“But while I have noticed many patterns, and I relate them here, this book offers no formula for success. The paradox of teaching entrepreneurship is that such a formula necessarily cannot exist; because every innovation is new and unique, no authority can prescribe in concrete terms how to be innovative. Indeed, the single most powerful pattern I have noticed is that successful people find value in unexpected places, and they do this by thinking about business from first principles instead of formulas.”

Excerpt From
Zero to One: Notes on Startups, or How to Build the Future
Peter Thiel

Chinese translation:

“但是,虽然我注意到了许多模式,并且在这里将它们联系起来,但这本书并没有提供成功的公式。 教企业家精神的悖论是这样的公式不一定存在; 因为每一项创新都是新的和独特的,没有权威可以具体规定如何创新。 事实上,我注意到的一个最强大的模式是成功的人在意想不到的地方发现价值,他们通过从第一原则而不是公式来思考商业来做到这一点。”
