If you’re going to throw your time, energy, and youth at a company, try to join one that’s not just making a better mousetrap. Find a business that’s starting a revolution. A company that’s likely to make a substantial change in the status quo has the following characteristics:

• It’s creating a product or service that’s wholly new or combines existing technology in a novel way that the competition can’t make or even understand.
• This product solves a problem—a real pain point—that a lot of customers experience daily. There should be an existing large market.
• The novel technology can deliver on the company vision—not just within the product but also the infrastructure, platforms, and systems that support it.
• Leadership is not dogmatic about what the solution looks like and is willing to adapt to their customers’ needs.
• It’s thinking about a problem or a customer need in a way you’ve never heard before, but which makes perfect sense once you hear it.

我们终究会死亡，宇宙终究会走向热寂。应把生命看作一场经历；每时每刻，我们都在经历。因此，要压缩每段经历中的信息量。最好的压缩方式，莫过于和一群人一起，做自己认为有意义的事。
