Alphabet的CEO Larry Page 是一个有着强烈野心驱动的人。作为Google的创始人之一，Larry Page目前担任Alphabet的CEO。尽管Google已经是世界上最具有创新能力的公司之一，他依旧对 Google的发展速度不满意。在Larry看来，像Google这样的公司理应带领人类的科技以10倍的速度发展。
那么，Larry的野心有多大呢？以下是他在各种场合说过的15句话，大家可以感受一下。
1.关于改变：“用一句话来总结你是怎么改变世界的？永远去做那些让你想到就燃到不行的事情！”
On making a difference: "What is the one-sentence summary of how you change the world? Always work hard on something uncomfortably exciting!"
2. 关于创造力和执行力：“只有创造力是不够的。尼古拉 · 特斯拉发明了电力，但是，他花了更大的力气才把电力这项发明推广出去。你必须把这两件事进行结合：发明和创新焦点，然后再加上一个能够让技术商业化、并推广到人们生活中的企业。”
On invention versus implementation: "Invention is not enough. [Nikola] Tesla invented the electric power we use, but he struggled to get it out to people. You have to combine both things: invention and innovation focus, plus the company that can commercialize things and get them to people."
3. 关于让Google的产品更美观：“我认为我们所做的工作中有很重要的艺术成分。作为一家技术公司，我必须强调这一点。”
On making Google products beautiful: "I do think there is an important artistic component in what we do. As a technology company I’ve tried to really stress that."
4.关于可能性和新闻报道：“这世界上有千千万万种不同的可能，而Google可能只完成了这些所有可能性的1％。尽管我们可以很快做出改变，但对比我们所拥有的机会，我们还是太慢了，我想大部分原因是消极。我读过的很多新闻报道都是拿Google和其他公司进行比较，这很无聊。作为Google，我们更应该专注于创造那些现在根本不存在的东西。”
On possibilities and press coverage: "We're at maybe 1% of what is possible. Despite the faster change, we're still moving slow relative to the opportunities we have. I think a lot of that is because of the negativity... Every story I read is Google versus someone else. That's boring. We should be focusing on building the things that don't exist."
5.关于什么才是重要的事情：“许多公司不会随着时间的推移而取得成功，本质上他们在哪里出了错？因为他们通常会错过未来。我试着集中精力思考：未来究竟是什么样的？我们会如何创造未来？我们怎样才能使公司真正专注于未来，并真的推动它高速地发展？”
On what's important: "Lots of companies don’t succeed over time. What do they fundamentally do wrong? They usually miss the future. I try to focus on that: What is the future really going to be? And how do we create it? And how do we power our organization to really focus on that and really drive it at a high rate?"
6.关于机器人取代人类的工作：“有些人认为在未来每个人都像奴隶一样去努力干活才能在机器人面前保住自己的工作。在我看来这种观点完全是无稽之谈。”
On robots replacing humans: "The idea that everyone should slavishly work so they do something inefficiently so they keep their job — that just doesn’t make any sense to me. That can’t be the right answer."
7.关于金钱：“如果我们创立Google的初衷是为了钱，那很久以前我们就会卖掉公司，然后在沙滩上晒晒太阳度过余生。”
On using money as a motivation: "If we were motivated by money, we would have sold the company a long time ago and ended up on a beach."
8.关于CEO的职责：“作为领导者，我的工作是确保公司中的每个人都有很好的机会，他们能为社会做出有利贡献并对社会创造有价值的影响。对于Google来说，我们的目标应该是引领这个潮流而不是追随这个潮流。”
On being CEO: "My job as a leader is to make sure everybody in the company has great opportunities, and that they feel they're having a meaningful impact and are contributing to the good of society. As a world, we're doing a better job of that. My goal is for Google to lead, not follow that."
9.关于决定做什么：“我们希望构建每个人都喜欢使用的技术，并且真正的影响到我们的用户。我们想创造完美、直观的服务和技术。并且，这个技术需要非常有用，人们能够每天至少使用它们两次，就像每天用牙刷一样。很少会有让人们每天要使用两次的东西。”
On deciding what to work on: "We want to build technology that everybody loves using, and that affects everyone. We want to create beautiful, intuitive services and technologies that are so incredibly useful that people use them twice a day. Like they use a toothbrush. There aren't that many things people use twice a day."
10.关于和绝顶聪明的工程师合作：“你的经理拥有丰富的知识，这对激发你的积极性有很大的帮助，我就很善于激发别人的积极性。”
On working with super-smart engineers: "Deep knowledge from your manager goes a long way toward motivating you. And I have a pretty good capability for that."
11.关于谷歌的理念VS苹果的理念：“我曾经与乔布斯进行过辩论，他总是说，”你们做了太多的东西。”乔布斯只做了一两件事，并且把这两件事做得很好，而我们希望通过做更多的事情对世界产生更大的影响。”
On Google's philosophy versus Apple's: "I used to have this debate with Steve Jobs, and he would always say, 'You guys are doing too much stuff.' He did a good job of doing one or two things really well. We'd like to have a bigger impact on the world by doing more things."
12.硅谷更加关注“科技消费品”而不是“突破性技术”：“你可以做一个有10个人的互联网公司，然后拥有数十亿的用户，它并不需要太多的资本却能赚很多钱。所以大家都关注这些事情是很正常的。”
On Silicon Valley's focus on consumer tech instead of "breakthrough technologies": "You can make an internet company with 10 people and it can have billions of users. It doesn't take much capital and it makes a lot of money — a really, really lot of money — so it's natural for everyone to focus on those kinds of things."
13.关于Google缓存的力量：“我们确实受益于这样一个事实：一旦我们说要做，那么人们就相信我们可以做，因为我们有资源。”
On the power of Google's cache: "We do benefit from the fact that once we say we're going to do it, people believe we can do it, because we have the resources. Google helps in that way: There aren't many funding mechanisms like that."
14.关于不断增长的Alphabet：“我想为拥有大量资源的创新公司挖掘一切可能。”
On growing Alphabet: "I want to push the envelope for what's possible for an innovative company with large resources."
15.关于移动互联网：“我们认为直到现在，计算机还是一个比较糟糕的产品。为什么这么说呢？比如每天你会在你的手机屏幕上来回滑，就为了找到你想找的那个app。这种感觉就好比是你虽然坐上了一辆车，但是这是一辆非常颠簸而且不舒服的车。我认为，时至今日，你从电脑中获取的知识的效率还是比较低下的。所以，我认为我们的工作应该是解决这个问题。从这个角度考虑的话，我们做的大多数事情都是非常有意义的。
On Google's mobile ambitions: "We feel like right now, computers are still pretty bad. You're just messing around. You're scrolling on your touchscreen phone, and trying to find stuff. You're in a car. It's bouncy, and you can't — it doesn't really work. I think the actual amount of knowledge you get out of your computer versus the amount of time you spend with it is still pretty bad. So I think our job is to solve that, and most of the things we're doing make sense in that context."
