I want to admit that I am an optimist. Any tough problem, I think it can be solved.
Again and again, the impossible problem is solved when we see that the problem is only a tough decision waiting to be made.
If you are able to state a problem - any problem - and if it is important enough, then the problem can be solved.
In short, I'm not sure that the abortion problem can be solved by legislation. I think it can only be solved through moral persuasion.
Becoming carbon neutral is only the beginning. The climate problem will not be solved by one company reducing its emissions to zero, and it won't be solved by one government acting alone. The climate problem will not be solved without mass participation by the general public in countries around the globe.
A problem adequately stated is a problem solved theoretically and immediately, and therefore subsequently to be solved, realistically.
If the problem can be solved why worry? If the problem cannot be solved worrying will do you no good.
I am a stubborn optimist: I was born an optimist and will remain an optimist.
When you have solved the problem of controlling the attention of the child, you have solved the entire problem of its education.
Clipper took a relatively simple problem, encryption between two phones, and turned it into a much more complex problem, encryption between two phones but that can be decrypted by the government under certain conditions and, by making the problem that complicated, that made it very easy for subtle flaws to slip by unnoticed. I think it demonstrated that this problem is not just a tough public policy problem, but it's also a tough technical problem.
It's true that America can't solve every problem, but I don't know of any major problem in the world that can be solved without us.
People tell me, "You're such an optimist". Am I an optimist? An optimist says the glass is half full. A pessimist says the glass is half empty. A survivalist is practical. He says, "Call it what you want, but just fill the glass." I believe in filling the glass.
We had global warming between 1940 and 1998. Since then, we haven't had a rise in temperature. That doesn't mean we don't have a problem. If that problem is going to be solved, it ought to be solved by an international treaty.
When you start a company, it's more an art than a science because it's totally unknown. Instead of solving high-profile problems, try to solve something that's deeply personal to you. Ideally, if you're an ordinary person and you've just solved your problem, you might have solved the problem for millions of people.
I think really what cloud customers care about is, can they get their problem solved on any particular provider's cloud products?
There's no problem so great it can't be solved. If it can't be solved, it's not a problem, it's reality.
But I am an optimist about Britain; and the difference between an optimist and a pessimist is not that the optimist believes the world is wonderful and the pessimist believes it's beset by challenges; the difference is the pessimist believes we will be defeated by them; the optimist thinks the challenges can be overcome.
