In my twenties, I didn’t believe in vacations. I didn’t believe in weekends. They told me I had tohave a board of directors meeting, so I said come in on Saturday morning.

20多岁时，我不看重假期。我不看重周末。他们告诉我，我必须召开一次董事会会议，所以我就说，周六上午开吧。

I am not as fanatical as I was in my twenties and early-thirties. I focused on one thing, whichwas building a great software company, night and day. I knew the licence plates of all myemployees cars. I could tell you when they came into work, when they left work.

现在，我不像20多岁和30岁出头的时候那么极端了。过去我只关注一件事，那就是昼夜不舍地打造一家伟大的软件公司。我那时知道所有员工汽车的车牌号。我能说出他们是什么时候来上班，什么时候下班。

As you get older, I don’t know anyone who maintains that kind of intensity. Now I have familyand friends. I believe in vacations and weekends, not quite at the European level.

随着年龄的增长，我不知道谁能一直保持着那种狂热状态。现在我有家人和朋友。我很看重假期和周末，不过看重程度比不上欧洲人。
