財(cái)富精英勵(lì)志演講 05:我生命中的三個(gè)故事(5)

[00:01.16] This was the closest I 've been to facing death, and I hope its the closest I get for a few more decades. 這是我距離死亡最近的一次，我希望它也是未來幾十年里我離死亡最近的一次。 [00:07.17] 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. 經(jīng)歷了這件事，死亡對(duì)我而言已經(jīng)不再只是一種有益卻僅限于純粹想象的概念，因此我可以更加確信地跟你們談起我對(duì)死亡的看法：沒有人想要死， [00:18.35] Even people who want to go to heaven do not want to die to get there. 即使人們想上天堂, 他們也不會(huì)為了去那里而死， [00:22.43] And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. 但是死亡是我們共同的終點(diǎn)，從來沒有人能夠逃脫它。 [00:28.38] And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. 而這也是合理的，因?yàn)樗劳龊芸赡苁巧詈玫囊豁?xiàng)發(fā)明， [00:35.25] It is Life's change agent. 它是生命變化的推動(dòng)者， [00:37.02] It clears out the old to make way for the new. 它清除老朽而為新生代開路。 [00:40.16] Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. 現(xiàn)在的你們就是新生代，但是在不久之后的某天，你們就會(huì)漸漸變成老朽而被清除出人生的舞臺(tái)。 [00:48.49] Sorry to be so dramatic, but it is quite true. 抱歉說得這么夸張，但是這是事實(shí)。 [00:52.57] Your time is limited, so do not waste it living someone else's life. 你的時(shí)間有限，別浪費(fèi)生命過別人的生活。 [00:58.19] do not be trapped by dogma? which is living with the results of other people's thinking. 要被教條所束縛，因?yàn)槟鞘莿e人生活的目的。 [01:03.29] do not let the noise of others ' opinions drown out your own inner voice. 別讓其他人的不同意見壓過你自己內(nèi)心的聲音。 [01:07.39] And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. 最重要的是，要勇于追隨自己的內(nèi)心和直覺， [01:11.56] They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary. 它們其實(shí)早已知道你想要成為什么，除此以外都是次要的。 [01:21.38] When I was young, there was an amazing publication called The Whole Earth Catalog, which was one of the bibles of my generation. 當(dāng)我年輕的時(shí)候，有一份非常精彩的刊物，叫做《全球概覽》，那是我們那一代人視為圣經(jīng)的讀物之一。 [01:38.38] 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. 它由斯圖爾特·布蘭德在離這里不遠(yuǎn)的門洛帕克創(chuàng)辦，他把詩意帶進(jìn)雜志，賦予它鮮活的生命力。 [01:46.35] This was in the late 1960's, before personal computers and desktop publishing, so it was all made with typewriters, scissors, and polaroid cameras. 那是在1960年代末，這本刊物全部由打字機(jī)、剪刀和寶麗來相機(jī)制作出來。 [01:55.01] 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. 有點(diǎn)像平裝版的谷歌，但早于谷歌問世35年。這就是理想主義，充滿著整潔的工具和偉大的奇想。 [02:05.41] 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. 斯圖爾特和他的團(tuán)隊(duì)出版了幾期《全球概覽》之后，順其自然地出版了最后一期。 [02:13.42] It was the mid-1970s, and I was your age. 那是1970年代中期，而我正如你們這般年紀(jì)。 [02:18.55] On the back cover of their final issue was a photograph of an early morning country road, 在最后一期的封底上，是一條清晨鄉(xiāng)間小路的照片， [02:24.37] the kind you might find yourself hitchhiking on if you were so adventurous. 如果你富有冒險(xiǎn)精神，它可能就是你要搭車的那種小路。 [02:29.13] Beneath it were the words:" Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish." It was their farewell message as they signed off. 照片下面是一行字：“求知若饑，虛心若愚”。那就是他們?？呐R別贈(zèng)言。 [02:37.20] Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish. 求知若饑，虛心若愚。 [02:40.26] And I have always wished that for myself. 我總是對(duì)自己抱著這樣的期望。 [02:43.57] And now, as you graduate to begin anew, I wish that for you. 而現(xiàn)在，在你們畢業(yè)即將踏上新生活的一刻，我也這樣祝愿你們。 [02:49.15] Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish. 求知若饑，虛心若愚。 [02:52.13] Thank you all very much. 非常感謝你們。
