????6.你在學校學到的最重要的東西是什么？

????學習的意義在于找到恰當的提問方式。知道怎么去得到正確答案和掌握正確答案同樣重要。我可以給你具體講一下我在大學里深受啟發的一件事。當時我學的是世界政治，而且那時冷戰還沒有結束。戈爾巴喬夫還沒有上臺。教我們的教授走進教室后說：“假設你們是美國總統，我是國務卿。我走進你的辦公室說，‘總統，導彈已經發射，您要我做什么？’”大多數學生都回答說：“我們進庇護所吧。”也有學生說：“發射導彈反擊。”但教授所說的實際上是美國試射了導彈，而國務卿只是想讓總統知道這件事。正確的答案是，總統會問：“什么導彈？對誰發射了導彈？”這就是要學會去問正確的問題，而不是掌握正確的答案。要是按學生們的想法，班里有一半的人已經發動了核戰爭。

????7. 無論是個人方面的，還是職業方面的，你終生追求的人生目標是什么？

????我在高中為自己設立了大多數人生目標，包括經濟上變得獨立，成家，讓自己的孩子去尋找生命的價值和意義，跟歌手布魯斯?斯普林斯汀見上一面，以及盡量多地去看他的演唱會。

????在目前這個人生階段，我和妻子不光以自己的希望和幸福為目標，孩子們的希望和幸福也是我們的目標，二者同樣重要。因此，在工作以外，我們關注的重點是確保孩子們在發展自己的興趣愛好時得到恰當的支持。我還不知道他們將來會變成什么樣的人，但我希望他們有能力也有熱情去追逐自己的夢想。我非常確信他們會這樣做，因為他們的媽媽已經和他們一起做了非常了不起的事。對我個人來說，他們做什么比我自己做什么更讓我感興趣。我只是希望，不管我做什么都能給人們的生活帶來價值。

????8. 最近你讀了哪本書？

????最近我看了《向前一步》（Lean In）。這是謝麗爾?桑德伯格在某個星期天送給我的。她告訴我說，我必須當天就看，然后做出評價。要是謝麗爾提出了什么要求，你就得照辦。

????不過，我讀這本書的真正原因是，我覺得CEO必須得看看它，作為女兒們的父親也必須得看。這本書極有力量。女性占美國人口和美國大學生人數的50%以上。現在大家都應該充分認識到這一點。我為她的勇氣喝彩。我覺得這本書很棒，而且當時我沒有意識到它會引起這么大的反應。謝麗爾有勇氣寫出這本書，有勇氣堅持書中的觀點，也有勇氣就這本書和人們進行溝通，這樣的勇氣不同凡響。它對我個人以及我做出的決定也有很大的實質性影響。

????9. 你在生活中離不開那一項技術？

????空調是我這個時代最偉大的發明，我非常贊同這句話。沒有空調我就活不了。小時候我們家的公寓里沒有空調。有了空調后，我的感覺就是：“哦，天哪，我愛發明空調的人，不管他是誰。”

????同樣，我也離不開互聯網，它可以讓我不受限制地接觸到我所需要的任何東西。沒了某一種應用軟件我還能活下去。但要是不能聯網，不能去做我想做的事，我就活不下去了。

????10. 你有沒有什么獨特或者古怪的習慣？

????我非常喜歡斯普林斯汀。我在現場看了他的65場演唱會，而且還計劃在他的這次巡演中再看5場，對一位首席執行官來說這可能稍有些不尋常。可能會有人認為這有點兒古怪。（財富中文網）

????6. What was the most important thing you learned in school?

????The importance of learning the right way to ask a question. It's as important to know how to get the right answer as it is to have the right answer. I can give you the exact example of my epiphany in college. I was in world politics, and this was when there was still the Cold War. There had been no Gorbachev yet. And the professor walked into the room and said, "All of you are the president of the United States, and I am the secretary of state. I walk in, and I say, "Mr. or Madame President, the missiles have launched; what would you like me to do?" And most students said, "Let's get you to the bunker." Some said, "Launch back." And what had really happened was that we had launched test missiles, and he just wanted to let the president know. The right answer would have been to ask, "What missiles, launched at whom?" It was about learning to ask the right question as opposed to having the right answer. So half the class started a nuclear war.

????7. What is one goal -- either personal or professional -- that you would like to accomplish during your lifetime?

????Most of the goals that I had set for myself I set in high school. They were to become financially independent, to get married and stay married, to have children who seek a value in life and purpose, and to meet Bruce Springsteen and see as many of his shows as possible.

????At this point in my life, my wife's goals and my goals are as much for the hope and happiness of our children as they are for ourselves, so the things that we focus on outside of work are to make sure they have the right support system to follow whatever their passions may be. I don't know what they're going to be yet, but I hope they will have the strength and passion to go after it. I feel very confident they will, because their mom has done a phenomenal job with them. For me personally, what they do is more interesting to me at this point than what I do. I just hope that whatever I do is creating value in people's lives.

????8. What was the last book you read?

????The last book that I read was Lean In. Sheryl Sandberg sent it to me on a Sunday and told me that I had to read it that day and give my comments, and when Sheryl says to do something, you do it.

????But the real reason I read it is, I think it's required reading for a CEO, and I think it's required reading for a father with daughters. It's extremely powerful. Fifty-plus percent of the population and the people who go to college are women. It's time that everybody understands the full perspective. I applaud her courageousness. I thought it was great, and I didn't realize there would be all this backlash. Her courage to write it, her courage to stick with it, her courage to communicate it is extraordinary. And it had a powerful and meaningful impact on me personally and the decisions I make.

????9. What is one piece of technology you can't live without?

????I'm a big fan that the greatest invention of my time is air conditioning. I cannot live without it. I grew up in an apartment that didn't have air conditioning, and when we got it, it was like, "Oh my god, I love whoever invented this."

????But also the Internet itself, what it does, which is give me untethered access to anything that I might need. I can live without a specific app, but not without the ability to be connected and do the things that I want to do.

????10. What is one unique or quirky habit that you have?

????My passion for Springsteen shows. It's probably a little unusual for a CEO to see somebody perform live 65 times with another five planned for this tour. Some people probably consider that a little odd.
