Challenges 篇1
The tempo of modern civilization has been much quickened in the last twenty years. While witnessing the dramatic changes in the better-off society, people begin to reconsider the question of "survival". "Survival" in the old sense does not bother us anymore. Instead, we are more concerned about how to "survive" in the human world full of competition.
Competition always carries abreast challenges and opportunities to everyone involved. It might appear in an entrance exam, in a regular class, or in a small public speech. Those who fail to detect its real nature-whether an opportunity or a challenge a competition really is- will lose something more or less conducive to our growth. Of course, if we take the competition as an opportunity, we will favor it intentionally because they can help us outstand from the average; they will make us become the focus of public attention; they will grant us more chances and rights to succeed.
As a matter of fact, opportunities are supposed to be more perceptible and welcoming than challenges. The truth is, however, we will lose more opportunities when we choose to take the "opportunity" fork at the crossroads. The other fork, ignored by us and defined as "fearful challenges", offers much more chances for the walker in competition.

The two things that you focus on are maintaining what you have now, thats good and growing, all right? What we have now is a pretty good utility. And then, going back to the first question that you ask me, whats the thing that I measure the most? Its that 70% of the people come back to the site everyday and making sure that that remains, not just because were doing some gimmicky things.
有两件事你需要关注，一是保持你现有的，二是发展，对吧，我们现有的就是很好的实用功能，回到你第一个问题，我最看重的衡量指标是什么?就是有70%的人每天都来登录，并且要保持这一水平，不靠噱头和花招。
But I mean, if you launch a feature, obviously retention is going to go up. All right, so i mean, retention has been up recently because of the photos. But focusing on things that are sustainable and scalable, so that when we launch more schools or go into the next market or whatever we do, were going to set ourselves up to have the same success that weve had without hurting our self in the current position. Mark is incredibly good at keeping the bar very high on new hires. When youre quadrupling in size in terms of people, theres always a tendency.
不过，如果你推广一个新的功能，回访率就会明显上升。所以，自从相册上线之后，回访率就升高了，要关注那些可持续发展的，规模容易扩大的`事物，所以当我们 向新的学校扩展，就是进入新的市场时，我们的目标是获得跟以前一样的成功，而且不破坏现有的水平。Mark在招聘新员工时，从来不会降低标准，当你需要将 员工规模翻4番时，大多数人总会降低标准。
You see it again and again and I know Tom Byers and many of you in the audience always talk about quality of people and maintaining the bar. But in practice, its really easy to say this person doesnt match up in there, but does match up along so many dimensions. It would take six months to find the right person. And Mark has been extraordinary, as a leader in maintaining a very high bar and at time walking away from people who are receiving outstanding recommendations, but either dont fit from a cultural stand point, or theyre not going to scale and theyd the wrong person a year or two from now.
我知道Tom Byers(斯坦福教授)还有在座的很多听众，经常讨论人员素质以及保持很高的门槛。可在实践中，人们很容易找到这样的借口说“这个人在某一方面不合适， 可在其他那么多方面都合适，要找到一个适合的人得花上6个月啊。”而Mark作为一个领导者，在坚持标准不放松这点上做的非常出色。他经常会放弃一些得到 强有力推荐的应聘者，要么因为他们在文化方面不契合，或者是因为，如果公司没打算扩张，那他们就会在一到两年内成为一个错误选择。
And that is certainly, as an investor and board member an ongoing challenge. How do you deal with that trade-off where you absolutely need an ad sales force, but at the same time, its one person at a time. You just cant say lets go out and hire five good engineers or five good ad sales people and not have them be great. Because the B+ or A- people, you know it, theyll hire Bs and B minuses. And this is a time in the company where you just have to aspire with each hire to get an A or A+ person. And its easier said than done. I think that is one of the fundamental ongoing challenges.
对一个投资者兼董事会成员来说，这是个持续性的挑战。你要怎么样取舍，你急需一批销售人员，可是同时你只能碰到一个合适的要一个，你不能在找不到出色的人选时，就去聘上5个差不多的工程师，5个差不多的广告销售，本来想要B+或是A-的人，可结果却招来的是B或B-的人。在这个时代，公司应该有招进来的每一个人都是一个A或者A+的人才，不过，说来容易做来难。这也是一个根本又持久的挑战。

good morning, ladies and gentlemen. at present, my fellow students and i have before us great personal and educational opportunities. at the same time, we are running into a variety of challenges.
todays college education provides us with opportunities for bringing out the creativity and talent that we have within us. this is nurtured both by our learned professors, and by the growing dimension of knowledge sources, such as the world wide web and multimedia sources. our educational experience is being transformed both within and beyond the traditional classroom. however, challenges still exist.
at the end of every semester, students in my university are required to fill out a questionnaire as a review of the previous semester. the questions usually cover a broad range of college life, from curriculum adjustment to canteen service. and almost every time, the questionnaire includes one essential question, that is: as a college student, what are your major challenges? and almost every answer includes two aspects: studying and professional. these two challenges will remain our preoccupations as long as we live in such a competitive world.
a series of challenges in our studies start from almost the beginning of our freshman year. we may wonder whether weve chosen the right major. we may wonder if the extracurricular activities add credits to our studies. we may work our heads off to get a glorious a, because b is already mediocre and c is almost unacceptable. later on we may be competing with our hardworking, intelligent peers, including our best friends to get into an ideal graduate school. all of these sound so familiar and they have somehow made our college education so goal-obsessed that we sometimes fail to fully enjoy our educational experience.
apart from challenges in learning, there are also professional challenges. the competitive world today has also brought about the “knowledge economy,” which requires the effective use of knowledge for economic and social development, and also requires skilled and multi-oriented students with a marketable vocational sense. therefore, sophisticated calculations upon the value of a university degree are being made. graduate employability statistics are being scrutinized. programs like resume writing and interview skills are seen as a must. again as ive said above, when professional concern dominates our college education, we may lose the essence of our educational experience.

Challenge yourself !
As we all know, life is full of challenges. Challenge to get into a good school, good college, good job, good position, everything. Some of them are long term, and are generally resolved as time passes. Some of them are short term, and need immediate attention, for example, to finish a very important assignment at school, or to get a job after graduation. Short term challenges create a sense of tension in us, and when they are achieved, we feel happy. They also keep us busy and minds occupied until they are resolved.
However, what happens when there are no challenges? There is no tension, the mind gets free. Then we start thinking about doing new things we like in this free time. We go on vacation, eat good food, watch favorite movies, go partying with friends. However, there is still a sense of boredom. When you tell this to other people who are fighting with problems, they laugh on you. There are no problems in our life, which starts becoming a problem. There is nothing to look forward to, no big mountain to climb. Life becomes predictable. We cannot figure out how to get the zing back in life (and creating problems is not the answer).
One solution is to create challenges for yourself, doing things that you always thought to be difficult or impossible to do. For example, playing a musical instrument, writing a poem, training for marathon, learning a new sport, or simply watching all the movies involving Woody Allen. These things may not be real challenges, but they surely brings hapiness back to the life when they are achieved. So whenever you think you are bored, take up something you have never done.
