"A toothpaste factory had a problem: they sometimes shipped empty boxes, without the tube inside. This was due to the way the production line was set up, and people with experience in designing production lines will tell you how difficult it is to have everything happen with timings so precise that every single unit coming out of it is perfect 100% of the time. Small variations in the environment (which can’t be controlled in a cost-effective fashion) mean you must have quality assurance checks smartly distributed across the line so that customers all the way down the supermarket don’t get pissed off and buy someone else’s product instead.
Understanding how important that was, the CEO of the toothpaste factory got the top people in the company together and they decided to start a new project, in which they would hire an external engineering company to solve their empty boxes problem, as their engineering department was already too stretched to take on any extra effort.
The project followed the usual process: budget and project sponsor allocated, RFP, third-parties selected, and six months (and $8 million) later they had a fantastic solution — on time, on budget, high quality and everyone in the project had a great time. They solved the problem by using some high-tech precision scales that would sound a bell and flash lights whenever a toothpaste box weighing less than it should. The line would stop, and someone had to walk over and yank the defective box out of it, pressing another button when done.
A while later, the CEO decides to have a look at the ROI of the project: amazing results! No empty boxes ever shipped out of the factory after the scales were put in place. Very few customer complaints, and they were gaining market share. “That’s some money well spent!” – he says, before looking closely at the other statistics in the report.
It turns out, the number of defects picked up by the scales was 0 after three weeks of production use. It should’ve been picking up at least a dozen a day, so maybe there was something wrong with the report. He filed a bug against it, and after some investigation, the engineers come back saying the report was actually correct. The scales really weren'’t picking up any defects, because all boxes that got to that point in the conveyor belt were good.
Puzzled, the CEO travels down to the factory, and walks up to the part of the line where the precision scales were installed. A few feet before it, there was a $20 desk fan, blowing the empty boxes out of the belt and into a bin. “Oh, that — one of the guys put it there ’cause he was tired of walking over every time the bell rang”, says one of the workers."
又过了一年，写个总结吧。 这一年来99%的时间都花在创业上了, 所以想到的，学到的都是关于创业的:
1) 每天
大家都说创业很难。但那些"难"的事情很多是我们控制不了的。最难的是控制自己，让自己每天专心做事。人们都喜欢谈大事件，什么"某某最重要的5个决定，某某没有把握好大市场机会"等。但回头看，大事件只是每天我们所作的累积结果。
2) 错误
我们每天都在犯错误。有的人喜欢扯什么”超强执行力，把握准所有集会才能成功“, 但实际上我们每天都在数据不足的情况下做决定，经验不足的情况下做事情。所以要求大家不犯错误，还不如给大家犯错误的机会，学习的机会。
3) 长跑
发布第一版产品，融到第一笔钱，找到第一批种子用户，这些都是好的里程碑。但都只是个开始。之后的路是很长的。就连那些融资千万美金的明星创业者，拿到钱后第二天还是要回去拼命做事。
4) 动力
我不是工作狂，平常也很懒。但我发现成天到晚工作并不难。养成习惯后就不用想太多了。并且，一路上会碰到很多让你不爽的事和拒绝你，否认你的人，所以动力只会越来越多。
5) 学习
一个好的创业者需要做很多不同的事情。编程，产品，推广，管理是主要的，但其外还有很多事情要琢磨。要精通这些东西要成千上万个小时。所以我们必须让自己变的更好。今年虽然很多事情都做的糊里糊涂的，但到头来想想还是学了不少东西。
6) 公平
不管选哪个领域，竞争对手都比你做得早，有更多用户，更多钱，更多关系。事实就是不公平，所以要做好心理准备，别想太多就好了。
7) 旅游
偶尔休息一下，出去走走是很重要的。最近去了一趟泰国，什么都没做。关掉手机电脑在沙滩上发呆。发现埋头做事一段事件后，发发呆是很有效的，可以想到很多平常想不到的事情。
8) PR
PR，包括写博客和微博，是一把双刃剑。PR很有必要，但也很消耗事件，要把握好平衡。
9) 时间
时间是早期创业的唯一资源（钱只是拿来延长时间用的）。这是个用时间换取"traction"(动力)的游戏。2011年一眨眼就过去了，之后要更加珍惜时间。
10) 赢
创业成本越来越底，早期投资和生态环境也不停的在进步。但有机会做自己想做的事情仍然不易。有很多东西还是碰运气的。找到志同道合的创业伙伴，彼此信任的团队，和能够帮你，引导你，鼓励你的朋友圈子都不容易。就连自己的专业和背景也都是隐藏的运气。当时学编程什么的也都只是为了好玩，从来没有想这会是互联网时代的一张入场卷。
有人会说“创业太难了，成为真正赢家的机率寥寥无几“。但回头看看这一年，发现竟然有机会参与这么好玩的一个游戏，其实我已经赢了。
Starting a startup is like being naked, and having to go outside. When you finally work up the courage and go outside, people are like "WTF?" and look at you like you're crazy, but they do see that you have some balls. If you keep walking (and maybe even do some jumping jacks), then eventually people will notice your face, but until then, you've got nothing but your balls.
计划FM:
我承认很多人都不会用书签，所有错过了很多好的产品，例如delicio.us、instapaper和tumblr。那么我今天就教教你怎么用书签吧，哈哈
首先什么是书签？不同浏览器的书签位置不同，举几个例子：
- chrome
在地址栏下方。这时候你抬头看，发现你的地址栏下面什么都没有？那是因为被藏在设置里面啦！你要做的是把它找出来！
- Firefox、Safari等非IE浏览器
书签栏都在地址栏下方，如果你没有看到就把他们找出来；
- IE
终于到IE了。。它的书签栏在地址栏下面隔一行，它叫作“收藏夹栏”。
