李一诺说:
不得不说,乔布斯 2005 年斯坦福大学毕业典礼上的演讲,真是字字珠玑。我差不多每年读一两遍吧,却在十多年后,才能完全地拥抱它。
“
你的时间有限,所以不要浪费在过别人的生活上。不要被教条束缚 — 就是按照别人思考的结果生活。不要让别人意见的噪音熄灭你内心的声音。最重要的是,拥有勇气,跟随你的直觉和内心,它们几乎早已知道,你到底想要成为什么样子。所有其他东西都是次要的。
记得自己是会死的,是帮助我做出生命中重大决定的最重要工具。因为几乎所有的事 — 所有外界的期待、所有的骄傲、所有对难堪或是失败的恐惧 — 在死亡面前都会消隐,留下真正重要的东西。
”
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.
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 tobecome. Everything else is secondary.
