Zuora创始人兼首席执行官成功三分靠自身七分靠环境

2. Which area of technology excites you most?

2. 哪个科技领域最让你激动？

If I were to start a company today, it would definitely be a mobile-only application. I look at the way my kids interact with technology. My 4-year-old’s ability to use smart phones and tablets far, far exceeds her ability to use a computer. The future is going to be these devices. It’s hard for those of us who are adults to imagine what will happen if we don’t have devices with keyboards anymore, but that’s where innovation is going and that’s where technology is going to be in five years.

如果现在让我去组建公司，那一定会是一家纯粹的移动应用开发商。我观察过我的孩子们和科技的互动。我女儿今年4岁，使用智能手机和平板电脑的能力远远超过电脑。未来属于这些产品。我们这些大人很难想象如果这些东西没了键盘会出现什么样的情况，但这恰恰是创新的方向，也是今后五年科技的发展方向。

3. What advice would you give to someone who wants to do what you do?

3. 如果有人希望像你一样干一番事业，你对他们有什么建议？

People think that success and innovation comes like a flash. You’re Isaac Newton, and you’re sitting below a tree. An apple falls on your head and boom: You have all these ideas about physics. Or you’re sitting around your house and have the idea for Dropbox, and the next thing you know it’s worth $1 billion. People seem to look for that “flash,” and it doesn’t work like that. We’ve all been with some friends, perhaps sitting around a diner, saying how about this idea, or that idea, and they’re hoping that during the course of a meal, they’ll come up with the next Dropbox. It just doesn’t work like that. You have to go and pursue an idea, and you have to work it out. It takes a long time. You plod away at something, and you try to go deep, immerse yourself, and learn. You try to take these leaps, and eventually, you hit upon your breakthrough.
