📖 今天要学习的句子
My whole value system was built around scientists, and I wanted to be a great scientist. But when I actually look back at what I was uniquely good at and what I ended up spending my time doing, it was more around making money, tinkering with technology, and selling people on things. Explaining things and talking to people. I have some sales skills, which is a form of specific knowledge. I have some analytical skills on how to make money. And I have this ability to absorb data, obsess about it, and break it down—that is a specific skill that I have. I also love tinkering with technology. And all of this stuff feels like play to me, but it looks like work to others. There are other people to whom these things would be hard, and they say, “Well, how do I get good at being pithy and selling ideas?” Well, if you’re not already good at it or if you’re not really into it, maybe it’s not your thing—focus on the thing that you are really into. The first person to actually point out my real specific knowledge was my mother. She did it as an aside, talking from the kitchen, and she said it when I was fifteen or sixteen years old. I was telling a friend of mine that I want to be an astrophysicist, and she said, “No, you’re going to go into business.” I was like, “What, my mom’s telling me I’m going to be in business? I’m going to be an astrophysicist. Mom doesn’t know what she’s talking about.” But Mom knew exactly what she was talking about.
纳瓦尔的价值体系围绕科学家建立，他也想成为伟大的科学家。但回头看，他真正独特地擅长和长期投入的，是赚钱、摆弄技术、说服别人、解释观点和与人交流。 他的专长包括销售、分析赚钱方式、吸收并拆解数据，以及研究技术。这些事情对他而言像玩耍，对别人却像艰苦工作。 有些人觉得这些事情很难，便询问如何变得言简意赅、如何推销观点。如果你本来并不擅长，也没有真正投入其中，它可能并不适合你；应该专注于自己真正着迷的事。 第一个指出纳瓦尔真实专长的人是他的母亲。十五六岁时，他说想成为天体物理学家，母亲却判断他会进入商业领域。当时他不相信，后来才明白母亲准确看见了他的天赋。
