無論開始時有多少絕妙的主意，我一直覺得團隊的合作就像是…
When I was a young kid, there was a widowed man lived up the street.
我小時候，街上住著一位獨居老人
And he was in his eighties, he was a little scary looking, and I got to know him a little bit...
他大概80歲，看上去兇巴巴的，我認識他
I think he might pay me for cutting mow his lawn or something …
我想讓他雇我幫他修剪草坪
One day he said "come along to my garage, I want to show you something."
有一天他說"到我車庫來，我給你看點東西
And he pulled out his dusty old rock tumbler,
他拖出一臺布滿灰塵的磨石機
that was a motor and a coffee can and a little band between them,
一邊是馬達，一邊是研磨罐，用皮帶連著
and he said "come out with me",
他說"跟我來"
we went out to the back, and we got some just rocks,
我們到屋后撿了些很普通的石頭
some regular old ugly rocks, and we put them in the can with a little bit of liquid and a little bit of grits powder,
我們把石頭倒進研磨罐，加上溶劑和沙礫
and we closed the can up and he turned this motor on, and he said, "come back tomorrow".

err... the same common stones that go in through rubbing against each other like this,
看上去普普通通的石頭就像這樣互相磨擦著
creating a little bit of friction, creating a little bit of noise, had come out these beautiful polished rocks.
互相碰撞，發出噪音，最終變成了光滑美麗的石頭
And that's always been in my mind that, my metaphor for a team working really hard on something they're passionate about.
我一直用這件事比喻竭盡全力工作的團隊
It's that through the team, through that group of incredibly talented people bumping up against each other,
正是通過團隊合作，通過這些精英的相互碰撞
having arguments, having fights sometimes, making some noise, and working together they polish each other.
通過辯論、對抗、爭吵、合作，相互打磨
and they polish the ideas, and what comes out are these really beautiful stones.
磨礪彼此的想法，才能創造出美麗的"石頭
