　　So for example at Tesla

　　我想说在特斯拉
　　we've never spent any money on advertising 1
　　我们从来不花钱做广告
　　We put all of the money into R&D and manufacturing and design
　　我们把所有的钱都用于研发制造和设计
　　to try to make the car as good as possible
　　尽力让汽车变得更好
　　And I think that's the way to go
　　我认为公司就该这样
　　For any given company, just keep thinking about
　　任何公司在任何时候都需要思考
　　are these efforts that people are spending
　　人们花这么多精力做的事
　　are they resulting in a better product or service
　　是否能够让产品或服务变得更好
　　if they're not, stop those efforts
　　如果不能停止这些尝试
　　And then the final thing is
　　最后我要讲的是
　　don't just follow the trends
　　不要随大流
　　You may have heard me say
　　我经常说
　　it's good to think in terms of the physics approach from first principles
　　这里可以类比从基本原理出发的物理方法
　　which is
　　也就是说
　　rather than reasoning by analogy
　　不要人云亦云
　　you boil things down to the most fundamental truths you can imagine
　　你应当将事物归结到最根本的真理上
　　and you reason up from there
　　从根本出发进行推理
　　This is a good way to figure out if something really make sense
　　这能让你很好地判断某个想法是否真的行得通
　　or it's just whatever somebody else is doing
　　而不只是别人说可行那就可行
　　It is hard to think that way. You can't think that way about everything
　　当然这很难你不能什么事情都这样考虑
　　It takes a lot of effort, but
　　这需要很多精力不过
　　if you're trying to do something new, it's the best way to think
　　在创新的时候这无疑是最好的思维方式
　　And that framework was developed by physicists 2
　　物理学界也正是通过这种方式
　　to figure out counterintuitive things
　　推导出了各种不可思议的理论
　　like quantum mechanics
　　例如量子力学
　　It's really a powerful method
　　这无疑是一个很强有力的方法
　　And so that's, and then I think there's a final thing I will encourage you to do
　　我想我还有一点建议要讲给你们也就是
　　Now is the time to take risk
　　趁着年轻勇于冒险
　　You don't have kids
　　你们没有小孩
　　Your obligation... oh, sorry
　　你们的责任… 哦抱歉
　　Probably not, of course
　　也许有人有孩子
　　but as you get older, your obligations increase
　　不过随着年龄的增长责任也会随之增长
　　And once you have a family
　　有了家庭之后再去冒险
　　you start taking not just for yourself but for your family as well
　　承担风险的就不是你一个人而是你全家
　　It gets much harder to do things that might not work out
　　要去冒险做一些可能成不了的事难度可能会更大
　　So now it's the time to do that before you have those obligations
　　在没有这些责任之前做这样的事负担会比较小
　　So I want to encourage you to take risks and to do something bold
　　我鼓励大家勇于冒险胆子放大一些
　　You won't regret it. Thank you
　　你不会后悔的谢谢
