Hillary Yip:
Hi, I'm Hillary Yip, the founder and CEO of my own app, called Minor Mynas, And this is why you should listen to me.
叶礽僖：大家好，我是叶礽僖。我是应用程序Minor Mynas（小鹩哥）的创始人兼CEO。这就是你要听我在这儿说话的原因啦！
I'm Hillary Yip. I'm 13 years old. And I'm working on a startup called, Minor Mynas, which hopes to connect the world through kids.
我叫叶礽僖，现在13岁，我正在一家名叫Minor Mynas（小鹩哥）的创业公司工作。我们公司的宗旨是通过孩子联结世界。
Reporter:Tell us more about your company then, what is it called, and how many downloads, how many people follow it.
记者：跟我们聊聊你的公司吧，比如名字的来历、用户下载量和粉丝数。
Hillary Yip:So we're an online kids community, where we can have kids from all over the world on our platform to talk to each other, in different topics that interest them.
叶礽僖：我们是一个网上儿童社区，全球各地的孩子们能通过我们的平台进行交流，针对任何他们可能感兴趣的话题。
And if they want to learn a new language, they have access to native speakers worldwide. So they can chat in a fully immersive environment.
如果他们想要学习一门新的语言，他们就可以接触到世界各地的母语人士，体验完全拟真的语言环境。
So right now we've got more than 40000 downloads from more than 50 countries.
现在我们已经拥有来自50多个国家，超过4万的用户下载量。
Reporter:Wow, I mean you are an inspirational public speaker. You know, an extraordinary talented young woman, I just want to know, do you not ever get nervous on the stage when you have to present your pitches?
记者：喔，我觉得你是一个鼓舞人心的公众演说家，一个非凡的年轻女性。我很想知道，你难道在舞台上从来都不会紧张吗？比如说，当你要在推销会上介绍产品时？
Hillary Yip:Well, let's put it this way, if you get me debating or talking about Minor Mynas or presenting, you will never see a hint of any nerves. But if you get me to sing and I’ll have knock-knee and I'll probably puke as I go on.
叶礽僖：这么说吧，如果需要我公开论述Minor Mynas的相关产品，我一点都不会紧张 但是...如果是唱歌，我大概会紧张到站成内八字，可能还会想吐吧！
Reporter:I want to show you this clip, okay? This is from a few years ago.
记者：我们来看一下几年前，有关你的视频片段。
Hillary Yip:Parents, I know how you feel. You want your children to become global citizens and be able to speak different languages.
叶礽僖：在座各位父母们，我懂你们的感受，你们希望自己的孩子能够成为国际人才，精通各国语言。
You spend as small fortune on extra lessons. In return, our kids dread it. They moan and groan...and after a holiday...they forget all of it. Sound familiar? That's where my idea comes in.
你们花了不少钱给孩子补习外语，结果却是孩子们哭喊连天...而且假期过后，孩子们就把学到的东西都忘光啦！很熟悉的场景吧？这就是我创业灵感的来源啦。
Reporter:How do you feel now looking back at it?
记者：现在回看这一段视频，你有什么感受？
Hillary Yip:Well, very fond memories back then because I remember that the whole build-up period was extremely exciting. I was working with my mum at home.
叶礽僖：这是很美好的回忆。因为我还记得整个筹备阶段都是非常令人兴奋的。我和我妈咪一起在家工作。
And my teachers at school back then were very supportive. And it was just so exciting because it was my first time doing it properly.
当时学校的老师也无敌支持。总之就是超兴奋，因为这是我第一次开始真正着手去做这件事。
The idea that education is transformative and will change the world. I don't know if I've mentioned this but I'm very into politics.
教育的变革性能改变世界。我不知道自己以前有没有提到过，其实我对政治很感兴趣。
And I think that being a politician is not the best way to change the world. But doing education is.
但成为一名政客，并不一定是改变世界的最好方式，但从事教育行业就一定是。
Reporter:Tell me a moment where you knew exactly that this was exactly what you wanted to do.
记者：有没有过一个瞬间，让你非常确定，这就是你想要去完成的使命？
Hillary Yip:I think it was a couple days after my final pitch for that particular event when I was younger. I was going to a meeting with someone who said that, "you know what, this could work."
叶礽僖：应该是在度过项目最后关头的那几天吧！当时我还小，正在和一个人开会。他说“这件事可以成功。”
And during that meeting, he told me, the life cycle of a start-up. From seed round to IPO. Kind of, very far ahead.
在会议过程中，他谈到整个项目的启动过程，从种子筹备期到首次公开发行阶段，是非常具有前瞻性的谈话。
But he walked me through the entire process, and told me, that failure is almost inevitable. But it's something worth doing.
在探讨完整个项目建设过程后，他也强调了过程中的失败是不可避免的，但非常值得一试。
And that led me afterwards to think, is this something that I really want to do?
这就引发了我后来的思考，这是我真正想做的事吗？
And when I realized that, learning something new, connecting kids was something that can have a profound effect on society. I was just like, "let's do it."
而在我意识到，联结世界各地的孩子们一起学习新东西，对社会的影响是多么意义深远啊~那一刻我就确定要做这件事！
Reporter:Your business jargon is just something that sets you miles apart. Who are your role models?
记者：你熟练掌握许多行业术语，这一点也让你显得尤为与众不同。谁是你的榜样？
Hillary Yip:Michelle Obama.
叶礽僖：米歇尔·奥巴马
Reporter:Why Michelle Obama?
记者：为什么是她？
Hillary Yip:Because I think she's a very inspirational figure. I think that it's admirable that in the past when she was younger, that she left a high paying job to go and work for the community. And to make an impact in the place where she lives.
叶礽僖：我觉得她是个超正能量的人，她的所作所为很让人钦佩。年轻的她放弃高薪职业，而从事社会团体的工作，对她所生活的地方产生了很正面的积极影响。
Reporter:If Michelle Obama was watching this, you had a 15 second pitch, what would you say to her?
记者：如果米歇尔·奥巴马正在看这个视频，你有15秒的时间，你想对她说什么？
Hillary Yip:I would say to her, that today's an exciting time, where girls like myself and many others, are working to make the world a better place. And I would love to meet her if I could.
叶礽僖：我会说，我们正处于一个很令人振奋的时代。很多像我一样的女孩，都正在努力让这个世界变得更好。如果可以，我真的很想见到她本人诶~
Reporter:And ultimately that is something that she champions throughout the world. Okay. Last, but not least, top tips for young female tech entrepreneurs.
记者：所以其实，这也是她想要带给世界的正能量吧！最后，有什么建议可以给从事科技产业的年轻创业女性们的呢？
Hillary Yip:To any young female entrepreneurs, is that, you are your own person. There's no need to be swayed by extra influences, because there will always be people who belittle you, tell you that you can't.
叶礽僖：我想给年轻女性企业家的建议是，你拥有自己的独立人格，不要被外界的影响所动摇。因为总会有人小看你、否定你。
The most important thing is to move on from those criticisms, if they're of any use, take them into consideration. If not, just ignore it. And move on and do what you want to do most.
所以一定要从这些争议中走出来，取其精华，去其糟粕。然后去完成自己真正想做的事情。
Reporter:Hillary, I've learnt a lot from you, thank you so much for coming in today and I hope you had fun.
记者：叶礽僖，我从你身上学到了很多！谢谢你今天的来访，祝愿一切都好！
Hillary Yip:Thank you, it's been great.
