On my way….

Bye Chicago, bye States,
typing it when on plane leaving this beloved land.

五年以来,第一次离开这片土地这片蓝天的时候心情会这么复杂
看了湛蓝的Michigan Lake,看了落日,看了星空,看遍了这里的花花草草
人总是贱的,在美国的时候想中国,在中国的时候想美国
还记得五年前自己一个人漂洋过海的时候,满是希望
而现在,面前有一万条路,只剩惆怅

人人都说,这片土地上,总能找到自己的价值和位置
辗转4年,却仍无法找到内心的那片海,那片天
心中满是疑问和纠结,不知道该何去何从
这样子,已经很久了,仿佛是老了
不敢走一步,生怕踏错

终于,鼓起勇气,踏出了第一步
心虚,不安,诚惶诚恐
想想数十年前,李彦宏也是这么举家回国创办百度的
只不过,他比我多的,是手上那200万美金的支票,和一身过硬的技术
而我,多的是时间,是激情,是希望

世界走的这么急,没时间在去想了
毕竟我已经花了一年去准备了
所以,赶快跑起来吧!
自己选的路,跪着也走完,加油!

Thoughts from Sam Altman at Startup Grind

我一直都不是一个能特别focus的人,比如看着WSJ然后看到一个乐队的采访就去Youtube把人家的歌搜来听,然后听完了呢突然想起来之前貌似还有个YC的视频没有看,就屁颠儿屁颠儿跑去看了。看完觉得视频短短,却一贯是Sam的风格啊,简明扼要呢。视频地址如下:

然后听完30多分钟的视频,我总结下来一下几个比较重要的点:

  1. Phase of thinking takes a while, one you go, you decide to build something, you need to go as fast as possible. 这是Sam一开始强调了很多遍的,就是一定要想清楚再去做,而不是先去Raise Money但没想清楚要做什么。想清楚是first step of everything,这或许会很长时间,但是这是一定非常中要的一步,也是所有成功的关键。

  2. The best founders execute quickly. Mediocre founders always have excuses why they couldn’t move faster.这一点说的实在是太好了!No Excuses, Just Move Fucking Forward AFAP!

  3. People in Silicon Valley are willing to wait long time to do it. 这一点是在说SV和其他任何地方的不同。Sam说一般SV的人更有耐心,更愿意去等待所谓的成功的到来,5年,10年的等。我一直觉得一个好的founder一定是要耐心的人,耐心开发市场,耐心等待Customer去养成习惯。

  4. People if they don’t raise money, they don’t think they are real startups. 这一点是Sam在说那些founders的通病,然后他说其实你的idea一开始可能就是一个super simple idea,你完全可以不用raise money先把它做起来再说啊。他举了两个非常好的例子,一个是Facebook,Mark一开始就觉得只是个Harvard Profile Website,结果现在这么吊。还有就是今年非常非常非常火的Airbnb,一开始卖麦片的故事大家都应该已经读过了我就不乱说了。

  5. 这一点是第二点的补充吧,有人在最后的Q&A的时候问Sam说他对founders的要求就是weekly grow,结果Sam说我记得我说的是Hourly,他grow rate是10% at least,你们感受下所谓的move fast。突然特别想好好做做Stoooges了!

那些从AKB下海的姑娘们

之前有人戏言AKB就是日本AV产业的预备军,那些在AKB混的不好又没什么特长的姑娘们就只能默默的下海了。我还记得之前在在第四次红白的时候,天气姐和作为打工AKB重返舞台的佐伯美香,真是一阵唏嘘啊……打工AKB就意味着替补替补的替补啊,出了AKB估计也不知能干什么了,就只能在打工AKB苟延残喘了。

其实这些年,出走AKB下海拍片的着实不少,已经有四位至多,这些还是AKB那些排上名儿的,那些打工AKB啊其他的出走下海就更不得而知了。追溯到第一位AKB下海的,那便是化名山口理子的中西里菜(这姑娘还很牛逼的拉来她妹妹跟她一起来演,走姐妹绿线,你感受下),之后还有还没出道就沸沸扬扬的橘梨纱,还有那个被大家口水淹死的逢坂はるな以及我最近整理收藏才发现缺了的这个刚出道的米澤瑠美。

他们每一个人的每一部片子我都看过,各有特点吧,我依次慢慢说好了。我从最新出道的和最火的两个人开始说啦!

 

米澤瑠美(城田理加)

 

其实这姑娘还蛮惨的哎。一不小心违反了恋爱禁令就被强制退团了,感觉跟中国双开差不多啊。一切的源头都是因为这一张图:

i1858090

 

夜里和男性友人在一起,就这一张图,下面两个可爱的妹子都被踢出团。

untitled

想在09年总选举的时候,这姑娘可是排22名的啊!去年总选举的第一,今年第二的人们口中的废柴“指皇”,可是当年只有29的排名啊,你们感受下。结果一个恋爱禁令就只能和AKB挥手相望了。不过如果你是大岛优子啊,估计就掩盖下去了,即使是峯岸南,也可以剃个头就结束了对不对,哎……

退团了之后小姑娘当然没辙,为了生计,一点点的脱,先是拍拍大尺度写着啊,然后脱着脱着就。。。节奏不对了,就成了下面这个!

20141031-9

顺带一提,番号是TEK-061,厂商就是当年打造了被口水喷死的逢坂はるな的MUTEKI!这家公司也是屌啊,著名AKB下海一半儿都是它搞的。然后现在这姑娘要被卖到SOD里面去了,估计之后会有更大解禁的片子。整个片子一共有5段sex,然后再片子里其实没有什么特别多的出演,完全没有一开始传的好看啊!!!当然,有很多人都说这里面是打假炮,我看了觉得还挺真实的。。。不过口口肯定是真的嗯。总体来说还是不错的,姑娘也挺敬业的,作为一个新人这样我已经觉得很满意了啊。挑逗大家的一张截图:

QQ截图20150306014826

不过姑娘身材就非常一般了,胸部大,屁股也不是很翘,当然还有小肚子我就不吐槽了。不过叫声还行,表演的比之前那个逢坂はるな可不知道强到哪儿去了呢,希望姑娘可以在之前两位前辈相继从良了之后,可以一人撑起在AV届AKB的大门!

 

高松惠理(橘梨紗)

 

说到AV届AKB,怎么能不提赫赫有名的橘梨纱呢!!!这姑娘可算是这四个姑娘里面颜值最高的了,而且也算是除了最早下海的中西之外被开发最多的了,光是引退作就分了上下两篇发行,片长可是长达4个小时之多,我也是很震惊啊!这位可是继中西姑娘之后一下在AV届走红了。当我第一次看到这么高颜值的时候,我也震惊了,不信你们看!

81MlgkkOXOL._AA1500_

一上来就高能啊,邻家女孩+富家女的感觉,娇滴滴的样子简直直接让所有宅男裤子松了啊!而且还是SOD Star也是碉堡了,在她之后的两个AKB妹子也是通过MUTEKI发了处女作之后就移籍到SOD Star了,足以见SOD这方面的实力啊。不过SOD貌似在初期包装上面还是没有MUTEKI给力,至少MUTEKI能把他们骗下海,这一点你们一下就输了呢。不过当我看了番号409的debut的时候,有种看泷泽萝拉的感觉,就是感觉之前的声势很大可是之后就也还好。整部其实橘梨纱同学根本没怎么放开的感觉,就是各种羞涩,毕竟不是中西同学嘛。

不过到了第六部,番号为467的高达4个小时的引退作的时候,真实被SOD要榨干了,各种玩,完全不放过女神的状态啊。整个AV生涯也不过只有短短6部片子加起来700多个小时,可以收藏一下,而且绝对值得。这个颜值真的在AV界里面算我很爱很爱的了,当然还有最近新发现Prestige和某些素人真的是赞。

再来一张图!

然后我们来说其实最后两个,最后两个我其实不是很喜欢哎,不过也不错,可以看看长长见识也不错。

 

山口里子(中西里菜)

 

这姑娘其实挺惨的,传的也挺邪乎的,有的说是父母欠下巨额外债,没办法只能去做AV女优,她一个人做还不够,还拉上了妹妹一起,直接来了个姐妹花AV大闯荡也是醉了。还有的说,这姑娘的做了Yakuza然后被迫入AV界,反正不管怎么样,中西姐妹是在这里了。

pJiYpKCZkZ6Wqg

其实这么看颜值还不错是不是。。。可是片子里或许你就不会这么觉得了呢!

QQ截图20150307024719

 

反正你们感受一下。我是觉得还行啦,没有橘梨纱好看但是也不难看。不过,凭借着第一个AKB下海的光环,还是席卷了11年到12年的市场的,也不可谓是不厉害啊,毕竟人家这么拼姐妹花一起上。然后突然,2012年这两位纷纷隐退了,然后就突然销声匿迹了。之后再13年,突然就在blog写了长文,说自己以及结婚了,还晒了婚戒!

pJiYpJ6WkZ6Vrg

当然,你以为故事到这里就完了么?那你就真的天真了呢!据说,这姑娘要出道拍孕妇了,再一次是黑道逼的,也不知道是不是真的,我们坐等一下好了!

 

成瀬理沙(逢坂はるな)

 

其实我还挺不想说这姑娘的,因为debut实在是太没有诚意了,一点也不像AV女优完全没有敬业精神啊。。。真是一生黑的一个人,而且长得也不怎么好看……我就不多说了。算了,还是放张图吧,你们自己感受!

Img388105840

 

其实,AKB下海的远不止这几个,研究生里面,还有各种其他AKB里面一定还有不少姑娘都或多或少混足AV了,我们也就看看就好,毕竟活着本来就不太容易呢不是么?

 

 

Tipping Point读书笔记

之前本来都写完了,结果在发布的时候却不知道为什么什么都没有了,真是sigh啊……

我这个人总是这样,喜新厌旧,The Hard Thing About Hard Thing刚写了一半,然后就跑来先把The Tipping Point的写了。

Anyways, 以下是笔记。由于这次读的是纸质书,所以每一个都有相应的页码和章节,具体请参照美国版的The Tipping Point即可。

  1. The success of any kind of social epidemic is heavily dependent on the involvement of people with a particular and rare set of social gifts. (P. 33, Ch. 2) 这个感觉就很想人以类聚,物以群分,一个好的产品应该是有一个非常明确的受众群,一个非常明确的圈子。

  2. Six degree of separation doesn’t mean that everyone is linked to everyone else in just six steps. It means that a very small number of people are linked to everyone else in a few steps, and the rest of us are linked to the world through those special few. (P. 36-37, Ch 2) 这里后面作者很细致的讲了三种不同的人的分类,通过这三种人来让产品达到tipping point。这里非常像一个互联网节点,也非常想美国的航空公司的航线的感觉,总是有那么几个大城市作为central cities然后所有的航线都到这个大城市,然后再分别到下一个二级,三级城市去。

  3. When it comes to finding out about new jobs, – or for that matter, new information, or new ideas – “weak ties” are always more important than strong ties. Your friend, after all, occupy the same world that you do. (P. 54, Ch. 2.4) 记得曾经听到的一个就是,一般帮你解决问题的都是不太熟的朋友,或者就是这个道理吧。

  4. Motor mimicry: we imitate each other’s emotions as a way of expressing support and caring and, even more basically, as a way of communicating with each other. (P. 84, Ch 2.11) 感觉是会通过这种细小的模仿机制传染的。

  5. Reaching the consumer with the message is not the hard part of direct marketing. What’s difficult is getting consumer to stop, read the advertisement, remember it and the act on it. (P. 93, Ch 3.1) 记得之前看过广告大师David Ogilvy那本《广告人的自白》就在讲如何用广告去抓住客户。

  6. Two seemingly counterintuitive aspects of persuasion: 1. In some UNCONSCIOUS way, like Peter Jennings on ABC example; 2. CHARISMATIC PEOPLE – infect others with emotion. The implications of those two go to the heart of the Law of the Few, because they suggest that what we think of as inner state – preference and emotions – are actually powerfully and imperceptibly influenced by seemingly inconsequential personal influences. (P. 151 – 152, Ch. 4.4) 这里算是一个承上启下的部分,对于之前讲的一个知识点的总结。

  7. There are certain times and places and conditions when much of that can be swept away, that there are instances where you can take normal people from good schools and happy families and good neighborhoods and powerfully affect their behavior merely by changing the immediate details of their situations. (P. 155, Ch. 4.4) 强调了环境对一个人的影响,以至于Situations是作为context效应非常重要的一环。

  8. All of us, when it comes to personality naturally think in terms of absolutes: that a person is a certain way or is not a certain way. (P. 158, Ch 4.4) 二分法的错误,然后作者接着指出:The mistake we make in thinking of character as something unified and all-compassing is very similar to a kind of blind spot in the way we process information. Psychologists call this tendency the Fundamental Attribution Error (FAE), which is a fancy way of saying that when it comes to interpreting other people’s behavior, human beings invariably make the mistake of overestimating the importance of fundamental character traits and underestimating the importance of the situation and context. (P. 160, Ch 4.4)。作者在这里用了心理学的专业名词来解释了人们对于behavior context的忽视。

  9. When people are asked to consider evidence or make decisions in a group, they come to very different conclusions than when they are asked the same questions by themselves. (P.171, Ch 5.1) 作者这里用了从众效应来细化了为什么Context很重要,会影响人做决策和考虑问题。

  10. Channel capacity: the amount of space in our brain for certain kinds of information. (P. 175, Ch 5.2) 然后作者在后面细化了说social channel capacity,通过对于各种动物的观察,来引出了一个叫做Rule of 150, 具体是在讲the size of a group is another one of those subtle contextual factors that can make big differences. (P. 182, Ch 5.3) 在小团体里面,一般power of context更能发挥作用,这个size设定在了150, 这个数字是根据很多实验的出来的,作者在这一章节进行了非常详细的解释。

  11. When people know each other well, they create an implicit joint memory system – a trans-active memory system – which is based on an understanding about who is best suited to remember what kinds of things. (P. 188, Ch 5.3) 这里作者再一次细化了一个关于the power of context的原因,然后作者在最后用例子总结到:That’s the advantage of adhering to the Rule of 150: you can exploit the bonds of memory and peer pressure. (P. 191, Ch 5.3)

后面作者举了2个Case Studies具体用事例讲了Tipping Points,然后总的总结了前面的要点,我就不赘述了。

 

Best Personal Website Ever

Gates大帝真是碉堡了。Viral Video也就罢了。。。然后。。。这个个人网站真是太赞

链接如下:http://www.gatesnotes.com/globalpages/bio

我来加一下Viral Video

醉了醉了……

丧心病狂的可穿戴世界啊……

自从google glass出了一个什么关于sex的视频之后,我就知道可穿戴要被玩坏了。

然后今天默默的再刷techcrunch看到了这个:

screen-shot-2015-02-19-at-1-50-59-pm

其中关于sex tracker我都醉了。太欢乐了,全手动而且可以记录诸如卡路里,时间等一系列的数据,for what so-called healthier sexual life。

还记得之前看过一个人做的基于google map做了一个关于在哪儿sex,和谁sex以及用了什么体位的一个网站,也是很欢乐。不过始终觉得,可穿戴有点走偏了哎……

真是丧心病狂的人类们……

新年快乐

大家都在拜年抢红包,而我却心情很不是滋味。

今天给姥姥爷爷打电话,他们说妈妈身体不好让我多问问。

突然觉得自己好不孝,妈妈想让我去读Graudate School那就去读好了,为什么总是要跟妈妈耍脾气。

我知道她是为了我好,也知道她比我辛苦的多。

子欲养而亲不待,当自己不为一切向前冲的时候,应该回回头关系自己爱的人。

记得Zuckerberg给自己在2013年的Year Mission说的是打一年领带,那么我的2015年的Year Mission就是不惹妈妈生一次气。

羊年,新年快乐。希望我最爱的人都好……

最怕听到你的消息……也最想听到你的消息……

The Hard Thing 读书笔记

很久之前就听说男神Ben Horowitz这本旷世奇书,然后之前草草读过一遍,总觉得要再细细看n遍才能明白些许,可是总抽不出来时间静静读书。

终于最近真的是快马加鞭再次仔仔细细一字一句的读掉了这本Best Book of 2014. 废话不多说,下面是读书笔记:

  1. No shortcut to knowledge, especially knowledge gained from personal experience. Following conventional wisdom and relying on shortcuts can be worse than knowing nothing at all.

  2. Leadership is the ability to get some to follow you even if only out of curiosity.

  3. The importance of founders to run the companies. Maybe the professional management team will send the company in one crazy direction because of lacking knowledge in technology and products.

  4. “Flowers are really cheap, but divorce is expensive” reminds him of the importance of the family. “I had to stop being a boy and become a man. I had to put first thing first. I had to consider the people who I cared about most before considering myself.” (The condition is his family are sweating in hot room with no money for the air conditioning)

  5. Marc:” Do you know the best thing about startups?” Ben:”What?” Marc:”You only ever experience two emotions,: euphoria and terror. And I find that lack of sleep enhances them both.”

  6. The most important rule of raising money privately: Look for a market of one. You only need one investor to say yes!

  7. No matter who you are, you need two kinds of friends in your life. The first kind is one you can call when something good happens, and you need someone who will be excited for you. Not a fake excitement veiling envy, but a real excitement. You need someone who will actually be more excited for you than he would be if it had happened to him. The second kind of friend is somebody you can call when things go horribly wrong—when your life is on the line and you only have one phone call。

  8. Figuring out the right product is the innovator’s job, not the customer’s job. The customer only knows what she thinks she wants based on her experience with the current product. The innovator can take into account everything that’s possible, but often must go against what she knows to be true. As a result, innovation requires a combination of knowledge, skill, and courage. Sometimes only the founder has the courage to ignore the data; we were running out of time, so I had to step in: “I don’t care about any of the existing requirements; I need you to reinvent the product and we need to win.” (Wartime CEO)

  9. Markets weren’t “efficient” at finding the truth; they were just very efficient at converging on a conclusion—often the wrong conclusion.

  10. “Well, boys, if you are going to have a dog race, then you are going to need a rabbit. And Oracle will be one hell of a rabbit.” When selling the company, you need the “rabbit” to make you hot and pricey.

这些都是Chapter 1-3的故事里面的笔记,本来之前决定之后的记在本子上面的,突然发现有些很好的零零散散的话,还是丢上来吧。

  1. Spend zero time on what you could have done, and devote all of your time on what you might do. Because in the end, nobody cares; just run your company. (nobody cares)

To be continued……
