????一年一度的《財富》雜志頭腦風暴技術大會（Brainstorm Tech conference）云集了技術創新行業最優秀、最出色的人才。《財富》雜志會定期地采訪不同的參會嘉賓，分享他們在業務、技術和創業方面的真知灼見。我們詢問了Fanhattan首席執行官吉利斯?拜恩羅薩10個問題，內容涉及其業余生活、他所獲得過的最佳建議和適用于青年創業家的行業秘訣。以下是他的回答：

1. 你獲得過的最佳建議是什么？

????“即使遇到再大的困難，也不要止步不前。”其實這并不算是我所獲得的建議（溫斯頓?丘吉爾的名言），但他說的一點都沒錯。

2. 你最近讀的書叫什么名字？

????布雷克?斯耐德寫的《拯救貓咪》（Save the Cat）講的是好萊塢的劇本創作。可能聽起來有點奇怪，但是我想了解好萊塢的精英們編故事的奧秘。無論是組建團隊還是打造合作關系或是籠絡投資商，身為企業家，我的很大一部分工作都要求我擁有高超的講故事技巧。

3. 對于即將進入殘酷的就業市場的年輕人，你有什么忠告？

????即便就業市場讓你感到不知所措，也應該追求自己所熱愛的工作。即便你目前的工作得不到別人認可，也要放手去做。遲早是會得到認可的。

4. 你錯過的最大的機遇是什么？

????我在職業生涯的早期，曾經因為困難就停止了繼續前行。因為跟一家更大的公司打官司，我關閉了我的第一家公司。我太早就放棄了。法國人用另一種眼光看待打官司這件事情……怎么說好呢，它更多地被當作是人身攻擊。如今，我才知道這實際上是我步入正軌的信號，而且我本應繼續堅持下去的。

5. 你的消遣活動有哪些？

????風箏沖浪。一到水上，我便會全身心地投入。這項運動讓人沒有閑暇的精力去想工作上的事情。能做到這一點的運動不多。這項運動非常激烈。

6. 你最欽佩哪位商業人士或技術專家？為什么？

????1984年，也就是遠在Mac電腦流行之前，我購買了蘋果的Apple II個人電腦。從那時開始，我便迷上了喬布斯。最近，我將杰夫?貝佐斯視為創始人的楷模，因為他一直統領著公司。創始人會讓公司不斷地標新立異，進行大膽地嘗試，而不是僅僅守著自己的專長一成不變。

7. 哪些企業是你崇拜的對象？為什么？

????Sonos是我的崇拜對象。當初 ，這家公司進入滿是蘋果iPod和Bose音箱的市場時，人們都說它瘋了。要擠進這個市場并獲得成功看起來似乎是不可能的事，但他們做到了。我十分欽佩它的執行策略。

????Fortune's annual Brainstorm Tech conference brings together the best and brightest minds in tech innovation. Fortune periodically turns the spotlight on a different conference attendee to offer his or her own personal insight into business, tech, and entrepreneurship. We asked Fanhattan CEO Gilles BianRosa to answer 10 questions about life outside of work, the best advice he ever received, and industry tips for young entrepreneurs. His responses follow.

1. What is the best advice you ever received?

????"When you're going through hell, keep going." Not exactly advice I received (coming from Winston Churchill), but totally true.

2. What was the last book you read?

????Save the Cat by Blake Snyder -- a book about screenwriting in Hollywood. Might seem like an odd choice, but I was trying to figure out how the best minds in Hollywood craft stories. So much of what I do as an entrepreneur requires great storytelling -- from rallying a team to building partnerships to securing investors.

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

????Follow your passion even if it looks like you're all over the place. Go for it even if it doesn't make sense now. It will later.

4. What was your biggest missed opportunity?

????Earlier in my career, I didn't keep going when I entered a patch of hell. I gave up too early and folded my first company over a lawsuit by a much larger company. In France a lawsuit is perceived in a different way ... not sure how to explain it, but it's seen more as a personal attack. Today I know it was actually a sign that I was on the right track and I should have kept going.

5. What do you do for fun?

????Kite surfing. I get totally absorbed when I'm on the water. It requires so much attention that you can't think about work. It's one of the few sports that does that. It's intense.

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

????I admired Steve Jobs since 1984 when I bought an Apple II, long before a Mac was cool. More recently, I've looked up to Jeff Bezos as an example of a founder who stayed at the helm of his company. Founders keep the business doing crazy things and making bold pivots rather than just dialing up what they already do well.

7. What other companies do you admire? Why?

????Sonos stands out for me. Here's a company that was told they were crazy to enter a world saturated with Apple iPods (AAPL) and Bose speakers. It seemed impossible to crack into that business and succeed -- yet they did. I'm in admiration of the execution.
