So what's the best reason?
而最好的創業理由是什么呢？
So, Sam already talked about this a little bit but basically, you can't not do it.
山姆已經介紹了一些，最基本的一點就是，當你只能創業的時候
You're super passionate about this idea.
你對于自己的想法極度熱衷
You're the right person to do it.
非你莫屬
You've gotta make it happen.
你一心想把自己的想法變成現實
So how does this break down?
具體的解釋是怎樣呢？
Cuz we're getting close to end here.
課程馬上就結束了
How am I doing on time?
時間還夠嗎？
Cool. Sweet. Perfect.
可以的，好
So this, this is sort of like a word play.
這有點像文字游戲了
You can't not do it in two ways.
滿足以下兩個條件，你就不得不做
One is, you're so passionate about it that you're just like, you have to do it.
第一，你對于自己的想法極度熱衷，你必須得完成它
You're gonna do it anyway.
你無論如何都得實現它
And this is really important.
這點很重要
Cuz you'll need that passion to get through all of those
因為我們介紹過創業的艱辛
like hard parts of being an entrepreneur that we talked about earlier.
你必須滿腔熱情，才能走過這些困難
You'll also need it to effectively recruit.
要招到有效率的員工，你也要有熱情
Candidates can smell when you don't have passion.
如果你自身動力不足，員工也會發現這點
And there are enough entrepreneurs out there who do have passion.
而熱血的企業家很多
That they may as well work for one of those.
你的員工可能就選擇去為別人工作了
So this is sort of like table stakes for being an entrepreneur.
這些都是成為企業家的風險
Your subconscious can also tell when you don't have passion and that'll be a huge problem.
而下意識里，如果你動力不足，自己也會洞察，這是個大問題
And then so the other way to interpret this is the world needs you to do it.
你不得不做的另一個原因，就是說，世界需要你去完成這個項目
So this is sort of validation that the idea is important.
這也證明，你的創意很重要
It's gonna make the world better, so the world needs it.
它會讓世界更美好，所以需要你去做出來
If it's not em, if it's not something the world needs, go do something the world needs.
但如果你的創意并沒有這么好，就去做一些值得做的東西
Your time's really valuable. Um, there are plenty good ideas out there.
你自己的時間也是很寶貴的，好創意有很多
Maybe it's not one of your own.
不一定非得是你自己的創意
Maybe it's an existing company.
可能來自于一家現有的公司
But you may as well work on something that's gonna be good.
你也可以去做別人的好創意
And then the second way to interpret this is the world needs you to do it.
下面一點，就是世界需要“你”來做
You're actually well suited to this problem in some way.
而要完成這個創意，你最合適不過
If this isn't true it may be a sign that your time is better spent somewhere else.
如果現實不是這樣，那么大家還是不要浪費時間了
But also just best case scenario if this isn't true,
如果你并不是最合適的
you out compete the team for which it is true.
你的能力超出了那個最合適的團隊
And you just end up with like a sub-optimal outcome for the world.
這個好點子給你來做就不會對世界產生最優結果
That doesn't feel very good.
這樣不太好
So drawing this back to my own experience at Asana, you know, Justin and I were kind of like reluctant entrepreneurs.
比方說我在Asana的經歷，賈斯汀和我都是頑固的企業家
We, before we founded Asana so we're working at Facebook.
在創建Asana之前，我們都在Facebook工作
We were already working on a great problem.
我們在做的項目非常棒
And we would basically work all day long on our normal projects and then at night we would keep working on
我們可能會全天工作，做常規的項目，在晚上，也要加班
this internal task manager that was used internally at the company.
做這個公司內部使用的管理工具
And it was just cuz we were like so passionate about the idea that was so clearly valuable, that we couldn't do anything else.
因為我們對這個創意投入了很多激情，創意本身價值又高，我們就不再做其他事情
And at some point we had to have the hard conversation of like,
到一定程度，我們意識到
okay well what does it mean if we don't actually start this company.
如果不開公司會怎樣
We were pretty, we were able to see the impact it was having on Facebook.
因為我們看到了這個軟件給Facebook帶來的影響
We were pretty convinced it could be really valuable for the world.
我們認為，這個創意是很有意義的
We were also pretty convinced nobody else was gonna build it.
也確定，沒有別人在做這個
The problem had been around a long time and we just kept seeing sort of incremental solutions to it.
很長時間內，這個問題一直都在，我們不斷尋找解決辦法
So if we didn't go out with the one that we thought was best,
如果用我們認為的最好的方式還做不出來
we thought there'd be a lot of value left on the table.
就說明它還是有很多價值的
And yeah. So we just couldn't, couldn't stop working on it.
確實，我們一直在做自己的項目
And literally the idea was like beating itself out of our chest, like forcing itself into the world.
這個創意，好像自己也迫不及待變成現實
And I think that's the feeling you should really be looking for when you start a company.
這就是大家要辦新公司時應該有的想法
That's how you know you have the right idea.
這樣大家就知道，自己做的是對的了
So I'll go ahead and stop there.
我就講到這里
I'll put some recommended books up here, but won't narrate them.
給大家一些推薦書目，我就不念了
And maybe, that's the end of the class.
課程就到這里
Yeah, thank you.
謝謝你
Maybe you guys could stick around for a few minutes if you have questions for him.
大家如果有問題的話，可以留下來問一下
And uh, see you Thursday.
周四見
Thank you.
謝謝
