Imagine being a kid playing baseball in a little league All-Star Game, and all the fans are cheering. But there's one fan in particular who you really want to make proud - your father. The game is on the line, and it's your turn to come up to bat. It's the stuff that dreams are made of.
想象一下小时候在小联盟全明星赛中打棒球，所有球迷都在欢呼。但是你特别想让一位粉丝感到骄傲 —— 你的父亲。游戏上线了，该轮到你上来击球了。这是做梦的东西。
And you strike out.
然后你就出局了。
But it wasn't simply that fact that you struck out; it was the way you struck out. You struck out watching.
但是你出局的不仅仅是这个事实；这是你出局的方式。你在看着时大吃一惊。
That's what happened to Aflac U.S. President Virgil Miller, and he's never forgotten the feeling he had or the lesson he learned when he joined his dad who was waiting inside the car for him after the game. "When I got in the car, you know what he said?" asked Virgil rhetorically in a recent interview. "He said, 'Son, don't ever take a called third strike. You can't hit the ball if you don't swing the bat. Swing the bat.' Oh, I've taken that lesson. You're not going see me sit on the sidelines. I'm not going to be on the bench. I'm going to swing the bat.'"
这就是发生在Aflac美国总统维吉尔·米勒身上的事情，他从未忘记自己的感受或在赛后加入车内等着他的父亲时吸取的教训。“当我上车时，你知道他说了什么吗？”维吉尔在最近的一次采访中反问道。“他说，'儿子，永远不要进行所谓的第三次打击。如果你不挥动球棒，你就无法击球。挥动球棒。”哦，我已经上过那堂课了。你不会看到我坐在场边。我不会坐在替补席上。我要挥舞球棒。'”
That mistake seared itself in his memory to the degree that Virgil has rarely missed an opportunity to swing the bat, not as a baseball player but as U.S. Marine and veteran of Operation Desert Storm and then leader at the insurance company Aflac, where Virgil was promoted no fewer than 30 times enroute to his current position as president of Aflac U.S.
这个错误在他的记忆中根深蒂固，以至于维吉尔很少错过挥杆的机会，他不是棒球运动员，而是作为美国海军陆战队员和 “沙漠风暴行动” 的资深人士，然后是保险公司Aflac的负责人，维吉尔在担任Aflac美国总裁的途中获得不少于30次晋升。
A multi-talented athlete who fenced in college, Virgil understands the importance of footwork in calculating risk in corporate America and erring on the side not of caution but of bold thrust and parry. In the podcast, he teaches difference between leading a team and transforming a team.
维吉尔是一位多才多艺的运动员，曾在大学里打过击剑，他了解步法在美国企业计算风险方面的重要性，错误的不是谨慎行事，而是大胆的推力和招架。在播客中，他讲解了领导团队和改造团队之间的区别。
