"We are What We Choose"
Remarks by Jeff Bezos, as delivered to the Class of 2010
Baccalaureate
May 30, 2010

As a kid, I spent my summers with my grandparents on their ranch in Texas. I helped fix windmills, vaccinate cattle, and do other chores. We also watched soap operas every afternoon, especially "Days of our Lives." My grandparents belonged to a Caravan Club, a group of Airstream trailer owners who travel together around the U.S. and Canada. And every few summers, we'd join the caravan. We'd hitch up the Airstream trailer to my grandfather's car, and off we'd go, in a line with 300 other Airstream adventurers. I loved and worshipped my grandparents and I really looked forward to these trips. On one particular trip, I was about 10 years old. I was rolling around in the big bench seat in the back of the car. My grandfather was driving. And my grandmother had the passenger seat. She smoked throughout these trips, and I hated the smell.

At that age, I'd take any excuse to make estimates and do minor arithmetic. I'd calculate our gas mileage -- figure out useless statistics on things like grocery spending. I'd been hearing an ad campaign about smoking. I can't remember the details, but basically the ad said, every puff of a cigarette takes some number of minutes off of your life: I think it might have been two minutes per puff. At any rate, I decided to do the math for my grandmother. I estimated the number of cigarettes per days, estimated the number of puffs per cigarette and so on. When I was satisfied that I'd come up with a reasonable number, I poked my head into the front of the car, tapped my grandmother on the shoulder, and proudly proclaimed, "At two minutes per puff, you've taken nine years off your life!"

I have a vivid memory of what happened, and it was not what I expected. I expected to be applauded for my cleverness and arithmetic skills. "Jeff, you're so smart. You had to have made some tricky estimates, figure out the number of minutes in a year and do some division." That's not what happened. Instead, my grandmother burst into tears. I sat in the backseat and did not know what to do. While my grandmother sat crying, my grandfather, who had been driving in silence, pulled over onto the shoulder of the highway. He got out of the car and came around and opened my door and waited for me to follow. Was I in trouble? My grandfather was a highly intelligent, quiet man. He had never said a harsh word to me, and maybe this was to be the first time? Or maybe he would ask that I get back in the car and apologize to my grandmother. I had no experience in this realm with my grandparents and no way to gauge what the consequences might be. We stopped beside the trailer. My grandfather looked at me, and after a bit of silence, he gently and calmly said, "Jeff, one day you'll understand that it's harder to be kind than clever."

What I want to talk to you about today is the difference between gifts and choices. Cleverness is a gift, kindness is a choice. Gifts are easy -- they're given after all. Choices can be hard. You can seduce yourself with your gifts if you're not careful, and if you do, it'll probably be to the detriment of your choices.

This is a group with many gifts. I'm sure one of your gifts is the gift of a smart and capable brain. I'm confident that's the case because admission is competitive and if there weren't some signs that you're clever, the dean of admission wouldn't have let you in.

Your smarts will come in handy because you will travel in a land of marvels. We humans -- plodding as we are -- will astonish ourselves. We'll invent ways to generate clean energy and a lot of it. Atom by atom, we'll assemble tiny machines that will enter cell walls and make repairs. This month comes the extraordinary but also inevitable news that we've synthesized life. In the coming years, we'll not only synthesize it, but we'll engineer it to specifications. I believe you'll even see us understand the human brain. Jules Verne, Mark Twain, Galileo, Newton -- all the curious from the ages would have wanted to be alive most of all right now. As a civilization, we will have so many gifts, just as you as individuals have so many individual gifts as you sit before me.

How will you use these gifts? And will you take pride in your gifts or pride in your choices?

I got the idea to start Amazon 16 years ago. I came across the fact that Web usage was growing at 2,300 percent per year. I'd never seen or heard of anything that grew that fast, and the idea of building an online bookstore with millions of titles -- something that simply couldn't exist in the physical world -- was very exciting to me. I had just turned 30 years old, and I'd been married for a year. I told my wife MacKenzie that I wanted to quit my job and go do this crazy thing that probably wouldn't work since most startups don't, and I wasn't sure what would happen after that. MacKenzie (also a Princeton grad and sitting here in the second row) told me I should go for it. As a young boy, I'd been a garage inventor. I'd invented an automatic gate closer out of cement-filled tires, a solar cooker that didn't work very well out of an umbrella and tinfoil, baking-pan alarms to entrap my siblings. I'd always wanted to be an inventor, and she wanted me to follow my passion.

I was working at a financial firm in New York City with a bunch of very smart people, and I had a brilliant boss that I much admired. I went to my boss and told him I wanted to start a company selling books on the Internet. He took me on a long walk in Central Park, listened carefully to me, and finally said, "That sounds like a really good idea, but it would be an even better idea for someone who didn't already have a good job." That logic made some sense to me, and he convinced me to think about it for 48 hours before making a final decision. Seen in that light, it really was a difficult choice, but ultimately, I decided I had to give it a shot. I didn't think I'd regret trying and failing. And I suspected I would always be haunted by a decision to not try at all. After much consideration, I took the less safe path to follow my passion, and I'm proud of that choice.

Tomorrow, in a very real sense, your life -- the life you author from scratch on your own -- begins.

How will you use your gifts? What choices will you make?

Will inertia be your guide, or will you follow your passions?

Will you follow dogma, or will you be original?

Will you choose a life of ease, or a life of service and adventure?

Will you wilt under criticism, or will you follow your convictions?

Will you bluff it out when you're wrong, or will you apologize?

Will you guard your heart against rejection, or will you act when you fall in love?

Will you play it safe, or will you be a little bit swashbuckling?

When it's tough, will you give up, or will you be relentless?

Will you be a cynic, or will you be a builder?

Will you be clever at the expense of others, or will you be kind?

I will hazard a prediction. When you are 80 years old, and in a quiet moment of reflection narrating for only yourself the most personal version of your life story, the telling that will be most compact and meaningful will be the series of choices you have made. In the end, we are our choices. Build yourself a great story. Thank you and good luck!

抵抗天賦的誘惑
杰夫·貝索斯 亞馬遜CEO  
在我還是一個(gè)孩子的時(shí)候,我的夏天總是在德州祖父母的農場(chǎng)中度過(guò)。我幫忙修理風(fēng)車(chē),為牛接種疫苗,也做其它家務(wù)。每天下午,我們都會(huì )看肥皂劇,尤其是《我們的歲月》。我的祖父母參加了一個(gè)房車(chē)俱樂(lè )部,那是一群駕駛Airstream拖掛型房車(chē)的人們,他們結伴遍游美國和加拿大。每隔幾個(gè)夏天,我也會(huì )加入他們。我們把房車(chē)掛在祖父的小汽車(chē)后面,然后加入300余名Airstream探險者們組成的浩蕩隊伍。
我愛(ài)我的祖父母,我崇敬他們,也真心期盼這些旅程。那是一次我大概十歲時(shí)的旅行,我照例坐在后座的長(cháng)椅上,祖父開(kāi)著(zhù)車(chē),祖母坐在他旁邊,吸著(zhù)煙。我討厭煙味。
在那樣的年紀,我會(huì )找任何借口做些估測或者小算術(shù)。我會(huì )計算油耗還有雜貨花銷(xiāo)等雞毛蒜皮的小事。我聽(tīng)過(guò)一個(gè)有關(guān)吸煙的廣告。我記不得細節了,但是廣告大意是說(shuō),每吸一口香煙會(huì )減少幾分鐘的壽命,大概是兩分鐘。無(wú)論如何,我決定為祖母做個(gè)算術(shù)。我估測了祖母每天要吸幾支香煙,每支香煙要吸幾口等等,然后心滿(mǎn)意足地得出了一個(gè)合理的數字。接著(zhù),我捅了捅坐在前面的祖母的頭,又拍了拍她的肩膀,然后驕傲地宣稱(chēng),“每天吸兩分鐘的煙,你就少活九年!”
我清晰地記得接下來(lái)發(fā)生了什么,而那是我意料之外的。我本期待著(zhù)小聰明和算術(shù)技巧能贏(yíng)得掌聲,但那并沒(méi)有發(fā)生。相反,我的祖母哭泣起來(lái)。我的祖父之前一直在默默開(kāi)車(chē),把車(chē)停在了路邊,走下車(chē)來(lái),打開(kāi)了我的車(chē)門(mén),等著(zhù)我跟他下車(chē)。我惹麻煩了嗎?我的祖父是一個(gè)智慧而安靜的人。他從來(lái)沒(méi)有對我說(shuō)過(guò)嚴厲的話(huà),難道這會(huì )是第一次?還是他會(huì )讓我回到車(chē)上跟祖母道歉?我以前從未遇到過(guò)這種狀況,因而也無(wú)從知曉會(huì )有什么后果發(fā)生。我們在房車(chē)旁停下來(lái)。祖父注視著(zhù)我,沉默片刻,然后輕輕地、平靜地說(shuō):“杰夫,有一天你會(huì )明白,善良比聰明更難!
選擇比天賦更重要
今天我想對你們說(shuō)的是,天賦和選擇不同。聰明是一種天賦,而善良是一種選擇。天賦得來(lái)很容易——畢竟它們與生俱來(lái)。而選擇則頗為不易。如果一不小心,你可能被天賦所誘惑,這可能會(huì )損害到你做出的選擇。
在座各位都擁有許多天賦。我確信你們的天賦之一就是擁有精明能干的頭腦。之所以如此確信,是因為入學(xué)競爭十分激烈,如果你們不能表現出聰明智慧,便沒(méi)有資格進(jìn)入這所學(xué)校。
你們的聰明才智必定會(huì )派上用場(chǎng),因為你們將在一片充滿(mǎn)奇跡的土地上行進(jìn)。我們人類(lèi),盡管跬步前行,卻終將令自己大吃一驚。我們能夠想方設法制造清潔能源,也能夠一個(gè)原子一個(gè)原子地組裝微型機械,使之穿過(guò)細胞壁,然后修復細胞。這個(gè)月,有一個(gè)異常而不可避免的事情發(fā)生了——人類(lèi)終于合成了生命。在未來(lái)幾年,我們不僅會(huì )合成生命,還會(huì )按說(shuō)明書(shū)驅動(dòng)它們。我相信你們甚至會(huì )看到我們理解人類(lèi)的大腦,儒勒·凡爾納,馬克·吐溫,伽利略,牛頓——所有那些充滿(mǎn)好奇之心的人都希望能夠活到現在。作為文明人,我們會(huì )擁有如此之多的天賦,就像是坐在我面前的你們,每一個(gè)生命個(gè)體都擁有許多獨特的天賦。
你們要如何運用這些天賦呢?你們會(huì )為自己的天賦感到驕傲,還是會(huì )為自己的選擇感到驕傲?
追隨自己內心的熱情
16年前,我萌生了創(chuàng )辦亞馬遜的想法。彼時(shí)我面對的現實(shí)是互聯(lián)網(wǎng)使用量以每年2300%的速度增長(cháng),我從未看到或聽(tīng)說(shuō)過(guò)任何增長(cháng)如此快速的東西。創(chuàng )建涵蓋幾百萬(wàn)種書(shū)籍的網(wǎng)上書(shū)店的想法令我興奮異常,因為這個(gè)東西在物理世界里根本無(wú)法存在。那時(shí)我剛剛30歲,結婚才一年。
我告訴妻子MacKenzie想辭去工作,然后去做這件瘋狂的事情,很可能會(huì )失敗,因為大部分創(chuàng )業(yè)公司都是如此,而且我不確定那之后會(huì )發(fā)生什么。MacKenzie告訴我,我應該放手一搏。在我還是一個(gè)男孩兒的時(shí)候,我是車(chē)庫發(fā)明家。我曾用水泥填充的輪胎、雨傘和錫箔以及報警器制作了一個(gè)自動(dòng)關(guān)門(mén)器。我一直想做一個(gè)發(fā)明家,MacKenzie支持我追隨內心的熱情。
我當時(shí)在紐約一家金融公司工作,同事是一群非常聰明的人,我的老板也很有智慧,我很羨慕他。我告訴我的老板我想開(kāi)辦一家在網(wǎng)上賣(mài)書(shū)的公司。他帶我在中央公園漫步良久,認真地聽(tīng)我講完,最后說(shuō):“聽(tīng)起來(lái)真是一個(gè)很好的主意,但是對那些目前沒(méi)有謀到一份好工作的人來(lái)說(shuō),這個(gè)主意會(huì )更好!
這一邏輯對我而言頗有道理,他說(shuō)服我在最終作出決定之前再考慮48小時(shí)。那樣想來(lái),這個(gè)決定確實(shí)很艱難,但是最終,我決定拼一次。我認為自己不會(huì )為嘗試過(guò)后的失敗而遺憾,倒是有所決定但完全不付諸行動(dòng)會(huì )一直煎熬著(zhù)我。在深思熟慮之后,我選擇了那條不安全的道路,去追隨我內心的熱情。我為那個(gè)決定感到驕傲。
明天,非,F實(shí)地說(shuō),你們從零塑造自己人生的時(shí)代即將開(kāi)啟。
你們會(huì )如何運用自己的天賦?你們又會(huì )作出怎樣的抉擇?
你們是被慣性所引導,還是追隨自己內心的熱情?
你們會(huì )墨守陳規,還是勇于創(chuàng )新?
你們會(huì )選擇安逸的生活,還是選擇一個(gè)奉獻與冒險的人生?
你們會(huì )屈從于批評,還是會(huì )堅守信念?
你們會(huì )掩飾錯誤,還是會(huì )坦誠道歉?
你們會(huì )因害怕拒絕而掩飾內心,還是會(huì )在面對愛(ài)情時(shí)勇往直前?
你們想要波瀾不驚,還是想要搏擊風(fēng)浪?
你們會(huì )在嚴峻的現實(shí)之下選擇放棄,還是會(huì )義無(wú)反顧地前行?
你們要做憤世嫉俗者,還是踏實(shí)的建設者?
你們要不計一切代價(jià)地展示聰明,還是選擇善良?
我要做一個(gè)預測:在你們80歲時(shí)某個(gè)追憶往昔的時(shí)刻,只有你一個(gè)人靜靜對內心訴說(shuō)著(zhù)你的人生故事,其中最為充實(shí)、最有意義的那段講述,會(huì )被你們作出的一系列決定所填滿(mǎn)。最后,是選擇塑造了我們的人生。為你自己塑造一個(gè)偉大的人生故事。
謝謝,祝你們好運!

“I think we’re having fun. I think our customers really like our products. And we’re always trying to do better.”

- Steve Jobs

His accomplishments and character helped define a generation and change the world. He is co-founder of the fairytale company we now know as Apple Computers. And he is the visionary of the personal computers world that led the entire computer hardware and software industry to restructure itself.

This man with boundless energy and charisma is also a master of hype, hyperbole and the catchy phrase. And even when he’s trying to talk normally, brilliant verbiage comes tumbling out.

Here’s a selection of some of the most insanely great things he said, golden lessons to help you succeed in life, Jobs-style:

1. Steve Jobs said: “Innovation distinguishes between a leader and a follower.”

Innovation has no limits. The only limit is your imagination. It’s time for you to begin thinking out of the box. If you are involved in a growing industry, think of ways to become more efficient; more customer friendly; and easier to do business with. If you are involved in a shrinking industry – get out of it quick and change before you become obsolete; out of work; or out of business. And remember that procrastination is not an option here. Start innovating now!

2. Steve Jobs said: “Be a yardstick of quality. Some people aren’t used to an environment where excellence is expected.”

There is no shortcut to excellence. You will have to make the commitment to make excellence your priority. Use your talents, abilities, and skills in the best way possible and get ahead of others by giving that little extra. Live by a higher standard and pay attention to the details that really do make the difference. Excellence is not difficult - simply decide right now to give it your best shot - and you will be amazed with what life gives you back.

3. Steve Jobs said: “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.”

I’ve got it down to four words: “Do what you love.” Seek out an occupation that gives you a sense of meaning, direction and satisfaction in life. Having a sense of purpose and striving towards goals gives life meaning, direction and satisfaction. It not only contributes to health and longevity, but also makes you feel better in difficult times. Do you jump out of bed on Monday mornings and look forward to the work week? If the answer is ‘no’ keep looking, you’ll know when you find it.

4. Steve Jobs said: “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.”

Live in a way that is ethically responsible. Try to make a difference in this world and contribute to the higher good. You’ll find it gives more meaning to your life and it’s a great antidote to boredom. There is always so much to be done. And talk to others about what you are doing. Don’t preach or be self-righteous, or fanatical about it, that just puts people off, but at the same time, don’t be shy about setting an example, and use opportunities that arise to let others know what you are doing.

5. Steve Jobs said: “There’s a phrase in Buddhism, ‘Beginner’s mind.’ It’s wonderful to have a beginner’s mind.”

It is the kind of mind that can see things as they are, which step by step and in a flash can realize the original nature of everything. Beginner’s mind is Zen practice in action. It is the mind that is innocent of preconceptions and expectations, judgements and prejudices. Think of beginner’s mind as the mind that faces life like a small child, full of curiosity and wonder and amazement.

6. Steve Jobs said: “We think basically you watch television to turn your brain off, and you work on your computer when you want to turn your brain on.”

Reams of academic studies over the decades have amply confirmed television’s pernicious mental and moral influences. And most TV watchers know that their habit is mind-numbing and wasteful, but still spend most of their time in front of that box. So turn your TV off and save some brain cells. But be cautious, you can turn your brain off by using a computer also. Try and have an intelligent conversation with someone who plays first person shooters for 8 hours a day. Or auto race games, or role-playing games.

7. Steve Jobs said: “I’m the only person I know that’s lost a quarter of a billion dollars in one year…. It’s very character-building.”

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.

8. Steve Jobs said: “I would trade all of my technology for an afternoon with Socrates.”

Over the last decade, numerous books featuring lessons from historical figures have appeared on the shelves of bookstores around the world. And Socrates stands with Leonardo da Vinci, Nicholas Copernicus, Charles Darwin and Albert Einstein as a beacon of inspiration for independent thinkers. But he came first. Cicero said of Socrates that, “He called philosophy down from the skies and into the lives of men.” So use Socrates’ principles in your life, your work, your learning, and your relationships. It’s not about Socrates, it’s really about you, and how you can bring more truth, beauty and goodness into your life everyday.

9. Steve Jobs said: “We’re here to put a dent in the universe. Otherwise why else even be here?”

Did you know that you have big things to accomplish in life? And did you know that those big things are getting rather dusty while you pour yourself another cup of coffee, and decide to mull things over rather than do them? We were all born with a gift to give in life, one which informs all of our desires, interests, passions and curiosities. This gift is, in fact, our purpose. And you don’t need permission to decide your own purpose. No boss, teacher, parent, priest or other authority can decide this for you. Just find that unique purpose.

10. Steve Jobs said: “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.”

Are you tired of living someone else’s dream? No doubt, its your life and you have every right to spend it in your own individual way without any hurdles or barriers from others. Give yourself a chance to nurture your creative qualities in a fear-free and pressure-free climate. Live a life that YOU choose and be your own boss.

Each lesson might be difficult to integrate into your life at first, but if you ease your way into each lesson, one at a time, you’ll notice an immediate improvement in your overall performance. So go ahead, give them a try.

"I think we're having fun. I think our customers really like our products. And we're always trying to do better." - Steve Jobs.

他的成就和人格魅力影響了一代人和整個(gè)世界,他就是擁有夢(mèng)幻般傳奇經(jīng)歷的蘋(píng)果電腦公司的創(chuàng )始人斯蒂夫喬布斯。這個(gè)個(gè)人電腦領(lǐng)域的夢(mèng)想家引領(lǐng)并改變了整個(gè)計算機硬件和軟件產(chǎn)業(yè)。

這個(gè)精力充沛魅力無(wú)限的家伙同時(shí)也是一個(gè)很會(huì )鼓動(dòng)人心的激勵大師,甚至在他的平常對話(huà)中,經(jīng)典的語(yǔ)句也常常脫口而出。

這里摘取了一些他的經(jīng)典語(yǔ)錄,希望這些喬氏語(yǔ)錄對你有所幫助:

“領(lǐng)袖和跟風(fēng)者的區別就在于創(chuàng )新!
創(chuàng )新無(wú)極限!只要敢想,沒(méi)有什么不可能,立即跳出思維的框框吧。如果你正處于一個(gè)上升的朝陽(yáng)行業(yè),那么嘗試去尋找更有效的解決方案:更招消費者喜愛(ài)、更簡(jiǎn)潔的商業(yè)模式。如果你處于一個(gè)日漸萎縮的行業(yè),那么趕緊在自己變得跟不上時(shí)代之前抽身而出,去換個(gè)工作或者轉換行業(yè)。不要拖延,立刻開(kāi)始創(chuàng )新!

“成為卓越的代名詞,很多人并不能適合需要杰出素質(zhì)的環(huán)境!
成功沒(méi)有捷徑。你必須把卓越轉變成你身上的一個(gè)特質(zhì)。最大限度的發(fā)揮你的天賦、才能、技巧,把其他所有人甩在你后面。高標準嚴格自己,把注意力集中在那些將會(huì )改變一切的細節上。變得卓越并不艱難 - 從現在開(kāi)始盡自己最大能力去做 - 你會(huì )發(fā)現生活將給你驚人的回報。

“成就一番偉業(yè)的唯一途徑就是熱愛(ài)自己的事業(yè)。如果你還沒(méi)能找到讓自己熱愛(ài)的事業(yè),繼續尋找,不要放棄。跟隨自己的心,總有一天你會(huì )找到的!
我把這段話(huà)濃縮為:“做我所愛(ài)”。去尋找一個(gè)能給你的生命帶來(lái)意義、價(jià)值和讓你感覺(jué)充實(shí)的事業(yè)。擁有使命感和目標感才能給生命帶來(lái)意義、價(jià)值和充實(shí)。這不僅對你的健康和壽命有益處,而且即使在你處于困境的時(shí)候你也會(huì )感覺(jué)良好。在每周一的早上,你能不能利索的爬起來(lái)并且對工作日充滿(mǎn)期待?如果不能,那么你得重新去尋找。你會(huì )感覺(jué)得到你是不是真的找到了。

“并不是每個(gè)人都需要種植自己的糧食,也不是每個(gè)人都需要做自己穿的衣服,我們說(shuō)著(zhù)別人發(fā)明的語(yǔ)言,使用別人發(fā)明的數學(xué)...我們一直在使用別人的成果。使用人類(lèi)的已有經(jīng)驗和知識來(lái)進(jìn)行發(fā)明創(chuàng )造是一件很了不起的事情!
帶著(zhù)責任感生活,嘗試為這個(gè)世界帶來(lái)點(diǎn)有意義的事情,為更高尚的事情做點(diǎn)貢獻。這樣你會(huì )發(fā)現生活更加有意義,生命不再枯燥。需要我們去做的事情很多。告訴其他人你的計劃,不要鼓吹,也不要自以為是,更不能盲目狂熱,那樣只會(huì )把人們嚇跑,當然,你也不要害怕成為榜樣,要抓住出頭的機會(huì )讓人們知道你的所作所為。

“佛教中有一句話(huà):初學(xué)者的心態(tài);擁有初學(xué)者的心態(tài)是件了不起的事情!
不要迷惑于表象而要洞察事務(wù)的本質(zhì),初學(xué)者的心態(tài)是行動(dòng)派的禪宗。所謂初學(xué)者的心態(tài)是指,不要無(wú)端猜測、不要期望、不要武斷也不要偏見(jiàn)。初學(xué)者的心態(tài)正如一個(gè)新生兒面對這個(gè)世界一樣,永遠充滿(mǎn)好奇、求知欲、贊嘆。

“我們認為看電視的時(shí)候,人的大腦基本停止工作,打開(kāi)電腦的時(shí)候,大腦才開(kāi)始運轉!
過(guò)去十年中,大量的理論研究表明,電視對人的精神和心智是有害的。大多數電視觀(guān)眾都知道這個(gè)壞習慣會(huì )浪費時(shí)間并且使大腦變得遲鈍,但是他們還是選擇呆在電視機前面。關(guān)掉電視吧,給自己省點(diǎn)腦細胞。還有,電腦也會(huì )讓你的大腦秀逗,不信的話(huà)你去跟那些一天花8小時(shí)玩第一視角設計游戲、汽車(chē)拉力游戲、角色扮演游戲的人聊聊看,你也會(huì )得出這個(gè)結論的。

“我是我所知唯一一個(gè)在一年中失去2.5億美元的人...這對我的成長(cháng)很有幫助!
范錯誤不等于錯誤。從來(lái)沒(méi)有哪個(gè)成功的人沒(méi)有失敗過(guò)或者犯過(guò)錯誤,相反,成功的人都是犯了錯誤之后,做出改正,然后下次就不會(huì )再錯了,他們把錯誤當成一個(gè)警告而不是萬(wàn)劫不復的失敗。從不犯錯意味著(zhù)從來(lái)沒(méi)有真正活過(guò)。

“我愿意把我所有的科技去換取和蘇格拉底相處的一個(gè)下午!
十幾年來(lái),世界各地的書(shū)店里涌現出海量的關(guān)于歷史人物的書(shū)籍。這些人物包括蘇格拉底、達芬奇、哥白尼、達爾文以及愛(ài)因斯坦成為人們靈感的燈塔,而蘇格拉底排在第一位。西塞羅評價(jià)蘇格拉底說(shuō):“他把哲學(xué)從高山仰止高高在上的學(xué)科變得與人休戚相關(guān)!卑烟K格拉底的原則運用到你的生活、工作、學(xué)習以及人及關(guān)系上吧,這不是關(guān)于蘇格拉底,這是關(guān)于你自己,以及關(guān)于你如何給你每天的生活帶來(lái)更多的真善美。

“活著(zhù)就是為了改變世界,難道還有其他原因嗎?”
你是否知道在你的生命中,有什么使命是一定要達成的?你知不知道在你喝一杯咖啡或者做些無(wú)意義事情的時(shí)候,這些使命又蒙上了一層灰塵?我們生來(lái)就隨身帶著(zhù)一件東西,這件東西指示著(zhù)我們的渴望、興趣、熱情以及好奇心,這就是使命。你不需要任何權威來(lái)評斷你的使命,沒(méi)有任何老板、老師、父母、牧師以及任何權威可以幫你來(lái)決定。你需要靠你自己來(lái)尋找這個(gè)獨特的使命。

“你的時(shí)間有限,所以不要為別人而活。不要被教條所限,不要活在別人的觀(guān)念里。不要讓別人的意見(jiàn)左右自己內心的聲音。最重要的是,勇敢的去追隨自己的心靈和直覺(jué),只有自己的心靈和直覺(jué)才知道你自己的真實(shí)想法,其他一切都是次要!
你是否已經(jīng)厭倦了為別人而活?不要猶豫,這是你的生活,你擁有絕對的自主權來(lái)決定如何生活,不要被其他人的所作所為所束縛。給自己一個(gè)培養自己創(chuàng )造力的機會(huì ),不要害怕,不要擔心。過(guò)自己選擇的生活,做自己的老板!


以上每句話(huà),剛開(kāi)始也許很難真正滲透入你的生活,但是如果你慢慢吸收這些教訓,每次領(lǐng)悟一句話(huà),慢慢的你將會(huì )發(fā)現一個(gè)全新的自我。不要躊躇不前,試試看。

如果你正處于一個(gè)上升的朝陽(yáng)行業(yè),那么嘗試去尋找更有效的解決方案:更招消費者喜愛(ài)、更簡(jiǎn)潔的商業(yè)模式。如果你處于一個(gè)日漸萎縮的行業(yè),那么趕緊在自己變得跟不上時(shí)代之前抽身而出,去換個(gè)工作或者轉換行業(yè)。
