马斯克给年轻人的建议
如果特斯拉去年售出的80万辆车是内燃机汽车,那么这些车辆在其整个生命周期中将总共排放4000多万吨的二氧化碳,这相当于芬兰一年的排放量。由此看来,马斯克可以说是应对气候变化的最大私人贡献者。马斯克表示:“如果有人生产的汽车比我们好,他们的销量也比我们多,我认为这完全没问题。”我们和特斯拉愿景一直是为汽车行业树立榜样,并希望他们也生产电动汽车,这样我们就可以加速向可持续发展技术的转型。”
2014年在美国南加州大学毕业演讲中,马斯克给了同学们四点建议:
第一点:对于要创业的年轻人非常重要,你需要非常努力地去工作。努力工作意味着什么?别人工作50个小时,但是你工作100个小时,你会比别人多干掉两倍的工作。
第二点:企业的成功大部分情况下都是一群优秀的人汇聚到一起做成了一个伟大的产品。不论这群人多么有才,他们必须同心协力专注在一个正确的产品方向上,才能造就巨大的成功。如果你想建立一个公司,你要不断地思考,你们作出的这些努力是否使得你们的产品或者服务变得更好。如果没有, 就不要再做这些事情了。
第三点:不要单一地跟着所谓的大趋势走。从物理学第一原理的角度来讲,并不是通过类比去论证,而是通过所有你认为最本质的元素去推论。这样一来你可以分辨出哪些是你应该做的,哪些只是你跟随别人的脚步在做的。如果你想尝试新的事物,这是最好的办法。就象物理学家研究量子力学那样去思考问题,这是一个很强大的方法。
第四点:趁着年轻,现在就去冒险吧!在拥有太多义务之前,我非常鼓励你们去冒险。
马斯克的建议
Alright, thank you.
So, I’ve got about apparently I’ve got about five to six minutes to say the most useful things I can think of.
I’m gonna do my best.
It was suggested that I distill things down to 3 items. I think I’ll go with four.
And I’ll try, I think, I think these are pretty important ones.
Some of it may kinda sound like, well you’ve heard them before.
But, you know, worth reemphasizing.
I think the first is, you need to work, if you, depending on how well you want to do,
particularly if you want to start a company, you need to work super hard.
So what is super hard mean?
Well, when my brother and I were starting our first company, instead of getting an apartment,
we just rented a small office and we slept on the couch and we showered in the YMCA.
We’re so hard up that we had just one computer.
So the website was up during the day, and I was coding at night.
7 days a week, all the time.
And I, sort of briefly had a girlfriend in that period and in order to be with me,
she had to sleep in the office.
So, work hard, like, every waking hour.
That’s the thing I would say, particularly if you’re starting a company.
And I mean, if you do the simple math, you say like somebody else is working 50 hours a week and
you’re working 100, you’ll get twice as done, as much done, in the course of the year as the other company.
The other thing I’d say is that if you’re creating a company, or if you’re joining a company,
the most important thing is to attract great people.
So either be with, join a group that’s amazing, that you really respect.
Or, if you’re building a company, you’ve got to gather great people.
I mean, all a company is is a group of people that have gathered together to create a product or service.
So depending upon how talented and hard working that group is,
and to the degree in which they are focused cohesively in a good direction,
that will determine the success of the company.
So, do everything you can to gather great people, if you’re creating a company.
Then, I’d say focus on signal over noise.
A lot of companies get confused.
They spend a lot of money on things that don’t actually make the product better.
So, for example, at Tesla, we’ve never spent any money on advertising.
We’ve put all the money into R and D and manufacturing and design to try and make the car as good as possible.
And, I think that’s the way to go. For any given company, keep thinking about,
“Are, these efforts that people are expending, are they resulting in a better product or service?"
And if they’re not, stop those efforts.
And then the final thing is, is to sort of, don’t just follow the trend.
So, you may have heard me say that it’s good to thinking terms of the physics approach, the first principles.
With is, rather than reasoning by analogy,
you boil things down to the most fundamental truths you can imagine, and then you reason up from there.
And this is a good way to figure out if something really makes sense, or is it just what everybody 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 thing.
And that framework was developed by physicists to figure out counter intuitive things, like quantum mechanics.
It’s really a powerful, powerful method.
And anyways, so that’s, and then the final thing I would encourage you to do is now is the time to take risks.
You don’t have kids, you’re obligations, well! Some of you… Hahaha, you probably don’t have kids.
But as you get older, your obligations start to increase.
So, and, once you have a family, you start taking risks not just for yourself, but for your family as well.
It gets harder to do things that might not work out. So now is the time to do that.
Before you have those obligations. So I would encourage you to take risks now, and to do something bold.
You won’t regret it. Thank you....
...I don’t know if it was helpful. Great.
