You get some success. You run into some walls. And it's how tenacious you are, how irrepressible, how ultimately optimistic and tenacious you are about it that will determine your success.

这句语录背后的故事
Steve Ballmer, the famously energetic CEO of Microsoft, built his speech around three pillars: great ideas, passion, and tenacity. On tenacity, he preferred the word 'irrepressible' — tenacious but with optimism baked in. He pointed out that most companies started in tech fail, and even the ones that succeeded — Microsoft, Apple, Google, Facebook — all went through times of hardship. Passion gets you excited, but irrepressibility keeps you going when things get hard. He applied this beyond the tech industry, arguing it's a universal lesson whether you're going into science, medicine, business, or any other walk of life.
