今天分享的是喬布斯的一篇演講。

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.
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.

My second story is about love and loss.
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.

My third story is 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 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.
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.
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.

今天我想向你們講述我生活中的三個故事。不是什么大不了的事情,只是三個故事而已。
　　
第一個故事是關(guān)于如何把生命中的點(diǎn)點(diǎn)滴滴串連起來。
再次說明的是,你在向前展望的時候不可能將這些片斷串連起來；你只能在回顧的時候?qū)Ⅻc(diǎn)點(diǎn)滴滴串連起來。所以你必須相信這些片斷會在你未來的某一天串連起來。你必須要相信某些東西：你的勇氣、目的、生命、因緣......這個過程從來沒有令我失望,只是讓我的生命更加地與眾不同。
　
我的第二個故事是關(guān)于愛和失去。
有些時候, 生活會拿起一塊磚頭向你的腦袋上猛拍一下。不要失去信仰。我很清楚唯一使我一直走下去的，就是我做的事情令我無比鐘愛。你需要去找到你所愛的東西。對于工作是如此, 對于你的愛人也是如此。你的工作將會占據(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)在還沒有找到, 那么繼續(xù)找、不要停下來，只要全心全意的去找, 在你找到的時候，你的心會告訴你的。就像任何真誠的關(guān)系, 隨著歲月的流逝只會越來越緊密。所以繼續(xù)找，直到你找到它，不要停下來！
　　
我的第三個故事是關(guān)于死亡的。
當(dāng)我十七歲的時候, 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,那么有一天你會發(fā)現(xiàn)你是正確的。"這句話給我留下了一個印象。從那時開始,過了33 年,我在每天早晨都會對著鏡子問自己:"如果今天是我生命中的最后一天, 你會不會完成你今天想做的事情呢？"當(dāng)答案連續(xù)多天是"No"的時候, 我知道自己需要改變某些事情了。
　　
你們的時間很有限, 所以不要將他們浪費(fèi)在重復(fù)其他人的生活上。不要被教條束縛,那意味著你和其他人思考的結(jié)果一起生活。不要被其他人喧囂的觀點(diǎn)掩蓋你真正的內(nèi)心的聲音。還有最重要的是, 你要有勇氣去聽從你直覺和心靈的指示——它們在某種程度上知道你想要成為什么樣子，所有其他的事情都是次要的。
"求知若饑，虛心若愚。"我總是希望自己能夠那樣,現(xiàn)在, 在你們即將畢業(yè)，開始新的旅程的時候, 我也希望你們能這樣.
