  When I was nearly done with my PhD, I got bitten by that entrepreneurial bug1. 在我快拿到博士学位的时候,我开始心心念念想创业。
  I was in Silicon2 Valley, and so writing a thesis in the basement didn't seem as interesting as starting my own company. 我当时在硅谷,在地下室写论文无趣极了,跟自己开公司没法比。

  You can imagine how this conversation was going to go. 不难想象这次对话会变成什么样。
  But fortunately, I had a secret weapon with me, 但幸运的是,我有秘密武器,
  which was a chart that had the average income of all of the graduates from Stanford PhD programs, 那是一张图表,上面展示的是斯坦福博士毕业生的平均收入水平,
  and then the average income of all the dropouts from Stanford graduate programs. 还有从斯坦福退学的人的平均收入水平。
  I must tell you -- this chart was definitely skewed by the founders4 of Google. 我必须得说,这张图表的数据分布绝对发生了偏移,因为谷歌的创始人们。
  But my mom looked at the chart, and she said, "Oh, for you -- follow your passion." Hi, Mom. 但是我妈妈看着那张图表,对我说,“哦,我支持你!追随你的激情吧。”谢了,妈妈。
