##自傳分兩類:隻想好好講個故事自己正好是主角 vs. 自我營銷。蘇世民的書如他本人一樣 正好落在這兩者之間 既有世俗的成功 也有完全不世俗的人生經曆 聽完最大感受便是他身上的平衡 他親自讀的幾章專門寫給年輕人的建議,雖然都是cliché 但因為是他經曆瞭八次經濟危機不倒實踐齣來的 所以更有說服力 最後提到親力親為搭建清華Schwarzman College 敬佩並感動他投身教育事業與對中美關係實實在在的付齣 25歲最後一天以聽完老先生的書收尾還挺滿足的 輕微緩解瞭我如日中天的quarter life crisis…… 年長一歲也想要在摸爬滾打中收獲像他一般的果決與魄力。
評分##不錯 但有些廢話
評分##蘇世民的一生非常有趣,創業者天生,且永遠充滿挑戰
評分##雞湯
評分##Was initially attracted by the idea of building an AI institution in Yale and humanity one which studys moral impact of AI in Oxford. Very interesting with the 1st&2nd parts but the subprime mortgage crisis part is unbearably long and boring. Whole piece is fairly good and no worry any difficult financial words.
評分我覺得這本書有很大一部分就是他自己吹牛逼,各種秀,看到中間的時候我都快看不下去瞭,我覺得和Jim Simons的那本差遠瞭,對細節的描述差很多
評分##kindle每天看10%,過程極度愉悅。初入職場時的typos跟calculation errors我們大傢都有犯過,後果不同,反思的境界也不一樣,很佩服他每次犯錯都坦然並因此建立rules避免第二次,在blackstone第二筆被steel價格蠱惑的壞投資是他個人拍闆,被投資人叫過去差點被罵哭,讀到即覺得好笑又很真誠,事後整個公司建立規則避免同類錯誤。asking for help這點真是相見恨晚,道理我都會講,可看他一以貫之的執行下來,迴想起自己在同樣境遇中的傲慢跟懦弱,很慚愧。從第一筆大單,價格他谘詢瞭每一位能提供意見的同事,在日本叫價錢也是立即跟partner電話,那麼自信的一個人卻能如此坦然的尋求幫助,大氣的讓人佩服。通過他的view看中美貿易戰,隻能說Trump的目標太清晰瞭。
評分##世俗成功的極緻的一生大概就是如此。 1. Simplify complex problems by focusing on only the two or three issues that will determine the outcome 2. There is nothing more interesting to people than their own problems. 3. Investors are always looking for great investments. The easier you make it for them, the better.
評分##When you're young, only take a job that provides you with a steep learning curve and strong trainings. First jobs are foundational. Don't take a job just because it seems prestigious.
