  to say the most useful things I can think. I'm going to do my best
  讲我认为最有用的东西 我会尽我所能
  And it was suggested that I distill 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
  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
