1. We're here to put a dent in the universe. Otherwise why else even be here?活著就是為了改變世界，難道還有其他原因嗎？2. Be a yardstick of quality. Some people aren't used to an environment where excellence is expected.成為卓越的代名詞，很多人并不能適合需要杰出素質(zhì)的環(huán)境。3. Innovation distinguishes between a leader and a follower.領(lǐng)袖和跟風(fēng)者的區(qū)別就在于創(chuàng)新。4. You know, we don't grow most of the food we eat. We wear clothes other people make. We speak a language that other people developed. We use a mathematics that other people evolved... I mean, we're constantly taking things. It's a wonderful, ecstatic feeling to create something that puts it back in the pool of human experience and knowledge.并不是每個人都需要種植自己的糧食，也不是每個人都需要做自己穿的衣服，我們說著別人發(fā)明的語言，使用別人發(fā)明的數(shù)學(xué)……我們一直在使用別人的成果。使用人類的已有經(jīng)驗和知識來進(jìn)行發(fā)明創(chuàng)造是一件很了不起的事情。”5. There's a phrase in Buddhism, 'Beginner's mind.' It's wonderful to have a beginner's mind.佛教中有一句話：初學(xué)者的心態(tài)；擁有初學(xué)者的心態(tài)是件了不起的事情。6. We think basically you watch television to turn your brain off, and you work on your computer when you want to turn your brain on.我們認(rèn)為看電視的時候，人的大腦基本停止工作，打開電腦的時候，大腦才開始運轉(zhuǎn)。7. I'm the only person I know that's lost a quarter of a billion dollars in one year... It's very character-building.我是我所知道的唯一一個在一年中失去2.5億美元的人……這對我的成長很有幫助。8. I would trade all of my technology for an afternoon with Socrates.我愿意用我所有的科技去換取和蘇格拉底相處的一個下午。9. The only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it.成就一番偉業(yè)的唯一途徑就是熱愛自己的事業(yè)。如果你還沒能找到讓自己熱愛的事業(yè)，繼續(xù)尋找，不要放棄。跟隨自己的心，總有一天你會找到的。10. Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of other's opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.你的時間有限，所以不要為別人而活。不要被教條所限，不要活在別人的觀念里。不要讓別人的意見左右自己內(nèi)心的聲音。最重要的是，勇敢的去追隨自己的心靈和直覺，只有自己的心靈和直覺才知道你自己的真實想法，其他一切都是次要。
