???? 《財(cái)富》頭腦風(fēng)暴技術(shù)大會(huì)（7月22-24日在美國(guó)科羅拉多州阿斯彭舉行）定期將最優(yōu)秀的科技創(chuàng)新人才聚集一場(chǎng)。《財(cái)富》將每周聚焦一名與會(huì)者，讓他/她給出自己對(duì)商業(yè)、技術(shù)以及企業(yè)家精神的獨(dú)特見解。這次我們請(qǐng)了瑞爾登商務(wù)公司（Rearden Commerce）董事長(zhǎng)兼首席執(zhí)行官帕特里克?格雷迪，請(qǐng)他回答10個(gè)關(guān)于工作之外的問題，比如他最欽佩的公司，以及他給青年企業(yè)家的行業(yè)建議等。他的回答如下。

《財(cái)富》：你曾得到的最佳建議是什么？

格雷迪：是我成長(zhǎng)時(shí)我媽真的每天都對(duì)我說(shuō)的一句話——只要我專心去干，我沒有什么做不了的事。這句話給我灌輸了力量感和個(gè)人責(zé)任感。

你最近看的一本書是什么？

????《凱恩斯與哈耶克：定義現(xiàn)代經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)的沖突》

你想對(duì)即將進(jìn)入嚴(yán)峻就業(yè)市場(chǎng)的年輕人說(shuō)些什么？

????許多聰明的年輕人在寫簡(jiǎn)歷時(shí)敷衍了事。其實(shí)，他們應(yīng)該展示對(duì)與自己所面試工作熱切的求知欲、了解以及激情，而且能夠具體說(shuō)清楚，為什么自己是這份工作的不二人選。

如果你不干現(xiàn)在的工作了，打算干什么？

????我會(huì)再創(chuàng)建一家軟件企業(yè)。馬克?安德森（硅谷著名投資人——一周）說(shuō)得很對(duì)——軟件通吃世界，而我認(rèn)為這場(chǎng)盛宴現(xiàn)在才剛剛開始。

你平時(shí)有什么娛樂活動(dòng)？

????培養(yǎng)我們家兩位不同凡響的千金。

你最欽佩哪位商界或科技界人士？原因是什么？

????杰夫?貝索斯【亞馬遜（Amazon）首席執(zhí)行官】。他具備世所罕見的眼光、極其卓越的管理能力以及對(duì)遠(yuǎn)大目標(biāo)的不懈追求。

你還敬仰哪些公司呢？為什么？

????谷歌（Google）。他們有和亞馬遜類似的基因，都堅(jiān)信凡事皆有可能，而且還積極地組織人力和財(cái)務(wù)資源去實(shí)現(xiàn)目標(biāo)。盡管人們對(duì)它們好評(píng)如潮，而且他們的市值目前也高達(dá)3000多億美元，但我仍然認(rèn)為，這兩家公司實(shí)際上都被低估了。

你如何平衡工作和生活？

????花時(shí)間陪我女兒。這是雷打不動(dòng)的。我組建的團(tuán)隊(duì)也都尊重這一點(diǎn)，工作時(shí)也會(huì)做出相應(yīng)變通。

當(dāng)下的管理者必須具備的一個(gè)特征是什么？

????人品好。

????Fortune's Brainstorm Tech Conference (July 22-24 in Aspen, Colo.) regularly brings together the best and brightest minds in tech innovation. Each week, Fortunewill turn the spotlight on a different conference attendee to offer his or her own personal insight into business, tech, and entrepreneurship. This week, we asked Rearden Commerce Chairman and CEO Patrick Grady to answer 10 questions about life outside of work, the company he admires most, and industry advice for young entrepreneurs. His responses follow.

Fortune: What is the best advice you ever received?

Grady:My mother told me every single day -- literally -- when I was growing up that I could be anything I wanted to in life if I put my mind to it. It imbued me with a sense of empowerment and personal responsibility.

What was the last book you read?

????Keynes Hayek:The Clash that Defined Modern Economics

What would you say to a group of young people looking to enter the tough job market?

????There are a lot of smart young people with resumes that "check the boxes." Demonstrate genuine intellectual curiosity, understanding, and passion about the job you're interviewing for and be able to concretely explain how you're uniquely suited to fill it.

What would you do if you weren't working at your current job?

????I'd start another software company. Marc Andreessen is right -- software is eating the world, and I don't think we're through the appetizers yet.

What do you do for fun?

????Raise two epic daughters.

What business or technology person do you admire most? Why?

????Jeff Bezos [CEO of Amazon]. He has a remarkably rare combination of vision, operational excellence, and commitment to ambitious long-term goals.

What other companies do you admire? Why?

????Google (GOOG). They possess similar DNA to Amazon (AMZN), believing that anything is possible and backing it up with the intellectual and financial resources to make it happen. I believe that they're actually underrated despite the respect they receive and the $300 billion market cap that they currently enjoy.

What do you do to live a balanced life?

????My balance comes from my time with my daughters. It's sacrosanct, and I've got a team that respects that and works around it.

What is one characteristic that every leader should possess?

????Character.

Is business school necessary for entrepreneurs?

????No, in fact it's more of a liability than an asset or necessity. Entrepreneurs see the world not as it is, but how it could be. That purity of vision shouldn't be tainted by looking at the world through a conventional lens.
