我给大家讲个追梦的故事，确切地说是一个将梦想变为现实的故事。
You know what it's like,to wake up in the middle of the night with a vivid dream?And you knowhow, if you don't have a pencil and pad by the bed it will be completely gone by the nextmorning.I had one of those dreams when I was 23.When I suddenly woke up, I wasthinking:what if we could download the whole web,and just keep the links and… I grabbed a penand started writing!Sometimes it is important to wake up and stop dreaming.I spent the middleof that night scribbling out the details and convincing myself it would work.
想想看：午夜你从美梦中醒来，然后躺下接着睡回笼觉，第二天早上准会把昨晚的美梦忘个精光。我23岁时，就做过这样的美梦。我猛然惊醒，想把所有的网络内容下载下来，通过链接的方式保存。于是，我抓起笔就开始写。还好我把握住机会，从梦里及时醒来，花了一整晚研究出实现方案，自信满满。
Soon after, I told my advisor, Terry Winograd,it would take a couple of weeks for me todownload the web -he nodded knowingly, fully aware it would take much longer but wiseenough to not tell me.The optimism of youth is often underrated!Amazingly, at that time,I hadno thought of building a search engine.The idea wasn't even on the radar.Much later wehappened upon a better way of rankingand we made a really great search engine,and Googlewas born.When a really great dream shows up, grab it!When I was here at Michigan,I hadactually been taught how to make dreams real!
我对导师Terry Winograd说：下载整个网络需要几周时间。他点点头，其实心里清楚需要更久。但他很明智，没打击我。年轻人的激情不可小视!不过那时，创造一个搜索引擎，对我而言是天方夜谭。我从没动过这个念头。很久以后，我们偶然找到了更好的排序方式。做出了一级棒的搜索引擎，谷歌就这么诞生了。所以，当梦想闪现时，抓住它吧!我在这儿念书时，曾学过如何梦想成真。
I know it sounds funny,but that is what I learned in a summer camp converted into a trainingprogram called Leadershape.Yes, we've got a few out there.Their slogan is to have a "healthydisregard for the impossible".That program encouraged me to pursue a crazy idea at thetime.I wanted to build a personal rapid transit system on campus to replace the buses.Yeah,you're still working on that I hear.It was a futuristic way of solving our transportationproblem.I still think a lot about transportation you never lose a dream, it just incubates as ahobby.Many things that people labor hard to do now,like cooking, cleaning, and driving willrequire much less human time in the future.That is, if we "have a healthy disregardfor theimpossible and actually build new solutions.
听起来有点扯，但我确实从 "塑造领导力"夏令营中得到了启发。看，真的有人参加过的吧。我们的口号是“世上无难事只怕有心人“!我们被要求去实现自己看似疯狂的梦想。我想建立个人快速交通系统来替代公交，我知道你们还在研究。没准是今后解决交通问题的好方法。我时不时还在考虑交通问题，梦想不会消失，会变成习惯!我们现在花费精力做的事情，比如做饭、打扫、开车，今后占用的时间会越来越少，这不是天方夜谭。世上无难事，只怕有心人!
