保罗·格雷厄姆：正确的那种固执·第5则
保罗·格雷厄姆《《正确的那种固执》》· The Right Kind of Stubborn · 领导 · 行动 · 人性 · 成长
When we love a problem that other people don't, it's often because we've unconsciously noticed that it's more important than they realize. Which leads to our fifth quality: there needs to be some overall goal. If you're like me you began, as a kid, merely with the desire to do something great. In theory that should be the most powerful motivator of all, since it includes everything that could possibly be done. But in practice it's not much use, precisely because it includes too much. It doesn't tell you what to do at this moment. So in practice your energy and imagination and resilience and good judgement have to be directed toward some fairly specific goal.

白话
我们之所以热爱别人不关心的问题，常常是因为潜意识里发现它比他们以为的更重要。这引出第五个品质：需要有一个总体目标。像很多人一样，我小时候只想做伟大的事。理论上这应该是最强的动力，因为它包含一切可能做的事。但实践中这没什么用，恰恰因为它包含太多，不告诉你此刻该做什么。所以实际上，你的精力、想象力、韧性和判断力必须指向某个相当具体的目标。
