The thought manifests as the word. The word manifests as the deed. The deed develops into habit. And the habit hardens into character. So watch the thought and its ways with care. And let it spring from love, born out of concern for all beings.

注意你的思想,它们会变为言语; 注意你的言语,它们会变为行动; 注意你的行动,它们会变为习惯; 注意你的习惯,它们会变为性格; 注意你的性格,它会变为你的命运。

撒切尔夫人

要时刻觉察自己的想法,让它从爱中产生。


本周听到的让我有启发的播客:

Founders 275 Paul Graham's Essays(Part I and Part II):主播David Senra总结了美国硅谷创业教父Paul Graham的文章,整理成这两期播客。总结的内容对创业者、技术工作者都很有用。一些对我来说有意义的点:

(1)人生目标

My father told me I could be whatever I wanted when I grew up, so long as I enjoyed it.

我父亲告诉我,我长大后可以成为我想成为的任何人,只要我喜欢。

从小拥有这种没有限制的思维模式是大部分创业者的特质,而限制性思维是让大部分人泯然众人的原因。

(2)热爱的事

Do what you love doesn't mean, do what you would like to do most this second.

做你喜欢的事并不意味着,做你这一秒钟最想做的事。

If something that seems like work to other people doesn't seem like work to you, that's something you're well suited for.

如果在其他人看来是工作的东西,在你看来却不像工作,那就是你很适合的事情。

Find work that feels like play. 找到感觉像游戏的工作。

真正热爱的事情总是和长期价值和每一天的努力过程相关。

(3)独立思考

The independent-minded are often unaware how different their ideas are from conventional ones, at least till they state them publicly.

思想独立的人往往不知道他们的想法与传统的想法有多大不同,至少在他们公开陈述之前是这样。

You should not worry about prestige. This is easy advice to give. It’s hard to follow.

你不应该担心声望的问题。这是很容易给出的建议。但要遵循却很难。

You have to make a conscious effort to keep your ideas about what you want from being contaminated by what seems possible.

你必须有意识地努力使想要达到的想法不被看似可能的东西所污染改变。

(4)创业

The cheaper your company is to operate, the harder it is to kill.

你的公司运营成本越低,就越难死掉。

If I were running a startup, this would be the phrase I'd tape to the mirror. "Make something people want" is the destination, but "Be relentlessly resourceful" is how you get there.

如果我在经营一家创业公司,这将是我要贴在镜子上的一句话。"做出人们想要的东西 "是目的地,而 "坚持不懈地足智多谋 "是你到达目的地的方式。

What makes companies fail most of the time is poor execution by the founders. A lot of times founders are worried about competition. YC has founded 1900+ companies. 1 was killed by competitors. You have the same protection against competitors that light aircraft have against crashing into other light aircraft. Do you know what the protection is? Space is large.

大多数时候,使公司失败的原因是创始人的执行力差。创始人常常担心竞争。YC已经创办了1900多家公司。只有一家被竞争对手杀死。你对竞争对手的保护就像轻型飞机对撞上其他轻型飞机的保护一样。 你知道这种保护是什么吗?空间足够大。


周末匆匆去了一趟杭州,住在湘湖边,空气是清甜的滋味。
