今天我们继续聆听甲骨文公司(Oracle)创始人拉里·埃里森(Larry Ellison)的演讲。
曾经他努力满足家人的期待,后来他觉醒了,意识到最不能辜负的人是他自己。于是开始寻找自己热爱并能创造收入的工作。 尝试多项工作,他决定自己创业,创造那份自己热爱的工作。于是,甲骨文公司诞生了。唯有热爱,方能抵御岁月漫长。

Do what you truly love听力原文
But this time, I was not disappointed in myself for failing to be the person they thought I should be.

Their dreams and my dreams were different. I would never confuse the two of them again. Throughout my 20s, I continued experimenting, trying different things, racing bikes and boats and constantly changing jobs.
他们的梦想,和我的梦想,是不一样的,我再也不会混淆这两者。在二十多岁这段时光里,我不断试验,尝试不同的事情,骑自行车,划船,不断更换工作。
I searched and I searched, but I just could not find a software engineering job thought that I loved as much as I loved sailing. So, I tried to create one.
这些年里,我找了很久,都没有一份编程工作能让我感受到向对帆船运动那样的热爱。所以,我尝试自己创造一份这样的工作。
My goal was to create the perfect job for me, a job I truly loved. I never expected the company to grow beyond 50 people, so, maybe I really did lack ambition or vision back then.
我的目标,就是为自己打造一份完美的工作,一份我真心热爱的工作。我从来没想过,我的公司规模会超过50人。所以,也许,当时我确实是没多大野心,也没什么远见。

如今,我们公司有十五万员工。但是,在创业初期,我没有想过要把公司做得这么大。
