Bill Gates was 20 years old. Steve Jobs was 21. Warren Buffett was 26. Ralph Lauren was 28.
These now iconic(偶像的)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. Consid er this: many of the truly remarkable innovations of the latest generation—a list that includes Google, Facebook and Twitter—were all founded by people under 30.
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(激情), 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 U ber-suc cessful 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(留声机)until he was 30.
All of the following are differences between being salaried employees and entrepreneurs EXCEPT ______.
选项
A、their zeal
B、their talent
C、their persistence
D、their desire to stay up
答案
B
解析
细节题。短文第四段指出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.即他们的坚持和激情,靠猛灌红牛熬通宵干到早上6点的意愿,才是领薪水的雇员和企业家之间的差别。选项B“他们的天分”并非他们的区别,故选项B正确。
