So for example at Tesla

我想说 在特斯拉

we've never spent any money on advertising

我们从来不花钱做广告

We put all of the money into R&D and manufacturing and design

我们把所有的钱都用于研发 制造和设计

to try to make the car as good as possible

尽力让汽车变得更好

And I think that's the way to go

我认为 公司就该这样

For any given company, just keep thinking about

任何公司 在任何时候都需要思考

are these efforts that people are spending

人们花这么多精力做的事

are they resulting in a better product or service

是否能够让产品或服务变得更好

if they're not, stop those efforts

如果不能 停止这些尝试

And then the final thing is

最后我要讲的是

don't just follow the trends

不要随大流

You may have heard me say

我经常说

it's good to think in terms of the physics approach from first principles

这里可以类比从基本原理出发的物理方法

which is

也就是说

rather than reasoning by analogy

不要人云亦云

you boil things down to the most fundamental truths you can imagine

你应当将事物归结到最根本的真理上

and you reason up from there

从根本出发进行推理

This is a good way to figure out if something really make sense

这能让你很好地判断 某个想法是否真的行得通

or it's just whatever somebody else is doing

而不只是别人说可行 那就可行

It is hard to think that way. You can't think that way about everything

当然 这很难 你不能什么事情都这样考虑

It takes a lot of effort, but

这需要很多精力 不过

if you're trying to do something new, it's the best way to think

在创新的时候 这无疑是最好的思维方式

And that framework was developed by physicists

物理学界也正是通过这种方式

to figure out counterintuitive things

推导出了各种不可思议的理论

like quantum mechanics

例如量子力学

It's really a powerful method

这无疑是一个很强有力的方法

And so that's, and then I think there's a final thing I will encourage you to do

我想 我还有一点建议要讲给你们 也就是

Now is the time to take risk

趁着年轻 勇于冒险

You don't have kids

你们没有小孩

Your obligation… oh, sorry

你们的责任… 哦 抱歉

Probably not, of course

也许有人有孩子

but as you get older, your obligations increase

不过随着年龄的增长 责任也会随之增长

And once you have a family

有了家庭之后再去冒险

you start taking not just for yourself but for your family as well

承担风险的就不是你一个人 而是你全家

It gets much harder to do things that might not work out

要去冒险做一些可能成不了的事 难度可能会更大

So now it's the time to do that before you have those obligations

在没有这些责任之前 做这样的事负担会比较小

So I want to encourage you to take risks and to do something bold

我鼓励大家勇于冒险 胆子放大一些

You won't regret it. Thank you

你不会后悔的 谢谢
