'Jeff, what does Day 2 look like?' 'Day 2 is stasis. Followed by irrelevance. Followed by excruciating, painful decline. Followed by death. And that is why it is always Day 1.'

‘杰夫，第二天是什么样子的？’‘第二天是停滞。然后是无关紧要。然后是痛苦的衰退。然后是死亡。这就是为什么我们总是在第一天。’确实，这种衰退会以极其缓慢的速度发生。一个成熟的公司可能会收割第二天几十年，但最终结果仍然会到来。

我们会死。那可能是生命的意义。但我们创造语言。那可能是衡量我们生命的标准。
