'You've got to find what you love,' Jobs says

今天meeting時老師拿了一段文章要我們看~
是蘋果執行長Steve Jobs在去年對Stanford的畢業生演講詞中的一部份~

之前就有聽說人家對這場演講的推崇~
但自己沒有特別去找出這篇演講文來看~
今天回來以後就去找了~
演講詞全文
演講錄音全文
演講錄影片段

他講的三個故事中的前兩個~是我以前就大概知道的~他的生平事蹟~
所以沒有什麼太強烈的感覺~
但是~有一段我覺得很棒~就是最後一個故事中的這一段:
================================================
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.
================================================
我想我以後~可以試試這樣的方法~來幫助自己做一些決定~

而老師今天拿給我們看的是第二個故事中的一段:
================================================
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.
================================================
我,很幸運的,已經找到~並且在從事我愛的工作了~
一切好像是那麼的湊巧偶然~又好像是那麼的命中注定~
中間的故事以後有機會再寫好了~:P

他的第一個故事讓我想到~之前有人半開玩笑說過~
微軟的Bill Gates,蘋果的Steve Jobs,Google的Larry Page和Sergey Brin...~
這些人人欽羨的科技貴族~都是大學或研究所輟學的~
依此類推~我們這些還在學校裡苦讀的~以後都不會有什麼大成就~XD
所以...大家都不要唸書了~輟學出去創業比較快~

上面雖然是玩笑話~但還是有可參考性在~
如果你找不到自己為了什麼唸書~那就不要再繼續淪陷下去~去做可以讓你過想要的人生的事情吧~
(國中以下的小朋友請不要理這兩段~你不知道自己為什麼要唸書是因為你還小~
長大你就會懂九年義務教育是要教你非學不可的人生基本知識~
千萬不要拿這兩段去跟你爸媽argue說你不要唸書考試寫作業了~阿彌陀佛~)

(太晚了~該睡覺了~明早起來再繼續寫完這篇...)

  1. 事隔多年~因為李開復的離職信又看到引用這篇的文句~
    發現一段之前沒注意的~現在看來真是感觸良多~
    =======================================
    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.
    =======================================
