I've got about apparently 5 or 6 minutes to say the most useful things I can think. I'm going to do my best. And II it was suggested that I just still thinks down to 3 items. I think I'll go with four. and I'll try it. And I think these are pretty important ones. So I’m going to make it sound like, well, you've heard it before, but it’s worth reemphasizing. I think the first is you need to work, if you, depending on how well you want to do a particularly if you're starting a company, you need to work super hard. 我大約用5到6分鐘的時間來講述我能想到的最有用的東西,我會盡我所能。有人建議我將內容提煉為三點。我想我會講四點。我認為這些都非常重要的。也許妳們會覺得有些妳們以前聽過,但是,我認為值得再次強調壹下。首先,妳需要超級努力地工作,取決於妳想怎麽做,特別是對於創立公司的人,妳需要工作得超級努力。
So what does super hard mean? Well, when my brother and I were starting up our first company, in instead of getting an apartment, we just rented a small office and we slept on the couch. and we showed the YMCA. And we're so hard up. We had just one computer. So the website was up during the day. and I was coding at night, 7days a week, all the time. and I briefly had a girlfriend at that period. And in order to be with me, she had to sleep in the office. 那麽"超級努力“是什麽意思呢?我弟弟和我壹起開創第壹家公司的時候,我們租不起公寓,只租了壹間小辦公室,我們睡在沙發上。我們在基督教青年會洗澡。我們很拮據,只買得起壹臺電腦。網站在白天運行,而我在晚上寫代碼,壹周7天沒有間歇。這期間我短暫交過壹個女朋友。為了和我在壹起,她不得不也睡在辦公室裏。
So I work hard like at every waking hour, that's the thing I would say particularly if you're starting a company, and I mean, if you do simple math, say like, if somebody else is working 50 hours, and you're working a hundred, you'll get twice as much done in the course of years as a company. 所以我努力工作,醒著的時間都用於工作,我想說的事情是,如果妳正在創辦壹家公司,這就是我的建議,妳可以簡單算算,如果別人工作50個小時,而妳工作100個小時,那麽妳公司在壹年之內的成就肯定會比別人公司強壹倍。
The other thing I’ll say is that if you're creating company or if you're joining company, the most important thing is to attract great people. So either join a group that's amazing that you really respect, or If you’re building a company, you've got to gather people. I mean, all the company is a group of people that are gathered together to create a product or service. And so depending upon how talent and hard-working that group is and the degree to which they are focused cohesively in a good direction that will determine the success of the company. 我要說的另外壹點是,如果妳要創建壹家公司,或是加入壹家公司,最重要的壹點是吸引吸很棒的人。加入團體的話,妳要加入讓妳尊敬的美妙團隊。創建公司公司的話,妳要聚集壹群很棒的人。我的意思是,所有的公司就是壹群人聚集在壹起創造出產品或服務。這群人本領越大,工作越努力,凝聚力越強目標越明確,公司越有可能成功。
So do everything you can to gather great people. If you're creating a company, then to focus on signal over noise. A lot of companies get confused that they spend money on things that don't actually make the product better. 如果妳要創立公司,妳需要盡壹切可能網羅最優秀的人。下面壹點是撇除噪音,專註於信號。很多公司感到困惑的是,他們把錢花不到能改進產品的地方。
So for example at Tesla, we've never spent any money on advertising. we put all of the money into R&D and manufacturing and design to try to make the car as good as possible. And I think that's the way to go. For any given company, just keep thinking about are these efforts that people are spending? Are they resulting in a better product or service? If they're not stop those efforts? 比如說特斯拉,我們從來沒有在廣告上花過錢。我們把所有的錢都投入到研發、制造和設計中,努力讓 汽車 變得更好。我認為公司就應該這樣。對於任何公司,在任何時候都需要不斷思考,人們花這麽多精力做的事,是否能夠讓產品或服務變得更好?如果不能,就停止這些嘗試?
And then the final thing is don't just follow the trends. you may have heard me say it’s good to think in terms of the physics approach from first principles, which is rather than reasoning by analogy, you boil things down to the most fundamental truths you can imagine, and you reason up from there.最後我要講的是,不要跟隨潮流。妳可能聽我說過,這裏可以類比從基本原理出發的物理方法,也就是說,不要人雲亦雲。妳應當將事物歸結為最根本的事實上,然後從根本上進行推理。
And this is a good way to figure out if something really makes sense, or it's just whatever somebody else is doing. it's hard to think that way. you can't think that way about everything It takes a lot of effort. but if you're trying to do something new, it's the best way to think. And that framework was developed by physicists to figure out counterintuitive things, like quantum mechanics. 這是壹種很好的方法,某個想法是否真的行得通。而不是別人說行,那就可行。這確實很難,妳不能對每件事都這麽想,這需要付出很多精力。不過在創新的時候,這無疑是最好的思考方式,物理學界也正是通過這種框架,推導出各種不可思議的理論,例如量子力學。
So it's really a powerful method. and so that's, and then I think that the final thing I will encourage you to do is: Now is the time to take risk. You don't have kids, your obligations or something. Probably not, of course,. but as you get older, your obligations increase. and once you have a family, you start taking risk, not just for yourself, but for your family as well. It gets much harder to do things that might not work out. So now it’s the time to do that before you have those obligations. So I want to encourage you to take risks and to do something bold. You won't regret it. Thank you.這無疑是壹個強有力的方法。我想,我還有壹點建議要送給妳們,趁著年輕,勇於冒險。妳沒有小孩,妳們的責任,或其他事情,但是隨著年齡的增長,妳的責任也會增長。壹旦妳有了家庭,妳再去冒險,承擔風險的就不是妳壹個人,而是妳全家。要去冒險,做壹些可能不會成功的事情難度可能會更大。在沒有這些責任之前,做這樣冒險的事負擔會比較少。所以我鼓勵大家勇於去冒險,膽子大壹些,妳不會後悔的。
Thank you! 謝謝!
