　　And it was suggested that I distill 2 things down to 3 items
　　有人建议我将内容提炼为三点
　　I think I'll go with 4
　　我想 我会讲四点
　　and I'll try to, I think these are pretty important ones
　　我认为这些都非常重要
　　So I'm going to make it sound like well you've heard of it before
　　也许你们会觉得有些你们原来听过
　　but it's worth reemphasizing
　　不过我认为强调下是值得的
　　The first is you need to work, if you, depending on how well you want to do
　　首先 你需要超级努力地工作
　　particularly if you're starting a company, you need to work super hard
　　特别是对于创立公司的人
　　So what does super hard mean?
　　超级努力是什么意思呢
　　Well, when my brother and I was starting up our first company
　　我弟弟和我一起开创第一家公司的时候
　　instead of getting an apartment, we just rented a small office
　　我们租不起公寓 只租了一间小办公室
　　and we slept on the couch 3
　　我们都睡在沙发上
　　and we showed at the YMCA
　　我们在基督教青年会洗澡
　　We're so hard up. We had just one computer
　　我们很拮据 只买得起一台电脑
　　The website was up during the day, and I was coding at night
　　网站在白天运行 而我在晚上写代码
　　seven days a week, all the time
　　一周七天 没有间歇
　　And I briefly had a girlfriend at that period
　　这期间 我短暂交过一位女友
　　and in order to be with me, she had to sleep in the office
　　为了和我一起 她不得不也睡办公室
　　So I work hard like at every waking hour
　　我工作努力到 醒着的时间都用于工作
　　that's the thing I would say particularly if you are starting a company
　　特别是对于要开公司的人 这就是我的建议
　　And if you do simple math, say like
　　你可以简单算算
　　if somebody else is working 50 hours, and you're working 100
　　如果别人工作50小时 而你工作100小时
　　you'll get twice as much done in the course of a year as the other company
　　你公司在一年之内的作为肯定会比别人公司强一倍
　　The other thing I'll say is that
　　我要说的另外一点是
　　if you're creating a company or if you're joining a company
　　如果你要创立公司 或是加入一家公司
　　the most important thing is to attract great people
　　最重要的一点就是吸引很棒的人
　　So either join a group that's amazing that you respect or
　　加入团队的话 你要加入让你尊敬的美妙团队
　　if you're building a company, you've got to gather great people
　　创建公司的话 你要聚集一群很棒的人
　　I mean, all the company is is a group of people
　　要知道 公司就是一群人
　　that are gathered together to create a product or service
　　聚在一起创造出产品或服务
　　And so depending upon how talented and hard-working that group is
　　这群人本领越大 工作越勤劳
　　and the degree to which they are focused cohesively in a good direction
　　凝聚力越强 目标越明确
　　that will determine the success of the company
　　公司就越有可能成功
　　Do everything you can to gather great people if you're creating a company
　　如果你要创立公司 你需要尽一切可能网罗最优秀的人
　　Then to focus on signal over noise
　　下面一点是 撇除噪音 专注于信号
　　A lot of companies get confused
　　很多公司都糊涂了
　　They spend money on things that don't actually make the product better
　　将钱花到不能改进产品的地方
