LinkedIn CEO经验谈：改变职业生涯的三条建议

In August, 1994, I signed up for an Aol account. I'll never forget my first "a-ha!" moment online which occurred soon thereafter. It came through witnessing the power of collective intelligence on a Motley Fool message board. There, a community of engineers, logistics experts, and individual investors from all over the country had joined together to reverse engineer the cost basis to manufacture what would eventually emerge as a hit computer peripheral product. I remember thinking to myself, "This is going to change everything."

1994年8月，我注册了一个Aol（美国境内提供线上加值网络服务的公司）账户，我永远都不会忘记不久之后互联网给我的第一个惊喜，那是我在“彩衣傻瓜”网站（美国著名的投资理财网站）的留言板上见证了集体智慧的力量。在这里，来自全国各地的工程师、物流专家和独立投资人集合到一起，从设计成本基础发展成为讨论制造出一些最终会风行一时的电脑周边产品。我记得我对自己说：“这将改变一切。”

About a month later, I was reading "Being Digital" by Nicolas Negroponte after seeing a rave review in Wired Magazine. In the opening chapter of his book, Negroponte posited that by virtue of the ensuing digital revolution, everything that could be converted from an atom to a bit would be. Having just started as an analyst in the Corporate Development group at Warner Bros, it didn't take much to realize this coming transition would have material implications on the studio and the entertainment industry in general.
