We want to build technology that everybody loves using, and that affects everyone. We want to create beautiful, intuitive services and technologies that are so incredibly useful that people use them twice a day. Like they use a toothbrush. There aren’t that many things people use twice a day.
我们想要创造一种让人心甘情愿被其影响的技术。我们想要创造出美好的、体贴的服务和技术,它们一定要足够实用,实用到人们每天使用它们两次。就像他们使用牙刷一样。并没有多特别,就是人们每天要使用两次。
Habit is far more dependable than inspiration. Make progress by making habits. Don‘t focus on getting into shape. Focus on becoming the kind of person who never misses a workout.
现在,无论是左倾还是右倾的政治人物,都同意“功绩主义”是个好事。我们应该尽力让我们的社会崇尚“功绩主义”,换句话说,一个崇尚“功绩主义”的社会是什么样的呢?一个崇尚功绩主义的社会相信,如果你有才能、精力和技术,你就会飞黄腾达,没有什么能阻止你,这是个美好的想法。
做出伟大工作的唯一方法就是热爱你所做的事情。
