Prática de Shadowing: How to Create a Company | Elon Musk's 5 Rules - Aprenda a falar inglês com vídeo
Criando lição...
1
I think the first is, depending on how well you want to do, and particularly if you're starting a company, you need to work super hard.
2
So what does super hard mean?
3
Well, when my brother and I were starting our first company, instead of getting an apartment, we just rented a small office and we slept on the couch,
4
and we showered at the YMCA, and we had just one computer so the the website was up during the day
5
and I was coding at night the seven days a week all the time
6
work hard like every waking hour that's that's the thing I would I would say if particularly if you're starting a company.
7
And, I mean, if you do simple math, say, like, okay, if somebody else is working 50 hours and you're working 100, you'll get twice as much done in the course of a year as the other company.
8
I think, too, is you've got to make sure that whatever you're doing is a great product or service.
9
It has to be really great
10
and i go back to what i was saying earlier where
11
if you're a new company i mean unless it's like some new industry
12
or new market that
13
if it's an untapped market then you have more ability to the standard is lower for your product service
14
but if you're entering anything where there's an existing marketplace against large entrenched competitors then your product
15
or service needs to be much better than theirs it can't be a little bit better
16
because then you put yourself in the shoes of the consumer
17
and they say why would you buy it as a consumer
18
you're always going to buy the trusted brand unless there's a big difference
19
so a lot of times entrepreneur will come up with something which is only slightly better
20
and it's it's not you can't just be slightly better it's got to be a lot
21
better the other thing i'd say is that if you're creating a company or if you're joining a company
22
the most important thing is to is to attract great people
23
so either join a group that's amazing that you really respect
24
or if you if you're building a company you've got to gather great people.
25
I mean, all a company is is a group of people that have gathered together to create a product or service.
26
And so depending upon how talented and hardworking that group is
27
and the degree to which they are focused cohesively in a good direction, that will determine the success of the company.
28
So do everything you can to gather great people if you're creating a company.
29
Then, I'd say focus on signal over noise.
30
A lot of companies get confused.
31
They spend money on things that don't actually make the product better.
32
So, for example, at Tesla, we've never spent any money on advertising.
33
We've put all of the money into R &D and manufacturing
34
and design to try to make the car as good as possible.
35
And I think that's the way to go.
36
So for any given company, just keep thinking about, are these efforts that people are expending, are they resulting in a better product or service?
37
And if they're not, stop those efforts.
38
And then I think the final thing I would encourage you to do is, now is the time to take risk.
39
You don't have kids, but as you get older, your obligations increase.
40
And once you have a family, you start taking risks not just for yourself, but for your family as well.
41
It gets much harder to do things that might not work out.
42
So now is the time to do that before you have those obligations.
43
So I would encourage you to take risks now, do something bold.
44
You won't regret it.
45
Thank you.

O que é a Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing é uma técnica de aprendizado de idiomas com base científica, originalmente desenvolvida para o treinamento de intérpretes profissionais. O método é simples, mas poderoso: você ouve áudio em inglês nativo e repete imediatamente em voz alta — como uma sombra seguindo o falante com 1-2 segundos de atraso. Pesquisas mostram melhora significativa na precisão da pronúncia, entonação, ritmo, sons conectados, compreensão auditiva e fluência na fala.
