保罗·格雷厄姆:如何独立思考·第1则
保罗·格雷厄姆《《如何独立思考》》· How to Think for Yourself · 行动 · 财富 · 投资 · 领导
There are some kinds of work that you can't do well without thinking differently from your peers. To be a successful scientist, for example, it's not enough just to be correct. Your ideas have to be both correct and novel. You can't publish papers saying things other people already know. You need to say things no one else has realized yet. The same is true for investors. It's not enough for a public market investor to predict correctly how a company will do. If a lot of other people make the same prediction, the stock price will already reflect it, and there's no room to make money. The only valuable insights are the ones most other investors don't share. You see this pattern with startup founders too.

白话
有些工作,如果你不和同行想得不一样,就做不好。比如成为成功的科学家,光正确不够,你的想法还得新颖。你不能发表别人已经知道的东西,必须说出别人还没意识到的事。投资者也一样:公开市场投资者光预测对公司业绩不够,如果很多人都预测对了,股价早就反映了,你赚不到钱。只有多数投资者没有的洞见才有价值。初创公司创始人也是如此。所以,在这些领域,独立思考不是选项,而是必要条件。
