Bill Gates was 20 years old. Steve Jobs was 21. Warren Buffett 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 liber-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.
With regard to 20-somethings’ success, we can learn from the text that______.
选项
A、they succeed because of having money
B、older people can hardly make breakthroughs
C、it is uncommon among most young people
D、it is common in the field of information science and technology
答案
C
解析
推断题。根据题干关键词需纵观全文。第五段首句提到“并不是大多数20多岁的 人们都获得了成功”,C项“在大多数年轻人中,这并不是普遍现象”与此句一致,故C项 为正确答案。第四段指出,因为年轻人一无所有才愿冒最大风险,故A项“他们成功因为 有钱”错误。第七段第二句说明“有些岁数大的人仍能取得突破”,故B项“岁数大的人很 难突破”与该句意思不符。D项“在信息科学和技术领域很普遍”属于过度推断,故排除。
