Bill Gates was 20 years old. Steve Jobs was 21. Warren BufTett was 26. Ralph Lauren was 28. Estee Lauder was 29.
These now iconic names were all 20-somethings when they started their companies that would throw them, and their enterprises, into some of the biggest successes ever known. Consider this: many of the truly remarkable innovations of the latest generation—a list that includes Google, Face-book and Twitter—were all founded by people under 30. The number of people in their mid-20s disrupting entire industries, taking on jobs usually reserved for people twice their age and doing it in the glare of millions of social media "followers" seems to be growing very rapidly.
So what is it about that youthful decade after those awkward teenage years that inspires such shoot-for-the-moon success?
Does age really have something to do with it? It does.
Young people bring fresh eyes to confronting problems and challenges that others have given up on. 20-something entrepreneurs see no boundaries and see no limits. And they can make change happen. Peter Thiel, the co-founder of PayPal, has another, colder theory that may explain it: Ultimately, it’s about money.
In other words, it’ s the young people who have nothing to lose, with no mortgage and, frankly, with nothing to do on a Friday night except work, who are the ones often willing to take the biggest risks. Sure, they are talented. But it’ s their persistence and zeal, the desire to stay up until 6 a.m. chugging Red Bull, that is the difference between being a salaried employee and an entrepreneur.
That’ s not to say that most 20-somethings are finding success. They’re not. The latest crop of ueber-successful young entrepreneurs, designers and authors are far, far from the norm. In truth, unemployment for workers age 16 to 24 is double the national average.
One of the biggest challenges facing this next generation—and one that may prevent more visionary entrepreneurs from succeeding—is the staggering rise in the level of debt college students have been left with. If Peter Thiel’ s theory is right, it is going to be harder and harder for young people to take big risks because they will be crushed with obligations before they even begin.
If you’re over 29 years old and still haven’t made your world-changing mark, don’t despair. Some older people have had big breakthroughs, too. Thomas Edison didn’t invent the phonograph until he was 30.
The biggest challenge that may stop more visionary entrepreneurs from succeeding is that______.
选项
A、they are confronted with increasing obligations
B、their debts run up alarmingly and very unsteadily
C、they have more mortgage than other college students
D、they have far less wealth than their parents did at the same age
答案
A
解析
根据题干关键词定位到第六段。第六段首句中有插入语,插入语对应的是题干内容。首句指出“新一代面临的最大挑战之一——这可能也是妨碍更多有远见的企业家成功的原因——就是大学生们面对不断提高的负债”,故A项“他们面临不断增长的债务”符合题意,为正确答案。B项“他们的债务惊人地增长,并非常不稳定”通过very unsteadily和staggering意思相近形成干扰,不符合题意。C项“他们比大学生有更多的分期贷款”和D项“与父母在相同的年龄时相比,他们拥有更少的财产”均属于无中生有,故排除。
