保罗·格雷厄姆:亿万富翁如何建造·第1则

As I was deciding what to write about next, I was surprised to find that two separate essays I'd been planning to write were actually the same. The first is about how to ace your Y Combinator interview. There has been so much nonsense written about this topic that I've been meaning for years to write something telling founders the truth. The second is about something politicians sometimes say — that the only way to become a billionaire is by exploiting people — and why this is mistaken. Keep reading, and you'll learn both simultaneously. I know the politicians are mistaken because it was my job to predict which people will become billionaires. I think I can truthfully say that I know as much about how to do this as anyone.

白话
如何通过YC面试和驳斥“亿万富翁靠剥削”其实是同一件事:核心是展示你真正理解用户需求并诚实。政客说成为亿万富翁只能靠剥削,这是错的,因为格雷厄姆的工作就是预测谁会成为亿万富翁,他知道亿万富翁靠的是创造人们想要的东西。面试中,合伙人会判断你是否真的知道人们在想要什么,以及你是否在撒谎。所以,与其包装,不如诚实展示你的洞察。
