Like you are in New York city, you get an average Taxi cab driver versus the best Taxi cab driver,
好比說紐約的出租車司機(jī)
you know you would probably get to your destination with the best cab maybe 30% faster, you know in automobile.
最棒的司機(jī)與普通司機(jī)之間的差距大概是30%,
What's the difference between an average and the best? Maybe, I don't know 20%?
最好與普通之間的差距有多大呢?20%?
The best CD player and an average CD player, I don't know, 20%?
最棒的CD機(jī)與普通CD機(jī)的差距有多大?20%?
2 to 1 is a big..big dynamic range in most life.

In software, and it used to be the case with hardware too. The difference between average and the best is 15 to 1, maybe a 100 to 1, Okay?
但是在軟件行業(yè),還有硬件行業(yè),這種差距有可能超過15倍,甚至100倍
Very few things in life are like this.
這種現(xiàn)象很罕見
But what I was lucky enough to spend my life in, is like this,

我的成功得益于我發(fā)現(xiàn)了許多才華橫溢、不甘平庸的人才
They really like working with each other, because they never had a chance to do that before,
而且我發(fā)現(xiàn)只要召集到五個這樣的人,他們就會喜歡上彼此合作的感覺,前所未有的感覺
