每日金句|Seven questions that every business must answer
Tuesday
原著金句
Doing something different is what’s truly good for society—and it’s also what allows a business to profit by monopolizing a new market. The best projects are likely to be overlooked, not trumpeted by a crowd; the best problems to work on are often the ones nobody else even tries to solve.
Translation
做些与众不同的事情才是真正有益于社会,也是企业通过垄断新市场赢利的方式。最好的项目可能是人们忽视的项目,或没有大肆宣扬的项目;最好的问题是无人尝试解决的问题。
