Stay hungry, stay foolish

歲末年終,仍然是一個沒有約會的夜晚。今天的課有八堂,滿堂,回到宿舍卻不那么累。宿舍是預料的空蕩,唯獨網路上各大網站的年度回顧整理,鬧哄哄。你只想掃描過標題,考考看自己國內最熱門年度政客是誰,最性感的女歌星是誰,最扯的議題是什么,十大、二十大……

這部短片恰好閃過: Steve Jobs(Apple+Pixar CEO), How to live before you die


不是刻意花心思去回顧2009,只是則2005 Stanford畢業典禮的演講。對,你純粹想藉由各種手段刺激自己,免于落入孤單邊界——“生活,在你死之前”——只有夠大牌的人物演說,才會有說服力的主題(Apple創辦人差不多夠了)。

他說了三個簡單的故事:
Connecting the dot- U can't connect the dot looking forward, u can only connect them looking backward. So u have to trust the dot will somehow connecting the future, u have to trust in something, your god, destiny, life whatever. Because believing the dot connecting down the road will give u the confidence to follow your heart even when it lead u off the well warm path and that will make all the difference.

Love and lost- The only thing that kept me going is, I love what I did. If u haven't found it yet, keep looking and don't settle, as what all matter of heart u will know when u find it, and like any great relationship it just get better and better as the years roll on.

Death- Remembering that u are going to die is the best way i know, to avoid the trap of thinking u have something to lose. U are already naked, there is no reason not to follow your heart.
Have the courage to follow your heart and enthusiasm, they somehow already know, what u truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.

這是你2009年聽到的最后一場有共鳴的演講,他喚起了你2008年的游歷,種種的工作經驗,當然還有學期末前你混過若干堂不興趣的課……

Let this be your first speech in 2010.
"Stay hungry, stay foolish!"
