　　喬布斯畢業(yè)演講稿：

　　This is the text of the Commencement address by Steve Jobs, CEO of Apple Computer and of Pixar Animation Studios, delivered on June 12, 2005.

　　這是蘋果公司和Pixar動(dòng)畫工作室的CEO Steve Jobs于2005年6月12號(hào)在斯坦福大學(xué)的畢業(yè)典禮上面的演講稿。

　　I am honored to be with you today at your commencement from one of the finest universities in the world. I never graduated from college. Truth be told, this is the closest I've ever gotten to a college graduation. Today I want to tell you three stories from my life. That's it. No big deal. Just three stories.

　　我今天很榮幸能和你們一起參加畢業(yè)典禮，斯坦福大學(xué)是世界上最好的大學(xué)之一。我從來(lái)沒(méi)有從大學(xué)中畢業(yè)。說(shuō)實(shí)話,今天也許是在我的生命中離大學(xué)畢業(yè)最近的一天了。今天我想向你們講述我生活中的三個(gè)故事。不是什么大不了的事情,只是三個(gè)故事而已。

　　The first story is about connecting the dots.

　　第一個(gè)故事是關(guān)于如何把生命中的點(diǎn)點(diǎn)滴滴串連起來(lái)。

　　I dropped out of Reed College after the first 6 months, but then stayed around as a drop-in for another 18 months or so before I really quit. So why did I drop out?

　　我在Reed大學(xué)讀了六個(gè)月之后就退學(xué)了,但是在十八個(gè)月以后——我真正的作出退學(xué)決定之前,我還經(jīng)常去學(xué)校。我為什么要退學(xué)呢?

　　It started before I was born. My biological mother was a young, unwed college graduate student, and she decided to put me up for adoption. She felt very strongly that I should be adopted by college graduates, so everything was all set for me to be adopted at birth by a lawyer and his wife. Except that when I popped out they decided at the last minute that they really wanted a girl. So my parents, who were on a waiting list, got a call in the middle of the night asking: "We have an unexpected baby boy; do you want him?" They said: "Of course." My biological mother later found out that my mother had never graduated from college and that my father had never graduated from high school. She refused to sign the final adoption papers. She only relented a few months later when my parents promised that I would someday go to college.

　　故事從我出生的時(shí)候講起。我的親生母親是一個(gè)年輕的,沒(méi)有結(jié)婚的大學(xué)畢業(yè)生。她決定讓別人收養(yǎng)我, 她十分想讓我被大學(xué)畢業(yè)生收養(yǎng)。所以在我出生的時(shí)候，她已經(jīng)做好了一切的準(zhǔn)備工作，能使得我被一個(gè)律師和他的妻子所收養(yǎng)。但是她沒(méi)有料到,當(dāng)我出生之后,律師夫婦突然決定他們想要一個(gè)女孩。所以我的生養(yǎng)父母(他們還在我親生父母的觀察名單上)突然在半夜接到了一個(gè)電話:“我們現(xiàn)在這兒有一個(gè)不小心生出來(lái)的男嬰,你們想要他嗎?”他們回答道:“當(dāng)然!”但是我親生母親隨后發(fā)現(xiàn)，我的養(yǎng)母從來(lái)沒(méi)有上過(guò)大學(xué),我的父親甚至從沒(méi)有讀過(guò)高中。她拒絕簽這個(gè)收養(yǎng)合同。只是在幾個(gè)月以后,我的父母答應(yīng)她一定要讓我上大學(xué),那個(gè)時(shí)候她才同意。

　　And 17 years later I did go to college. But I naively chose a college that was almost as expensive as Stanford, and all of my working-class parents' savings were being spent on my college tuition. After six months, I couldn't see the value in it. I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life and no idea how college was going to help me figure it out. And here I was spending all of the money my parents had saved their entire life. So I decided to drop out and trust that it would all work out OK. It was pretty scary at the time, but looking back it was one of the best decisions I ever made. The minute I dropped out I could stop taking the required classes that didn't interest me, and begin dropping in on the ones that looked interesting.

　　在十七歲那年,我真的上了大學(xué)。但是我很愚蠢的選擇了一個(gè)幾乎和你們斯坦福大學(xué)一樣貴的學(xué)校, 我父母還處于藍(lán)領(lǐng)階層，他們幾乎把所有積蓄都花在了我的學(xué)費(fèi)上面。在六個(gè)月后, 我已經(jīng)看不到其中的價(jià)值所在。我不知道我想要在生命中做什么,我也不知道大學(xué)能幫助我找到怎樣的答案。但是在這里，我?guī)缀趸ü饬宋腋改高@一輩子的所有積蓄。所以我決定要退學(xué),我覺得這是個(gè)正確的決定。不能否認(rèn),我當(dāng)時(shí)確實(shí)非常的害怕, 但是現(xiàn)在回頭看看,那的確是我這一生中最棒的一個(gè)決定。在我做出退學(xué)決定的那一刻, 我終于可以不必去讀那些令我提不起絲毫興趣的課程了。然后我還可以去修那些看起來(lái)有點(diǎn)意思的課程。

　　It wasn't all romantic. I didn't have a dorm room, so I slept on the floor in friends' rooms, I returned coke bottles for the 5¢ deposits to buy food with, and I would walk the 7 miles across town every Sunday night to get one good meal a week at the Hare Krishna temple. I loved it. And much of what I stumbled into by following my curiosity and intuition turned out to be priceless later on. Let me give you one example:

　　但是這并不是那么羅曼蒂克。我失去了我的宿舍,所以我只能在朋友房間的地板上面睡覺,我去撿5美分的可樂(lè)瓶子，僅僅為了填飽肚子, 在星期天的晚上,我需要走七英里的路程，穿過(guò)這個(gè)城市到Hare Krishna寺廟(注：位于紐約Brooklyn下城),只是為了能吃上飯——這個(gè)星期唯一一頓好一點(diǎn)的飯。但是我喜歡這樣。我跟著我的直覺和好奇心走, 遇到的很多東西,此后被證明是無(wú)價(jià)之寶。讓我給你們舉一個(gè)例子吧：

　　Reed College at that time offered perhaps the best calligraphy instruction in the country. Throughout the campus every poster, every label on every drawer, was beautifully hand calligraphed. Because I had dropped out and didn't have to take the normal classes, I decided to take a calligraphy class to learn how to do this. I learned about serif and san serif typefaces, about varying the amount of space between different letter combinations, about what makes great typography great. It was beautiful, historical, artistically subtle in a way that science can't capture, and I found it fascinating.

　　Reed大學(xué)在那時(shí)提供也許是全美最好的美術(shù)字課程。在這個(gè)大學(xué)里面的每個(gè)海報(bào), 每個(gè)抽屜的標(biāo)簽上面全都是漂亮的美術(shù)字。因?yàn)槲彝藢W(xué)了, 沒(méi)有受到正規(guī)的訓(xùn)練, 所以我決定去參加這個(gè)課程，去學(xué)學(xué)怎樣寫出漂亮的美術(shù)字。我學(xué)到了san serif 和serif字體, 我學(xué)會(huì)了怎么樣在不同的字母組合之中改變空格的長(zhǎng)度, 還有怎么樣才能作出最棒的印刷式樣。那是一種科學(xué)永遠(yuǎn)不能捕捉到的、美麗的、真實(shí)的藝術(shù)精妙, 我發(fā)現(xiàn)那實(shí)在是太美妙了。

　　None of this had even a hope of any practical application in my life. But ten years later, when we were designing the first Macintosh computer, it all came back to me. And we designed it all into the Mac. It was the first computer with beautiful typography. If I had never dropped in on that single course in college, the Mac would have never had multiple typefaces or proportionally spaced fonts. And since Windows just copied the Mac, its likely that no personal computer would have them. If I had never dropped out, I would have never dropped in on this calligraphy class, and personal computers might not have the wonderful typography that they do. Of course it was impossible to connect the dots looking forward when I was in college. But it was very, very clear looking backwards ten years later.

　　當(dāng)時(shí)看起來(lái)這些東西在我的生命中，好像都沒(méi)有什么實(shí)際應(yīng)用的可能。但是十年之后,當(dāng)我們?cè)谠O(shè)計(jì)第一臺(tái)Macintosh電腦的時(shí)候,就不是那樣了。我把當(dāng)時(shí)我學(xué)的那些家伙全都設(shè)計(jì)進(jìn)了Mac。那是第一臺(tái)使用了漂亮的印刷字體的電腦。如果我當(dāng)時(shí)沒(méi)有退學(xué), 就不會(huì)有機(jī)會(huì)去參加這個(gè)我感興趣的美術(shù)字課程, Mac就不會(huì)有這么多豐富的字體，以及賞心悅目的字體間距。那么現(xiàn)在個(gè)人電腦就不會(huì)有現(xiàn)在這么美妙的字型了。當(dāng)然我在大學(xué)的時(shí)候，還不可能把從前的點(diǎn)點(diǎn)滴滴串連起來(lái),但是當(dāng)我十年后回顧這一切的時(shí)候,真的豁然開朗了。

　　Again, you can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So 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.

　　再次說(shuō)明的是,你在向前展望的時(shí)候不可能將這些片斷串連起來(lái);你只能在回顧的時(shí)候?qū)Ⅻc(diǎn)點(diǎn)滴滴串連起來(lái)。所以你必須相信這些片斷會(huì)在你未來(lái)的某一天串連起來(lái)。你必須要相信某些東西：你的勇氣、目的、生命、因緣。這個(gè)過(guò)程從來(lái)沒(méi)有令我失望(let me down),只是讓我的生命更加地與眾不同而已。

　　My second story is about love and loss.

　　我的第二個(gè)故事是關(guān)于愛和損失的。

　　really didn't know what to do for a few months. I felt that I had let the previous generation of entrepreneurs down - that I had dropped the baton as it was being passed to me. I met with David Packard and Bob Noyce and tried to apologize for screwing up so badly. I was a very public failure, and I even thought about running away from the valley. But something slowly began to dawn on me – I still loved what I did. The turn of events at Apple had not changed that one bit. I had been rejected, but I was still in love. And so I decided to start over.

　　在最初的幾個(gè)月里，我真是不知道該做些什么。我把從前的創(chuàng)業(yè)激情給丟了, 我覺得自己讓與我一同創(chuàng)業(yè)的人都很沮喪。我和David Pack和Bob Boyce見面，并試圖向他們道歉。我把事情弄得糟糕透頂了。但是我漸漸發(fā)現(xiàn)了曙光, 我仍然喜愛我從事的這些東西。蘋果公司發(fā)生的這些事情絲毫的沒(méi)有改變這些, 一點(diǎn)也沒(méi)有。我被驅(qū)逐了,但是我仍然鐘愛它。所以我決定從頭再來(lái)。

　　I didn't see it then, but it turned out that getting fired 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.

　　我當(dāng)時(shí)沒(méi)有覺察, 但是事后證明, 從蘋果公司被炒是我這輩子發(fā)生的最棒的事情。因?yàn)?，作為一個(gè)成功者的極樂(lè)感覺被作為一個(gè)創(chuàng)業(yè)者的輕松感覺所重新代替: 對(duì)任何事情都不那么特別看重。這讓我覺得如此自由, 進(jìn)入了我生命中最有創(chuàng)造力的一個(gè)階段。

　　During the next five years, I started a company named NeXT, another company named Pixar, and fell in love with an amazing woman who would become my wife. Pixar went on to create the worlds first computer animated feature film, Toy Story, and is now the most successful animation studio in the world. In a remarkable turn of events, Apple bought NeXT, I retuned to Apple, and the technology we developed at NeXT is at the heart of Apple's current renaissance. And Laurene and I have a wonderful family together.

　　在接下來(lái)的五年里, 我創(chuàng)立了一個(gè)名叫NeXT的公司, 還有一個(gè)叫Pixar的公司, 然后和一個(gè)后來(lái)成為我妻子的優(yōu)雅女人相識(shí)。Pixar 制作了世界上第一個(gè)用電腦制作的動(dòng)畫電影——“”玩具總動(dòng)員”,Pixar現(xiàn)在也是世界上最成功的電腦制作工作室。在后來(lái)的一系列運(yùn)轉(zhuǎn)中,Apple收購(gòu)了NeXT, 然后我又回到了Apple公司。我們?cè)贜eXT發(fā)展的技術(shù)在Apple的復(fù)興之中發(fā)揮了關(guān)鍵的作用。我還和Laurence 一起建立了一個(gè)幸福的家庭。

　　I'm pretty sure none of this would have happened if I hadn't been fired from Apple. It was awful tasting medicine, but I guess the patient needed it. Sometimes life hits you in the head with a brick. Don't lose faith. 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 that is as true for your work as it is for your lovers. 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.

　　我可以非常肯定,如果我不被Apple開除的話, 這其中一件事情也不會(huì)發(fā)生的。這個(gè)良藥的味道實(shí)在是太苦了,但是我想病人需要這個(gè)藥。有些時(shí)候, 生活會(huì)拿起一塊磚頭向你的腦袋上猛拍一下。不要失去信心。我很清楚唯一使我一直走下去的，就是我做的事情令我無(wú)比鐘愛。你需要去找到你所愛的東西。對(duì)于工作是如此, 對(duì)于你的愛人也是如此。你的工作將會(huì)占據(jù)生活中很大的一部分。你只有相信自己所做的是偉大的工作, 你才能怡然自得。如果你現(xiàn)在還沒(méi)有找到, 那么繼續(xù)找、不要停下來(lái)、全心全意的去找, 當(dāng)你找到的時(shí)候你就會(huì)知道的。就像任何真誠(chéng)的關(guān)系, 隨著歲月的流逝只會(huì)越來(lái)越緊密。所以繼續(xù)找，直到你找到它，不要停下來(lái)!

　　My third story is about death.

　　我的第三個(gè)故事是關(guān)于死亡的。

　　When I was 17, I read a quote that went something like: "If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you'll most certainly be right." It made an impression on me, and since then, for the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: "If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?" And whenever the answer has been "No" for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something.

　　當(dāng)我十七歲的時(shí)候, 我讀到了一句話:“如果你把每一天都當(dāng)作生命中最后一天去生活的話,那么有一天你會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)你是正確的。”這句話給我留下了深刻的印象。從那時(shí)開始,過(guò)了33年,我在每天早晨都會(huì)對(duì)著鏡子問(wèn)自己:“如果今天是我生命中的最后一天, 你會(huì)不會(huì)完成你今天想做的事情呢?”當(dāng)答案連續(xù)很多次被給予“不是”的時(shí)候, 我知道自己需要改變某些事情了。

　　Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything – all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure - these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.

　　“記住你即將死去”是我一生中遇到的最重要箴言。它幫我指明了生命中重要的選擇。因?yàn)閹缀跛械氖虑? 包括所有的榮譽(yù)、所有的驕傲、所有對(duì)難堪和失敗的恐懼,這些在死亡面前都會(huì)消失。我看到的是留下的真正重要的東西。你有時(shí)候會(huì)思考你將會(huì)失去某些東西,“記住你即將死去”是我知道的避免這些想法的最好辦法。你已經(jīng)赤身裸體了, 你沒(méi)有理由不去跟隨自己的心一起跳動(dòng)。

　　About a year ago I was diagnosed with cancer. I had a scan at 7:30 in the morning, and it clearly showed a tumor on my pancreas. I didn't even know what a pancreas was. The doctors told me this was almost certainly a type of cancer that is incurable, and that I should expect to live no longer than three to six months. My doctor advised me to go home and get my affairs in order, which is doctor's code for prepare to die. It means to try to tell your kids everything you thought you'd have the next 10 years to tell them in just a few months. It means to make sure everything is buttoned up so that it will be as easy as possible for your family. It means to say your goodbyes.

　　大概一年以前, 我被診斷出癌癥。我在早晨七點(diǎn)半做了一個(gè)檢查, 檢查清楚的顯示在我的胰腺有一個(gè)腫瘤。我當(dāng)時(shí)都不知道胰腺是什么東西。醫(yī)生告訴我那很可能是一種無(wú)法治愈的癌癥, 我還有三到六個(gè)月的時(shí)間活在這個(gè)世界上。我的醫(yī)生叫我回家, 然后整理好我的一切, 那就是醫(yī)生準(zhǔn)備死亡的程序。那意味著你將要把未來(lái)十年對(duì)你小孩說(shuō)的話在幾個(gè)月里面說(shuō)完.;那意味著把每件事情都搞定, 讓你的家人會(huì)盡可能輕松的生活;那意味著你要說(shuō)“再見了”。

　　I lived with that diagnosis all day. Later that evening I had a biopsy, where they stuck an endoscope down my throat, through my stomach and into my intestines, put a needle into my pancreas and got a few cells from the tumor. I was sedated, but my wife, who was there, told me that when they viewed the cells under a microscope the doctors started crying because it turned out to be a very rare form of pancreatic cancer that is curable with surgery. I had the surgery and I'm fine now.

　　我整天和那個(gè)診斷書一起生活。后來(lái)有一天早上我作了一個(gè)活切片檢查，醫(yī)生將一個(gè)內(nèi)窺鏡從我的喉嚨伸進(jìn)去,通過(guò)我的胃, 然后進(jìn)入我的腸子, 用一根針在我的胰腺上的腫瘤上取了幾個(gè)細(xì)胞。我當(dāng)時(shí)很鎮(zhèn)靜,因?yàn)槲冶蛔⑸淞随?zhèn)定劑。但是我的妻子在那里, 后來(lái)告訴我，當(dāng)醫(yī)生在顯微鏡地下觀察這些細(xì)胞的時(shí)候他們開始尖叫, 因?yàn)檫@些細(xì)胞最后竟然是一種非常罕見的可以用手術(shù)治愈的胰腺癌癥。我做了這個(gè)手術(shù), 現(xiàn)在我痊愈了。

　　This was the closest I've been to facing death, and I hope its the closest I get for a few more decades. Having lived through it, I can now say this to you with a bit more certainty than when death was a useful but purely intellectual concept:

　　那是我最接近死亡的時(shí)候, 我還希望這也是以后的幾十年最接近的一次。從死亡線上又活了過(guò)來(lái), 死亡對(duì)我來(lái)說(shuō)，只是一個(gè)有用但是純粹是知識(shí)上的概念的時(shí)候，我可以更肯定一點(diǎn)地對(duì)你們說(shuō)：

　　No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don't want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life's change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new. Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic, but it is quite true.

　　沒(méi)有人愿意死, 即使人們想上天堂, 人們也不會(huì)為了去那里而死。但是死亡是我們每個(gè)人共同的終點(diǎn)。從來(lái)沒(méi)有人能夠逃脫它。也應(yīng)該如此。因?yàn)樗劳鼍褪巧凶詈玫囊粋€(gè)發(fā)明。它將舊的清除以便給新的讓路。你們現(xiàn)在是新的, 但是從現(xiàn)在開始不久以后, 你們將會(huì)逐漸的變成舊的然后被清除。我很抱歉這很戲劇性, 但是這十分的真實(shí)。

　　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 other's 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.

　　你的時(shí)間是有限的,所以不要浪費(fèi)時(shí)間活在別人的生活里。不要被信條所惑—盲從信條是活在別人思考結(jié)果里。不要讓任何人的意見的噪音淹沒(méi)了你自己內(nèi)心深處的聲音。最重要的是要有勇氣來(lái)跟隨自己的心和直覺。你的內(nèi)心與直覺知道你真正想成為什么。其他事物都是次要的。

　　When I was young, there was an amazing publication called The Whole Earth Catalog, which was one of the bibles of my generation. It was created by a fellow named Stewart Brand not far from here in Menlo Park, and he brought it to life with his poetic touch. This was in the late 1960's, before personal computers and desktop publishing, so it was all made with typewriters, scissors, and polaroid cameras. It was sort of like Google in paperback form, 35 years before Google came along: it was idealistic, and overflowing with neat tools and great notion

　　當(dāng)我年輕的時(shí)候,有一個(gè)了不起的雜志叫《全球目錄》,是我們那一代人奉為圭臬。它是由一個(gè)的人,名叫·斯圖爾特品牌，在離這里不遠(yuǎn)的門洛帕克市,約瑟就把那銀子帶到生活和詩(shī)意的聯(lián)系。這是在1960年代后期,在個(gè)人電腦和桌面出版,因此它只有打字機(jī)、剪刀和寶麗來(lái)相機(jī)。這是類似于谷歌的內(nèi)心與直覺,三十五年后谷歌出現(xiàn):它是理想主義,非常好用的工具和了不起的觀念。

　　Stewart and his team put out several issues of The Whole Earth Catalog, and then when it had run its course, they put out a final issue. It was the mid-1970s, and I was your age. On the back cover of their final issue was a photograph of an early morning country road, the kind you might find yourself hitchhiking on if you were so adventurous. Beneath it were the words: "Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish." It was their farewell message as they signed off. Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish. And I have always wished that for myself. And now, as you graduate to begin anew, I wish that for you.Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish.

　　斯圖爾特和他的團(tuán)隊(duì)做了幾期整個(gè)地球目錄,然后就順其自然,他們把出版了最后一期。這是1970年中期,我是你們的年齡。在最后一期的封底是張?jiān)绯苦l(xiāng)間小路的照片,那種你去爬山時(shí)才會(huì)經(jīng)過(guò)的小路。在照片下有行小字:“求知若饑，虛心若愚“。這是他們親筆寫下的告別信息。求知若饑，虛心若愚。我總是以此自詡。當(dāng)你們畢業(yè)，展開新的生活，我也以此期許你們，求知若饑，虛心若愚。非常感謝大家。

　　盤點(diǎn)喬布斯最知名的演講：

　　1、005年在斯坦福大學(xué)畢業(yè)典禮上的演講 - “Stay hungry, stay foolish"

　　2、007年在Macworld發(fā)布iPhone，如果是商務(wù)演講的話這段幾乎是經(jīng)典，而且從后面的事實(shí)也證明了iPhone這款產(chǎn)品確實(shí)是一個(gè)劃時(shí)代的產(chǎn)品;

　　3、984年發(fā)布Macintosh，除了演講本身外，播放的那段廣告也是廣告經(jīng)典之一。最后喬幫主還讓Macintosh做了個(gè)自我介紹;

　　4、001年推出iPod的介紹演講;

　　5、997年Macworld Boston的二次回歸演講

　　喬布斯語(yǔ)錄：

　　1. We're here to put a dent in the universe. Otherwise why else even be here?

　　活著就是為了改變世界，難道還有其他原因嗎?

　　2. Be a yardstick of quality. Some people aren't used to an environment where excellence is expected.

　　成為卓越的代名詞，很多人并不能適合需要杰出素質(zhì)的環(huán)境。

　　3. Innovation distinguishes between a leader and a follower.

　　領(lǐng)袖和跟風(fēng)者的區(qū)別就在于創(chuàng)新。

　　4. You know, we don't grow most of the food we eat. We wear clothes other people make. We speak a language that other people developed. We use a mathematics that other people evolved... I mean, we're constantly taking things. It's a wonderful, ecstatic feeling to create something that puts it back in the pool of human experience and knowledge.

　　并不是每個(gè)人都需要種植自己的糧食，也不是每個(gè)人都需要做自己穿的衣服，我們說(shuō)著別人發(fā)明的語(yǔ)言，使用別人發(fā)明的數(shù)學(xué)……我們一直在使用別人的成果。使用人類的已有經(jīng)驗(yàn)和知識(shí)來(lái)進(jìn)行發(fā)明創(chuàng)造是一件很了不起的事情。”

　　5. There's a phrase in Buddhism, 'Beginner's mind.' It's wonderful to have a beginner's mind.

　　佛教中有一句話：初學(xué)者的心態(tài);擁有初學(xué)者的心態(tài)是件了不起的事情。

　　6. We think basically you watch television to turn your brain off, and you work on your computer when you want to turn your brain on.

　　我們認(rèn)為看電視的時(shí)候，人的大腦基本停止工作，打開電腦的時(shí)候，大腦才開始運(yùn)轉(zhuǎn)。

　　7. I'm the only person I know that's lost a quarter of a billion dollars in one year... It's very character-building.

　　我是我所知道的唯一一個(gè)在一年中失去2.5億美元的人……這對(duì)我的成長(zhǎng)很有幫助。

　　8. I would trade all of my technology for an afternoon with Socrates.

　　我愿意用我所有的科技去換取和蘇格拉底相處的一個(gè)下午。

　　9. 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.

　　成就一番偉業(yè)的唯一途徑就是熱愛自己的事業(yè)。如果你還沒(méi)能找到讓自己熱愛的事業(yè)，繼續(xù)尋找，不要放棄。跟隨自己的心，總有一天你會(huì)找到的。

　　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 other's 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.

　　你的時(shí)間有限，所以不要為別人而活。不要被教條所限，不要活在別人的觀念里。不要讓別人的意見左右自己內(nèi)心的聲音。最重要的是，勇敢的去追隨自己的心靈和直覺，只有自己的心靈和直覺才知道你自己的真實(shí)想法，其他一切都是次要。
