Source text - English I have tried to share my experience, as both an entrepreneur and an investor, of why and how to startup. However, some questions remain open. How can we create happiness as well as wealth? What is the ultimate purpose of doing all this? The answers to these questions cannot be gleaned from work experience, nor from a short and straightforward life experience. These answers can be found in human nature, in what it means to be human. At this point, my experience and logic are spent. All I have left to offer is a story. As a young man, I spent a lot of time with my grandfather, who was called Cesidio. He was constantly thinking about eating, my grandmother, and his grandchildren. My grandfather had a difficult life; strangely, this made him happy. The concept intrigued me. My grandfather was a beekeeper. At the age of 20, he left for war as part of the Alpini, Italy’s mountain troops. He took part in the campaign in Russia as part of the L’Aquila Battalion. He was dispatched to the front, on the Don River. During the winter of 1943, the Russian army launched a decisive attack that forced them to retreat. On foot, the Alpini marched through the snow for 15 days. Many of my grandfather’s comrades froze to death. He told me about some of them who seemed to lean against a wall or sit down, never to move again. Under the pressure of being encircled by enemy forces, they had to walk for days without sleep. One evening, convinced that he was going to die of cold, he tried to kill himself with his pistol, but his frozen hands saved him. He couldn’t get the pistol out of its holster. He told me that many people had the same idea, and that some succeeded. He was 20 years old – just a boy. He told me many times that men are good deep down in their souls, but that the wickedness of a few can turn them into beasts. He talked about the difference between men and beasts a lot. He said that a small gesture of humanity was more powerful than any act of malice. He was saved because a Russian woman took him to her izba, got him warm and fed him. The woman said that he reminded her of her son, who was away fighting for the enemy. While she was looking after him, the woman cried because she had no news of her son. The mother of his enemy saved his life. My grandfather was proud to have returned alive without killing anyone. He often reminded me of this fact, and I understand why. When he returned to his town, it was gone. It had been blown up by the Germans, who had gone from allies to enemies while he had been away. He rebuilt the house. His joy at reuniting with my grandmother soon resulted in the birth of my uncle and my mother. An earthquake destroyed the house yet again, but he rebuilt it. A few years later, a frost killed all his bees and the harvest. He therefore decided to go and work down in the mines. 10 years later, he was diagnosed with silicosis, a typical miners’ disease. Doctors gave him 3 years to live. But for him, having endured the Russian retreat, silicosis was like a cold. He lived for another 25 years, eventually passing away at the age of 83. He only gave in after diabetes had left him blind and taken one of his legs. My grandfather loved life; he didn’t want to die. Despite having a hard life, he was happy. He explained this by saying that a job well done enriches, rewards and satisfies a man, leading to a happy life. Years later, in interviews, I heard the same idea being expressed by Mario Rigoni Stern and Giuseppe Prisco, two of his comrades during the Russian retreat. A job well done makes you happy. A simple recipe for how to create happiness. During the last few years of his life, I was about the same age that he had been during the war. I was with him a lot, and he always wanted to tell me his stories of Russia. He said that he would never want me to go through those experiences in order to understand what really mattered in life. He was convinced that the stories were as powerful as the experience itself, but I think that he also wanted some company, and he knew that the war tales were a good way to keep me by his bedside. You can be happy with a job well done, but the question of why you do the job is a more profound problem. When I brought up the subject, he told me about the last words of those who he had seen die. Not the last words of old people, but those of his young comrades. He told me that death forces us to come to the real conclusions, ones which are not bound by borders, races or religions. These conclusions encapsulate human nature by stripping it down. He recalled that when his comrades or his Russian enemies died, they only said one of two things: If they were young boys, they shouted for their mothers to help them. They cried “Mamma! Mamma!” if they were Italian, and “Mama! Mama!” if they were Russian. Their last thought was for the person who had brought them into the world. People are the same, and the linguistic similarity of the word that was most important to them simply provided further proof of this. But the thing that struck him most was the last utterance of those who had children: all he heard was the names of their little ones. Their last thought was for them. For the future. It wasn’t a cry for help like those who called for their mothers; it was a lament at not being able to take care of them any longer. It’s as if life is divided into two phases: the period when you receive love from those who come before you, and the period when you give it to those who come after. Be happy doing a job well for those who come after you; it will make you proud. Ad maiora.	Translation - Chinese 对于为何创业及如何创业，我已经试图分享了我作为企业家和投资者的经验。但是，一些问题仍萦绕在我的脑海。我们怎样才能创造幸福和财富？这一切的终极目标是什么？这些问题的答案不能从工作经验中收获，也不能从短暂而直白的生活经历中取得。这些答案可以在人性中找到，而正是人性让我们生而为人。在这一点上，我的经验和逻辑苍白无力。我只好讲一个故事。作为一个年轻人，我有很长一段时间都和我的祖父切西迪奥在一起。他关心饮食、我的祖母和他的孙辈们。我的祖父一生坎坷；奇怪的是，这使他很快乐。为什么呢？我的祖父是个养蜂人。20岁时，他作为意大利阿尔卑斯山地部队的一员参战。作为拉奎拉营的士兵，他参加了在俄罗斯的战役。而且被派往顿河的前线。1943年的冬天，俄罗斯军队发起了一场决定性的攻击，迫使他们撤退。阿尔卑斯部队在漫天大雪中徒步了整整15天，我祖父的许多战友都冻死了。他告诉我，有些人看起来只是靠墙或坐下，然后就再也不动了。在被敌军包围的压力下，他们不眠不休地走了很多天。一天晚上，他确信自己就要冻死了，他试图用手枪自杀，但他冻僵的双手救了他。因为他无法将手枪从枪套中取出来。他告诉我，很多人想自杀，有些人成功了。那个时候他才20岁——只是个大男孩。他多次告诉我，人性本善，但少数人的邪恶可以把他们变成野兽，他常常谈起人与野兽之间的差别。他说，一点点人性的光辉都比任何恶意的烈焰更为炽热。他得救了，因为一名俄罗斯妇女将他带回自己的小木屋中，给了他温暖和食物。女人说，他让她想起了自己的儿子，他正在远方与敌军战斗。照料他时，女人哭了，因为她的儿子音讯全无。他的敌人的母亲救了他的命。我的祖父很自豪，他在没有杀死任何人的情况下活着回到了祖国。他经常提醒我这个事实，而我理解这是为什么。当他回去的时候，家乡已经不复存在。小镇被德国人炸毁了，德国从盟友变成了敌人。他重建了家园。他欢天喜地地与祖母团聚，很快我的叔叔和母亲降生。后来一次地震再次摧毁了房子，而他再次重建。几年后，霜冻又杀死了他所有的蜜蜂，令他血本无归。他因此决定去矿井工作。10年后，他被诊断患有硅肺病，这是一种典型的矿工病。医生告诉他，他只剩下三年。但对经历过俄罗斯大撤退的他来说，硅肺病就像是一场感冒。他又活了25年，最终在83岁时与世长辞。他从不屈服，直到糖尿病导致他失明并夺走了他的一条腿。我的祖父热爱生活；他不想死。尽管活的艰难，但他很快乐。他解释说，做好一项工作可以使一个人获得充实、激励和满足，这样就能带来快乐的人生。多年以后，我听到他在俄罗斯大撤退期间的两位战友马里奥·里戈尼·斯特恩和朱塞佩·普里斯科表达同样的观点。做好一项工作能使你快乐。这简单的秘诀，教你如何创造幸福。在他生命的最后几年里，我与战争时期的他年岁相当。我时常和他在一起，他总是想告诉我他在俄罗斯的故事。他说他永远不希望我经历那些，才能了解生活中真正重要的事情。这些故事和经验本身一样珍贵，但他也想要人陪伴，他知道那些战争故事是让我陪伴他、侧耳谛听的好方法。你可以对做好一项工作感到满意，但你为何去做这项工作是一个更加深刻的问题。当我提出这个话题时，他告诉我他所亲见的那些死者的遗言，不是老人的遗言，而是他年轻战友们的遗言。他告诉我，死亡迫使我们得出真正的结论，一些不受国界、种族和宗教束缚的结论，这些结论洞察人性。他回忆说，当他的战友或是俄罗斯敌人死去时，他们只说这两句话的其中一句：如果他们很年轻，他们会大声呼喊母亲来帮助他们。如果他们是意大利人，他们哭喊“Mamma! Mamma!”如果他们是俄罗斯人，他们喊“Mama! Mama!”他们在临终时想着那个把他们带到这个世界上来的人。人都是相同的，对他们最重要的单词的语言相似性只是进一步证明了这一点。但最能打动他的，是那些为人父母者的临终之言：他所听到的唯有他们孩子的名字。他们最终的念头是孩子。是未来。他们不去呼唤自己的母亲寻求帮助；他们哀叹再也无法照顾自己的孩子。这就好像生活被分为两个阶段：先生者予你关爱，后继者受你照拂。做好一项工作，为后来者铺平前路，并对此感到快乐；这会让你引以为豪。向着远大前程。
