乔布斯2005年斯坦福大学毕业演讲
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 clost 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.
省考笔试时间The first story is about connecting the dots.
My cond story is about love and loss.
光棍剧场My third story is about death.
And I want to tell is the last story. Namely about death.
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 mylf: "If t
丹参丸南沙群岛oday 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.扇的拼音
民主生活会记录 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. Becau almost everything — all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure - the 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 lo. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.
About a year ago I was diagnod 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 advid 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.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 dated, but my wife, who was there, told me that when they viewed the cells under a microscope the doctors started crying becau 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.This was the clost I've been to facing death, and I hope its the clost 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 uful but purely intellectual concept: 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, becau 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 somed
ay 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.
Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone el's life. Don't be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noi 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 el is condary.

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 notions.

Stewart and his team put out veral issues of The Whole Earth Catalog, and then when it had run its cour, 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 yourlf 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 mylf. And now, as you graduate to begin anew, I wish that for you. Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish。
