So part of it being glamorous is you get some positive media attention sometimes.
创业之所以吸引人是因为有时候会吸引媒体的报道
It's nice to be on, like, the cover of Time and, like, be the person of the year.
想想看，成为时代杂志封面人物或者年度人物，感觉一定不错
It's maybe a little less nice to be on the cover of People with, like, one of your wedding photos.
但如果是你的婚礼照出现在《人物》杂志上，可能就不那么让人激动了
It depends who you are.
这也因人而异
Some people would like that.
有一些人喜欢曝光
I'd really hate it.
像我，就不喜欢过度曝光个人生活
But when Valleywag like, you know,
又比如说
analyses your lecture and just tears you apart, like, you definitely don't want that.
《硅谷闲话》要细细解析你的讲座，你应该是不乐意的
Nobody wants that.
没人愿意被人品头论足
And then, one thing I almost never hear people talk about is, you're just a lot more committed.
还有一点我几乎从未听创业者说过，就是你要更加投入，更多坚持
So if you're an employee of a startup.
如果你是一家新企业的员工
and, you know, things are stressful, it's not going well, you're unhappy, you can just leave.
如果企业情况不好，你不满意，可以辞职
For a founder you can leave but it's, it's very uncool.
作为创始人，当然也可以辞职，但这样很不好
It's pretty much a black eye on the rest of your career.
这是职业生涯中很严重的败笔
And so you really are committed you know, for ten years if it's going well
如果发展顺利的话，可能得潜心工作十年
probably more like five years if it's not going well.
也有可能，在五年时就发展不下去
So three years to figure out that it's not going well and
到三年时，看企业发展的状况
then if you find, like, a nice landing for your company,
如果你发现公司有个不错的着陆点
another two years at the acquiring company.
剩下两年进行公司收购事宜
And if you leave before that,
如果在完成之前，你要离开
again, it's not only gonna harm yourself financially, it's gonna harm all your employees.
我强调一下，这样不仅造成自己财政的损失，也会侵害你员工的权益
So you pretty much don't um, so if you're lucky,
那么好点的情况是
and you have a bad startup idea you fail quickly um,
创意不好，公司很快就倒闭了
but most of the time, it's not like that.
但多数情况不是这样
All right, moving right along um, so.
我们接着看
And I should say,
我要提一点
I have had a lot of this stress in my own life, especially in the early years of Facebook.
我自己也遇到这种问题，尤其是刚开始做Facebook的那段时间
You know, I just got really unhealthy.
我的个人健康受到影响
I wasn't exercising. I had a lot of anxiety.
因为没时间锻炼，个人又会焦虑
Actually, I threw out my back, like, almost every six months, like, when I was like, 21, 22.
可以告诉大家，差不多每六个月我的身体就要歇菜一次，那还是在二十一二岁的时候
Which was, like, pretty crazy.
这种情况是很不正常的
And so, if you do start a company.
所以，如果大家要创业
make you know, be aware that you're gonna have to deal with this and you have to actually manage it.
一定要注意，大家一定会遇到像这样的问题，大家要学会如何应对这些麻烦
It's actually, like, one of your core responsibilities.
这是大家的核心责任之一
Ben Horowitz likes to say, like, the number one rule of a CEO is managing your own psychology.
本·霍洛维茨经常说，做总裁，首先要掌控好自己的心理
It's absolutely true, make sure you do it.
确实如此，大家应该要做到这一点
