《那些我希望有人早就告诉我的事》

-----Sam Altman

1、Optimism, obsession, self-belief, raw horsepower and personal connections are how things get started.

乐观、执着、自信、强大动力和良好人际关系是启动一切的关键。

2、Cohesive teams, the right combination of calmness and urgency, and unreasonable commitment are how things get finished. Long-term orientation is in short supply; try not to worry about what people think in the short term, which will get easier over time.

团结的团队、冷静与紧迫的正确结合，以及非理性的承诺是事情完成的基础。长期导向是稀缺资源；尽量不要担心短期内人们的看法，随着时间的推移这会变得更容易。

3、It is easier for a team to do a hard thing that really matters than to do an easy thing that doesn't really matter; audacious ideas motivate people.

对于一个团队来说，做一件真正重要的难事比做一件不那么重要的容易事更容易；大胆的想法激励人们。

4、Incentives are superpowers; set them carefully.

激励是超能力；小心设定它们。

5、Concentrate your resources on a small number of high-conviction bets; this is easy to say but evidently hard to do. You can delete more stuff than you think.

将资源集中在少数几个高信念的赌注上；这说起来容易做起来难。你可以删除的东西比你想象的要多。

6、Communicate clearly and concisely.

清晰、简洁地沟通。

7、Fight bullshit and bureaucracy every time you see it and get other people to fight it too. Do not let the org chart get in the way of people working productively together.

时刻抵制废话和官僚主义，让他人也加入这场斗争。别让组织架构阻碍高效合作。

8、Outcomes are what count; don't let good process excuse bad results.

结果才是关键；不要让良好的过程成为糟糕结果的借口。

9、Spend more time recruiting. Take risks on high-potential people with a fast rate of improvement. Look for evidence of getting stuff done in addition to intelligence.

花更多时间招聘。对有高潜力且进步快的人冒险。除了智力外，还要寻找完成事情的证据。

10、Superstars are even more valuable than they seem, but you have to evaluate people on their net impact on the performance of the organization.

超级明星比他们看起来更有价值，但你必须根据他们对组织绩效的净影响来评估人员。

11、Fast iteration can make up for a lot; it's usually ok to be wrong if you iterate quickly.Plans should be measured in decades,execution should be measured in weeks.

快速迭代可以弥补很多；如果你迭代得快，通常犯错是可以接受的。计划应以十年为单位，执行应以周为单位。

12、Don't fight the business equivalent of the laws of physics.

不要与商业版的物理定律作斗争。

13、Inspiration is perishable and life goes by fast. Inaction is a particularly insidious type of risk.

灵感是易逝的，生活转瞬即逝。不作为是一种特别阴险的风险。

14、Scale often has surprising emergent properties.

规模往往有出人意料的新特性。

15、Compounding exponentials are magic. In particular, you really want to build a business that gets a compounding advantage with scale.

复合指数是魔法。特别是，你真的想建立一个随规模获得复合优势的企业。

16、Get back up and keep going.

爬起来继续前进。

17、Working with great people is one of the best parts of life.

与优秀的人一起工作是生活中最美好的部分之等你评论，等你“一鸣惊人”
