Hôm nay mình tình cờ đọc lại bài "How to Make Wealth" của Paul Graham.
Bài khá dài, tại đây: paulgraham <dot> <com> <slash> wealth <dot> html (mình chưa đăng được link)
Dưới đây mình tóm tắc lại mấy ý mình thấy thú vị ở lần đọc này, chia sẻ cùng anh em đang làm start-up:
1. There is a conservation law at work here: if you want to make a million dollars, you have to endure a million dollars' worth of pain.
2. In a startup, you're not just trying to solve problems. You're trying to solve problems that users care about.
3. Developing new technology is [...] one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration. Without the incentive of wealth, no one wants to do it. Engineers will work on ***y projects like fighter planes and moon rockets for ordinary salaries, but more mundane technologies like light bulbs or semiconductors have to be developed by entrepreneurs.
4. When you're running a startup, your competitors decide how hard you work. And they pretty much all make the same decision: as hard as you possibly can.
5. It's common for a startup to be developing a genuinely good product, take slightly too long to do it, run out of money, and have to shut down.
6. You'd think that a company about to buy you would do a lot of research and decide for themselves how valuable your technology was. Not at all. What they go by is the number of users you have.
