蘋果以前有一條廣告:
that the personal computer was the bicycle of mind,
計(jì)算機(jī)是思想的自行車
and I believe that with every bone in my body, that of all the inventions of humans, the computer is going to rank near, if not at the top, as history unfolds if we look back, and it is the most awesome tool that we ever invented,
我堅(jiān)信如果將來回顧人類歷史,計(jì)算機(jī)將是人類最偉大的發(fā)明之一
and I feel incredibly lucky to be at exactly the right place in silicon valley, at exactly the right time, historically where this invention has taken form.
我覺得自己非常幸運(yùn),在硅谷參與這項(xiàng)發(fā)明
As you know when you set vector off in space,
這就好比畫幾何向量
if you can change direction a little bit at the beginning, it's dramatic when it gets few miles on space,
開始時(shí)失之毫厘,結(jié)果會(huì)謬以千里
and I feel we are still really at the beginning of that vector,
我們剛剛起步
and if we can nudge it into right directions, it would be a much better thing as progresses on.
只要找對(duì)方向,以后就會(huì)非常順利
And I look, you know we had the chance to do that a few times, and it brings all of us associated with tremendous satisfaction.
我們已經(jīng)嘗試了幾次,結(jié)果讓人非常滿意。
And how do you know what's the right direction?
你怎么知道哪個(gè)方向是正確的?
You know ultimately it comes down to taste, it comes down to taste,
最終得由你的品味來決定
it comes down to trying to expose yourself to the best things that humans have done,
你要熟悉人類在各種領(lǐng)域的優(yōu)秀成果
and try to bring these things in to what you are doing.
嘗試把它們運(yùn)用到你的工作里
Picasso had a saying "good artists copy, great artists steal",
畢加索說過:拙工抄,巧匠盜
