蘋果傳奇：賈伯斯除了創造出蘋果產品，他也常常到處演講，勉勵學生、勉勵上班族，利用他的字語無形力量改變這世界。
STEVE JOBS 的１０句經典名言: --- << 天下文化 >>
1.「求知若飢，虛心若愚。」（Stay hungry. Stay foolish.）
56歲的蘋果執行長賈伯斯（Steve Jobs）在2005年美國史丹佛大學畢業典禮上，送給畢業生的勸告是：「求知若飢，虛心若愚。」（Stay hungry. Stay foolish.）這求知與虛心的對象，與其說是白紙黑字，倒不如說是每天遇見的各種面孔；學會「讀」人，每張臉都是好書的封面。當然，惡魔也就跟著變成金礦了。他勉勵學生帶著傻氣勇往直前，學習任何有趣的事物。
2.「如果每個人都要去舊金山，那麼，花許多時間爭執走哪條路並不是問題。但如果有人要去舊金山，有人要去聖地牙哥，這樣的爭執就很浪費時間了。」
賈伯斯指出合作的關鍵在於擁有共同目標。但當缺乏共同目標時，容易變得心胸狹窄，彼此誤解並互相指責。因此，盡量去創造一個橫跨各部門的共同目標，然後一起努力，就算有爭執也沒關係。
3.時間有限，不要浪費時間活在別人的陰影裡；不要被教條所惑，盲從教條等於活在別人的思考中；不要讓他人的噪音壓過自己的心聲。
不要讓別人的意見淹沒了你內在的心聲。最重要的，擁有追隨自己內心與直覺的勇氣，你的內心與直覺多少已經知道你真正想要成為什麼樣的人，任何其他事物都是次要的。賈伯斯從不妥協，生命短暫，不應浪費時間活在別人的陰影裡。他也從來不被教條所困惑，盲從教條等於活在別人的思考中；不要讓他人的噪音壓過自己的心聲。最重要的，有勇氣跟著自己的內心與直覺。
4. 蘋果公司開除我，是我人生中最好的經驗。從頭開始的輕鬆釋放了成功的沉重，讓我進入了這輩子最有創意的時代。
特立獨行的蘋果創辦人兼執行長賈伯斯（Steve Jobs），在給史丹佛畢業生的演講中語出驚人：「（1985年）蘋果公司開除我，是我人生中最好的經驗。從頭開始的輕鬆釋放了成功的沉重，讓我進入了這輩子最有創意的時代。」過去賈伯斯總能敗部復活東山再起，重要的就是他在敗部出局時，抓住機會認真的面對自己內心對於熱情的追尋。因此，他把落入敗部視為生命中的苦口良藥和尋找「真愛」的試煉。愈深的挫折反而讓他更看清真相，激起熱情堅持真愛。
5. 我有很棒的經驗，充沛的活力，再加上一點『夢想』，而且我不怕從頭開始。
賈伯斯在蘋果公司的網站上這樣介紹自己。當對日常生活失去熱情時，要勇敢的放棄框架。賈伯斯相信必須鎖定正確的目標，把熱情投注在最愛，自然就會有回報：「我根本不在乎市場佔有率。我所關心的是怎麼製造出世界上最好的微電腦，只要能夠達成這個目標，我們市場佔有率自然能夠提升。」
6. 創新＝借用與連結
賈伯斯總愛引用畫家畢卡索（Picasso）的名言：「好的藝術家懂複製，偉大的藝術家則擅偷取。」他從不認為借用別人的點子是件可恥的事。賈伯斯給的兩個創新關鍵字是「借用」與「連結」。但前提是，你得先知道別人做了什麼。
7. 「決不、決不、決不、決不放棄！」（Never, never, never, never give up.）
賈伯斯最喜歡引用的另個英雄邱吉爾說的，「決不、決不、決不、決不放棄！」（Never, never, never, never give up.）無論他人生中遇到任何挫折，休學或失業，他總是決不放棄，堅持下去。
8. 你不可能有先見之明，只能有後見之明，因此，你必須相信，這些小事一定會和你的未來產生關聯。
你沒辦法預見這些點滴如何聯繫，唯有透過回顧，可以看出彼此關聯。所以你必須相信，無論如何，這些點滴會在未來互相連結，有些東西你必須相信，像你的直覺、天命、人生、因果，諸如此類種種。
9. 如果你把每天都當成最後一天來過，總有一天你會證明自己是對的。
賈伯斯十七歲時曾讀過一句話：「如果你把每天都當成最後一天來過，總有一天你會證明自己是對的。」這句話對他影響甚深。過去三十三年來，他每天早上會對著鏡子說：「如果今天是我生命中的最後一天，我還會想做今天要做的事嗎？」每當遇到生命中的重大抉擇時，只要想到將不久於人世，便可以幫助你做出決定。
10.你必須要找到你所愛的東西。(You’ve got to find what you love,)
賈伯斯相信如果他沒有被蘋果公司解雇，這一切都不會發生。良藥苦口，生命有時會給你迎頭痛擊，但不要失去信念。支持他繼續走下去的唯一理由就是他深愛他的工作，而你也必須找出你的所愛。你的工作佔據了生活大部份的時間，因此，唯有相信自己做的是偉大的工作，才能真正獲得成就感。如果你還沒找到，繼續找。

Re: 我的恐慌好像又來了
Dear JR:
Thank you for sharing. To clarify the meaning of " Stay hungry, Stay foolish" I find an explanation in the network for one who will be interested.
'stay hungry means,in this context,do not feel contented with what you have already achieved but always feel hungry to do more and more business or profit.again stay foolish means never thing that you have learnt all there is nothing more to learn for you.in other words when you think that you are still foolish,you try to learn more and more and keep learning new things.

Steve Jobs對史丹佛畢業生演講全文
'You've got to find what you love,' ---Jobs says
This is a prepared text of the Commencement address delivered by Steve Jobs, CEO of Apple Computer and of Pixar Animation Studios, on June 12, 2005.
I am honored to be with you today at your commencement from one of the finest universities in the world. I never graduated from college. Truth be told, this is the closest I've ever gotten to a college graduation. Today I want to tell you three stories from my life. That's it. No big deal. Just three stories.
The first story is about connecting the dots.
I dropped out of Reed College after the first 6 months, but then stayed around as a drop-in for another 18 months or so before I really quit. So why did I drop out?
It started before I was born. My biological mother was a young, unwed college graduate student, and she decided to put me up for adoption. She felt very strongly that I should be adopted by college graduates, so everything was all set for me to be adopted at birth by a lawyer and his wife. Except that when I popped out they decided at the last minute that they really wanted a girl. So my parents, who were on a waiting list, got a call in the middle of the night asking: "We have an unexpected baby boy; do you want him?" They said: "Of course." My biological mother later found out that my mother had never graduated from college and that my father had never graduated from high school. She refused to sign the final adoption papers. She only relented a few months later when my parents promised that I would someday go to college.
And 17 years later I did go to college. But I naively chose a college that was almost as expensive as Stanford, and all of my working-class parents' savings were being spent on my college tuition. After six months, I couldn't see the value in it. I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life and no idea how college was going to help me figure it out. And here I was spending all of the money my parents had saved their entire life. So I decided to drop out and trust that it would all work out OK. It was pretty scary at the time, but looking back it was one of the best decisions I ever made. The minute I dropped out I could stop taking the required classes that didn't interest me, and begin dropping in on the ones that looked interesting.
It wasn't all romantic. I didn't have a dorm room, so I slept on the floor in friends' rooms, I returned coke bottles for the 5¢ deposits to buy food with, and I would walk the 7 miles across town every Sunday night to get one good meal a week at the Hare Krishna temple. I loved it. And much of what I stumbled into by following my curiosity and intuition turned out to be priceless later on. Let me give you one example:
Reed College at that time offered perhaps the best calligraphy instruction in the country. Throughout the campus every poster, every label on every drawer, was beautifully hand calligraphed. Because I had dropped out and didn't have to take the normal classes, I decided to take a calligraphy class to learn how to do this. I learned about serif and san serif typefaces, about varying the amount of space between different letter combinations, about what makes great typography great. It was beautiful, historical, artistically subtle in a way that science can't capture, and I found it fascinating.
None of this had even a hope of any practical application in my life. But ten years later, when we were designing the first Macintosh computer, it all came back to me. And we designed it all into the Mac. It was the first computer with beautiful typography. If I had never dropped in on that single course in college, the Mac would have never had multiple typefaces or proportionally spaced fonts. And since Windows just copied the Mac, it's likely that no personal computer would have them. If I had never dropped out, I would have never dropped in on this calligraphy class, and personal computers might not have the wonderful typography that they do. Of course it was impossible to connect the dots looking forward when I was in college. But it was very, very clear looking backwards ten years later.
Again, 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. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life.
My second story is about love and loss.
I was lucky — I found what I loved to do early in life. Woz and I started Apple in my parents garage when I was 20. We worked hard, and in 10 years Apple had grown from just the two of us in a garage into a $2 billion company with over 4000 employees. We had just released our finest creation — the Macintosh — a year earlier, and I had just turned 30. And then I got fired. How can you get fired from a company you started? Well, as Apple grew we hired someone who I thought was very talented to run the company with me, and for the first year or so things went well. But then our visions of the future began to diverge and eventually we had a falling out. When we did, our Board of Directors sided with him. So at 30 I was out. And very publicly out. What had been the focus of my entire adult life was gone, and it was devastating.
I really didn't know what to do for a few months. I felt that I had let the previous generation of entrepreneurs down - that I had dropped the baton as it was being passed to me. I met with David Packard and Bob Noyce and tried to apologize for screwing up so badly. I was a very public failure, and I even thought about running away from the valley. But something slowly began to dawn on me — I still loved what I did. The turn of events at Apple had not changed that one bit. I had been rejected, but I was still in love. And so I decided to start over.
I didn't see it then, but it turned out that getting fired from Apple was the best thing that could have ever happened to me. The heaviness of being successful was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner again, less sure about everything. It freed me to enter one of the most creative periods of my life.
During the next five years, I started a company named NeXT, another company named Pixar, and fell in love with an amazing woman who would become my wife. Pixar went on to create the worlds first computer animated feature film, Toy Story, and is now the most successful animation studio in the world. In a remarkable turn of events, Apple bought NeXT, I returned to Apple, and the technology we developed at NeXT is at the heart of Apple's current renaissance. And Laurene and I have a wonderful family together.
I'm pretty sure none of this would have happened if I hadn't been fired from Apple. It was awful tasting medicine, but I guess the patient needed it. Sometimes life hits you in the head with a brick. Don't lose faith. I'm convinced that the only thing that kept me going was that I loved what I did. You've got to find what you love. And that is as true for your work as it is for your lovers. 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. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it. And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking until you find it. Don't settle.
My third story is about death.
When I was 17, I read a quote that went something like: "If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you'll most certainly be right." It made an impression on me, and since then, for the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: "If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?" And whenever the answer has been "No" for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something.
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. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.
About a year ago I was diagnosed with cancer. I had a scan at 7:30 in the morning, and it clearly showed a tumor on my pancreas. I didn't even know what a pancreas was. The doctors told me this was almost certainly a type of cancer that is incurable, and that I should expect to live no longer than three to six months. My doctor advised me to go home and get my affairs in order, which is doctor's code for prepare to die. It means to try to tell your kids everything you thought you'd have the next 10 years to tell them in just a few months. It means to make sure everything is buttoned up so that it will be as easy as possible for your family. It means to say your goodbyes.
I lived with that diagnosis all day. Later that evening I had a biopsy, where they stuck an endoscope down my throat, through my stomach and into my intestines, put a needle into my pancreas and got a few cells from the tumor. I was sedated, but my wife, who was there, told me that when they viewed the cells under a microscope the doctors started crying because it turned out to be a very rare form of pancreatic cancer that is curable with surgery. I had the surgery and I'm fine now.
This was the closest I've been to facing death, and I hope it's the closest I get for a few more decades. 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. Even people who want to go to heaven don't want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because 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. Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic, but it is quite true.
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.
When I was young, there was an amazing publication called The Whole Earth Catalog, which was one of the bibles of my generation. 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. This was in the late 1960's, before personal computers and desktop publishing, so it was all made with typewriters, scissors, and polaroid cameras. 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.
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. It was the mid-1970s, and I was your age. On the back cover of their final issue was a photograph of an early morning country road, the kind you might find yourself hitchhiking on if you were so adventurous. Beneath it were the words: "Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish." It was their farewell message as they signed off. Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish. And I have always wished that for myself. And now, as you graduate to begin anew, I wish that for you.
Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish.
Thank you all very much.

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. It was the mid-1970s, and I was your age. On the back cover of their final issue was a photograph of an early morning country road, the kind you might find yourself hitchhiking on if you were so adventurous. Beneath it were the words: "Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish." It was their farewell message as they signed off. Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish. And I have always wished that for myself. And now, as you graduate to begin anew, I wish that for you.
Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish.
Thank you all very much.

文字較沒耐心看完
記得有一次 , 你放上來影音檔
( 當然 , 谷哥也能找得到 )
我倒是反覆聽了很多次 !
還有 ............ 以下這個 , 沒有很懂 ??? ( 說過了 , 我本來就不很聰明 )
請再釋疑 !
3. 時間有限，不要浪費時間活在別人的陰影裡；不要被教條所惑，盲從教條等於活在別人的思考中；不要讓他人的噪音壓過自己的心聲。
不要讓別人的意見淹沒了你內在的心聲。
最重要的，擁有追隨自己內心與直覺的勇氣，
你的內心與直覺多少已經知道你真正想要成為什麼樣的人，任何其他事物都是次要的。
賈伯斯從不妥協，生命短暫，不應浪費時間活在別人的陰影裡。
他也從來不被教條所困惑，盲從教條等於活在別人的思考中
不要讓他人的噪音壓過自己的心聲。最重要的，有勇氣跟著自己的內心與直覺。

凱兒,
JOBS 不是 超凡入聖 , 但的確 "Think different" [不同凡想]
時間有限，不要浪費時間活在別人的陰影裡；不要被教條所惑，盲從教條等於活在別人的思考中；不要讓他人的噪音壓過自己的心聲。
這些話 好像是對 莊莊 說的.
"目標"(goal) 確認, 就放手大膽去做.
不要浪費時間活在別人的陰影裡 : 不要在意 別人的 看法 及 閒言閒語.
不要被教條所惑 : 教條: 理論 規範 規則; JOBS 名言: "規則" 是 用來 打破的.
不要讓他人的噪音壓過自己的心聲: 噪音: 與 "目標"(goal) 無關的 言論.
JOBS 是有些 想法 偏執 的 "特立獨行" 者.
但 "Think different" [不同凡想] 深深影響著 莊莊.

台北縣最高的山 : 塔曼山 . 標高2130 ( 其中美麗的一景 )
" 塔魔巴 " 介紹 : 塔曼山 . 玫瑰西魔山 . 巴博庫魯山 ( 共三座山 )

現況 : 伙伴們已經出發 . 明天清晨約四點開始縱走
我的心情 : 天氣真的很好 ! 祝福大家愉快 . 平安 . ( 大自然也愛你們 )
( 我 .......... 不急 ! 也許不恐慌 , 不焦慮之後 就可先選其中一座山練習腳力 )

好凱兒, 這個假日也自己去找伴玩耍就可減低落寞心情. 有時候鬆鬆阿姨碰到類似狀況自己怎麼樣也喬不定自己時就不喬了, 直接找人唱歌或說說話. 我們是人, 我們不是神. 有時候, 就是脆弱嘛沒關係.
Re: 我的恐慌好像又來了
亮 . 鬆鬆 :
目前為止都 O.K.
我已有服下阿諾 !
也在客廳裡 . 開著我最愛的古典音樂台
只是 , 會一直上網翻找伙伴們明天要去的 "塔魔巴"
然後 . 自己神遊了許久 ( 想像著 自己如果也能去 ............. )
感謝妳們 ! 關懷我一一收在內心深處 !
( 鬆鬆 : 那麼年輕 , 妳不算是阿姨啦
)
