本文作者是硅谷投资人Naval Ravikant,印度裔移民,20多年来一直在美国硅谷创业。Naval最著名的创业项目是AngelList,世界股权众筹平台的鼻祖;他最著名的投资项目有两个,一个是Twitter,一个是Uber。一般来说,富人不会分享自己发家致富的秘密,但是Naval Ravikant却在网络上一口气发了39条语录,内容就是关于如何不靠运气而致富。随后这些语录被不断转发,翻译为多国语言,这一事件史称“推文风暴”。
How to Get Rich (Without getting lucky)
如何不靠运气致富
第1条:Seek wealth, not money or status. Wealth is having assets that earn while you sleep. Money is how we transfer time and wealth. Status is your place in the social hierarchy.
去追求财富,而非金钱或地位。财富指的是拥有你在睡觉时也能增值的资产,金钱只是我们转移时间和财富的媒介,地位则是你在社会等级中的位置。
第2条:Understand that ethical wealth creation is possible. If you secretly despise wealth, it will elude you.
要明白一件事:通过道德手段创造财富是可能的。如果你内心鄙视财富,那么它将永远与你无缘。
第3条:Ignore people playing status games. They gain status by attacking people playing wealth creation games.
别去理会那些热衷于玩地位游戏的人,他们通过攻击那些创造财富的人来获得地位。
第4条:You’re not going to get rich renting out your time. You must own equity — a piece of a business — to gain your financial freedom.
仅靠出租你的时间是无法致富的,你必须拥有股权,也就是生意的一部分,才能获得个人的财富自由。
第5条:You will get rich by giving society what it wants but does not yet know how to get. At scale.
通过大规模地向社会大众提供他们想要但却不知道如何获得的东西,你将会获得巨额的财富。

互联网极大地拓宽了一个人职业生涯的可能性。但大多数人还没有意识到这一点。
第8条:Play iterated games. All the returns in life, whether in wealth, relationships, or knowledge, come from compound interest.
做能够自我复利的事情。生活中所有的回报,无论是财富、人际关系还是知识,都来自于复利。
第9条:Pick business partners with high intelligence, energy, and, above all, integrity.
在选择商业合作伙伴的时候,要选择那些高智商、精力旺盛的,但最重要的特质是:正直诚信。
第10条:Don’t partner with cynics and pessimists. Their beliefs are self-fulfilling.
不要和愤世嫉俗者和悲观主义者合作。因为他们会任由坏事发生,以此证明他们的负面看法是正确的。
第11条:Learn to sell. Learn to build. If you can do both, you will be unstoppable.
学会如何销售,学会如何创造。如果你能够兼备这两项技能,你将所向披靡。
第12条:Arm yourself with specific knowledge, accountability, and leverage.
用专家知识、责任感和杠杆效应武装自己。
第13条:Specific knowledge is knowledge that you cannot be trained for. If society can train you, it can train someone else, and replace you.
专家知识指的是你无法通过培训获得的知识。如果这种知识可以经由培训而得,那么其他人同样也可以获得,并且以此取代你。
第14条:Specific knowledge is found by pursuing your genuine curiosity and passion rather than whatever is hot right now.
专家知识是是通过追求你真正的兴趣和热爱的事物,而非追随当下的热潮获得的。
第15条:Building specific knowledge will feel like play to you but will look like work to others.

第17条:Specific knowledge is often highly technical or creative. It cannot be outsourced or automated.

第18条:Embrace accountability, and take business risks under your own name. Society will reward you with responsibility, equity, and leverage.

最具责任感的人都具有独一无二的、世人皆知的、敢于冒险的个性特征,如奥普拉、川普、Kanye、马斯克。
第20条:“Give me a lever long enough, and a place to stand, and I will move the earth.”— Archimedes
只要给我一根足够长的杠杆和一个支点,我就能撬起地球。——阿基米德
第21条:Fortunes require leverage. Business leverage comes from capital, people, and products with no marginal cost of replication (code and media).
财富的增长需要利用使用杠杆效应。商业杠杆源于资本、人力资源和具有零边际复制成本的产品(如代码和媒体)。
第22条:Capital means money. To raise money, apply your specific knowledge, with accountability, and show resulting good judgment.
资本,说白了就是钱。想要筹集资金,就要学以致用,将你的专家知识付诸实践,勇于承担责任,同时展现由此而来的卓越判断力。

劳动力是指为你工作的人,这是最古老且最受争议的杠杆形式。劳动力杠杆会让你父母因为你手下有许多人为你工作而感到骄傲,但你不要浪费生命去追求这一点。
第24条:Capital and labor are permissioned leverage. Everyone is chasing capital, but someone has to give it to you. Everyone is trying to lead, but someone has to follow you.
资本和劳动力都是受限制的杠杆。人人都在追逐资本,但必须有投资人愿意给你。人人都想当领导,但必须有人愿意追随你。
第25条:Code and media are permissionless leverage. They’re the leverage behind the newly rich. You can create software and media that works for you while you sleep.
代码和媒体则是不受限制的杠杆。它们是新贵富豪背后的杠杆力量。你可以创作软件和媒体,让它们在你睡觉时为你工作。
第26条:An army of robots is freely available — it’s just packed in data centers for heat and space efficiency. Use it.

如果你不会编程,那你还可以写书和博客,或者做视频或者播客节目。

你应当将时间安排得满满当当,以至于连喝杯咖啡的闲暇都没有,但同时也要保证日程安排井井有条,不能过于杂乱无章。
第34条:Set and enforce an aspirational personal hourly rate. If fixing a problem will save less than your hourly rate, ignore it. If outsourcing a task will cost less than your hourly rate, outsource it.
给自己定一个理想的时薪标准并严格执行。如果解决某个问题节省的金钱还抵不上你投入的时间成本,就别把时间浪费在上面。如果把任务外包出去所需的费用比起自己去做能省下更多时间,那就大胆地外包吧。
第35条:Work as hard as you can. Even though who you work with and what you work on are more important than how hard you work.
尽管你跟谁一起工作、做什么工作,要远比你的努力程度更加重要。但还是要倾尽全力去工作。
