3.Someone recently asked me when I became more confident about my abilities as an entrepreneur(企业家).I thought it was a funny question (41)CI'm not very confident at all,and constantly filled with (42)Babout every decision I make.It doesn't exactly hold me back in my work,it's just that I am very (43)Aof what I do,and I'm always (44)Don the way I work,think and talk.I have also learned over the years that making a decision is often more important than making the(45)Adecision.Preferably your decisions are the right ones,but inaction or indecisiveness is more (46)Bthan making the wrong decisions every now and then.
There is one thing I have learned over the years that I wish I had learned earlier in my career.And that is the (47)Cthat I am not stupid.
It sounds logical,but I often sat in on meetings and heard people explain things and then(48)Ato myself,"I don't understand that.Maybe I'm stupid?"or I would hear about a startup(初创公司) and I wouldn't (49)D their business model and think I'm stupid.Or I would hear an entrepreneur speak and think,"That all like(50)Bbullshit,but I must be stupid,because other people seem to love it."
A couple of years ago,I came to the (51)B that I was not stupid at all.When people in meetings say things I don't'understand I (52)Aup and tell them so.Usually,I hear a sigh of (53)Cin the room and find out nobody understood what was being talked about.
When I don't understand a business model it usually means there is not one,or it (54)D.Turns out I'm not stupid and (55)BI don't understand it,most people won't understand it at all. (56)Adoubting my own abilities I've learned to (57)Cmy"bullshit radar"a bit more and not understanding something is a clear sign that something is (58)D.
My advice to young entrepreneurs is this:you are not stupid!If something does not make(59)D,if it sounds stupid,if you don't understand it,something is wrong!Trust your gut(本能的)(60)A.Feel free not to know and be honest when you don't understand something!
