/經典名人英語演講稿41：追逐遠大的夢想（谷歌創始人拉里.佩奇密歇根大學演講）mp3
41. Chasing Your Ambitious Dreams
41. 追逐遠大的夢想
I think it is often easier to make progress on mega-ambitious dreams. I know that sounds completely nuts. But, since no one else is crazy enough to do it, you'll have little competition. The best people want to work on the big challenges. That is what happened with Google.
我認為，通常追尋雄心萬丈的夢想更容易些。我知道這聽起來簡直是一派胡言。不過，既然沒有別人瘋狂到會做這種事，你就沒有競爭對手了。優秀的人喜歡接受大挑戰。這就是在谷歌發生的事情。
Our mission is to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful. How can that not get you excited? But we almost didn't start Google, actually, because my co-founder Sergey and I were too worried about dropping out of the PHD program. You are probably on the right track if you feel like a sidewalk worm during a rainstorm! That is about how we felt after we maxed out three credit cards buying hard disks off the back of a truck. That was actually the first hardware for Google. Parents and friends: more credit cards always help. What is the one sentence summary of how you change the world? Always work hard on something uncomfortably exciting!
我們的目標是組合全球的信息，使其隨手可得，隨處可用。那怎么能不讓大家興奮呢？但是我們那時幾乎啟動不成谷歌，因為我和聯合創始人謝爾蓋都太擔心拿不到博士學位。要是你覺得自己是暴風雨下人行道上的一條生丘蚓，那你很可能就真的走對路了。那就是我們刷爆了三張信用卡，從一輛貨車上買來硬盤后的感覺。那就是谷歌最早的硬件設備。家長和朋友們：多點信用卡總是有用的。如何用一句話總結你該如何改變世界，那就是在那些讓人極度興奮的事情上發奮努力吧！
As a PhD student, I actually had three projects I wanted to work on. Thank goodness my advisor said, "Why don't you work on the web for a while?" Technology and especially the Internet can really help you be lazy. Lazy? What I mean is a group of three people can write software that then millions can use and enjoy. Cao three people answer the phone a million times? Find the leverage in the world, so you can be truly lazy!
在我讀博士的時候，我有三個項目是想傲的。謝天謝地，我的導師對我說：“你為什么不先做會兒網絡的事呢？“科技，尤其是因特網真的能讓人變懶。變懶？我的意思是一個三人的小組可以寫出讓數百萬人喜歡使用的軟件程序。但三個人可以接上百萬次電話嗎？找到撬起地球的杠桿，你就真的變懶了！
Overall, I know it seems like the world is crumbling out there, but it is actually a great time in your life to get a little crazy, follow your curiosity, and be about it. Don't give up on your dream. The world needs you all!
總之，我知道這個世界看起來分崩離析，但這確實是你們人生中一個偉大的時代，你們可以瘋狂一點，追隨自己的好奇心，雄心勃勃地實現它。不要放棄你們的夢想。世界需要你們所有人！
