Stay Hungry, Stay Foolish

「Stay Hungry, Stay Foolish」是這個部落格的名稱，也是我對自己的期許。相信應該有不少人知道，這個句子，事實上，是源自於蘋果電腦創辦人-- Steve Jobs 在2005年6月12日， 參加史丹佛大學（Stanford University）的畢業典禮，所發表的一場演講(原文講稿請參閱史丹佛大學官方網站)

這是一場非常動人且勵志的演說。

Steve Jobs，利用他生命中三個故事，跟台下的畢業生，說明人生中重大的道理。Steve Jobs沒有用冠冕堂皇的話，沒有用制式的教條，去包裝他所要傳達的訊息。反而是利用最簡單、最有趣也最容易被吸收的方式--講故事的方式，來闡述人生中的道理。這樣的方式，不僅讓整個演說不會那麼枯燥 (還記得學生時代，一些重要典禮上”貴賓”的致詞吧?! 通常都是呆板、無聊)，也讓人對他想講的道理，更印象深刻。

下面是整篇演說中，一些我認為很值得細細品味的段落

“….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...”

“…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…”

“…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…”

在演說的最後，Steve Jobs說一直以來，他都以「Stay Hungry, Stay Foolish」作為自我的期許，他也以這句話祝福台下的畢業生。這句話其實它字面的意思，非常簡單，要說明的道理也不深，但是，要真的身體力行，卻不是那麼容易。

因此，我也要向Steve Jobs看齊，以「Stay Hungry, Stay Foolish」自許。

也用這句話來祝福看這篇文章的妳/你。
