嗯，誠如假說只能用反證法來驗證，我相信組創業團隊的邏輯也是一樣。而能在沒有後顧之憂的環境中體會到這個心得是很難能可貴的。

說到創業家， 到底是怎麼煉成的呢（除了用人體煉成以外）？

這是一本讓早早放棄物理的我也看得懂的物理的書！ http://phdcomics.com/noidea/

Michael Lewis did it again! Through my whole adulthood, his books have been a source of references for me to understand this irrational world. The Liar’s Poker was the primer for me before I had the firsthand experience in the deceiving culture of finance. Yes, you can make anything a security and create a illusional  market out of it. The Moneyball was the prefect guidebook to get any school kids into statistics. Everyone should read the Blindside before watching their first NFL game. The Bigshort just taught us why a person shouldn’t listen to the sales in Deutsche Bank to buy those toxic collateralized debt obligations with the US$ 20 million that he sold his company to Genentech for. Michael Lewis seems to have that story-telling magic wand to use actions of people, words of conversation, stories of stories, to translate extremely technical ideas into the yet another pager turner.
