So Sam asked me to talk about why you should start a startup.
山姆邀請我過來給大家介紹為什么要創(chuàng)業(yè)
There's a bunch of reasons you might have.
確實，創(chuàng)業(yè)理由可能有很多
And there's a bunch of common reasons that people have that I hear all the time for,
不過在我聽過的眾多理由中
for why you might start a startup.
有一些比較常見
It's important to know, like, what reason is yours.
大家一定要思考清楚自己創(chuàng)業(yè)的理由
Because some of them only make sense in, in certain contexts.
因為有一些理由，只適用于特殊情況
Some of them will actually like lead you astray.
有一些理由，是很偏頗的
You may have been misled by the way that
好萊塢的作品，還有各種媒體
Hollywood or the press likes to romanticize entrepreneurship.
傾向于把創(chuàng)業(yè)精神傳奇化，這是會誤導人的
So I wanna try and like illuminate you know,
我要做的就是
some of those potential fallacies, so you guys can, can make the decision in a clear way.
指出一些潛在的誤區(qū)，這樣，便于大家判斷自己的情況
And then I'll talk about the, the reason I like best for actually starting a startup.
之后我再介紹我認為的創(chuàng)業(yè)的最佳理由
It's very related to a lot of what Sam just talked about
跟山姆剛才介紹過的內(nèi)容相通
but surprisingly I don't think it's the most common reason
不過我認為，這不是最常見的理由
usually people have one of these other reasons or they just wanna start up, you know,
一般來說，人們創(chuàng)業(yè)的理由有很多，或者說，單純就是想創(chuàng)業(yè)而已
start a company for the sake of starting a company.
為了開公司而開公司，就這么簡單
So the, the four common reasons just to numerate them are it's glamorous.
我列了四個最常見的理由。第一，創(chuàng)業(yè)本身就吸引人
You know, you'll be, you'll get to be the boss.
其次，創(chuàng)業(yè)者就是老板
You'll have flexibility, especially over your schedule.
還有，有很大的靈活性，尤其是個人的時間安排
And you'll have the change to have, you know, bigger impact.
最后，你做的決定影響是很大的
And make more money than you'd, than you might by joining a later stage company.
開公司成功而賺的錢也比在大公司上班要多
So, okay, so uh, you know, you, you guys are probably pretty familiar with this concept.
好，這點應該不用我多說了
When I wrote the Medium post,
一年前
which a lot of you guys read a year ago uh,
我寫了一篇帖子，
I felt like the story in the press was a, a little more unbalanced.
大家應該都讀過，我覺得媒體刊發(fā)的創(chuàng)業(yè)故事，寫的有點夸張了
You know, entrepreneurship just got romanticized quite a bit.
很多媒體都會把創(chuàng)業(yè)家精神傳奇化
You know, the movie, The Social Network,
不知道大家看過電影《社交網(wǎng)絡》沒有
came out, had a lot of sort of like bad aspects of, of, you know, what it's like to be an entrepreneur.
這部電影介紹了創(chuàng)業(yè)中不盡人意的方面，介紹了創(chuàng)業(yè)者的生活
But mainly pa, sort of painted this picture of like.
但最主要的是向大家展示了這樣的一幅創(chuàng)業(yè)場景
There's a lot of partying and you just
電影中展示了很多派對的場景
kinda move from like one brilliant insight to another brilliant insight um,
主人公的絕妙想法也是一個接著一個
and really made it, you know, seem like this, like really cool thing to do.
最后創(chuàng)業(yè)成功。電影展示了創(chuàng)業(yè)輝煌的一面
And I think the reality is just, you know, not quite so glamorous.
但實際上創(chuàng)業(yè)并不總是一帆風順的
There's sort of a, there's an ugly side to being an entrepreneur and also just more importantly what,
成為企業(yè)家也有不盡人意的地方
what you're actually spending your time on is, is just a lot of hard work.
你要花費大量時間，非常辛苦地工作
Sam mentioned this, but you're basically just sitting at your desk heads down,
山姆也提到了這一點，你要埋頭工作
focused answering customers, customer support, emails, doing sales, figuring out hard engineering problems.
回答客戶的問題，提供客戶支持，回復客戶郵件，跑銷售，解決各種棘手問題
So it's really important that you kind of like, go in with, with eyes wide open.
你在入行前就要清楚地意識到這些問題
And then also it's, it's really quite stressful.
這是非常累人的
This has been a popular topic in the press lately.
最近媒體也在討論這個問題
The Economist actually ran a story just last week called like entrepreneurs anonymous,
上周《經(jīng)濟學家》雜志剛發(fā)了一篇文章叫無名創(chuàng)業(yè)者
and shows like a founder kinda like hiding under his desk and talking about like founder depression.
講述一位創(chuàng)業(yè)者躲在桌下倍感抑郁
This is like a very real thing, like, you know, let's be real.
這種問題是很常見的，真的是這樣
