現在大家熟悉的 Netflix,差一點成為一個賣個人化洗髮精的公司?(有中文版)
這本書比我想像的要好看,或許是因為我對成功故事或是暢銷書,總是帶著保留的心情吧?只看到書名,還以為他要講的是自己有一個絕妙的點子,如何克服萬難實現。還好書本的內容比這個真實多了。
不同於一般想像中矽谷創業的故事,身為共同創辦人的主角不是一名輟學的天才軟體工程師,而是一個40歲左右剛剛離開前一家被合併的公司的人,跟著賣出公司的合夥人成立的新創。他們一開始似乎也只是為了創業而創業,並非一開始就決定要顛覆影片產業。不管是個人化的洗髮精,或是球棒,甚至是狗食他們都思考過。集結一群好友討論想要解決什麼樣困難的問題後,才決定從DVD租借開始。
我很喜歡這本書的兩個點。第一是它很具體的描述創業初期實際的問題,以及碰到一些計畫外的挑戰。作者身為執行長的期間是在公司成立的前面7年,跟我們現在大部分人所認識的Netflix,其實是非常的不同,所以很有新鮮感,也可以感受到當時還不是大公司時的各種挑戰和掙扎。書中說到他們當時許許多多的點子,看到現在的Netflix,其實會感到好像不同的世界。但就是在這些大量的點子以及大量的常嘗試中,他們才逐步找到創造價值的方向 (我猜也就是中文書名的原由)
另外,就是它並不是用成功經驗的角度來寫這個故事。書中有非常多失敗經驗,包括他們網站1998年上線時,第一天伺服器就掛掉了 (只有百位用戶),而且一連掛了好幾天。有一次他們搭載克林頓緋聞聽證會話題,推出DVD 影片吸引用戶購買,結果發現有部分的片子不小心郵寄了成人三級片。公司緊急向客戶發出澄清與道歉,並且提供免費召回更換的服務 (結果沒有任何客戶表示想要更換 😂)
書中最大的一個轉折點,是在創業的4年左右,另外一位創辦人 (也是大家比較熟知的 Reed Hastings) ,有一天非常慎重其事地找他在辦公室外面借一步說話。平實自信,說話信手拈來的Reed ,竟然拿出一個筆記型電腦打開投影片,簡單的唸出預先想好的幾句話,讓本書作者見驚不已。這一段讓他和妻子感到生氣的簡報,竟然成為公司能夠活下去,並且走向成長的關鍵決定?
最後一章的設計我也蠻喜歡的。裡面說到很多成功後 (上市前的裁員,和之後突飛猛進的成長)的不為人知那一面。但最後讓作者最引以為傲的,是在一個典型矽谷創業故事中,他仍然堅持了人生最重要的一個價值,就是把家庭放在生命中的第一位。
"Epiphanies are rare, and when they appear in origin stories they're often oversimplified or just plain fales. We like these tales because they align with a romantic idea about inspiration and genius. We want our Isaac Newton's to be sitting under the apple tree when the Apple falls... but the truth is usually more complicated than that. The truth is that for every good idea, there are a thousand bad ones, and sometimes it can be hard to tell the difference"
“頓悟是非常罕見的,而且當它們出現在故事中,常常是被過度簡化甚至虛構的。我們喜歡這樣的故事,因為那與我們對於靈感和天才的幻想比較接近,大家都希望蘋果掉下來的時候,你的牛頓剛好坐在樹下。但事實往往比這更複雜。一個好的點子,通常同時伴隨著上千個不會成功的點子,要能夠分辨好壞,是相當困難的事”

今早為Asian Medical Students Association Hong Kong (AMSAHK)的新一屆執行委員會就職典禮作致詞分享嘉賓,題目為「疫情中的健康不公平」。
感謝他們的熱情款待以及為整段致詞拍了影片。以下我附上致詞的英文原稿:
It's been my honor to be invited to give the closing remarks for the Inauguration Ceremony for the incoming executive committee of the Asian Medical Students' Association Hong Kong (AMSAHK) this morning. A video has been taken for the remarks I made regarding health inequalities during the COVID-19 pandemic (big thanks to the student who withstood the soreness of her arm for holding the camera up for 15 minutes straight), and here's the transcript of the main body of the speech that goes with this video:
//The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, continues to be rampant around the world since early 2020, resulting in more than 55 million cases and 1.3 million deaths worldwide as of today. (So no! It’s not a hoax for those conspiracy theorists out there!) A higher rate of incidence and deaths, as well as worse health-related quality of life have been widely observed in the socially disadvantaged groups, including people of lower socioeconomic position, older persons, migrants, ethnic minority and communities of color, etc. While epidemiologists and scientists around the world are dedicated in gathering scientific evidence on the specific causes and determinants of the health inequalities observed in different countries and regions, we can apply the Social Determinants of Health Conceptual Framework developed by the World Health Organization team led by the eminent Prof Sir Michael Marmot, world’s leading social epidemiologist, to understand and delineate these social determinants of health inequalities related to the COVID-19 pandemic.
According to this framework, social determinants of health can be largely categorized into two types – 1) the lower stream, intermediary determinants, and 2) the upper stream, structural and macro-environmental determinants. For the COVID-19 pandemic, we realized that the lower stream factors may include material circumstances, such as people’s living and working conditions. For instance, the nature of the occupations of these people of lower socioeconomic position tends to require them to travel outside to work, i.e., they cannot work from home, which is a luxury for people who can afford to do it. This lack of choice in the location of occupation may expose them to greater risk of infection through more transportation and interactions with strangers. We have also seen infection clusters among crowded places like elderly homes, public housing estates, and boarding houses for foreign domestic helpers. Moreover, these socially disadvantaged people tend to have lower financial and social capital – it can be observed that they were more likely to be deprived of personal protective equipment like face masks and hand sanitizers, especially during the earlier days of the pandemic. On the other hand, the upper stream, structural determinants of health may include policies related to public health, education, macroeconomics, social protection and welfare, as well as our governance… and last, but not least, our culture and values. If the socioeconomic and political contexts are not favorable to the socially disadvantaged, their health and well-being will be disproportionately affected by the pandemic. Therefore, if we, as a society, espouse to address and reduce the problem of health inequalities, social determinants of health cannot be overlooked in devising and designing any public health-related strategies, measures and policies.
Although a higher rate of incidence and deaths have been widely observed in the socially disadvantaged groups, especially in countries with severe COVID-19 outbreaks, this phenomenon seems to be less discussed and less covered by media in Hong Kong, where the disease incidence is relatively low when compared with other countries around the world. Before the resurgence of local cases in early July, local spread of COVID-19 was sporadic and most cases were imported. In the earlier days of the pandemic, most cases were primarily imported by travelers and return-students studying overseas, leading to a minor surge between mid-March and mid-April of 874 new cases. Most of these cases during Spring were people who could afford to travel and study abroad, and thus tended to be more well-off. Therefore, some would say the expected social gradient in health impact did not seem to exist in Hong Kong, but may I remind you that, it is only the case when we focus on COVID-19-specific incidence and mortality alone. But can we really deduce from this that COVID-19-related health inequality does not exist in Hong Kong? According to the Social Determinants of Health Framework mentioned earlier, the obvious answer is “No, of course not.” And here’s why…
In addition to the direct disease burden, the COVID-19 outbreak and its associated containment measures (such as economic lockdown, mandatory social distancing, and change of work arrangements) could have unequal wider socioeconomic impacts on the general population, especially in regions with pervasive existing social inequalities. Given the limited resources and capacity of the socioeconomically disadvantaged to respond to emergency and adverse events, their general health and well-being are likely to be unduly and inordinately affected by the abrupt changes in their daily economic and social conditions, like job loss and insecurity, brought about by the COVID-19 outbreak and the corresponding containment and mitigation measures of which the main purpose was supposedly disease prevention and health protection at the first place. As such, focusing only on COVID-19 incidence or mortality as the outcomes of concern to address health inequalities may leave out important aspects of life that contributes significantly to people’s health. Recently, my research team and I collaborated with Sir Michael Marmot in a Hong Kong study, and found that the poor people in Hong Kong fared worse in every aspects of life than their richer counterparts in terms of economic activity, personal protective equipment, personal hygiene practice, as well as well-being and health after the COVID-19 outbreak. We also found that part of the observed health inequality can be attributed to the pandemic and its related containment measures via people’s concerns over their own and their families’ livelihood and economic activity. In other words, health inequalities were contributed by the pandemic even in a city where incidence is relatively low through other social determinants of health that directly concerned the livelihood and economic activity of the people. So in this study, we confirmed that focusing only on the incident and death cases as the outcomes of concern to address health inequalities is like a story half-told, and would severely truncate and distort the reality.
Truth be told, health inequality does not only appear after the pandemic outbreak of COVID-19, it is a pre-existing condition in countries and regions around the world, including Hong Kong. My research over the years have consistently shown that people in lower socioeconomic position tend to have worse physical and mental health status. Nevertheless, precisely because health inequality is nothing new, there are always voices in our society trying to dismiss the problem, arguing that it is only natural to have wealth inequality in any capitalistic society. However, in reckoning with health inequalities, we need to go beyond just figuring out the disparities or differences in health status between the poor and the rich, and we need to raise an ethically relevant question: are these inequalities, disparities and differences remediable? Can they be fixed? Can we do something about them? If they are remediable, and we can do something about them but we haven’t, then we’d say these inequalities are ultimately unjust and unfair. In other words, a society that prides itself in pursuing justice must, and I say must, strive to address and reduce these unfair health inequalities. Borrowing the words from famed sociologist Judith Butler, “the virus alone does not discriminate,” but “social and economic inequality will make sure that it does.” With COVID-19, we learn that it is not only the individuals who are sick, but our society. And it’s time we do something about it.
Thank you very much!//
Please join me in congratulating the incoming executive committee of AMSAHK and giving them the best wishes for their future endeavor!
