Keas創(chuàng)始人：自主思考最重要

您最大的失敗是什么？

????有趣的是，我得說(shuō)是XML。是的，這是一項(xiàng)標(biāo)準(zhǔn)，但我當(dāng)時(shí)設(shè)想的是采用簡(jiǎn)單容易的文本標(biāo)準(zhǔn)來(lái)實(shí)現(xiàn)應(yīng)用軟件網(wǎng)際數(shù)據(jù)分享，這種設(shè)想止步于極其復(fù)雜的Schema語(yǔ)言，以及XML無(wú)法獲得JavaScript的完美識(shí)別?；叵肫饋?lái)，我原本應(yīng)該從一開(kāi)始就支持JSON，同時(shí)把日期加進(jìn)去。

您還崇拜其他哪些公司？為什么？

????我崇拜谷歌（Google）。但我不喜歡那兒。我是發(fā)明家，但谷歌的數(shù)據(jù)創(chuàng)新更多是基于團(tuán)隊(duì)，而不是個(gè)人的靈感/直覺(jué)。不過(guò)，他們持續(xù)的努力還是給人留下了深刻的印象。從Android操作系統(tǒng)到Chrome瀏覽器，再到谷歌網(wǎng)絡(luò)開(kāi)發(fā)者年會(huì)Google I/O和谷歌地圖，他們成了真正的先行者。我每天都依賴他們的技術(shù)。我為我?guī)椭喸炝斯雀栉臋n（Google Docs）而感到自豪。

你如何做過(guò)上平衡的生活？

????我每周只工作三天半，每年休假一個(gè)月。我休假期間完全斷網(wǎng)，沒(méi)有工作，也沒(méi)有工作郵件。關(guān)掉工作手機(jī)。我的生活相當(dāng)平衡。

每位領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人都應(yīng)具備的一項(xiàng)品質(zhì)是什么？

????對(duì)于他們所從事的事業(yè)、幫助他們做事的人以及他們做的事情可以幫助到的人，都滿懷激情。

?What has been your biggest failure?

????Funnily enough, I'm going to say XML. Yes, it is a standard, but the vision of a simple easy text format for sharing data between applications across the web which is what I had in mind was corrupted by a disastrously over-complex schema language and by a failure to get it natively understood by JavaScript. In retrospect, I should have backed JSON from the start and just gotten dates added.

What other companies do you admire? Why?

????I admire Google. I didn't love it there. I'm an inventor and Google is more a place for data-driven inventions by teams than individual instinct/intuition, but they continue to make impressive attempts to really pioneer from Android and Chrome to Google I/O and Google Maps. I rely on their technology everyday. I'm proud of having helped to give birth to Google Docs.

What do you do to live a balanced life?

????I only work 3 ? days a week and I take a one month vacation every year in which I go offline. No work, no work email at all. I turn off my work cell-phone. I live an extremely balanced life.

What is one characteristic that every leader should possess?

????Passion both for what they do and for the people who help them do it and the people who will be helped by what they do.

Is business school necessary for entrepreneurs?

????It is a hindrance.
