求知若渴 虛心若愚

  閱讀賈伯斯演講已是十年前的記憶，然而今日重讀，感受特別深刻，引以為記。重讀賈伯斯。賈伯斯於2015年6月12日對史丹佛大學畢業生演講摘要。

今天我要談我生命中的三個故事，沒有大道理，就是三個故事。

第一個故事是關於人生中的點點滴滴怎麼串連在一起

1.許多倚靠好奇與直覺投入涉獵過的事物，後來都成了無價的資產。

2.你無法預知未來，只有在回顧時，才能將這些點滴串連起來。

3.你必須相信目前你所經歷的事物，將來多多少少都會連結在一起，你得信任某

 些事物，無論是直覺，命運，生命或宿命因果，這種作法從沒讓我失望過，也

 讓人生際遇因此變得大不相同。

第二個故事是有關愛與失去

4.當時我沒有發現，但是現在看來，被蘋果開除，是我所經歷過最好的事情。從

  頭來過的輕鬆取代了成功的沉重，釋放了我，讓我自由自在進入這一生創意最

  蓬勃的時期。

5.有時，人生就像拿磚塊砸你的頭，切勿喪失信心。

6.我確信我愛我所做的事，這就是這些年來支持我往前不懈的唯一理由，你必須

  找到你的最愛，人生伴侶如此，工作上亦然。

7.工作佔據我們人生大部分，能獲得滿足的方法就是做你覺得偉大的工作，而所

  謂的偉大工作，就是深愛你所做的事，如果你還沒找到，請繼續找，別停下來。

  進你全心全意，你知道你一定會找到，而且任何美好關係，事情只會越來越好。

  所以，在你找到之前，繼續找別停頓。

第三個故事是關於死亡

8. 如果將每天都當成生命最後一天，總有你一天你會成功。

9. 死亡是生命中最佳的創意，是生命交替的媒介。

10.光陰有限，所以請不要浪費時間活在別人的生活之中，不要被教條所侷限，

   也就是不要為別人的思考而活，不要讓別人的意見淹沒你內在的心聲!而最重

   要的，擁有追隨你自己內心與直覺的勇氣。內心與直覺多少已經知道你真正

  想成為什麼樣的人，任何其他事物都是次要的。

 

 

Stay hungry Stay foolish

 

Reading Steve Jobs Commencement address, on 2005. Today reread thinking and writing it. Reread Steve Jobs. This is a prepared text of the Commencement address delivered by Steve Jobs, CEO of Apple Computer and of Pixar animation Studios, on June 12,2015

  Today I want to tell you three stories from my life. That’s it. No big deal. Just three stories.

The first story is about connecting the dots.

1. And much of what I stumbled into by following my curiosity and intuition

turned out to be priceless later on.

2. You can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them

 looking backwards.

3. You have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future.

You have to trust in something-your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever.
This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference
 in my life.

The second story is about love and loss.

4. I didn’t see it then, but it turned out that getting fires from Apple

was the best   thing that could have ever happened to me. The heaviness
 of being successful was   replaced by the lightness of being a beginner
 again, less sure about everything. It  freed me to enter one of the most
creative periods of my life.

5. Sometimes life hits you in the head with a brick. Don't lose faith.

6. I'm convinced that the only thing that kept me going was that I loved

what I did. You've got to find what you love. And this is as true for
your work as it is for your lovers.  

7. Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way

to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the  
only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found
it yet, keep looking. Don't settle. As with all matters of the heart,
you’ll know when you find it. And, like any great relationship, it just
gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking until
you find it. Don’t settle.

The third story is about death

8. If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you'll most

certainly be right.

9. Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life's

 change agent.

10. Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life.

 Don't be trapped by dogma- which is living with the results of other
people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out
 your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow
 your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want
to become. Everything else is secondary.
