今天談到Tesla Motors的成立及發(fā)展歷程。
不管是Straubel，還是Eberhard 和Tarpenning,我覺得在他們身上有一股力量，那就是執(zhí)著，有一種“眾人皆醉我獨醒”的感覺，即使多次被否定和嘲笑，即使沒有人認可和支持，即使困難重重。管他呢，走下去再說，我們很多時候會被動的被身邊的人、事或環(huán)境感染，特備是當自己打算去做一個決定的時候，如果身邊的人說“你不要去冒這個險”，“這不值得”，“你做不到的”，“你就別想這個了，換條路吧，我了解你...”等等諸如此類的話時，我們幾乎每個人都會開始還懷疑自己，心想：“也許我真的不行”或是“他們說的有道理，旁觀者清”。當然旁人多是好心，也許有時候這樣是對的，可是，有時候確實需要堅定信念，不被任何人或事影響或阻撓，而事實證明，凡是大有成就的人，曾經(jīng)都遭受過幾乎所有人的否定，他們正式堅持了自己想要的，才有了今天的成就。
