What can we learn from the battle between data and design? What can we learn from the relationship between Google and Apple? Clearly no one school of thought is right: Apple and Google are both wildly successful and profitable companies that changed the world.
我们能从数据和设计之间的斗争中学到什么?我们可以从谷歌和苹果的关系中学到什么?显然,没有哪个学派的观点是正确的:苹果和谷歌都是非常成功且盈利丰厚的公司,它们改变了世界。
When I was a little boy in short pants, I dreamed about a miraculous ointment that would make me invisible. Then I became an adult, began to write, and wanted to be successful. Now I'm successful and would like to have the ointment that would make me invisible.
当我还是个穿短裤的小男孩时,我梦想着一种神奇的药膏,能让我隐形。然后我长大了,开始写作,想要成功。现在我成功了,我想要一种能让我隐形的药膏。
I was endorsed by many corporations to work with their people. Since I had several hundred successful case histories, I realized that it was really valuable and everybody should have access to the information, so I started teaching seminars to groups of people.
我得到许多公司的支持,与他们的员工一起工作。因为我有几百个成功的案例,我意识到它真的很有价值,每个人都应该有机会获得这些信息,所以我开始给一群人讲授研讨会。
By giving the public a rich and full melody, distinctly arranged and well played, all the time creating new tone colors and patterns, I feel we have a better chance of being successful. I want a kick to my band, but I don't want the rhythm to hog the spotlight.
通过给公众一个丰富和完整的旋律,明确的安排和良好的发挥,一直创造新的色调和模式,我觉得我们有更好的机会成功。我想给我的乐队一脚踢,但我不想让节奏占据聚光灯。
All the work that I do, whether or not it ends up being commercially successful or not, feels like the most important thing to me while I'm doing it. I try to take something away from every project, and so they all feel like milestones for one reason or another.

A successful society is characterized by a rising living standard for its population, increasing investment in factories and basic infrastructure, and the generation of additional surplus, which is invested in generating new discoveries in science and technology.

I think that lawyers are terrible at admitting that they're wrong. And not just admitting it; also realizing it. Most lawyers are very successful, and they think that because they're making money and people think well of them, they must be doing everything right.
我认为律师不善于承认自己的错误。不仅仅是承认;也意识到这一点。大多数律师都非常成功,他们认为,因为他们在赚钱,人们对他们评价很高,所以他们必须把每件事都做对。
Action is a great restorer and builder of confidence. Inaction is not only the result, but the cause, of fear. Perhaps the action you take will be successful; perhaps different action or adjustments will have to follow. But any action is better than no action at all.
行动能极大地恢复和建立信心。无所作为不仅是恐惧的结果,而且是恐惧的原因。也许你所采取的行动会成功;或许接下来必须采取不同的行动或做出调整。但是任何行动都比什么都不做要好。
I believe that successfully addressing our national security needs while protecting our basic freedoms and civil liberties requires continual Congressional oversight, and I will continue to work to assert the role of this body in carrying out this grave responsibility.

It's kind of a tradition that you get a rookie, put him in the middle, wrap your arms and legs around him, then douse him with everything you can get a hold of - shaving cream, ketchup, mustard, everything. It's kind of like a pie in the face after a guy is successful.
这是一种传统,你找一个新手,把他放在中间,用胳膊和腿抱住他,然后把你能弄到的所有东西都浇在他身上——刮胡膏,番茄酱,芥末,所有的东西。这有点像一个人成功后脸上的馅饼。
I don't think that was too successful. Because I always thought that the two of them should have been more separate. Also I had planned the monorail station to be in the center. So that one day you would have go to World Showcase and then the other day to Future World.
我不认为这太成功了。因为我一直认为他们两个应该分开。我还计划把单轨车站建在市中心。所以有一天你要去世界展示会,另一天你要去未来世界。
I was aware that there is an expectation that writers inevitably falter at this stage, that they fail to live up to the promise of their first successful book, that the next book never pleases the way the prior one did. It simply increased my sense of being challenged.
我意识到有一种期待,作家们在这个阶段不可避免地会踌躇不前,他们无法实现自己第一本书成功的承诺,下一本书永远不会像前一本书那样让人满意。它只是增加了我被挑战的感觉。
KEEP EXPLORING

Over time, a successful company will acquire much in the way of resources and momentum, and these things often insulate it from reality once it has stopped being successful.

The first stage in a technology's advance is that it'll fall below a critical price. After it falls below a critical price, it will tend, if it's successful, to rise above a critical mass, a penetration.
