保罗·格雷厄姆:你脑海里的头号想法·第2则

保罗·格雷厄姆《《你脑海里的头号想法》》· The Top Idea in Your Mind · 领导 · 认知 · 财富 · 健康

That becomes what you think about when you take a shower in the morning. And that means other questions aren't. I'd hated raising money when I was running Viaweb, but I'd forgotten why I hated it so much. When we raised money for Y Combinator, I remembered. Money matters are particularly likely to become the top idea in your mind. The reason is that they have to be. It's hard to get money. It's not the sort of thing that happens by default. It's not going to happen unless you let it become the thing you think about in the shower. And then you'll make little progress on anything else you'd rather be working on.

白话

那件事会成为你早上洗澡时想的东西,这意味着其他问题就排不上号了。我经营 Viaweb 时讨厌融资,但忘了为什么那么讨厌。后来我们为 Y Combinator 融资时,我想起来了。钱的问题特别容易成为你心中的头号想法,因为它不得不如此。搞钱很难,不是默认就会发生的事。除非你让它成为洗澡时想的事,否则它不会发生。但这样一来,你更想做的其他事情就几乎没法推进了。所以要有意识地警惕:钱的问题会挤占你大脑的带宽,你需要主动管理它,而不是被它接管。

上下文

同出自保罗·格雷厄姆《你心中的头号想法》,他用自己的融资经历说明金钱问题如何占据思维。

今日一问

你脑子里是不是正被某个财务问题占满,以至于其他重要的事都推不动?
