【英文原文】

Do it Better

The next time you find yourself complaining that something is broken or inconvenient or of low quality, go and do it better instead.

If you hate how slow the line at your local coffeeshop moves, go and start a coffeshop that does lines better.

If you think your boss is a terrible manager, get your own department or company or team and run it the right way.

If you’re appalled at the state of modern literature (“What are kids reading these days?”), write the kind of book that ought to be written.

If you think pharmaceutical companies are corrupt, build one that isn’t.

“That’s impossible,” you say. “I can’t start a multi-billion-dollar company or write a bestseller or run a whole department!”

Why not? Someone else clearly did. What makes you think you can’t? Plus, if you’re right about the better coffeeshop or the better management or the better book, then the market and the world are desperately looking for someone like you.

“But I can’t do all of that!” you protest.

You’re right; you can’t fix everything. You might not even be able to do two or three things. But if the other choice is to become yet another armchair reformer who does nothing but complain, why not pick one and do something?
