I strongly believe that missionaries make better products. They care more. For a missionary, it's not just about the business. There has to be a business, and the business has to make sense, but that's not why you do it. You do it because you have something meaningful that motivates you.

我坚信传道者能创造更好的产品,因为他们关心更多的事情。对于传道者,凡事并不仅仅是生意。得有桩生意,还得言之有理,但那也并非你去做的原因。你做某件事,是因为它的意义驱动着你去做。

让我最不爽的一件事:一天路过银行时,看到一则广告,力劝大家将自家房子作二次抵押,以此贷款去旅游。这几近邪恶。

If you're not stubborn, you'll give up on experiments too soon. And if you're not flexible, you'll pound your head against the wall and you won't see a different solution to a problem you're trying to solve.

如果你不固执,就会过早放弃试验。如果你不灵活,就会头撞南墙,而无法另辟蹊径解决当下难题。
