   So, when I came back to make my next movie, which was "Avatar", I tried to apply that same principle of leadership which is that you respect your team, and you earn their respect in return. And it really changed the dynamic. So, here I was again with a small team, and you know, in Uncharted territory doing "Avatar", coming up with new technology that didn't exist before. Tremendously exciting. Tremendously challenging. And we became a family, over a four and half year period. And it completely changed how I do movies. So, people have commented on how, well, you know, you brought back the ocean organisms and put them on the planet of Pandora. To me it was more of a fundamental way of doing business, the process itself, that changed as a reslt of that.

  所以,当我开始拍摄我的下一部电影《阿凡达》时,我试着将这种互相尊重的领导力原则应用在电影拍摄中。很快情况就改变了。在《阿凡达》拍摄过程中,我的团队也很小,你知道,也在未知领地拍摄《阿凡达》,创造新的科技。这非常有意思,非常有挑战性。四年半的时间里,我们成为了一个家庭。这完全改变了我拍电影的方式。有评论文章说,卡梅隆把海底的一些生物放到了潘多拉星球上。对于我来说,这只是做事情的基本方式,这个过程本身改变了事情的结果。
  So, what can we synthesize out of all this? You know, what are the lessons learned? Well, I think number one is curiosity. It's the most powerful thing you own. Imagination is a force that can actually manifest a reality. And the respect of your team is more important than all the laurels1 in the world. I have young film makers2 come up to me and say, you know, "Give some advice for doing this." And I say, "Do't put limitations on yourself. Other people will do that for you, don't do it to yourself, don't bet against yourself and take risks."
  最后,总结一下,我学到了什么?我觉得第一:好奇心,这是你拥有的最有力量的东西;第二:想象力,这是你创造现实的力量;第三:对团队的尊重,这是比世界上其他所有荣誉都更重要的东西。你知道,有年轻的电影制作人过来跟我说:“给我一些拍电影的建议吧”。我回答说:“不要给自己加上限制。其他人会替你这么做,不用自己这么做,不要拿自己下赌注。不要冒险。”
  NASA has this phrase that they like: "Failure is not an option." But failure has to be an option in art and in exploration, because it's a leap of faith. And no important endeavor that required innovation was done without risk. You have to be willing to take those risks. So, that's the thought I would leave you with, is that in whatever you're doing, failure is an option, but fear is not.
  美国国家航空航天局有这样的警句:“失败并不是一种选择”。但是失败,在艺术上、在探险上肯定是一种选择,因为这是信仰的飞跃。任何需要革新的重要努力都需要冒险。你必须愿意承担这些冒险。所以,这是我想给你的想法,不管你做什么,失败是一个选项,但畏惧不是。
  Thank you.
