FT总编辑巴贝尔专访比尔盖茨

Can you share some of the lessons of pain and failure from your early career?

你能分享下事业早期得到的一些痛苦和失败的教训吗?

My basic theory in my twenties is that IQ was fungible. I would hire a great physicists,biologists, someone who was smart, and I would assign them some task, and they wouldfigure out how to do because they have a high IQ.

20多岁时，我的基本理论是智商是可代替的。我可以聘请优秀的物理学家、生物学家和其他聪明人，我会给他们派一些任务，他们会想出完成任务的办法，因为他们的智商都很高。

I basically thought that I should never ask somebody to work for somebody who is not smarterthan them. We’ll just have this IQ hierarchy. Well that didn’t work for very long. By age 25, Irealised IQ comes in different forms. These guys who understand sales and management, thatseems to come negatively correlated with IQ. That was befuddling to me.

基本上，我过去认为永远不应该让人们给不如他们聪明的人工作。我们会有这种智商等级制度。不过，这种想法没能维持很长时间。25岁时，我发现智商有不同的表现形式。一些人懂得销售和管理，而这似乎跟智商是负相关的。这让我感到困惑。

Your foundation is called the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundations. If you hadn’t married Melinda,do you think this is the way your career would have developed?
