最想告诉年轻时的自己什么事?9位世界级企业家的诚实告白

即使是顶尖人士,回顾过往走过的片段,不免有“早知道当时…”的感慨。而这些名人领教的遗憾,都是还未找到职涯解答的你我,在人生旅途中珍贵的资产。

即使是走上事业高峰的成功人士,回顾职涯片段,也不免有些“早知道当时…”的遗憾。

尽管人生不像YouTube,按下一键就能重新开始,能恣意翻转历史的命运遥控器,也是电影里才会出现的虚构情节,但他们经由不够完美的过去,所淬炼出的人生体悟,对渴望奔往坦途的你我,都是值得珍藏的资产。

《Business Insider》整理9位硅谷名人,最想和青春期自己说的话:

1.微软创办人比尔.盖兹(Bill Gates):“聪明并不是单一面向的,它并没有当时我想的那么重要。”

    Smartness is not single dimensional and not quite as important as I thought it was back then.

2.脸书营运长雪柔.桑德柏格(Sheryl Sandberg):“找到你爱的工作,相信自己能成就任何事。人生中,没有无须曲折就能直抵终点的路。”

    Find work you love. Believe you can do anything. There is no straight path to where you are going.

3.Twitter 联合创始人杰克·多西(Jack Dorsey):“拥有健康的生活,会让我更有创意、思考得更周全。”

    A healthier lifestyle ultimately makes me more creative and allows me to think more cohesively.

4.脸书创办人兼执行长马克·祖克柏(Mark Zuckerberg):“每个人都会犯错。人们耗费大量时间,专注于如何预防错误、避免懊悔,但事实上,我们都不该努力地把所有事情做对。”

    You're going to make mistakes no matter what you do. People spend a lot of time focusing on not making mistakes or regretting them but you shouldn't strive to be right about everything.

5.苹果执行长提姆·库克(Tim Cook):“快乐永远都在路上。”

    The joy is in the journey.

6.Y Combinator执行长山姆.奥特曼(Sam Altman):“不论你的选择是什么,与他人建立联系,确保身边被聪明的人围绕。”

    No matter what you choose, build stuff and be around smart people.

7.Asana共同创办人贾斯汀‧ 罗森斯坦(Justin Rosenstein):“问题浮现、计画失败。当事情不如所愿时,也别感到灰心。”

    Problems happen. Plans fail. Don't be disheartened when things don't go as you'd hoped.

8.维珍集团理查德·布兰森(Richard Branson):“与众不同是你最大的资产,会帮助你走向成功。”

    Being different is your biggest asset and will help you succeed.

9.The Muse执行长兼共同创办人卡特琳·敏秀(Kathryn Minshew):“NO经常代表事情的起点。”

    'No' is often just the starting point.
