"企业家喜欢把每一个小决策都归功于自己,并说当时完全有道理。我向你保证,很多时候都是运气。但通过努力工作和尝试很多很多事情来创造属于你的运气。"
— Kevin Systrom
Simplified Meaning:
Starting a business often involves many small choices and actions. People who start and run businesses like to believe that each of these decisions was smart and well-thought-out. However, in reality, success isn't just about making perfect decisions; a lot of it comes down to being in the right place at the right time, which is partly luck. Despite this, you can improve your chances of getting lucky by working hard and experimenting with many different ideas. Imagine a farmer planting seeds. Not all seeds grow into healthy plants, but the more seeds the farmer plants, the higher the chances that some will grow well. In the same way, entrepreneurs must try many different strategies and put in a lot of effort to increase their chances of success. For example, Thomas Edison tried thousands of different designs before he successfully created the light bulb. By being persistent and experimenting repeatedly, he eventually found a solution that worked. In your own life, this means not being afraid to try new things and work hard at them. If one idea doesn’t work out, try another one, and keep learning from your experiences. Over time, these efforts can lead to success, even if some of it happens by chance.
