Let's see, well, you know, honestly, I think I might try and study physics.
我想想，我可能想努力學(xué)物理

沒(méi)有學(xué)好物理，是我人生一大遺憾
For some reason, like, I was all excited,
出于某個(gè)原因，我很感興趣
when I was a kid, computers were the thing, maybe they still are, right?
當(dāng)我還是個(gè)小孩子的時(shí)候，計(jì)算機(jī)正盛行，計(jì)算機(jī)目前仍盛行
So I sort of got very excited about writing code.
我對(duì)寫(xiě)代碼很感興趣

But I don't know if that's, what am I saying?
我不知道…
I'm saying, I was about to say,
我想表達(dá)的是
I don't know if that's going to be helpful starting a startup and

I've just told you to follow you own curiosity!
只要跟著好奇心走就行啦
So who cares if it's helpful? It'll turn out to be helpful. Questions?
誰(shuí)關(guān)心是否有助于創(chuàng)業(yè)呢？從結(jié)果來(lái)看，還是有助于的
Another question online,
還是一個(gè)網(wǎng)上的問(wèn)題
what are your recurring systems in your work and personal life that make you efficient?
你有什么機(jī)制讓工作和生活更有效率呢？
Oh, boy, Ookay.
好的
So what are my recurring systems in my work and personal life that make me efficient?
我有什么機(jī)制讓工作和生活更有效率呢？
Well, having kids is a good way to be efficient.
生孩子是提高效率的好方法
Cuz you have no time left, so if you wanna get anything done,
因?yàn)椋坏┯辛撕⒆?，留給自己的時(shí)間就少了
the amount of done you do per time is high.
如果想在有限時(shí)間內(nèi)把工作做完，就得提高效率
So, actually many parents, many startup founders who have kids have made that point explicitly.
其實(shí)很多人父人母級(jí)別的創(chuàng)業(yè)者深有體會(huì)
It causes you to focus, because you have no choice.
你必須得專(zhuān)注，因?yàn)槟銊e無(wú)他法
Let's see but that's not,
我申明一下
I wouldn't actually recommend you having kids,
我并不鼓勵(lì)大家為了變得專(zhuān)注
just to have you more focused so,
而生孩子哈
let's see, you know, I don't think I'm very efficient.
我自己效率并不高
I have two ways of getting work done.
我有兩個(gè)辦法逼著自己把事情做完
One is, like, during Y Combinator, the way I worked on Y Combinator was, I was forced to, right?
一個(gè)是，在YC的時(shí)候我是這么逼自己的
Like, there was just, I had to set the application deadline.
我設(shè)定答復(fù)申請(qǐng)的截止日期
And then people would apply,
創(chuàng)始人提交申請(qǐng)
and then there would be all of these applications
我必須在一定時(shí)間內(nèi)答復(fù)這些申請(qǐng)
that I'd have to respond to by a certain time, so I had to read them.
因此我得研究這些申請(qǐng)
And I knew if I read them badly we would get bad startups,
如果我沒(méi)有研究好，就可能會(huì)投資一些不好的創(chuàng)業(yè)公司
so I tried really hard to read them well, right?
我得努力研究申請(qǐng)書(shū)
So I set up this situation that forced me to work.
通過(guò)設(shè)定截止日期來(lái)逼著我工作
The other kind of work I do is like writing essays.
另一個(gè)方法，類(lèi)似于寫(xiě)文章
And I do that involuntarily.
我是不由自主地寫(xiě)的
I'm like walking down the street and the essay starts writing itself in my head.
就像，我走在大街上，文章就自己浮現(xiàn)在我的腦海里了
And so really I either force myself to work on less exciting things or,
我要么是逼著自己做不是那么感興趣的事
I can't help working on exciting things,
要么是不自主地做感興趣的事
and I don't have any useful techniques for making myself efficient.
我沒(méi)有什么好辦法來(lái)提高效率
Sorry.
不好意思
If you work on things you like you don't have to force yourself to be efficient. Yes?
如果是做感興趣的事，根本不需要逼著自己提高效率
