在整个过程中,我都有一种近似疯狂的紧迫感。我不断地向前推动它,但你能做的也就是用力推动它而已。我给自己设定了一个时间线,但由于无法满足它,因此我经常感到失望。但是在与发明过新技术的人聊天时,他们会说:“天哪,你用了两年就把它做出来了?时间短得令人难以置信。”在我看来,我们花的时间像恐龙时代一样漫长,不过对于那些真正经历过发明创造的人来说,他们会觉得这个过程已经很快了。但是这个过程痛苦死了。人们会过来问我们的进展,但是光要解释哪个流程要花这么长时间,就得花上几个小时。
Was that frustrating?
这个过程令人沮丧吗?
Of course. And the other thing is that throughout the process, I always thought, “Okay, it’s going to work in three months. We’ve got this great new idea to make this transducer function.” So instead of giving someone an update I’d say I’ll tell you in one month. But then we’d fail, and then we’d say we will make a certain change, and then it will work, and that happened about five times. It took about three months to make each change. It was extraordinarily expensive every single time we wanted to make a change to the device. And the lag time was mind-boggling. When you fail five times but you take tiny steps forward each time, it keeps you going. You can stay positive because there’s still light at the end of the tunnel. But at the same time, it really wears you down. You constantly have to think, “Okay, so if this next option doesn’t work, what will we do?” And you just can’t stop until you accomplish your goal. What really kept me going through the entire process was, “Even though this is so hard, it’s still possible.” And I knew that if it was still possible, I had to do it, because it would be so huge. I know that if I was working on something smaller, or something that I didn’t believe could make such an impact on the world then I wouldn’t have been able to keep going through those times.
