我認(rèn)為,自古精英出狂人。這話聽起來挺沒溜,但正因?yàn)閯e人沒你瘋狂。你的對手就很少。事實(shí)上,狂人屈指可數(shù)。碰巧我都認(rèn)識,他們比狗仔隊(duì)還忙,比親戚還走得近,樂于接受一個(gè)又一個(gè)挑戰(zhàn)。谷歌就有這樣一幫人,我們的任務(wù)是整合全世界的信息,使其隨手可得,隨時(shí)可用。碉堡吧?但谷歌差一點(diǎn)夭折,因?yàn)槲液臀业拇顧nSergey擔(dān)心丟了博士學(xué)位。好在你們已經(jīng)畢業(yè)。當(dāng)時(shí)我們堅(jiān)信自己是一只暴風(fēng)雨里的小小鳥,總有一天會飛得很高。即使刷爆了三張信用卡,買來谷歌的第一批硬盤,也不曾后悔。
Parents and friends:more credit cards always help.What is the one sentence summary of howyou change the world?Always work hard on something uncomfortably exciting!As a Ph.D.student, I actually had three projects I wanted to work on.Thank goodness my advisorsaid,"why don't you work on the web for a while".He gave me some seriously goodadvicebecause the web was growing with people and activity, even in 1995!Technology andespecially the Internet can really help you be lazy.Lazy? What I mean is a group of three peoplecan write software that millions can use and enjoy. Can three people answer the phone a milliontimes?Find the leverage in the world,so you can be truly lazy!Overall, I know it seems like theworld is crumblingout there,but it is actually a great time in your life to get a little crazy, followyour curiosity, and be ambitious about it.Don't give up on your dreams. The world needs youall!
家長們,同學(xué)們。事實(shí)證明:多幾張信用卡總是有用的,如果用一句話總結(jié):如何改變世界。為了迷狂般的夢想而奮斗終生!其實(shí)在讀博期間,我想?yún)⒓尤齻€(gè)項(xiàng)目。還好導(dǎo)師建議道:"為什么不先研究網(wǎng)絡(luò)呢?"這個(gè)建議實(shí)在太好了,因?yàn)?995年網(wǎng)絡(luò)就開始了迅猛發(fā)展??萍迹绕涫蔷W(wǎng)絡(luò)確實(shí)能讓人順利變"懶"。你看三個(gè)人做的軟件,能解決上百萬人的需求問題,你讓三個(gè)接線員回答上百萬人的問題試試?只找到能撬起地球的杠桿,才能讓人成功變懶。世界正在瞬息萬變,但對你而言,這是個(gè)絕佳的時(shí)機(jī)!你可以不顧一切地追尋奇思,實(shí)現(xiàn)妙想,不要放棄夢想,世界需要你們!
