When it comes to our millennials, free, open or straightforward can certainly be used to describe them, especially their ambition and their determination to get to the top. 談到千禧世代，自由、開放、直率肯定能用來形容他們，尤其是他們爬到頂尖地位的抱負與決心。
Despite their tender age, we've already seen them in some very high places. 姑且不論他們稚嫩的年紀，我們已經看到他們位居某些高位。
Facebook's chief executive, Mark Zuckerberg, turned 28 on Monday. 臉書的執行長馬克．佐克柏週一滿二十八歲了。
Later this week, the company he founded -- true millennial -- will go public with a valuation likely to top $100 billion. 本週稍後晚他成立的公司——他果真是千禧世代——將公開上市，價值可能超過一千億美元。
Groupon founder and chief executive Andrew Mason is just 31 years old. 團購網站 Groupon 創辦人兼執行長安德魯．梅森才三十一歲。
Their shares are up 12 percent in New York after the company narrowed its losses. 在公司減少損失之後，他們的股價在紐約上漲了百分之十二。
And delivering a message heard loud and clear, Jon Favreau, Barack Obama's speechwriter -- I could weep at this bit -- is only 30 years old. 還有傳遞出響亮而明白的訊息讓世人聽見的強．法洛，歐巴馬的演說撰稿人——這真是讓我汗顏——年僅三十歲。
Now our millennial, Joe Braidwood, hasn't reached those dizzying heights yet, 現在來看看我們本集的千禧世代人物，喬依．布萊伍德，雖然還沒達到那令人頭暈目眩的高位，
but he's doing pretty well for somebody who is just 27. 但對於一個才二十七歲的人來說，他相當優秀了。
He's already the chief marketing officer at SwiftKey. 他已經當上 SwiftKey 滑動輸入軟體公司的行銷長。
As you're about to see and discover, putting drive and ambition from day one has put him where he is tonight in our Millennials. 正如各位接下來將看到和發現的，幹勁和野心從一開始就把他放在今晚我們《千禧世代》所揭示的位置。
From a young age, they've been told they're special. They can achieve whatever they set their mind to. 從幼年起，他們就被人說自己是特別的。他們可以達成心裡設定的任何目標。
Now they're taking over the workforce and are already gunning for that corner office. They are the millennials, and this is their earlier years. 現在他們正在接管勞動力，而且已經瞄準了角落辦公室。他們是千禧世代，而這是他們早年的成長背景。
Kingston-upon-Thames, a quiet, quaint suburban London town, perfect for growing talent. 泰晤士河上的金斯頓，一個平靜、雅緻的倫敦郊區小鎮，完全適合培養資賦。
It's here we find the childhood home of our millennial, Joe Braidwood. 我們在這裡找到我們的千禧世代人物喬依．布萊伍德童年時的家。
I was born in May 1985 in St. Thomas's Hospital in central London, which is just across from the Houses of Parliament on the River Thames, 我在一九八五年五月出生於倫敦市中心的聖湯馬士醫院，就在泰晤士河上的國會大廈對面，
and then lived in Clapham until I was about eight years old before moving to our family home in Kingston, which is where my parents still live. 後來住在克來芬，直到八歲搬到我們位於金斯頓的老家，我父母還住在那裡。
Joe, when he was a toddler, was very precocious. You know, he would talk to adults as easily as talking to other kids. 喬依還是個學步娃兒的時候就很早熟，他和大人講起話來就像和其他小孩講話一樣自在。
He didn't see any boundaries at all. So he was unusual, compared to, say, my generation. 他完全不覺得有隔閡。所以他很特殊，譬如說和我們這一代相比。
Looking at the home videos, Joe's entrepreneurial spirit is also visible from an early age. 看看家庭錄影帶，喬依的實業家精神也從小就展現無疑。
At seven years old, he put on his own magic shows, or as he called it, "Joker Joe's Magic." And he thrived on it, making money with each performance. 七歲時，他就舉辦了自己的魔術表演，他稱之為「小丑喬依魔術」，而且他做得很起勁，每場表演賺錢。
I think like all parents, we think Joe's special. But at the same time, I think he's very much a product of his time. 我想就像所有的父母一樣，我們覺得喬依很特別。但同時我也認為他道道地地是他這個時代的產物。
We brought our kids up very differently to the way we were brought up. 我們拉拔小孩長大的方式和我們自己被帶大的方式很不一樣。
We were brought up, you know, to know our place as children and not to want to do what adults do, 我們被教導要知道當個小孩的身份地位，不要想做大人做的事，
which was very different when we were bringing Joe up, that, you know, we encouraged him to go for things that he wanted. 這和我們教養喬依的時候大不相同，你知道，我們鼓勵他追求他想做的事。
This parental attitude gave Joe free rein to try new things, from tap dancing to building complex Meccano cars, to speaking his mind. 這種親職教養的態度給了喬依自由，去嘗試新事物，從踢躂舞到組裝複雜的麥肯諾模型車，以及表達自己的想法。
Throughout it all, his father has always been impressed by his son's dedication, ambition and his lack of inhibition. 從頭到尾，他的父親一直很讚賞自己兒子的投入、野心、沒有設限。
Joe did a very good essay and it got a very good grade from school, and I was pleased. 喬依寫過一篇很棒的論文，在學校拿到很好的成績，我很高興。
And I read his essay, and he had all these quotes from Noam Chomsky, 我讀了他的論文，他引述了那些諾姆．喬姆斯基的話，
who, you know, [to] people from my generation, was a kind of revolutionary figure from the hippie era. 你知道這個人對我這個世代而言可說是個嬉皮時代革命精神的代表人物。
And, you know, I said, "Where did you get all this... these quotes from?" -- you know, very relevant to his essay -- and Joe said, "Oh, I e-mailed him." 然後我說：「你從哪裡找來這些引述的話？」就和他的論文非常切合，然後喬依說：「喔，我寫了電子郵件給他。」
Today at the ripe age of 27, Joe is proud of his fearlessness. But he also knows his confidence could be misinterpreted. 如今年屆熟齡二十七，喬依以自己無所畏懼自豪。但他也知道自己的自信有時可能會被誤解。
I don't think I really understood very much about how people view the way that you behave when I was young. 我想我小時候並不是真的很清楚人們怎麼看待你的行為。
I was quite brattish, I think. But slowly but surely in my teens I figured that out. 我想我以前滿討人厭的。但在青少年階段我緩慢而肯定地搞清楚了。
Now, as a successful chief marketing officer, Joe is learning that he'll have plenty more to figure out. 現在，身為成功的行銷長，喬依明白他將有更多事物需要瞭解。
But like any proud father, this one believes he'll do just fine. 但就像任何驕傲的父親，這一位相信他沒問題的。
I think Joe will be successful in future, but that success might not be as linear as we think. 我想喬依將來會功成名就，但成功的過程可能不像我們想的是直線發展。
You know, he's changed direction a few times, and I think, you know, he will define success in his own terms. 他換過幾次方向，而我認為他會按照自己的想法定義所謂的成功。
I think I've always cared a great deal about the things I do and have tried to do as best as I can in everything. 我想我一直都非常在乎自己做的事，而且每件事都努力盡力做到最好。
Does that make me an overachiever? I guess it's for other people to say. 這讓我變成超高成就者嗎？我想這就由他人去說吧。
