不知道新浪网友里面有多少人拥有自己的公司，或者是打算自己开公司。关于创业和工作，老张自己编了三句话，也是自己非常喜欢的三句话：
Success comes from passion, persistence and doing what you love to do.
成功来自于激情、坚持以及做你喜欢做的事。
The best feeling in the world is getting paid to do what you love to do.
世界上最棒的感觉就是做你喜欢的事，别人还要为此付你钱。
The best job is one where you can't tell the difference between work and pleasure.
最好的工作就是你分不清工作和快乐的区别。
前段时间写过一篇文章，是关于“激情”和“做你喜欢的事”的话题，很受身边一些朋友的喜欢。我在里面列举了一些身边的例子。比如我老婆的老板，农民出身，后来在裁缝店做学徒，再后来自己开小店，二十年后成为了亿万富翁，现在拥有国内最大的休闲服公司。每次在电视做节目时别人问他为什么会取得成功，他的回答总是“我就喜欢做衣服，对其它行业不感兴趣”；还有就是老张的一个业务合作伙伴，他初中辍学，去了深圳打工，迷上了AV设备，后来自己在上海创业，十多年后拥有上海最大的同声翻译设备公司。。。
正好这两天在看Donald J. Trump的几本书，又碰到了这个话题。选摘了几段，和正在开公司或将要开公司的朋友们共勉：
You have to love what you do or you are never going to be successful no matter what you do in life. If you love what you do, you are going to work harder, you are going to try harder, you are going to be better at it, and you are going to enjoy your life more. The most important things are knowing your business and loving what you do, both of which solve a lot of problems.
你必须爱上你的工作，否则，无论你做什么，一生都难以成功。如果热爱自己所从事的工作，就会更家努力地尝试；工作就会越做越好，生活也会有滋有味。最重要的是，要了解你的工作并且热爱你的工作，这两点会使许多问题迎刃而解。
I am so passionate about my work that to me there is nothing better, which is the greatest feeling. Some nights I can’t even sleep. I want to wake up so badly and go to work.
我对自己的工作是如此地激情澎湃，对我来说，做什么事都比不上工作时的感觉；这种感觉真棒，有时，我甚至难以成眠，迫不及待地想起床去工作。
If you want to do really big things in life, then you have to have monumental enthusiasm and passion. To be done right, every job requires passion. The doorman, the waiter, and the receptionist are there to greet each visitor with enthusiasm. No matter what your job is presently, do it with passion and magic will happen. You will meet the right person and get noticed. I have seen this over and over again.
如果想在有生之年成就大业，就必须具有无比巨大的热情和激情。无论从事什么工作，要想做好，激情都是必不可少的，即使是门童、侍者或前台，也必须充满热情地向每一位客人打招呼。而且无论你目前的工作是什么，只要你带着激情去做，奇迹就会发生。你肯定会遇到你的贵人，被他注意到，这种事情，我实在见过太多了。
Without passion, life lacks luster. Passion gives you the intestinal fortitude you need to never give up. How do you find your passion? Try this: For a moment, put aside any judgments and rational assessment you may have. Start daydreaming about what you really and truly love to do. If you could do one thing in life, what would it be? What do you get so caught up in the fun of doing what you lose track of time? What would you enjoy doing so much you would do it even without getting paid? What have you been doing when you were very satisfied with yourself? What kinds of things put you in a “zone” and lead to peak experiences? If you could be
