格隆汇12月24日｜即将踏入2024年，OpenAI CEO Sam Altman时隔一年半再次更新博客，写下17条“希望早点知道的建议(What I Wish Someone Had Told Me)”，将过去一年所悟凝结在了这17条短句中，希望对正在做2024年规划的你有帮助。 1、Optimism, obsession, self-belief, raw horsepower and personal connections are how things get started.事业的开启，源于乐观、执着、自信、行动力及人际关系。 2、Cohesive teams, the right combination of calmness and urgency, and unreasonable commitment are how things get finished. Long-term orientation is in short supply; try not to worry about what people think in the short term, which will get easier over time.有凝聚力的团队，冷静和紧迫的合理搭配，以及超乎情理的投入是成事的关键。眼光长远(长期导向)并不常见；无需过分担心他人的短期看法，时间越久，做事就越容易 。 3、It is easier for a team to do a hard thing that really matters than to do an easy thing that doesn’t really matter; audacious ideas motivate people.对于团队而言，完成一项真正重要的艰巨任务，比起做一些并不那么重要的简单工作要更有意义；大胆的想法能够激发斗志。 4、Incentives are superpowers; set them carefully.激励措施具有超能力，请谨慎设定它。 5、Concentrate your resources on a small number of high-conviction bets; this is easy to say but evidently hard to do. You can delete more stuff than you think.把资源集中在少数有着高度信念的目标上，说易行难。实际上可以剔除掉的东西比你想象的要多。 6、Communicate clearly and concisely.沟通要简洁明了。 7、Fight bullshit and bureaucracy every time you see it and get other people to fight it too. Do not let the org chart get in the way of people working productively together.遭遇官僚主义和废话，请与之抗争，也让其他人与之抗争。不要让组织架构妨碍人们高效地协同工作。 8、Outcomes are what count; don’t let good process excuse bad results.结果才是最重要的；好过程不是坏结果的遮羞布。 9、Spend more time recruiting. Take risks on high-potential people with a fast rate of improvement. Look for evidence of getting stuff done in addition to intelligence.花更多的时间招募人才。敢于投资那些潜力巨大且进步迅速的人。除了聪明这个条件外，还要看他们实际工作的表现。 10、Superstars are even more valuable than they seem, but you have to evaluate people on their net impact on the performance of the organization.明星员工的实际价值往往比表面更大，但评估时也要考虑到他们对于业务效能的净影响。 11、Fast iteration can make up for a lot; it’s usually ok to be wrong if you iterate quickly. Plans should be measured in decades, execution should be measured in weeks.迅速迭代可以弥补许多不足；通常情况下，如果你能迅速调整，即使犯下错误也无所谓。计划应以十年为周期，执行则应以周来衡量。 12、Don’t fight the business equivalent of the laws of physics.不要违背商业上的基本规律。 13、Inspiration is perishable and life goes by fast. Inaction is a particularly insidious type of risk.灵感易逝，人生苦短。“不作为”是一种特别容易被忽视的风险。 14、Scale often has surprising emergent properties.扩张规模能够带来新的机会。 15、Compounding exponentials are magic. In particular, you really want to build a business that gets a compounding advantage with scale.“复利指数”是魔法，你会想要创建一个随着规模扩大而能够获得复利优势的企业。 16、Get back up and keep going.重新站起来，继续前进。 17、Working with great people is one of the best parts of life.与优秀的人一起工作，是生活中最美好的部分。
