麦很平凡,就像是乡间田头的小土块;每日仰望蓝天,难免也有叹息。。。

从google的故事里可以学到的。。。

gmail的webclip现在可以订阅中文信息了,刚添加就看到了这些佳句,充满睿智,简洁有力,是励志同时也是汲取英文知识的好东东。
你能从Google(谷歌)的成功故事里学到的14条
——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)
——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)
——Do focus on changing the world, don’t focus on the money. If you provide , the money will come. (专注于正在变化的世界,而不要盯着金钱;如果你提供了,金钱自然而来)
——Have a healthy disregard for the impossible. If someone hasn’t done it yet, that doesn’t mean it’s impossible.(理性地藐视不可能的事。没人能成功做过,并不意味着它是不可能的)
——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)
——creativity, not money. View creativity as your company’s true bottom-line, or your company will stop growing and die. (重视创造,而不只重视金钱。要是创造为你公司真正的底线,不然你的公司将停止发展,甚至灭亡)
——Go against the grain. Don’t believe in other people’s visions for you, believe in your own. (对抗迟疑。不要在后别人看你的眼光,相信你自己。)
——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,是不能那给人好印象的,这同样适用于软件)
——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。不要浪费金钱耗在你的小店所不需要的产品广告上)
——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,不要只是为了赚钱而让你的用户不便,用户是不会忘记你所对他的干扰。)
——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)
——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%的时间在无价值的想法上,不要担心这些无价值的想法如何获得利润。如果它能让世界变得更好,即使不能赚钱也要做。)
——Don’t make enemies of your competitors to stay driven. Be driven by your own s and mission. (不要在追赶中让你的竞争者们变成敌人。而要对你所拥有的和使命赛跑)
——Beat your own path through the wilderness.(在荒野中打出自己的路。)
