The documentary is great and the book is more detailed. Watching Bad Blood, Holmes feels like an unreasonable lunatic. In such a company, many people should not be able to survive for three months. Monitor the track of keyboard usage. Different teams must not communicate with each other, chat with colleagues casually, and have to be monitored when going to the bathroom. Isn’t it a prison?
"Some people take a path, trying to do positive things for the right. Nobody questions her motives were but end up being something bad." After watching the documentary, I also tend to believe that her intentions are good and that I can change the world. However, the road she has to walk is a dead end, and she is unwilling to turn. If she is willing to appropriately enlarge the volume of the instrument and the amount of blood drawn, instead of against the law of physics, the outcome of Theranos may be different. I was attracted by Ryan Wistort. He was really serious about doing things and wanted a solution. Wouldn't it be better to confirm the technical feasibility instead of spending two hours thinking about a name? Holmes pursues perfection too much, but completely ignores reality. All she knows is that I want this, but I don't know how to do it. The employee said that this is not feasible, then she thinks that this employee is not suitable for Silicon Valley, and find someone who can do this. Then you always say you want to build a machine faster than the speed of light, so you have to nod your head and say yes?
Here is an interlude. I think this is as absurd as the idea that consumerism can provide motivation for work first, because I have the desire to consume 100,000 a month, so I can definitely earn 100,000? You may also end up in jail, babe. (This is not a critique. Individuals respect different consumerism.) Regardless, it is very dangerous that desire and ambition do not match, and Holmes is the same. She is really the type of person I fear the most, and I don't really like it. She is self-sufficient and will not listen at all as long as it is not what she wants to hear. Her own professor said that her plan was not feasible, so she was selectively deaf; the doctor said that the product was not feasible, she isolated others, and forced an expert who really understood technology to be depressed and forced to commit suicide. Seeing this passage is really complicated, which verifies the dice experiment described by the author of grotesque psychology: for the so-called lofty ideals, people are more able to accept their unscrupulous means.
But I have to admit that she is an excellent speaker and an excellent dream seller. If you do not do technology, but do marketing, then there is a high probability that you will succeed. After all, what she said hit the hearts of many people and made people truly believe that she was fighting for her dreams, such as: "There was never sort of plan to drop out of Stanford, but I found what I loved. I found what I wanted to spend my life doing."; "There's no shortcut to really hard work.". Coupled with her sincere and eager eyes and deep and powerful voice, it is hard to believe that she is a big liar. It is also a familiar formula when Huyou recruits excellent talents. "You are all part of something that is a revolution, a part of something that is changing the world. What higher purpose is there than to be able to be doing that?" We change together The world, has the blood boiled?
As a loyal believer of Edison, Holmes can be said to have done "Fake it till you make it" to the extreme. She also learned Edison's secret: "Edison's secret was knowing how to tell a good story.", because I am afraid of the story of the blood drawn and the original intention of starting a business, the story of the uncle’s failure to be tested in time and eventually leading to his death, and so on. At the same time, he also learned Edison's "He often promised far more than he could deliver." Working with the military is like this. Things that are clearly not a word have become established facts, and they are propagated on the official website. As a fan of Jobs, Holmes only wears a black turtleneck sweater. For this outfit, adjusting the company's air conditioner to 15°C all the year round is also a manifestation of paranoia. In order to pay tribute to Jobs, mirrored promotional photos, similar sofa seats, and the same clothes all the year round, Holmes is also pretty hard.
When I am in a good mood, continue to fill the hole, haha.
