In the early days of Microsoft, Bill Gates came up with a vastly better mission: a computer onevery desk and in every home. There was no windy nonsense about planets, nor any tiresometalk of empowering. Best of all, it was precise. The main problem with the new mission is not itsgrandiosity but its emptiness. Achieve more what? On this vital question, Mr Nadella is silent.

在微软的早期，比尔•盖茨(Bill Gates)提出过一个棒得多的使命：让每张办公桌上和每个家庭都有一台电脑。他的使命中没有关于行星的无稽之谈，也没有关于赋予人们能力的无聊言辞。最棒的是，盖茨的使命很具体。新使命的主要问题不在于它的夸张，而在于它的空洞。成就更多什么?在这个至关重要的问题上，纳德拉保持了沉默。

Indeed, the best way to empower people on the planet to achieve more would be topersuade them to love their mobile devices a little less and turn them off occasionally and geton with something real instead.

事实上，要赋予这个星球上的人们成就更多的能力，最好的方法是劝说他们稍微减少对移动设备的沉迷，偶尔关掉它们，回归现实生活。

Not content with announcing his new mission, Mr Nadella empowers himself to achieve stillmore: “Today I want to share more on the overall context and connective tissue between ourmission, worldview, strategy and culture.
