bothers to move in field. He just stands in front of the opponent’s goal. As the ball comes, he kicks. This is the most expensive athlete in the world. Someone says his dribbling speed is amazing. That’s rubbish. Other players run 90 minutes in one game while he only takes 15 seconds, surely he can run much faster.
The world’s strongest food enterprise McDonald’s owner was also unusually lazy. He was too lazy to study the delicacy of French meal and to grasp the elaborate skills of Chinese food. What he sold was just two slices of bread containing a piece of beef, while the sign of “M” finally spread all over the world. The boss of Pizza Hut, who couldn’t bother to fill up pies, scattered fillings on the leavened cake. It was called PIZZA, which is even more expensive than 10 pies.
Some other lazy men are more intelligent.
Tired of climbing the floor, they invented elevators; indisposed to go on foot, they made cars, trains and planes; bored of killing people one by one, they invented atomic bombs; unwilling to calculate every time, they invented mathematic formula; too lazy to go out for a concert, they invented discs, tapes and CDs.
Too many examples like these. I’m tired of explaining.
Besides, I'd like to mention this nonsense, “Life lies in movement.” Have you ever seen a long-live athlete? Don’t those monks live longest in the world, who even can’t be bothered to eat meat? Without these lazy men, what kind of conditions we would live in, I never bother to think!
Humans are such, so are animals. The most long-lived animal on earth is named tortoise. They rarely move in their lives, lying prone to the ground, and can live for 1,000 years. They are too lazy to walk, but who won the running race with the diligent and active hare? Cows are hard-working, yet people feed them with grass as well as taking their milk. Pandas are so silly that they do nothing but hold a piece of bamboo gnawing all the day, however, People endearingly call them “national treasure”.
Let's come back to our job. Look at the person in your company who comes earliest and goes latest every day. He’s always busy throughout the day like a spring. Doesn't he get the lowest salary? Another guy idles every day and often looks absent-minded when he’s free. Isn’t he paid most and is said to own the shares of many company!
All the examples I took above are simply to explain one question, that this world is actually supported by lazybones. They have favored the world with such splendid things. And now, you may find the main reason which caused you not to succeed!
To be lazy does not mean to become foolishly lazy. To work less, you have to find out the methods of laziness. You should form your lazy style, achieve the perfection of laziness. I have been a lazybones from my childhood, even tired of gaining flesh, and this is the perfect stage!
