選擇比努力更重要
選擇比努力更重要
文字版:
一個台北人1984年為了圓出國夢
賣掉忠孝東路一個透天的房子
湊了300萬到 義大利 淘金
風餐雨宿、大雪送外賣+夜半學外語
在貧民區被搶被打、辛苦節儉
勇往直前的努力朝著他的目標邁進
30幾年過去了,如今已兩髪蒼蒼
總算攢下100萬歐元(台幣4000萬)
打算回來養老，享受榮華富貴。
一回台北,發現當年
賣掉的房子仲介掛牌4億
剎那間崩潰….
或許 人一生多半是瞎忙….
記住!! 選擇比努力更重要!

傅崐萁：洪申翰高中畢業當部長是國家之恥
https://www.msn.com/zh-tw/news/national/%E5%82%85%E5%B4%90%E8%90%81-%E6%B4%AA%E7%94%B3%E7%BF%B0%E9%AB%98%E4%B8%AD%E7%95%A2%E6%A5%AD%E7%95%B6%E9%83%A8%E9%95%B7%E6%98%AF%E5%9C%8B%E5%AE%B6%E4%B9%8B%E6%81%A5/ar-AA1uU704?ocid=msedgdhp&pc=U531&cvid=be78ac2b9c2941c693f993af02e05609&ei=23
勞動部勞發署公務員疑遭前北分署長謝宜容霸凌輕生案，導致前勞動部長何佩珊下台，新任部長洪申翰25日正式上工，不過這起人事案卻引爆在野怒火。國民黨立法院黨團總召傅崐萁今（28）日砲轟，新任勞動部長洪申翰有接到陳情，卻選擇官官相護吃案「一個高中畢業的勞動部長，這是國家之恥！」更稱總統賴清德用人唯親，「用這樣貨色擔任勞動部長」。
謝宜容因涉職場霸凌，導致公務員在辦公室輕生，風波震驚全台，事後勞動部長何佩珊下台，由民進黨立委洪申翰接任。不過，因為洪申翰曾提及，早在今年2月就知道勞動部的「鬼故事」，遭國民黨砲轟知悉卻「毫無作為」，該人事案立刻引發在野怒火。
傅崐萁今天上午出席全國公務人員協會「拒絕霸凌公務員」記者會時指出，國民黨會在明天院會正式提出，不只譴責勞動部不肖官員，同時要成立國會的「職場調查委員會」，讓全國在職場中被霸凌的人，都可以向立法院提出訴求，把所有冤屈讓國會了解，讓霸凌事件不再發生。
傅崐萁認為，勞動部發生事件被霸凌的公務員求助無門，新任勞動部長洪申翰有接到陳情，卻選擇官官相護吃案，「一個高中畢業的勞動部長，這是國家之恥！」，而且是吃案部長竟然可以就任，表示總統賴清德用人唯親。
傅崐萁直言，國家不是沒人才，「卻是用這樣貨色擔任勞動部長，才剛發生吃案就擔任勞動部長？」他不只要全力監督勞動部，希望所有部會、職場上同仁，各領域的國人有冤屈都可以向立法院調查委員會向國會提出申訴，一定秉持公平、公正、公開，受委屈霸凌的職場人員給予支持。

讓我想起 比爾蓋茲/王永慶/賈伯斯
===============
不喜歡學校，輟學就對了？別誤會賈伯斯給的人生建議了
https://case.ntu.edu.tw/blog/?p=33478
「請問，我在學校常覺得自己在浪費時間，是不是輟學比較好呢？」一次演講完，一位學生從我的粉絲頁寄訊息詢問：「像賈伯斯、比爾蓋茲、祖克伯格…這些人都輟學，也都這麼有成就。是不是我也不該繼續待在學校行屍走肉？」
多聊了幾句，發現這個學生看過賈伯斯著名的史丹佛畢業致詞《連點成線》：賈伯斯許多人生的選擇，並不知道為什麼，最後都串在一起，為他後來的成就打了基底。這位同學聽了這篇極具力量的演講，開始相信：現在的選擇，不必考慮太多，Just Do It 。二十多年來，耐吉運動鞋的形象廣告，也在不斷為這個概念煽風點火。
難道，輟學也是 Just Do It 嗎？輟學就能解決問題嗎？
被忽略的真正原因
賈伯斯名聲太大，以及於許多人久聞大名，久到以為自己頗為了解他，以致於許多人可能都沒有意識到，這個傳奇中有太多謎團：
賈伯斯沒有讀大學，又是如何成為電腦、電子方面的專家？他沒有讀電機、沒有碩士博士，怎麼有天大的能耐發展出蘋果電腦，甚至引領潮流，創造平板電腦、智慧手機？如果這些謎團沒有個合理解釋，我們怎麼能輕易說：「人生只要熱情如火，跟著感覺走，不必想結果，最後都會像賈伯斯這麼有成就」？
要理解賈伯斯輟學後的成就，我們要回到他輟學的那個時點詳細檢視 — 他在此之前已經一步步養成什麼樣的特質，學會什麼樣的能耐，讓他在輟學之後，竟然能逆風高飛？
第一步，成為感受精緻工藝的自造者
賈伯斯的父親(名叫保羅．賈伯斯)本身是技工，從電器到汽車都會修，家中的櫥櫃與柵欄都自己做。從很小的時候開始，賈伯斯的父親就帶著他觀察各種工藝之美，例如各種車子鍍鉻、座椅、出風口的設計與質感。
賈伯斯從很小的時候，就開始當父親的小跟班，一起動手東西，並且聽爸爸講解各種電器組件的功能。老賈伯斯同時教導他：即使是櫥櫃靠牆面、桌子的底部，沒人看得到的地方，也要上漆磨光，所有細節都要嚴格考究不能隨便。
第二步，成為電子元件當玩具的少年工程師
小賈伯斯從小在父親工作的庫房長大，但漸漸發展出和父親不太相同的興趣。父親熱衷的是偏向機械，也就是齒輪、軸承、鈑金…，也愛木工；但賈伯斯本身從小就對能創造聲音與影像效果的電子器材著迷。
保羅曾經帶小賈伯斯參觀美國航太總署，在參觀的過程中，小賈伯斯愛上了一台電腦終端機 — 一個展示文字、表格、數字的螢幕。這分愛不只放在心裡，而是用手做 — 賈伯斯還在中學的時代就自己焊接無線電，並且自己拉電線、接麥克風，在家裡組建了擴音收音兩用的系統。
第三步，成為熟悉商業與工業的企業家
從小，賈伯斯就跟著父親到處逛跳蚤市場、二手拍賣市集，看著父親將破舊的電器與汽車維修翻新後賺取好幾倍的價差。在中學時期，賈伯斯已經青出於藍。他能在各地二手賣場中低價買到稀有的、值錢的電子元件，直接高價賣給電子零件盤商。
賈伯斯不只是個「興趣玩家」，他非常早就開始接觸真正的工業。他中學的時候開始參加 HP 工程師下班後非正式的研討會/發表會，並且和工程師討論業界最新發展。有一個暑假，賈伯斯直接在 HP 的工廠中當裝配員。旁觀加上親身經歷，賈伯斯很早就理解工廠生產模式，就和台灣年輕人熟悉網路遊戲一樣。
第四步，成為設計到販售都能幹的產品經理
賈伯斯後來共創蘋果的事業伙伴，叫做沃茲尼克，是個功底高強的工程師。在賈伯斯上大學的前一年，他們倆做了一件事，幾乎是個幹練的產品經理才做得出來。
沃茲尼克先讀到一篇報導，關於如何設計一個免費打(其實就是盜打)長途電話的裝置。賈伯斯看到這個報導，發現是個商機。於是他和沃茲尼克一起研究技術細節，最後生產出這個裝置，他們叫它「藍盒子」，並由賈伯斯負責銷售。最後，兩人從這個計畫中淨賺一萬多美元，賈伯斯為自己買了人生第一部(二手)車。
一年後，賈伯斯進入大學，讀了半學期，決定休學。
以上是賈伯斯大學前人生極度精簡的描述。在這一段高濃縮的描述之後，不知道那位同學是否發現，關於賈伯斯輟學，你之前遺漏了很多重要的事情？
輟學的底氣：我有主題 ~ 知道自己要什麼 [選擇比努力更重要]
賈伯斯在十八歲的時候，已經不是單純「覺得學校很煩」的青年。雖然他當時自己不見得這麼全面地分析，但是從後來的資料中我們能發現，他做這個決定時真的有資格與底氣。
他的資格與底氣是：早就已經在內心深處確定了一個主題，而且不斷在這個主題上累積、拓寬、挖深、嘗試、開創。這個主題是：電子科技商業。
遠在賈伯斯升大學之前，他就非常精熟於電子方面的材料、知識、原理。他從小聽爸爸說明電子零件功能，把器材當玩具，在高中就修「電子學」課程，和工程師討論學習，進入工廠參與製造，而且精熟到可以親手創新產品的地步。而且在產品的設計、製造、銷售上，他都有經驗和能力。在能力這個層面來說，賈伯斯輟學的時候顯然已經有「半職業級」的水準。
是在這個基礎上，賈伯斯一步步發展商品、成立公司，最後打造一個電子產業王國。我們可以發現，那些讓蘋果電腦系列商品獨步世界的原因，讓消費者排隊搶購的原因，都在賈伯斯年輕時追求的事物有關。
輟學前，找到「主題」沒？
科技思想家凱文．凱利也是一個大學沒讀完的科技控，但他後來卻成為領域中的先知人士，是《科技想要什麼》這本名著的作者。當有人提問：他是否會建議他自己的兒女從大學輟學。他是這樣說的：
「我的三個孩子不是在讀大學，就是已經大學畢業了。我是這樣告訴他們的 — 如果你心中有一個想要投入的計畫，如果你有決心、能自律，而且這個計畫和大學文憑沒關係，不讀大學也無妨。但是如果他們還不知道自己要做什麼樣的事情，那就先把大學讀完吧。」
凱文．凱利的見解大有道理：重點不要放在學校、要不要輟學，要放在你自己的主題 — 找到一個你徹底認同、有決心追求的目標，願意長期積累技能與知識達成。如果有這個主題，無論輟學或不輟學，你用各種方式累積各種知識與技能、各種經歷與資源，都可能成為灌溉這個主題的養分。這才是「連點成線」這個觀念的真實意義。
重點不在輟學，輟學的人很多，也不是都能成為軟體大亨。請把重點放在這個問題：「我找到主題了嗎？」

1
00:00:00,000 –> 00:00:02,000
Thank you.
2
00:00:02,000 –> 00:00:10,760
I’m honored to be with you today for your commencement from one of the finest universities in the world.
3
00:00:10,760 –> 00:00:24,100
Truth be told, I never graduated from college and this is the closest I’ve ever gotten to a college graduation.
4
00:00:26,700 –> 00:00:33,000
Today I want to tell you three stories from my life. That’s it. No big deal. Just three stories.
5
00:00:33,000 –> 00:00:37,600
The first story is about connecting the dots.
6
00:00:37,600 –> 00:00:46,600
I dropped out of Reed College after the first six months, but then stayed around as a drop-in for another 18 months or so before I really quit.
7
00:00:46,600 –> 00:00:49,200
So why’d I drop out?
8
00:00:49,200 –> 00:00:52,500
It started before I was born.
9
00:00:53,900 –> 00:00:59,900
My biological mother was a young unwed graduate student and she decided to put me up for adoption.
10
00:00:59,900 –> 00:01:08,900
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.
11
00:01:08,900 –> 00:01:14,900
Except that when I popped out, they decided at the last minute that they really wanted a girl.
12
00:01:16,400 –> 00:01:24,900
So my parents, who were on a waiting list, got a call in the middle of the night asking, “We’ve got an unexpected baby boy. Do you want him?”
13
00:01:24,900 –> 00:01:27,900
They said, “Of course.”
14
00:01:27,900 –> 00:01:36,900
My biological mother found out later that my mother had never graduated from college and that my father had never graduated from high school.
15
00:01:36,900 –> 00:01:40,600
She refused to sign the final adoption papers.
16
00:01:41,900 –> 00:01:46,900
She only relented a few months later when my parents promised that I would go to college.
17
00:01:46,900 –> 00:01:49,900
This was the start in my life.
18
00:01:49,900 –> 00:01:54,900
And 17 years later, I did go to college.
19
00:01:54,900 –> 00:01:59,900
But I naively chose a college that was almost as expensive as Stanford.
20
00:01:59,900 –> 00:02:04,900
And all of my working-class parents’ savings were being spent on my college tuition.
21
00:02:04,900 –> 00:02:08,400
After six months, I couldn’t see the value in it.
22
00:02:08,900 –> 00:02:14,400
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.
23
00:02:14,400 –> 00:02:18,900
And here I was, spending all the money my parents had saved their entire life.
24
00:02:18,900 –> 00:02:24,900
So I decided to drop out and trust that it would all work out okay.
25
00:02:24,900 –> 00:02:30,900
It was pretty scary at the time, but looking back, it was one of the best decisions I ever made.
26
00:02:31,900 –> 00:02:41,900
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 far more interesting.
27
00:02:41,900 –> 00:02:47,900
It wasn’t all romantic. I didn’t have a dorm room, so I slept on the floor in friends’ rooms.
28
00:02:47,900 –> 00:02:51,900
I returned Coke bottles for the five-cent deposits to buy food with.
29
00:02:51,900 –> 00:02:58,900
And I would walk the seven miles across town every Sunday night to get one good meal a week at the Hari Krishna Temple.
30
00:02:59,900 –> 00:03:00,900
I loved it.
31
00:03:00,900 –> 00:03:07,900
And much of what I stumbled into by following my curiosity and intuition turned out to be priceless later on.
32
00:03:07,900 –> 00:03:09,900
Let me give you one example.
33
00:03:09,900 –> 00:03:15,900
Reed College at that time offered perhaps the best calligraphy instruction in the country.
34
00:03:15,900 –> 00:03:22,900
Throughout the campus, every poster, every label on every drawer was beautifully hand-caligraphed.
35
00:03:23,900 –> 00:03:30,900
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.
36
00:03:30,900 –> 00:03:40,900
I learned about serif and sans-serif typefaces, about varying the amount of space between different letter combinations, about what makes great typography great.
37
00:03:40,900 –> 00:03:48,900
It was beautiful, historical, artistically subtle in a way that science can’t capture, and I found it fascinating.
38
00:03:49,900 –> 00:03:53,900
None of this had even a hope of any practical application in my life.
39
00:03:53,900 –> 00:04:00,900
But ten years later, when we were designing the first Macintosh computer, it all came back to me.
40
00:04:00,900 –> 00:04:03,900
And we designed it all into the Mac.
41
00:04:03,900 –> 00:04:06,900
It was the first computer with beautiful typography.
42
00:04:06,900 –> 00:04:14,900
If I had never dropped in on that single course in college, the Mac would have never had multiple typefaces or proportionally spaced fonts.
43
00:04:15,900 –> 00:04:19,900
And since Windows just copied the Mac, it’s likely that no personal computer would have them.
44
00:04:19,900 –> 00:04:35,900
If I had never dropped out, I would have never dropped in on that calligraphy class, and personal computers might not have the wonderful typography that they do.
45
00:04:35,900 –> 00:04:44,900
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.
46
00:04:44,900 –> 00:04:49,900
Again, you can’t connect the dots looking forward. You can only connect them looking backwards.
47
00:04:49,900 –> 00:04:53,900
So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future.
48
00:04:53,900 –> 00:04:58,900
You have to trust in something, your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever.
49
00:04:58,900 –> 00:05:07,900
Because believing that the dots will connect down the road will give you the confidence to follow your heart, even when it leads you off the well-worn path.
50
00:05:07,900 –> 00:05:10,900
And that will make all the difference.
51
00:05:11,900 –> 00:05:19,900
My second story is about love and loss.
52
00:05:19,900 –> 00:05:25,900
I was lucky. I found what I loved to do early in life.
53
00:05:25,900 –> 00:05:28,900
Waz and I started Apple in my parents’ garage when I was 20.
54
00:05:28,900 –> 00:05:36,900
We worked hard, and in ten years Apple had grown from just the two of us in a garage into a two billion dollar company with over 4,000 employees.
55
00:05:37,900 –> 00:05:42,900
We just released our finest creation, the Macintosh, a year earlier, and I just turned 30.
56
00:05:42,900 –> 00:05:45,900
And then I got fired.
57
00:05:45,900 –> 00:05:48,900
How can you get fired from a company you started?
58
00:05:48,900 –> 00:05:55,900
Well, as Apple grew, we hired someone who I thought was very talented to run the company with me.
59
00:05:55,900 –> 00:05:58,900
And for the first year or so, things went well.
60
00:05:58,900 –> 00:06:02,900
But then our visions of the future began to diverge, and eventually we had a falling out.
61
00:06:02,900 –> 00:06:05,900
When we did, our board of directors sided with him.
62
00:06:06,900 –> 00:06:10,900
And so at 30, I was out, and very publicly out.
63
00:06:10,900 –> 00:06:15,900
What had been the focus of my entire adult life was gone, and it was devastating.
64
00:06:15,900 –> 00:06:18,900
I really didn’t know what to do for a few months.
65
00:06:18,900 –> 00:06:25,900
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.
66
00:06:25,900 –> 00:06:31,900
I met with David Packard and Bob Noyce, and tried to apologize for screwing up so badly.
67
00:06:31,900 –> 00:06:35,900
I was a very public failure, and I even thought about running away from the valley.
68
00:06:35,900 –> 00:06:38,900
But something slowly began to dawn on me.
69
00:06:38,900 –> 00:06:41,900
I still loved what I did.
70
00:06:41,900 –> 00:06:45,900
The turn of events at Apple had not changed that one bit.
71
00:06:45,900 –> 00:06:48,900
I’d been rejected, but I was still in love.
72
00:06:48,900 –> 00:06:51,900
And so I decided to start over.
73
00:06:51,900 –> 00:06:57,900
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.
74
00:06:57,900 –> 00:07:04,900
The heaviness of being successful was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner again, less sure about everything.
75
00:07:05,900 –> 00:07:08,900
It freed me to enter one of the most creative periods of my life.
76
00:07:08,900 –> 00:07:16,900
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.
77
00:07:16,900 –> 00:07:25,900
Pixar went on to create the world’s first computer-animated feature film, Toy Story, and is now the most successful animation studio in the world.
78
00:07:26,900 –> 00:07:36,900
In a remarkable turn of events, Apple bought Next, and I returned to Apple, and the technology we developed at Next is at the heart of Apple’s current renaissance.
79
00:07:36,900 –> 00:07:40,900
And Lorraine and I have a wonderful family together.
80
00:07:40,900 –> 00:07:45,900
I’m pretty sure none of this would have happened if I hadn’t been fired from Apple.
81
00:07:45,900 –> 00:07:49,900
It was awful-tasting medicine, but I guess the patient needed it.
82
00:07:49,900 –> 00:07:53,900
Sometimes life’s going to hit you in the head with a brick.
83
00:07:53,900 –> 00:07:55,900
Don’t lose faith.
84
00:07:55,900 –> 00:07:59,900
I’m convinced that the only thing that kept me going was that I loved what I did.
85
00:07:59,900 –> 00:08:04,900
You’ve got to find what you love, and that is as true for work as it is for your lovers.
86
00:08:04,900 –> 00:08:11,900
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.
87
00:08:11,900 –> 00:08:15,900
And the only way to do great work is to love what you do.
88
00:08:15,900 –> 00:08:20,900
If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking, and don’t settle.
89
00:08:21,900 –> 00:08:24,900
As with all matters of the heart, you’ll know when you find it.
90
00:08:24,900 –> 00:08:29,900
And like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on.
91
00:08:29,900 –> 00:08:32,900
So keep looking. Don’t settle.
92
00:08:32,900 –> 00:08:42,900
[Applause]
93
00:08:42,900 –> 00:08:45,900
My third story is about death.
94
00:08:46,900 –> 00:08:55,900
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.”
95
00:08:55,900 –> 00:09:05,900
It made an impression on me, and since then, for the past 33 years, I’ve looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself,
96
00:09:05,900 –> 00:09:10,900
“If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?”
97
00:09:11,900 –> 00:09:16,900
And whenever the answer has been, “No,” for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something.
98
00:09:16,900 –> 00:09:24,900
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.
99
00:09:24,900 –> 00:09:31,900
Because almost everything, all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure,
100
00:09:31,900 –> 00:09:37,900
these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important.
101
00:09:38,900 –> 00:09:44,900
Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose.
102
00:09:44,900 –> 00:09:49,900
You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.
103
00:09:49,900 –> 00:09:54,900
About a year ago, I was diagnosed with cancer.
104
00:09:54,900 –> 00:10:00,900
I had a scan at 7.30 in the morning, and it clearly showed a tumor on my pancreas.
105
00:10:00,900 –> 00:10:03,900
I didn’t even know what a pancreas was.
106
00:10:04,900 –> 00:10:08,900
The doctors told me this was almost certainly a type of cancer that is incurable,
107
00:10:08,900 –> 00:10:12,900
and that I should expect to live no longer than three to six months.
108
00:10:12,900 –> 00:10:20,900
My doctor advised me to go home and get my affairs in order, which is doctors’ code for prepare to die.
109
00:10:20,900 –> 00:10:23,900
It means to try and tell your kids everything.
110
00:10:23,900 –> 00:10:28,900
You thought you’d have the next ten years to tell them in just a few months.
111
00:10:29,900 –> 00:10:34,900
It means to make sure everything is buttoned up so that it will be as easy as possible for your family.
112
00:10:34,900 –> 00:10:36,900
It means to say your goodbyes.
113
00:10:36,900 –> 00:10:40,900
I live with that diagnosis all day.
114
00:10:40,900 –> 00:10:45,900
Later that evening, I had a biopsy where they stuck an endoscope down my throat,
115
00:10:45,900 –> 00:10:51,900
threw my stomach into my intestines, put a needle into my pancreas, and got a few cells from the tumor.
116
00:10:51,900 –> 00:10:58,900
I was sedated, but my wife, who was there, told me that when they viewed the cells under a microscope,
117
00:10:58,900 –> 00:11:05,900
the doctors started crying, because it turned out to be a very rare form of pancreatic cancer that is curable with surgery.
118
00:11:05,900 –> 00:11:09,900
I had the surgery, and thankfully I’m fine now.
119
00:11:09,900 –> 00:11:23,900
This was the closest I’ve been to facing death, and I hope it’s the closest I get for a few more decades.
120
00:11:24,900 –> 00:11:31,900
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.
121
00:11:31,900 –> 00:11:34,900
No one wants to die.
122
00:11:34,900 –> 00:11:38,900
Even people who want to go to heaven don’t want to die to get there.
123
00:11:38,900 –> 00:11:42,900
And yet, death is the destination we all share.
124
00:11:42,900 –> 00:11:44,900
No one has ever escaped it.
125
00:11:44,900 –> 00:11:51,900
And that is as it should be, because death is very likely the single best invention of life.
126
00:11:52,900 –> 00:11:56,900
It’s life’s change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new.
127
00:11:56,900 –> 00:11:59,900
Right now, the new is you.
128
00:11:59,900 –> 00:12:04,900
But someday, not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away.
129
00:12:04,900 –> 00:12:08,900
Sorry to be so dramatic, but it’s quite true.
130
00:12:08,900 –> 00:12:14,900
Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life.
131
00:12:14,900 –> 00:12:19,900
Don’t be trapped by dogma, which is living with the results of other people’s thinking.
132
00:12:20,900 –> 00:12:23,900
Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice.
133
00:12:23,900 –> 00:12:28,900
And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition.
134
00:12:28,900 –> 00:12:32,900
They somehow already know what you truly want to become.
135
00:12:32,900 –> 00:12:35,900
Everything else is secondary.
136
00:12:47,900 –> 00:12:52,900
When I was young, there was an amazing publication called the Whole Earth Catalog,
137
00:12:52,900 –> 00:12:55,900
which was one of the Bibles of my generation.
138
00:12:55,900 –> 00:13:00,900
It was created by a fellow named Stewart Brand, not far from here in Menlo Park,
139
00:13:00,900 –> 00:13:03,900
and he brought it to life with his poetic touch.
140
00:13:03,900 –> 00:13:07,900
This was in the late 60s, before personal computers and desktop publishing,
141
00:13:07,900 –> 00:13:11,900
so it was all made with typewriters, scissors, and Polaroid cameras.
142
00:13:11,900 –> 00:13:16,900
It was sort of like Google in paperback form 35 years before Google came along.
143
00:13:16,900 –> 00:13:21,900
It was idealistic, overflowing with neat tools and great notions.
144
00:13:21,900 –> 00:13:25,900
Stewart and his team put out several issues of the Whole Earth Catalog,
145
00:13:25,900 –> 00:13:29,900
and then, when it had run its course, they put out a final issue.
146
00:13:29,900 –> 00:13:33,900
It was the mid-1970s, and I was your age.
147
00:13:33,900 –> 00:13:40,900
On the back cover of their final issue was a photograph of an early morning country road,
148
00:13:40,900 –> 00:13:44,900
the kind you might find yourself hitchhiking on if you were so adventurous.
149
00:13:45,900 –> 00:13:50,900
Beneath it were the words, “Stay hungry, stay foolish.”
150
00:13:50,900 –> 00:13:56,900
It was their farewell message as they signed off, “Stay hungry, stay foolish.”
151
00:13:56,900 –> 00:13:59,900
And I have always wished that for myself.
152
00:13:59,900 –> 00:14:05,900
And now, as you graduate to begin anew, I wish that for you.
153
00:14:05,900 –> 00:14:08,900
Stay hungry, stay foolish.
154
00:14:08,900 –> 00:14:10,900
Thank you all very much.
155
00:14:11,900 –> 00:14:15,900
[Applause]
156
00:14:15,900 –> 00:14:18,900
[Speaking English]
157
00:14:18,900 –> 00:14:20,900

感嘆台灣病了！藥師開店「業績好仍要工作」：若買房早等退休
https://house.ettoday.net/news/3110513
藥師林士峰近日在臉書發文感嘆「這幾年台灣生病了」，直言現在的社會「選擇比努力有用許多」。他回顧自己5年多前的人生抉擇，若當初不是冒險投入藥局分店設立，而是選擇買一棟不錯的透天厝，現在可能已經準備退休。即便分店經營成績高於平均藥局水準，他卻仍得每天戰戰兢兢工作。
林士峰在貼文中寫道，「這個社會現在是選擇比努力有用許多」，並以自身經驗為例，指出5年多前若選擇置產而非創業，如今處境可能完全不同。他坦言，雖然分店表現已優於多數藥局，但現實是責任、壓力樣樣不少，讓他不得不持續高度投入工作，也因此有感而發，認為台灣的整體結構出了問題。
不過，貼文曝光後，並非一面倒支持。有網友不同意他的說法，認為「每個階段本來就是一種選擇」，也有人反問，「如果五年前貸款融資去買台積電，現在也等著退休了」，強調人生沒有那麼多如果，更不該把個人選擇的結果，全數歸因於政府或社會「生病了」。
也有人對林士峰說法相當有共鳴，感嘆台灣確實出了問題，甚至形容「像是得了癌症」，「台灣前10%的人掌握超過一半財富，底層50%卻只擁有極少比例」，認為林士峰想表達的是「社會價值與報酬失衡」的問題，指出開店經營者承擔的風險與付出，往往高於單純資產持有者，卻未必獲得相對回報。
