Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish.——乔布斯在2005

最后的神

伟大的艺术家乔布斯离我们远去了。
在他光辉的、传奇的一生中，他首先是个艺术家，一个宗教布道者，然后才是一个伟大的工程师。
然我们回味他在2005年的演讲吧。这篇演讲充满了圣启的味道。

求知若饥，虚心若愚 (Stay Hungry , Stay Foolish) -- Apple CEO Steve Jobs史丹佛毕业演讲
今天，很荣幸来到各位从世界上最好的学校之一毕业的毕业典礼上。我从来没从大学毕业过，说实话，这是我离大学毕业最近的一刻。
今天，我只说三个故事，不谈大道理，三个故事就好。   
第一个故事，是关于人生中的点点滴滴如何串连在一起。  
我在里德学院(Reed College)待了六个月就办休学了。 到我退学前，一共休学了十八个月。那么，我为什么休学？(听众笑)这得从我出生前讲起。  
我的亲生母亲当时是个研究生，年轻未婚妈妈，她决定让别人收养我。她强烈觉得应该让有大学毕业的人收养我，所以我出生时，她就准备让我被一对律师夫妇收养。但是这对夫妻到了最后一刻反悔了，他们想收养女孩。   
所以在等待收养名单上的一对夫妻，我的养父母，在一天半夜里接到一通电话，问他们「有一名意外出生的男孩，你们要认养他吗？」而他们的回答是「当然要」。   
后来，我的生母发现，我现在的妈妈从来没有大学毕业，我现在的爸爸则连高中毕业也没有。 她拒绝在认养文件上做最后签字。直到几个月后，我的养父母保证将来一定会让我上大学，她的态度才软化。   
十七年后，我上大学了。但是当时我无知地选了一所学费几乎跟史丹佛一样贵的大学(听众笑)，我那工人阶级的父母将所有积蓄都花在我的学费上。   
六个月后，我看不出念这个书的价值何在。那时候，我不知道这辈子要干什么，也不知道念大学能对我有什么帮助，只知道我为了念这个书，花光了我父母这辈子的所有积蓄。所以，我决定休学，相信船到桥头自然直。当时这个决定看来相当可怕，可是现在看来，那是我这辈子做过最好的决定之一。(听众笑)
当我休学之后，我再也不用上我没兴趣的必修课，把时间拿去听那些我有兴趣的课。这一点也不浪漫。我没有宿舍，所以我睡在友人家里的地板上，靠着回收可乐空罐的退费五分钱买吃的。每个星期天晚上得走七哩的路，绕过大半个镇去印度教的 Hare Krishna神庙吃顿好料，我喜欢 Hare Krishna 神庙的好料。   
就这样追随我的好奇与直觉，大部分我所投入过的事务， 后来看来都成了无比珍贵的经历(And much of what I stumbled into by following my curiosity and intuition turned out to be priceless later on)。
举个例来说。当时里德学院有着大概是全国最好的书写教育。校园内的每一张海报上，每个抽屉的标签上，都是美丽的手写字。
因为我休学了，可以不照正常选课程序来，所以我跑去上书写课。 我学了serif 与sanserif 字体，学到在不同字母组合间变更字间距，学到活字印刷伟大的地方。 书写的美好、历史感与艺术感是科学所无法掌握的，我觉得这很迷人。   
我没预期过学这些东西能在我生活中起些什么实际作用，不过十年后，当我在设计第一台麦金塔时，我想起了当时所学的东西，所以把这些东西都设计进了麦金塔里，这是第一台能印刷出漂亮东西的电脑。如果我没沉溺于那样一门课里，麦金塔可能就不会有多重字体跟等比例间距字体了。   
又因为 Windows抄袭了麦金塔的使用方式(听众鼓掌大笑)。因此，如果当年我没有休学，没有去上那门书写课，大概所有的个人电脑都不会有这些东西，印不出现在我们看到的漂亮的字来了。当然，当我还在大学里时，不可能把这些点点滴滴预先串连在一起，但在十年后的今天回顾，一切就显得非常清楚。
我再说一次，你无法预先把点点滴滴串连起来；只有在未来回顾时， 你才会明白那些点点滴滴是如何串在一起的(you can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards)。 所以你得相信，眼前你经历的种种，将来多少会连结在一起。你得信任某个东西，直觉也好，命运也好，生命也好，或者业力。
这种作法从来没让我失望，我的人生因此变得完全不同。(Jobs 停下来喝水)
我的第二个故事，是有关爱与失去。   
我很幸运－年轻时就发现自己爱做什么事。我二十岁时，跟Steve Wozniak在我爸妈的车库里开始了苹果电脑的事业。
我们拚命工作，苹果电脑在十年间从一间车库里的两个小伙子扩展成了一家员工超过四千人、市价二十亿美金的公司。在那事件之前一年推出了我们最棒的作品－麦金塔电脑(Macintosh)，那时我才刚迈入三十岁；然后，我被解雇了。
我怎么会被自己创办的公司给解雇了？(听众笑)
嗯，当苹果电脑成长后，我请了一个我以为在经营公司上很有才干的家伙来，他在头几年也确实干得不错。可是我们对未来的愿景不同，最后只好分道扬镳，董事会站在他那边，就这样在我 30岁的时候，公开把我给解雇了。
我失去了整个生活的重心，我的人生就这样被摧毁。有几个月，我不知道要做些什么。我觉得我令企业界的前辈们失望－我把他们交给我的接力棒弄丢了。
我见了创办 HP的 David Packard 跟创办Intel的 Bob Noyce，跟他们说很抱歉我把事情给搞砸了。我成了公众眼中失败的示范，我甚至想要离开硅谷。
但是渐渐的，我发现，我还是喜爱那些我做过的事情，在苹果电脑中经历的那些事丝毫没有改变我爱做的事。
虽然我被否定了，可是我还是爱做那些事情，所以我决定从头来过 。
当时我没发现，但现在看来，被苹果电脑开除，是我所经历过最好的事情。
成功的沉重被从头来过的轻松所取代，每件事情都不那么确定，让我自由进入这辈子最有创意的年代。
接下来五年，我开了一家叫做NeXT的公司，又开一家叫做Pixar的公司，也跟后来的老婆(Laurene)谈起了恋爱。 Pixar接着制作了世界上第一部全电脑动画电影，玩具总动员（Toy Story），现在是世界上最成功的动画制作公司（听众鼓掌大笑）。  
然后，苹果电脑买下了NeXT，我回到了苹果，我们在NeXT发展的技术成了苹果电脑后来复兴的核心部份。我也有了个美妙的家庭。我很确定，如果当年苹果电脑没开除我，就不会发生这些事情。
这帖药很苦口，可是我想苹果电脑这个病人需要这帖药。有时候，人生会用砖头打你的头。不要丧失信心。
我确信我爱我所做的事情，这就是这些年来支持我继续走下去的唯一理由( I'm convinced that the only thing that kept me going was that I loved what I did ）。
你得找出你的最爱，工作上是如此，人生伴侣也是如此。
你的工作将占掉你人生的一大部分，唯一真正获得满足的方法就是做你相信是伟大的工作，而唯一做伟大工作的方法是 爱你所做的事(And the only way to do great work is to love what you do)。
如果你还没找到这些事，继续找，别停顿。尽你全心全力，你知道你一定会找到。而且，如同任何伟大的事业，事情只会随着时间愈来愈好。所以，在你找到之前，继续找，别停顿。（听众鼓掌， Jobs喝水）  
我的第三个故事，是关于死亡。
当我十七岁时，我读到一则格言，好像是「把每一天都当成生命中的最后一天，你就会轻松自在。(If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you'll most certainly be right)」（听众笑）   
这对我影响深远， 在过去 33 年里，我每天早上都会照镜子，自问：「如果今天是此生最后一日，我今天要做些什么？」
每当我连续太多天都得到一个「没事做」的答案时， 我就知道我必须有所改变了。 提醒自己快死了，是我在人生中面临重大决定时，所用过最重要的方法。
因为几乎每件事－所有外界期望、所有的名声、所有对困窘或失败的恐惧－在面对死亡时，都消失了，只有最真实重要的东西才会留下（ 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 ）。
提醒自己快死了，是我所知避免掉入畏惧失去的陷阱里最好的方法。人生不带来、死不带去，没理由不能顺心而为。
一年前，我被诊断出癌症。我在早上七点半作断层扫瞄，在胰脏清楚出现一个肿瘤，我连胰脏是什么都不知道。医生告诉我，那几乎可以确定是一种不治之症，预计我大概活不到三到六个月了。
医生建议我回家，好好跟亲人们聚一聚，这是医生对临终病人的标准建议。那代表你得试着在几个月内把你将来十年想跟小孩讲的话讲完。那代表你得把每件事情搞定，家人才会尽量轻松。那代表你得跟人说再见了。
我整天想着那个诊断结果，那天晚上做了一次切片，从喉咙伸入一个内视镜，穿过胃进到肠子，将探针伸进胰脏，取了一些肿瘤细胞出来。我打了镇静剂，不醒人事，但是我老婆在场。她后来跟我说，当医生们用显微镜看过那些细胞后，他们都哭了，因为那是非常少见的一种胰脏癌，可以用手术治好。所以我接受了手术，康复了。（听众鼓掌）
这是我最接近死亡的时候，我希望那会继续是未来几十年内最接近的一次。
经历此事后，我可以比先前死亡只是纯粹想象时，要能更肯定地告诉你们下面这些：没有人想死。即使那些想上天堂的人，也想活着上天堂 。 （听众笑）
但是死亡是我们共同的终点，没有人逃得过。这是注定的，因为死亡很可能就是生命中最棒的发明，是生命交替的媒介，送走老人们，给新生代开出道路。
现在你们是新生代，但是不久的将来，你们也会逐渐变老，被送出人生的舞台。抱歉讲得这么戏剧化，但是这是真的。
你们的时间有限，所以不要浪费时间活在别人的生活里。
不要被教条所局限 -- 盲从教条就是活在别人思考结果里。
不要让别人的意见淹没了你内在的心声。最重要的，拥有追随自己内心与直觉的勇气，你的内心与直觉多少已经知道你真正想要成为什么样的人（ have the courage  to follow your heart and intuition.   They somehow already know what you truly want to become ），任何其他事物都是次要的。（听众鼓掌）
在我年轻时，有本神奇的杂志叫做《Whole Earth Catalog 》，当年这可是我们的经典读物。那是位住在离这不远的 Menlo Park的Stewart Brand发行的，他把杂志办得很有诗意。   
那是 1960年代末期，个人电脑跟桌上出版还没出现，所有内容都是打字机、剪刀跟拍立得相机做出来的。杂志内容有点像印在纸上的平面 Google ，在Google 出现之前35年就有了：这本杂志很理想主义，充满新奇工具与伟大的见解。   
Stewart 跟他的团队出版了好几期的《Whole Earth Catalog》，然后很自然的，最后出了停刊号。当时是 1970 年代中期，我正是你们现在这个年龄的时候。在停刊号的封底，有张清晨乡间小路的照片，那种你四处搭便车冒险旅行时会经过的乡间小路。在照片下印了行小字：
    求知若饥，虚心若愚（Stay Hungry , Stay Foolish ）。   
那是他们亲笔写下的告别讯息，我总是以此自许。 当你们毕业，展开新生活，我也以此祝福你们。   
    求知若饥，虚心若愚（Stay Hungry , Stay Foolish ）。
  
非常谢谢大家。（听众起立鼓掌二分钟）

最后的神

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 closest 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.
The first story is about connecting the dots.
I dropped out of Reed College after the first 6 months, but then stayed around as a drop-in for another 18 months or so before I really quit. So why did I drop out?
Again, you can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards.
It started before I was born. My biological mother was a young, unwed college graduate student, and she decided to put me up for adoption. She felt very strongly that I should be adopted by college graduates, so everything was all set for me to be adopted at birth by a lawyer and his wife. Except that when I popped out they decided at the last minute that they really wanted a girl. So my parents, who were on a waiting list, got a call in the middle of the night asking: “We have an unexpected baby boy; do you want him?” They said: “Of course.” My biological mother later found out that my mother had never graduated from college and that my father had never graduated from high school. She refused to sign the final adoption papers. She only relented a few months later when my parents promised that I would someday go to college.
And 17 years later I did go to college. But I naively chose a college that was almost as expensive as Stanford, and all of my working-class parents’ savings were being spent on my college tuition. After six months, I couldn’t see the value in it. I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life and no idea how college was going to help me figure it out. And here I was spending all of the money my parents had saved their entire life. So I decided to drop out and trust that it would all work out OK. It was pretty scary at the time, but looking back it was one of the best decisions I ever made. The minute I dropped out I could stop taking the required classes that didn’t interest me, and begin dropping in on the ones that looked interesting.
It wasn’t all romantic. I didn’t have a dorm room, so I slept on the floor in friends’ rooms, I returned coke bottles for the 5 deposits to buy food with, and I would walk the 7 miles across town every Sunday night to get one good meal a week at the Hare Krishna temple. I loved it. And much of what I stumbled into by following my curiosity and intuition turned out to be priceless later on. Let me give you one example:
Reed College at that time offered perhaps the best calligraphy instruction in the country. Throughout the campus every poster, every label on every drawer, was beautifully hand calligraphed. Because I had dropped out and didn’t have to take the normal classes, I decided to take a calligraphy class to learn how to do this. I learned about serif and san serif typefaces, about varying the amount of space between different letter combinations, about what makes great typography great. It was beautiful, historical, artistically subtle in a way that science can’t capture, and I found it fascinating.
None of this had even a hope of any practical application in my life. But ten years later, when we were designing the first Macintosh computer, it all came back to me. And we designed it all into the Mac. It was the first computer with beautiful typography. If I had never dropped in on that single course in college, the Mac would have never had multiple typefaces or proportionally spaced fonts. And since Windows just copied the Mac, its likely that no personal computer would have them. If I had never dropped out, I would have never dropped in on this calligraphy class, and personal computers might not have the wonderful typography that they do. Of course it was impossible to connect the dots looking forward when I was in college. But it was very, very clear looking backwards ten years later.
Again, 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.
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.
I was lucky — I found what I loved to do early in life. Woz and I started Apple in my parents garage when I was 20. We worked hard, and in 10 years Apple had grown from just the two of us in a garage into a $2 billion company with over 4000 employees. We had just released our finest creation — the Macintosh — a year earlier, and I had just turned 30. And then I got fired. How can you get fired from a company you started? Well, as Apple grew we hired someone who I thought was very talented to run the company with me, and for the first year or so things went well. But then our visions of the future began to diverge and eventually we had a falling out. When we did, our Board of Directors sided with him. So at 30 I was out. And very publicly out. What had been the focus of my entire adult life was gone, and it was devastating.
I really didn’t know what to do for a few months. I felt that I had let the previous generation of entrepreneurs down – that I had dropped the baton as it was being passed to me. I met with David Packard and Bob Noyce and tried to apologize for screwing up so badly. I was a very public failure, and I even thought about running away from the valley. But something slowly began to dawn on me — I still loved what I did. The turn of events at Apple had not changed that one bit. I had been rejected, but I was still in love. And so I decided to start over.
I didn’t see it then, but it turned out that getting fired from Apple was the best thing that could have ever happened to me. The heaviness of being successful was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner again, less sure about everything. It freed me to enter one of the most creative periods of my life.
During the next five years, I started a company named NeXT, another company named Pixar, and fell in love with an amazing woman who would become my wife. Pixar went on to create the worlds first computer animated feature film, Toy Story, and is now the most successful animation studio in the world. In a remarkable turn of events, Apple bought NeXT, I returned to Apple, and the technology we developed at NeXT is at the heart of Apple’s current renaissance. And Laurene and I have a wonderful family together.
I’m pretty sure none of this would have happened if I hadn’t been fired from Apple. It was awful tasting medicine, but I guess the patient needed it. 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.
Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose.
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.
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.
About a year ago I was diagnosed 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 advised 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 sedated, but my wife, who was there, told me that when they viewed the cells under a microscope the doctors started crying because 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 closest I’ve been to facing death, and I hope its the closest 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 useful 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, because 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 someday 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 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.
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 several issues of The Whole Earth Catalog, and then when it had run its course, 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 yourself 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 myself. And now, as you graduate to begin anew, I wish that for you.
Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish.
Thank you all very much.

产品和艺术是两回事，产品讲的是体验，艺术是小部分人欣赏的，这里有多少人会被梵高、毕加索震撼到？

还有人说乔布斯是伟大的企业家，杰克韦尔奇才是伟大的企业家；乔布斯就是个伟大的无出其右的产品大师，他冲到最前线靠产品拯救了企业，而不是管理。

纪念一个人不需要盲目崇拜，有人把崇拜当做一种时尚，就像当年很多人都没听过beat it的人跳出来说崇拜MJ一样。

摘出演讲中我最喜欢的八句话，参照原文，中文翻译得太差——不仅没有原文的意境与字里行间的力量，一些关键警句完全词不达意！

And much of what I stumbled into, by following my curiosity and intuition, turned out to be priceless later on....None of these had even a hope of practical application in my life.
大部份因为我的好奇心与直觉，而让我人生失足的地方，稍后都成为无价的资产……但之前我从没冀望这会在我的生命有任何的实用。

You have to trust in something - your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever - because believing that the dots will connect down the road, will give you the confidence to follow your heart, even when it leads you off the well-worn path, and that will make all the difference.
你必需要有信心，无论是你的直觉、命运、生命、业力等，因为相信这些点滴终究会连结在一起，可以给你信心朝自己的理想迈进，就算是引领你远离传统的路子，那都会很不同凡响。

I was a very public failure and I even thought about running away from the Valley. But something slowly began to dawn on me. I still loved what I did.
我是个公认的失败者，甚至想要逃离硅谷，但有个东西慢慢地开始让我顿悟，那就是我仍爱着我做过的事。

The heaviness of being successful was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner again, less sure about everything. It freed me to enter one of the most creative periods in my life.
成功者的沉重负担，由菜鸟的无忧无虑所取代，不再绝对肯定所有的事，解雇也是解放，我进入了人生其中一个创造黄金期。

It was awful-tasting medicine but I guess the patient needed it. Sometimes life's gonna hit you in the head with a brick. Don't lose faith....So keep looking, don't settle.
良药苦口，但正是病人所需，有时，生命会像是在拿砖块砸你的头，但你不能失去信心……所以持续寻找，不要停！

If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you'll most certainly be right.
如果你能将每天都当作是生命的最后一天来活，有天你一定能做出对的决定。

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.
记得自己将死是我所知，对抗自陷失落感迷宫最有效的方法，因为你已经赤裸裸地面对着生命，所以没有理由不顺应内心的声音。

On the back cover of their final issue was a photograph of an early morning country road, the kind you might find yourself hitchhiking on if you were so adventurous. Beneath were the words, "Stay hungry, stay foolish."
在停刊号的封底，有一幅清晨乡间小路的相片，就是那种你去冒险搭便车时会看到的景象，图下有行字，「保持好奇，虚心接纳」（朝得道，夕死可矣！）

北窗同学，你翻译的也不是很合适哦。
If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you'll most certainly be right.
如果你能将每天都当作是生命的最后一天来活，有天你一定能做出对的决定。



更好是：如果你把每天当成生命最后一天来活，总有一天你会是对的！（就是你真的到了生命最后一天了，是个玩笑）

幸好神在二楼贴了原文，发现一个值得商榷的翻译：

在过去 33 年里，我每天早上都会照镜子，自问：「如果今天是此生最后一日，我今天要做些什么？」每当我连续太多天都得到一个「没事做」的答案时， 我就知道我必须有所改变了。

而原文是：

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.

因此我认为应该是：

在过去 33 年里，当我每天早晨照镜子的时候问自己：“如果今天是此生最后一日，我是否还想做我原来打算做的事？”当连续太多天都得到一个「不是」的答案时， 我就知道我必须有所改变了。

个人感觉这里面的差别还不小，而且看着会困惑，起码我看的时候就有点儿。
