硅谷传奇投资人没打算退休

    问：你还在其他领域为别人提供资助吗？

    没错。有些资金并不公开使用，但最近我们向纽约朱利亚德学院（Julliard School）提供了一笔资金，同样是为了帮助来自纽约底层社会、没机会接受音乐教育的孩子们。

    问：去年你写信告知红杉的投资者你的角色发生了变化，你在信中描述了你将如何利用自己的时间，包括用于“微不足道的嗜好”。你指的是什么？你在这方面过的怎么样？

    说的是长距离自行车和游泳俱乐部；还有读书、写作和绘画等。

    问：有意思，长距离自行车和游泳俱乐部正好引出我的下一个问题。你从来没有具体解释过你的病情，也就是你尚未治愈的疾病，这个问题显然引起了广泛关注。在这方面你有什么要说的吗？

    没有。但所有的医生都说生命和健康密不可分。我只是需要额外的专门护理，以便让我继续保持健康、精力充沛的状态。

    问：很好。最后我想说的是，你是个出了名的足球迷。

    对，我不会考虑其他运动项目。

    问：你觉得下届世界杯上哪只球队能夺冠？

    英超可比世界杯重要得多。

    问：抱歉，你是说英格兰足球超级联赛？

    没错，它的吸引力比世界杯大得多。我知道光是这种想法就很另类。

    问：那么告诉我，你支持哪只球队？

    曼彻斯特联队。

    问：曼联球迷总是认为他们会成为下赛季的冠军，对吧？

    通常他们的预测都很准。（财富中文网）

    Q: Are you giving in other areas as well?

    Yes, yes. Some of the stuff isn't public, but we gave a gift recently to the Julliard School in New York, again, to help in that case underprivileged New York kids who have been deprived of music education.

    Q: When you wrote your letter last year to your Sequoia's investors that you were changing your role, you made reference to how you'd spend some of your time, including on "trivial indulgences." What were you referring to and how are you enjoying those?

    It's endurance biking and master swimming. And then reading, writing, and painting.

    Q: Endurance biking and master swimming is an interesting segue to my next question. There was obviously a lot of concern about your lack of detail on the illness, the incurable illness you have. Do you want to talk anymore about that?

    No. But all the docs say that there's a great correlation between longevity and fitness. And so I just take an extra special care on trying to stay as fit as a fiddle.

    Q: Good for you. Last thing, you're a noted football fan by which I mean soccer.

    I wouldn't have thought any other sport, yes.

    Q: Who do you predict will win the next World Cup?

    Oh, the English Premier League is far more important than the World Cup.

    Q: I'm sorry, did you say the English Premier League?

    Yeah. It's far more captivating than the World Cup. And I know that's heresy to even think that.

    Q: And remind me, who's your team?

    Manchester United.

    Q: And Manchester United fans always think that they will win the next Premiership, right?

    And usually they're right.
