上周和这周在b站断断续续的看完了乔布斯在斯坦福大学毕业典礼上的演讲这个视频,这个演讲,他讲了自己的3个故事,通过故事带给大家启迪。
乔布斯的观点和故事对我非常受用,所以想摘抄和整理一些能引发我思考的句子,方便以后回看,激励自己。
1.You can't cannect 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 someting, your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. Because believing the dots will connect down the road, will give you the confidence to follow your heart, even when it lead you off the well-worn path. And that will make all the difference.
你们也无法预知未来,只有回头看时才会发现它们的关系。所以,你必须相信你现在获得的点滴就在未来连结起来。你必须相信一些东西,直觉、命运、人生、因果,什么都没关系。因为如果你相信这些点滴会连结起你未来的道路,你就会拥有跟随自己内心的自信,即使你的选择不被主流认同,这将使一切都变得不一样。
2.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, 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 and 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 and don't settle.
有时候,生活会给你当头一棒。不要失去信仰。唯一支撑着我一路走来的是我爱我所做的事。你必须找到你的真爱,对工作如此,对爱人亦然。工作将占据你生命中很大的一部分,只有相信自己所做的是伟大的工作,你才能活得快乐,而伟大的工作就源自于你的爱。如果你还没有找到,继续寻找,不要停下脚步。全心全意的寻找,当你遇到它时,你就会明白,就像那些美好的爱情,随着岁月的流逝,愈加醇美。所以继续寻找,不要停下脚步。
3.If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you'll most certainly be right.
如果你把每一天都当作是生命的最后一天,总有一天,你会是对的。
4.If today was 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.
如果今天是我生命中的最后一天,我还会做我今天要做的这些事吗?如果连续很多天答案都是“不”,我就知道需要改变了。
5.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.
记住自己终将会死去,是我最重要的自我检验,并帮助我做出来许多人生中的重要决定。因为几乎任何事,所有的期望,所有的荣耀,对失败的恐惧,一切都会在死亡面前淡去,只留下真正重要的东西。时刻提醒自己将会死去,便可以帮助你避开担心失去身外之物的恐惧。你本就一无所有,没有理由不去追随你的内心。
6.No one wants to die, even people who want to go to heaven, don't want to die to get there.
没有人愿意死,就算那些想上天堂的人也不想为此而死。
7.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.
光阴如梭,所以不要浪费时间,过你不想要的生活。不要被教条束缚,那意味着按照别人的想法生活。不要被世人的喧嚣掩盖了你的心声。还有最重要的,要有跟随你的内心和直觉的勇气。它们知道你想做一个什么样的人,其他的一切都是次要的。
8.Stay Hungry, Stay Foolish.
求知若饥,虚心若愚。
走好你现在的每一步路,人生的每一步路都算数。
不要沉溺于自己的舒适圈,不要轻易屈服于所谓的命运,勇于尝试、不断试错,直至找到真正的热爱。
短短一生,过自己想要的生活吧!
