A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
创新
Innovation
Most of us do more than subsist. From the vantage point of our ancestors, we live lives of almost unimaginable ease. Here again, we have innovation to thank.

You have to train people how to be business innovators. If you don't train them, the quality of the ideas that you get in an innovation marketplace is not likely to be high.

The metaphor is perhaps one of man's most fruitful potentialities. Its efficacy verges on magic, and it seems a tool for creation which God forgot inside one of His creatures when He made him.
这个比喻也许是人类最有成效的潜能之一。它的功效接近于魔法，它似乎是上帝创造的一种工具，上帝在创造他的时候就把它遗忘在了他的一个创造物里面。
So, I think the output of our innovation is great. We have a culture of self-improvement. I know we can continue to improve. There is no issue. But at the same time, our absolute level of output is fantastic.

I cannot help fearing that men may reach a point where they look on every new theory as a danger, every innovation as a toilsome trouble, every social advance as a first step toward revolution, and that they may absolutely refuse to move at all.
我不禁担心，人们可能会把每一种新理论都看成是一种危险，把每一项创新都看成是一种辛苦的麻烦，把每一项社会进步都看成是走向革命的第一步，而他们可能会完全拒绝前进。
We can believe that we know where the world should go. But unless we're in touch with our customers, our model of the world can diverge from reality. There's no substitute for innovation, of course, but innovation is no substitute for being in touch, either.
我们可以相信我们知道世界应该走向何方。但是，除非我们与客户保持联系，否则我们的世界模型可能会偏离现实。当然，创新是无法替代的，但创新也无法替代保持联系。
