「What is your definition of retirement?
你對退休的定義是什麼？
Retirement is when you stop sacrificing today for an imaginary tomorrow. When today is complete, in and of itself, you’re retired.
退休就是你不再為了想象中的明天而犧牲今天。今天結束後，你就可以退休了。
How do you get there?
你怎麼去那裡？
Well, one way is to have so much money saved that your passive income (without you lifting a finger) covers your burn rate.
嗯，一種方法是存很多錢，這樣你的被動收入(不需要你動一根手指)就可以覆蓋你的燒傷率。
A second is you just drive your burn rate down to zero—you become a monk.
第二，你只要把你的燒傷率降到零--你就成了一名僧侶。
A third is you’re doing something you love. You enjoy it so much, it’s not about the money. So there are multiple ways to retirement.
第三個是你正在做你喜歡做的事情。你太享受了，這不是錢的問題。所以退休的方式有很多種。
The way to get out of the competition trap is to be authentic, to find the thing you know how to do better than anybody. You know how to do it better because you love it, and no one can compete with you. If you love to do it, be authentic, and then figure out how to map that to what society actually wants. Apply some leverage and put your name on it. You take the risks, but you gain the rewards, have ownership and equity in what you’re doing, and just crank it up.
走出競爭陷阱的方法是做真實的事情，找到你知道如何做得比任何人都好的事情。你知道如何做得更好，因為你熱愛它，沒有人能與你競爭。如果你喜歡這樣做，那就做一個真實的人，然後弄清楚如何將它映射到社會真正想要的東西上。施加一些籌碼，把你的名字寫在上面。你承擔風險，但你獲得了回報，對你所做的事情擁有所有權和權益，然後就把它發動起來。
Did your motivation to earn money drop after you become financially independent?
當你經濟獨立後，你賺錢的動力有沒有下降？
Yes and no. It did in the sense the desperation was gone.
是也不是。從某種意義上說，它確實做到了，絕望已經消失了。
But if anything, creating businesses and making money are now more of an 「art.」
但如果說有什麼不同的話，那就是創業和賺錢現在更像是一門「藝術」。
Whether in commerce, science, or politics—history remembers the artists.
無論是在商業、科學還是政治領域，歷史都會記住藝術家。
Art is creativity. Art is anything done for its own sake. What are the things that are done for their own sake, and there’s nothing behind them? Loving somebody, creating something, playing. To me, creating businesses is play. I create businesses because it’s fun, because I’m into the product.
藝術就是創造力。藝術是任何為了它自己而做的事情。有哪些事情是為了自己的利益而做的，而它們背後卻什麼都沒有呢？愛一個人，創造一些東西，玩耍。對我來說，創業就是玩耍。我做生意是因為它有趣，因為我喜歡這個產品。
I can create a new business within three months: raise the money, assemble a team, and launch it. It’s fun for me. It’s really cool to see what can I put together. It makes money almost as a side effect. Creating businesses is the game I became good at. It’s just my motivation has shifted from being goal -oriented to being artistic. Ironically, I think I’m much better at it now.
我可以在三個月內創建一家新公司：籌集資金，組建一個團隊，然後啓動它。這對我來說很有趣。看看我能拼湊出什麼真的很酷。它賺錢幾乎是一種副作用。創業是我擅長的遊戲。只是我的動機已經從目標導向轉向藝術。具有諷刺意味的是，我認為我現在做得要好得多。」
