今天完整看了Y Combinator的合伙人Paul Graham的完整采访稿，细细品位，感受颇深，源地址：http://techcrunch.com/2006/09/02/an-interview-with-vc-paul-graham-of-ycombinator/
We print it on T-Shirts: “Make something people want.” If you had to reduce the recipe for a successful startup to four words, those would probably be the four.
（如果要把创建一个成功的公司的秘诀缩减到四个字，那就是“Make something people want”（做人们需要的产品））
The easiest way to make something people want is to make something you want. What do you wish existed that doesn’t? For example, back in the early 90s a friend of mine wrote some software for converting voice to data so he could talk to his girlfriend in Taiwan without paying for long-distance phone calls. That would have been a great project to turn into a startup.
（如何做人们最需要的产品？最容易的办法就是做你需要的产品，什么东西你想要，但暂时没有？就做这个！）
Of course you have to have a business model eventually. But experience so far suggests that figuring out how to make money from something popular is a lot easier than making something popular.
（商业模式很重要，但经验告诉我们，从流行产品中挣钱，比创建一个流行产品要容易的多）
采访稿最后有人评论到：
How do you become a great artist? You paint what you believe in. If you are lucky, you are Picasso.
（如何成为一名画家？你用你的信仰作画，如果足够幸运，你会成为毕加索）
我们作为一个小微企业，从Instagram和Pinterest客户端开始，是一个很好的起步点；我们相信我们做的事情，如果足够幸运，我们会建立一家伟大的公司！
