54. Be Crazy about Your Dream

54. 為你的夢想而瘋狂

I think it is often easier to make progress on mega-ambitious dreams. I know that sounds completely nuts. But, since no one else is crazy enough to do it, you have little competition. There are so few people this crazy that I feel like I know them all by first name. They all travel as if they are pack dogs and stick to each other like glue. The best people want to work the big challenges. That is what happened with Google. Our mission is to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible: and useful. How can that not get you excited ? But we almost didn't start Google because my co-founder Sergey and I were too worried about dropping out of our Ph.D. program.

我認為，實現(xiàn)雄心勃勃的夢想更為容易，我知道這聽起來是一派胡言。既然沒有人能瘋狂到做這件事情，你也不可能完成。很少有人這么瘋狂，而這些人的名字我們都知道。他們勇敢前行，彼此吸引。最優(yōu)秀的人就希望挑戰(zhàn)。這就是谷歌所面臨的。我們的使命就是組織全球的信息，使其隨手可得，隨處可用。這難道不會讓大家興奮嗎?但是我們真的不想啟動谷歌，因為我和聯(lián)合創(chuàng)始人Sergey都太擔(dān)心拿不到博士學(xué)位。

You are probably on the right track if you feel like a sidewalk worm during a rainstorm! That is about how we felt after we maxed out three credit cards buying hard disks off the back of a truck. That was the first hardware for Google. What is the one sentence summary of how you change the world? Always work hard on something uncomfortably exciting!

如果你感覺自己像是暴風(fēng)雨中人行道上的拯蚓，那么你很可能走上了一條正確的道路。這就是我們刷爆了三張信用卡，從一輛敞篷貨車中買了硬盤后的感覺。這也是谷歌最早的硬件。如果用一句話總結(jié)，如何改變世界，那就是在某種極度興奮的事業(yè)上發(fā)奮努力。

Overall, I know it seems like the world is crumbling out there, but it is actually a great time in your life to get a little crazy, follow your curiosity, and be ambitious about it Don't give up on your dreams. The world needs you all!

總而言之，我知道這個世界看起來已支離破碎，但這是一個偉大的時代，在你的一生中可以瘋狂些，追隨你的好奇心，積極進取。不要放棄你的夢想。世界需要你們。
