“We ended up not winning it or passing on it, depending on how you want to view it. And the world would have been a lot different if we’d done it. The thing you have to remember is that this was before the iPhone was introduced and no one knew what the iPhone would do…At the end of the day, there was a chip that they were interested in that they wanted to pay a certain price for and not a nickel more and that price was below our forecasted cost. I couldn’t see it. It wasn’t one of these things you can make up on volume. And in hindsight, the forecasted cost was wrong and the volume was 100x what anyone thought.
The lesson I took away from that was, while we like to speak with data around here, so many times in my career I’ve ended up making decisions with my gut, and I should have followed my gut.
My gut told me to say yes."
有時候，應該跟著直覺走；有時候，必須相信理性；有沒有一個在直覺和理性之上，可以超越平凡的東西呢？也許有，也許沒有，要自己去找。或許人生的成與敗 (如果有所謂成敗的話)，是由學到多少來決定。
