对于后半个问题，他的第一任老婆在Quora上有过回答：
How to be as great as Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Elon Musk or Sir Richard Branson
Extreme success results from an extreme personality and comes at the cost of many other things. Extreme success is different from what I suppose you could just consider ‘success’, so know that you don’t have to be Richard or Elon to be affluent and accomplished and maintain a great lifestyle.
极致的成功需要极致的个性，这样的成功以其他方面的牺牲为代价。极度的成功跟你认为的『成功』是不一样的，你不必成为像理查德或者埃隆那样的人也能过上富裕和优质的生活。
Be obsessed.
Be obsessed.
Be obsessed.
If you’re not obsessed, then stop what you’re doing and find whatever does obsess you.
痴迷。痴迷。痴迷。如果你不痴迷现在做的事，就立刻停下，然后去找其他能是你着迷的事情。
Learn to handle a level of stress that would break most people.
学会承担能打垮大多数人的压力水平。
They do not fear failure — or they do, but they move ahead anyway.
他们不害怕失败–或者也怕，但无论如何都会继续前进。
They are unlikely to be reading stuff like this. (This is *not* to slam or criticize people who do; I love to read this stuff myself.) They are more likely to go straight to a book: perhaps a biography of Alexander the Great or Catherine the Great* or someone else they consider Great.
他们不太可能读这样的东西。（这不是批评你们，我自己也喜欢）他们更有可能直接去看一本书：也许是亚历山大大帝或凯瑟琳大帝的传记，或其他他们认为伟大的人的。
大概总结下，就是：1.这种成功并不舒服；2.对他们来说这是非做不可的事，而并不是为了强大；3.他们不会来网上看『如何才能强大』这种问题。
恕我直言，绝大多数人只是想达到他们那种强大的状态，而非像他们一样付出，而且也根本不知道该去做点什么。甚至说难听点，我们在键盘前讨论如何强大，本身就是一种很弱的表现了。
但这也并不没什么大不了的，学会面对平凡的生活也是一种『强大』。
