You know, we don't grow most of the food we eat. We wear clothes other people make. We speak a language that other people developed. We use a mathematics that other people evolved… I mean, we're constantly taking things. It's a wonderful, ecstatic feeling to create something that puts it back in the pool of human experience and knowledge.
你知道，我们并不种植自己所食之物，穿着别人制作的衣服，说着别人发明的语言，用着别人推演的数学……一直采取拿来主义。创造新事物，将其放回人类经验知识池，那感觉美妙而狂喜。

Don't equate making mistakes with being a mistake. There is no such thing as a successful person who has not failed or made mistakes, there are successful people who made mistakes and changed their lives or performance in response to them, and so got it right the next time. They viewed mistakes as warnings rather than signs of hopeless inadequacy. Never making a mistake means never living life to the full.
莫将犯错等同于错误。成功者不失败或不犯错，世间从无此事，相反，成功者在犯错之后，做出相应改正，下次就不重蹈覆辙。他们将错误视为警告而非绝望不足的迹象。从不犯错意味着从未充分生活过。
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.
成就伟业，别无他途，热爱自己的事业。倘若尚未找到，那就继续寻找，切莫止步。听从内心，找到热爱的事业，那时你自然明白。
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 other's 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.
你的时间有限，莫浪费时间为别人而活。莫被教条束缚 -- 按别人思考结果而活。莫让他人意见淹没内心声音。最重要的，鼓足勇气，遵从内心与直觉。不知何故，它们明白你真实意图，其余都是次要的。
I would trade all of my technology for an afternoon with Socrates.

Do you want to spend the rest of your life selling sugared water or do you want a chance to change the world?
想要卖糖水度过余生，还是想要机会改变世界？
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.
死亡很可能是生命唯一的最佳发明。它是生命的促变者，清除旧一代，为新一代开道。
If you do something and it turns out pretty good, then you should go do something else wonderful, not dwell on it for too long. Just figure out what's next。
若某事你做得漂亮，那应做其它精彩事，莫在它上面呆得太久，搞清楚接下来做什么。
Being the richest man in the cemetery doesn't matter to me … Going to bed at night saying we've done something wonderful… that's what matters to me。
成为墓地首富，对我无关紧要…夜晚上床时说：我们事做得很精彩，那才对我很重要。
Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose。
记住你总会辞世，是避免“患得患失”思考陷阱的最佳方法。
Life is brief, and then you die, you know?
人生短暂，然后辞世，明白吗？
You can't just ask customers what they want and then try to give that to them. By the time you get it built, they'll want something new.
你不能只问顾客要什么，然后尽力满足其要求。等你辛苦做出来，他们却另有新欢。
Stay hungry, stay foolish.
求知若饥，虚心若愚。（合乎道家思想）
