Basically if you study entrepreneurs, there is a misnomer: People think that entrepreneurs take risk, and they get rewarded because they take risk. In reality entrepreneurs do everything they can to minimize risk. They are not interested in taking risk. They want free lunches and they go after free lunches.

基本上,如果你研究企业家,你会发现一个错误的说法:人们认为企业家敢于冒险,而他们之所以能得到回报,是因为他们敢于冒险。在现实中,企业家们尽其所能将风险降到最低。他们对冒险不感兴趣。他们想要免费的午餐,他们追求免费的午餐。
