财富精英励志演讲 09：谷歌创始人母校演讲之请追随自己的梦(4)

[00:00.17]I think it is often easier to make progress on mega-ambitious dreams. 我认为，自古精英出狂人。 [00:04.91]I know that sounds completely nuts. 这话听起来挺没溜， [00:07.40]But, since no one else is crazy enough to do it, you have little competition. 但正因为别人没你疯狂。你的对手就很少 [00:13.81]In fact, there are so few people this crazy that I feel like I know them all by first name. 事实上，狂人屈指可数。碰巧我都认识， [00:20.33]They all travel as if they are pack dogs and stick to each other like glue. 他们比狗仔队还忙，比亲戚还走得近， [00:25.61]The best people want to work on the big challenges. 乐于接受一个又一个挑战。 [00:29.56]That is what happened with Google. 谷歌就有这样一帮人， [00:31.96]Our mission is to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful. 我们的任务是整合全世界的信息，使其随手可得，随时可用。 [00:40.02]How can that not get you excited? 碉堡吧? [00:43.95]But we almost didn't start Google actually because my co-founder Sergey and I were too worried about dropping out of our Ph.D. program. 但谷歌差一点夭折，因为我和我的搭档Sergey担心丢了博士学位。 [00:51.47]None of you have that issue it seems. 好在你们已经毕业。 [00:55.14]You are probably on the right track, if you feel like a sidewalk worm during a rainstorm! 当时我们坚信自己是一只暴风雨里的小小鸟，总有一天会飞得很高。 [01:01.58]That is about how we felt after we maxed out three credit cards buying hard disks off the back of a truck. 即使刷爆了三张信用卡，买来谷歌的第一批硬盘，也不曾后悔。 [01:09.29]That was actually the first hardware for Google。 那实际上是谷歌的第一批硬件。 [01:12.49]Parents and friends:more credit cards always help. 家长们，同学们。事实证明：多几张信用卡总是有用的， [01:19.45]What is the one sentence summary of how you change the world?Always work hard on something uncomfortably exciting! 如果用一句话总结：如何改变世界。为了迷狂般的梦想而奋斗终生! [01:27.84]As a Ph.D. student, I actually had three projects I wanted to work on. 其实在读博期间，我想参加三个项目。 [01:30.97]Thank goodness my advisor said,"why don't you work on the web for a while". 还好导师建议道："为什么不先研究网络呢?" [01:35.66]He gave me some seriously good advicebecause the web was growing with people and activity, even in 1995! 这个建议实在太好了，因为1995年网络就开始了迅猛发展。 [01:42.47]Technology and especially the Internet can really help you be lazy. 科技，尤其是网络确实能让人顺利变"懒"。 [01:47.84]Lazy? What I mean is a group of three people can write software that millions can use and enjoy. 你看三个人做的软件，能解决上百万人的需求问题， [01:55.58]Can three people answer the phone a million times?Find the leverage in the world,so you can be truly lazy! 你让三个接线员回答上百万人的问题试试?只找到能撬起地球的杠杆，才能让人成功变懒。 [02:11.71]Overall, I know it seems like the world is crumblingout there,but it is actually a great time in your life to get a little crazy, follow your curiosity, and be ambitious about it. 世界正在瞬息万变，但对你而言，这是个绝佳的时机!你可以不顾一切地追寻奇思，实现妙想， [02:23.50]Don't give up on your dreams. 不要放弃梦想， [02:25.80]The world needs you all! 世界需要你们!
