1
At Stanford, you kind of started your first thing.
2
It was a classified ad site, is that right?
3
Yeah.
4
As many people know, and I'm not sure how this has changed to date at Stanford and other schools,
5
but like no one has money and all you want to do is get a fridge for your room, right?
6
And I'm pretty certain that every single year someone starts this startup,
7
and I caught this trap too,
8
which is just like, how do you allow students to trade goods at the beginning and end of the year?
9
And there's this interesting mismatch between like the end of the year,
10
people want to get rid of the stuff in the beginning of the year,
11
everyone wants to buy stuff.
12
So I sat down and I decided to teach myself Ruby on Rails.
13
And I was like, this is going to be a really awesome skill.
14
So I learned that, learned about databases and learned enough to be dangerous.
15
And this is like one of the lessons in entrepreneurship is that like,
16
you don't have to be the best,
17
but you have to be dangerous, right?
18
You have to learn just enough to be dangerous to build an idea,
19
concept it, and show it to the world.
20
And then it turns out there are lots of other people,
21
including all 170 employees that work at Instagram,
22
who are much better at doing all that stuff than I am.
23
But you need to find people who can,
24
you know, be drawn to the idea that you build,
25
and then they end up taking it and making it even better.
26
So I worked on a classified ads startup at Stanford called The Tree List.
27
It was supposed to be like Craigslist,
28
but the tree is the same.
29
It was a really terrible name.
30
I'm not a marketing guy, by the way.
31
Thank you, everyone, for laughing.
32
So what's interesting, though, is I started it not at Stanford,
33
but actually while I was studying abroad in Florence.
34
So I love art history.
35
I love photography, obviously.
36
So I'd studied in Florence for three months.
37
And I remember we didn't have much to do after class because,
38
you know, it was the winter.
39
It was cold.
40
You know, I think the program had 12 students in it.
41
So you'd go home to your,
42
you know, host family and you'd eat an awesome Italian dinner.
43
And then you'd sit there without TV and you'd just say,
44
okay, what do I want to do?
45
So Wi-Fi really wasn't a thing in their building.
46
And I would have my laptop and I would literally just build this site at the time on my little,
47
it was an iBook.
48
And what I would do is actually to ship code,
49
I would go outside of the apartment building, down the street.
50
And like I remember specifically one day it was snowing.
51
It doesn't snow in Florence very often,
52
so that's why I remember it.
53
It was snowing, and I would go next to the public library and lean with my laptop until I got enough signal.
54
And I would like sync FTP to make the files go to the server,
55
and then I would send off all my emails promoting it to people back at Stanford.
56
So I was literally just trying to launch this thing from afar.
57
There's so much you could learn from even launching this thing that,
58
you know, a lot of people attempt,
59
but the actual action of getting it out there,
60
like that was probably the first,
61
you know, first step to a lot of the other things that you did later.
62
Yeah, I think what probably helped too was like the idea
63
that I wasn't on the ground listening to whether
64
or not people liked it gave me enough like ammunition and confidence to like keep working on it.
65
And then all I had was like,
66
are people using this or not?
67
Not like, what do they think about it?
68
And are they judging the idea?
69
But like, are they using it?
70
And that's really important because what people tell you and how people act are very,
71
very different sometimes.
72
So the lesson I learned was not very many people were using it.
73
So we ended up, like I ended up forming the idea more into a like less of a overall Craigslist
74
and more of it just a good transfer.
75
But again, the other lesson here is sometimes it's not about the idea that you're working on,
76
but instead the skills that you're learning while you work on it.
77
And that really helped me,
78
well, not only learn to program,
79
but also like learn to market a consumer site to people.
80
And I mean, colleges are probably the best form of marketing because everyone's interconnected and they talk all the time.
81
I had the privilege of going to a Marine base once and talking to Marines about how they plan their next move.
82
And there's this phrase called bias towards action that I really was taken to.
83
So the idea that you can spend all of your time thinking about what the perfect next move is,
84
trying to plan, am I gonna work at Google?
85
Am I gonna work at Microsoft?
86
Like which one?
87
Like, am I gonna work at McKinsey or Bain?
88
like trying to figure out all,
89
like the next perfect move,
90
and spending a tremendous amount of time trying to figure that out.
91
The Marines say you can spend all the time you want,
92
but by the time you figured it out, you're dead.
93
Okay?
94
So like sometimes you need to make a trade-off of what
95
is the action I can take with the appropriate amount of information and risk to move,
96
because moving and progress is what gets us to the next step.
97
So for me, I mean,
98
when I was in school trying to figure out what to do after college,
99
all of my friends were interviewing at investment banks and Bain and McKinsey,
100
and they were getting these offer letters with six figures.
101
And I was like, oh,
102
my God, six figures right out of college is crazy.
103
By the way, it is.
104
And it is.
105
For a guy that didn't take a salary for the first two years of founding Bourbon slash Instagram,
106
it was really harrying to think that people can have such a salary out of college,
107
and you're going to go like,
108
take not a great job, right?
109
That you're going to do something that's a little riskier.
110
It turns out, and I mean,
111
don't quote me on this,
112
because your parents will kill me,
113
like, it's all going to be fine, okay?
114
When I told my parents that I was going to go do a startup,
115
and I know we're all a bit older here,
116
but like, you know, when I told my parents I was going to do a startup,
117
they're like, what about health insurance?
118
And I was like, oh, that's a good point.
119
What about health insurance?
120
So thank you, parents, for making me think of that. So let's see here.
121
It was scary, but that bias towards action was like,
122
there's no perfect next move.
123
You just need to know that by moving and learning,
124
it all adds up.
125
That summation of your experience over the last 10 years is what makes you into the thing tomorrow that will be successful.
126
And it just takes trying and trying and trying again.
127
I mean, Instagram filters came from a photography class that I took in Florence,
128
where my photography teacher gave me a square format camera called a Holga.
129
It's this plastic camera that got kind of hip with hipsters.
130
And anyway, he handed it to me and he said,
131
you should use this.
132
And as we were developing the film,
133
he's like, you know, you can change the look of the image
134
if you put these chemicals in the bath when you're developing the print.
135
And I was like, interesting.
136
So, you know, you put it in,
137
like the colors start changing to this interesting purple.
138
And I started thinking to myself,
139
like, oh, my God, this is like awesome.
140
I'm going to do it on all my prints.
141
And every time I made a print,
142
every one of the people in that class were like,
143
the prints are so cool.
144
That idea laid dormant for like five years.
145
So every little experience you have,
146
you may not give credit to,
147
but it turns out is super important for,
148
you know, being foundational in your startup going forward.
149
And you'll end up kind of figuring out how it takes form in your startup going forward.
150
But each and every little experience adds up.
FOR YOU

背景與語境
在這段影片中，凱文·西斯特羅姆分享了他的創業經歷，尤其是在斯坦福大學期間建立一個分類廣告網站的過程。他的故事不光是關於技術的學習，也涉及了在生活中的挑戰與應對策略。很顯然，他在義大利的留學經歷為他提供了開發新想法的靈感，讓我們瞭解到語言學習中的創造性思維是多麼的重要。學習英語並不僅限於教室內，它可以在生活的每個角落中進行，甚至是在冬季的佛羅倫薩。對於希望通過觀看YouTube提升英語能力的學習者來說，這是一個很好的示範。
日常交流的五個常用短語
- How do you allow students to trade goods?（你如何讓學生進行物品交換？）
- It's going to be a really awesome skill.（這將是一個非常棒的技能。）
- You need to find people who can be drawn to the idea.（你需要找到能夠被這個想法吸引的人。）
- Learn just enough to be dangerous.（學會足夠的知識以便於發揮作用。）
- What do I want to do?（我想做什麼？）
這些短語在日常對話中可幫助提升語言表達能力，並且非常適合用於雅思口語練習，提高交流的流暢性。
逐步跟讀指南
為了更好地掌握這段對話並提高英語發音，以下是一個步驟指南：
- 初次觀看：觀看影片一遍，不要暫停。注意整體內容和語境。
- 語句拆分：選擇影片中的幾句話，逐句停下進行重複。可以從日常交流的五個短語中選擇。
- 模仿練習：使用shadowspeaks方法，通過跟讀角色的語調和節奏來鍛鍊發音。
- 反覆精聽：在聽的同時關閉字幕，只憑聽力來理解內容，嘗試在腦海中構建句子。
- 即時對話：嘗試用這些短語構建自己的對話，和朋友或語言學習夥伴進行交流，檢驗學習效果。
通過這樣的練習方式，學習者能夠在真實情境中不斷提高英語水平，體驗到日常溝通的樂趣。結合看YouTube學英語和shadow speak的方法，將有助於你在啟動或深入提高英語能力的過程中事半功倍。
什麼是跟讀法？
跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧，最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓，並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大：您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同，跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性，語調，節奏，連讀，聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
