从Google(谷歌)的成功故事里学到的14条

1.Connections - human, computer, biology - are everything. Life = networks.
(人、电脑、生物,所有的一切事物都是连接的,生命就是网络)

2.Never compromise your ideals because someone said it’s impossible, stupid, or a waste of time.
(不要因为有人说你的理想是不可能实现、愚蠢的、浪费时间而放弃的理想)

3.Do focus on changing the world, don’t focus on the money. If you provide , the money will come.
(专注于改变世界,而不要盯着金钱;如果你提供了服务,金钱自然会来)

4.Have a healthy disregard for the impossible. If someone hasn’t done it yet, that doesn’t mean it’s impossible.
(没人做成功过的事,并不意味着它是不可能成功)

5.Money is a problem, not a solution. Money cannot solve your problems, but your solutions can solve the money problem.
(金钱是个问题,而不是解决方案。金钱不能解决你所有的问题,但你的解决方案能够解决你金钱的问题)

6.creativity, not money. View creativity as your company’s true bottom-line, or your company will stop growing and die.
(重视创造能力,而不只重视金钱。创造能力才是为你公司真正的底线,不然你的公司将停止发展,甚至灭亡)

7.Go against the grain. Don’t believe in other people’s visions for you, believe in your own.
(对抗迟疑。不要相信别人对你的期盼,相信你自己的。)

8.Speed is more important than looking good. A shiny, beautiful car isn’t impressive when it gets overtaken by an old jalopy; the same applies to software.
(速度比好看更为重要。一台闪耀漂亮的汽车被一台破旧车追上时,是不能给人好印象的,这同样适用于软件)

9.Organic growth is best. Only grow as fast as you need to, don’t waste money on advertising a product you won’t want your mom to use.
(良性发展是最好的。只按你所要的速度发展。不要浪费金钱在你不需要的产品广告上)

10.Focus on users above all else, e.g. don’t do something that might annoy your users just to make more money, they won’t forget.
(用户至上原则,比如,不要为了赚更多的钱而让你的用户不便,用户是不会忘记你所对他的干扰。)

11.Never betray users’ trust, or anyone else’s.
(决不背叛用户对你的信任,或任何人其他的信任)

12.Spend 20% of your time on blue-sky ideas without worrying about how they will make a profit. If it might change the world for the better, it needs to be done, even if it can’t make money.
(花20%的时间在无价的想法上,不要担心这些无价的想法如何获得利润。如果它能让世界变得更美好,即使不能赚钱也要做。)

13.Don’t make enemies of your competitors to stay driven. Be driven by your owns and mission.
(不要在竟争中让你的竞争者们变成敌人。要相信使命)

14.Beat your own path through the wilderness.
(在荒野中打出自己的路。)
