Not pushing hard enough for your project

没为项目付出足够努力

Asana's Justin Rosenstein could have launched Google Drive in 2006, but didn't push hard enough for his project. At 22 years old, Rosenstein was working at the company and had the idea for "Gdrive," which was developed to sync files across your computers, but the idea was turned down by Larry Page.

团队任务管理软件Asana的创始人贾斯汀·罗森斯坦本能在2006年推出谷歌云端硬盘，他却没为这个项目付出足够多的努力。当时22岁的他工作时有了云端硬盘的构思，研发出后能同步电脑里的文件，但这个想法被拉里·佩奇否决了。

Rosenstein was so intimidated, he didn't have the confidence to fight back. He writes: "I didn't have enough confidence I was right. I also didn't have the organizational capital to influence the Google Docs team, and so when I was asked to join Facebook in 2007, I left Google without completing the project. Google eventually launched an integrated Gdrive five years later."

罗森斯坦非常害怕，他没有反击的信心。他写道：“我没有足够信心相信自己是正确的。在组织里我也没有能力影响谷歌团队，所以当2007年我加入脸书时，我没有完成这个项目就离开了谷歌。谷歌最终在5年后推出了整合版的云端硬盘。”

Rosenstein learned that if you're "living and breathing" a project, you need to "understand and articulate the marketing positioning and strategy that’s unique to your project." Then, you need to fight your hardest for it.

罗森斯坦明白了如果你为一个项目付出心血，你需要“理解和明晰它特有的市场定位和战略。”然后，你要为它付出全部努力。
