乔布斯、盖茨传奇上演 英16岁男孩成为百万富翁

    很少有人能断言，年仅十几岁的少年一般能大获成功。Few could truly claim that teens are, on the whole, terribly useful.

    如果你十分仰慕苹果CEO史蒂夫·乔布斯，那么这个故事会使你深受启发。It helps if you have a strong admiration for Apple CEO Steve Jobs.

   《每日邮报》报道称，英国科尔比市16岁的男孩克里斯蒂安·欧文斯，正是受了这位大胆创新的CEO启发。所以，在14岁时，他创办了名为"Mac Bundle Box"的公司，打包低价出售苹果公司产品的各种应用软件。According to the Daily Mail, Christian Owens, a 16-year-old from Corby in the United Kingdom, happened to be moved by the revolutionary chief executive. So, at the age of 14, he created a company called Mac Bundle Box, a neat little way for people to save money on various Mac OS X apps.

    欧文斯不单只是喜欢为顾客省钱的少年，他甚至还将公司的一部分利润捐给慈善机构。除此之外他还挣到了70万英镑，相当于100万美金。Not only was Owens a teen who enjoyed saving his customers money, he even donated some of his profits to charity. And still he made 700,000 British pounds. Which feels like a million dollars.

    看上去欧文斯确实有点书生气，一头肆意杂乱无章的卷发，一副眼镜；不知为何，他的形象让我想起经典剧集《小飞谍》中那个9岁的小特工。Owens does look a little on the nerdy side, with happily unruly curly hair and glasses that somehow reminded me of the cult classic "Joe 90," in which a 9-year-old becomes a special agent.

    但他在接受《每日邮报》采访时的一番话，听上去却老气横秋：“我认为每个人都有商业头脑，他们只需要积累经验并下定决心。”His words to the Mail, though, sound as if they came from an old man who has seen it all: "I think everyone has business sense in them, they just need to gain experience and be determined to make it."

    尽管十分欣赏苹果公司那些不可思议的创新，但欧文斯并不认为商业成功真的存在什么制胜法宝。他在接受《每日邮报》采访时表示：“商业并无神奇公式，努力、决心和动力才是成就非凡的不二法门。”Though he admires Apple`s magical revolution, Owens isn`t quite so convinced that magic truly has any part of business success. "There is no magical formula to business, it takes hard work, determination and the drive to do something great," he told the Mail.

    显然他的决心无比坚定，他又开设了一家名为"Branchr"的付费点击广告公司，该公司每月在各大小网站上发布超过3亿次的广告。
