It seems that this is the first book to be read from the beginning since I went to college. It may have been the habit of reading novels. All the books I read are just a few moments ago. In the end, I boast that I have read the book with others, it seems that nothing is left.
First of all, I was surprised by Dr. Wu's powerful narrative and logic reasoning capabilities. In my eyes, engineering people are often not so good at describing things, there are also some shortcomings in expression ability. I attended a lecture with the CTO of ThougtWork, and the woman with the big beard told us "Now" at the beginning of the lecture.
That we all know that it will be a boring pesentation, then I'll try my best to make it shorter ". Therefore, the biggest feeling after reading this book is that the text is quite simple and smooth, and reading is a pleasure. The book has spent a lot of time introducing the history of the latest companies in the past technological revolutions. You can sing me on the stage, "for nearly one hundred years, there are always companies that are lucky, conscious, or unconsciously standing on the waves of the technological revolution. Over the past decade, they have represented the wave of Science and Technology until the next wave came ". Dozens of companies listed in the book, such as AT&T
IBM, apple, Intel, Microsoft, Cisco, Yahoo, and Google all represent the peaks of the times. They are the buzz of the times, and we may sigh, in that lucky age, they caught a certain detail, and then a group of young people started working in a garage. Then a global company was born. We are always so prone to great fantasies about such a story. How nice it would be if the person who found such a thing was himself. But I keep thinking, even if we find that the person who finds something is us, do we dare to put everything in our own way to face the unknown that is unknown?
I have to say that Silicon Valley is a magical place. Relying on Stanford's powerful talent production base, it has once and again changed the world's technological development trajectory. I think that Stanford's learning atmosphere has created his myth. At Stanford, you have to study hard to keep pace. A Stanford alumnus who talked to a team said that Stanford's library and study room were open all night, people who are still learning at two or three o'clock every night, in comparison, do feel very ashamed and learn from each other. In terms of technology, it should be more accurate. Stanford can accept losers. Even if you fail to start a business, you can still go back to your classmates. No one will feel differently about your failure. Instead, they will respect you, because you dare to pursue your dreams. Stanford's teachers are far from the same as our school's teachers who write papers and cheat in research funding, many Stanford teachers have their own companies or work in some technology companies, and they have not given up teaching and educating people at school, use their own practical actions to lead their students to embark on their own path to pursue their dreams. In Microsoft
Acdemic reseach search Stanford casually above. None of the figures popped out are the top academic figures in the world.
The development of science and technology and business are also closely related. In fact, I think this book is wonderful in history, but it makes me gain more details about its business. I first learned about the difference between the two concepts of venture capital and Angel. For the first time, I learned about Morgan and Goldman Sachs, for the first time, I learned that an investment company in the world was able to control the price of international crude oil according to their own wishes, which is about the international situation. Technology is the brain of the world's development, while finance is the blood of the world's development. If there is a problem with technology, the development speed is at most slower. If the blood stops flowing, the whole world is about to stop. The financial crisis brings not only crisis to the world, but also opportunities, because any crisis will pass, and in the long history of development, after all, there are still some normal times, and every financial crisis is often accompanied by the growth of many emerging giant technology companies. The crisis has eliminated many companies with poor operation and management, however, companies with real technology and strength often rise rapidly in the crisis and become the trend of the times.
When I put down my books, I still think back to the years of the Golden Horse-the competition of technology, and the fraud in business. However, this will all be a thing of the past, and there will be only stories of successful people in history, but I still admire the losers who dare to challenge the authority and challenge the industry's boss. It is their presence that reminds those rule makers who are currently at the top of the industry-your position will be ours sooner or later.
Maybe it is good for us to encounter a wave of technology. But when the opportunity comes, do we dare to stand up and assume the mission that the times have given ourselves? In any case, I believe that we will always choose to fight hard to make the world a little different because of our own existence. This kind of life can be no regrets.
