??????今天在網(wǎng)上無(wú)意中發(fā)現(xiàn)了蘋(píng)果電腦之父喬布斯在斯坦福大學(xué)的演講，他在演講中說(shuō)了三個(gè)關(guān)于自己的故事，我看了之后很有感觸。今天把原文和譯文都發(fā)上來(lái)，供大家參考。另外這里有YouTube上的視頻觀看。這里有演講mp3下載。

??????Steve Jobs說(shuō)，你得找出你愛(ài)的 (You've got to find what you love.)。?

??????以下是蘋(píng)果計(jì)算機(jī)公司與Pixar動(dòng)畫(huà)制作室執(zhí)行長(zhǎng)Steve Jobs在2005年六月12日對(duì)全體史丹佛大學(xué)畢業(yè)生的演講內(nèi)容：

??????今天，有榮幸來(lái)到各位從世界上最好的學(xué)校之一畢業(yè)的畢業(yè)典禮上。我從來(lái)沒(méi)從大學(xué)畢業(yè)。說(shuō)實(shí)話，這是我離大學(xué)畢業(yè)最近的一刻。今天，我只說(shuō)三個(gè)故事，不談大道理，三個(gè)故事就好。?

??????第一個(gè)故事，是關(guān)于人生中的點(diǎn)點(diǎn)滴滴怎么串連在一起。?

??????我在里德學(xué)院（Reed college）待了六個(gè)月就辦休學(xué)了。到我退學(xué)前，一共休學(xué)了十八個(gè)月。那么，我為什么休學(xué)？?

??????這得從我出生前講起。我的親生母親當(dāng)時(shí)是個(gè)研究生，年輕未婚媽媽?zhuān)龥Q定讓別人收養(yǎng)我。她強(qiáng)烈覺(jué)得應(yīng)該讓有大學(xué)畢業(yè)的人收養(yǎng)我，所以我出生時(shí)，她就準(zhǔn)備讓我被一對(duì)律師夫婦收養(yǎng)。但是這對(duì)夫妻到了最后一刻反悔了，他們想收養(yǎng)女孩。所以在等待收養(yǎng)名單上的一對(duì)夫妻，我的養(yǎng)父母，在一天半夜里接到一通電話，問(wèn)他們「有一名意外出生的男孩，你們要認(rèn)養(yǎng)他嗎？」而他們的回答是「當(dāng)然要」。后來(lái)，我的生母發(fā)現(xiàn)，我現(xiàn)在的媽媽從來(lái)沒(méi)有大學(xué)畢業(yè)，我現(xiàn)在的爸爸則連高中畢業(yè)也沒(méi)有。她拒絕在認(rèn)養(yǎng)文件上做最后簽字。直到幾個(gè)月后，我的養(yǎng)父母同意將來(lái)一定會(huì)讓我上大學(xué)，她才軟化態(tài)度。?

??????十七年后，我上大學(xué)了。但是當(dāng)時(shí)我無(wú)知選了一所學(xué)費(fèi)幾乎跟史丹佛一樣貴的大學(xué)，我那工人階級(jí)的父母所有積蓄都花在我的學(xué)費(fèi)上。六個(gè)月后，我看不出念這個(gè)書(shū)的價(jià)值何在。那時(shí)候，我不知道這輩子要干什么，也不知道念大學(xué)能對(duì)我有什么幫助，而且我為了念這個(gè)書(shū)，花光了我父母這輩子的所有積蓄，所以我決定休學(xué)，相信船到橋頭自然直。當(dāng)時(shí)這個(gè)決定看來(lái)相當(dāng)可怕，可是現(xiàn)在看來(lái)，那是我這輩子做過(guò)最好的決定之一。當(dāng)我休學(xué)之后，我再也不用上我沒(méi)興趣的必修課，把時(shí)間拿去聽(tīng)那些我有興趣的課。?

??????這一點(diǎn)也不浪漫。我沒(méi)有宿舍，所以我睡在友人家里的地板上，靠著回收可樂(lè)空罐的五先令退費(fèi)買(mǎi)吃的，每個(gè)星期天晚上得走七里的路繞過(guò)大半個(gè)鎮(zhèn)去印度教的Hare Krishna神廟吃頓好料。我喜歡Hare Krishna神廟的好料。追尋我的好奇與直覺(jué)，我所駐足的大部分事物，后來(lái)看來(lái)都成了無(wú)價(jià)之寶。舉例來(lái)說(shuō)：?

??????當(dāng)時(shí)里德學(xué)院有著大概是全國(guó)最好的書(shū)法指導(dǎo)。在整個(gè)校園內(nèi)的每一張海報(bào)上，每個(gè)抽屜的標(biāo)簽上，都是美麗的手寫(xiě)字。因?yàn)槲倚輰W(xué)了，可以不照正常選課程序來(lái)，所以我跑去學(xué)書(shū)法。我學(xué)了serif與san serif字體，學(xué)到在不同字母組合間變更字間距，學(xué)到活版印刷偉大的地方。書(shū)法的美好、歷史感與藝術(shù)感是科學(xué)所無(wú)法捕捉的，我覺(jué)得那很迷人。?

??????我沒(méi)預(yù)期過(guò)學(xué)的這些東西能在我生活中起些什么實(shí)際作用，不過(guò)十年后，當(dāng)我在設(shè)計(jì)第一臺(tái)麥金塔時(shí)，我想起了當(dāng)時(shí)所學(xué)的東西，所以把這些東西都設(shè)計(jì)進(jìn)了麥金塔里，這是第一臺(tái)能印刷出漂亮東西的計(jì)算機(jī)。如果我沒(méi)沉溺于那樣一門(mén)課里，麥金塔可能就不會(huì)有多重字體跟變間距字體了。又因?yàn)閃indows抄襲了麥金塔的使用方式，如果當(dāng)年我沒(méi)這樣做，大概世界上所有的個(gè)人計(jì)算機(jī)都不會(huì)有這些東西，印不出現(xiàn)在我們看到的漂亮的字來(lái)了。當(dāng)然，當(dāng)我還在大學(xué)里時(shí)，不可能把這些點(diǎn)點(diǎn)滴滴預(yù)先串在一起，但是這在十年后回顧，就顯得非常清楚。?

??????我再說(shuō)一次，你不能預(yù)先把點(diǎn)點(diǎn)滴滴串在一起；唯有未來(lái)回顧時(shí)，你才會(huì)明白那些點(diǎn)點(diǎn)滴滴是如何串在一起的。所以你得相信，你現(xiàn)在所體會(huì)的東西，將來(lái)多少會(huì)連接在一塊。你得信任某個(gè)東西，直覺(jué)也好，命運(yùn)也好，生命也好，或者業(yè)力。這種作法從來(lái)沒(méi)讓我失望，也讓我的人生整個(gè)不同起來(lái)。?

??????我的第二個(gè)故事，有關(guān)愛(ài)與失去。?

??????我好運(yùn)－年輕時(shí)就發(fā)現(xiàn)自己愛(ài)做什么事。我二十歲時(shí)，跟Steve Wozniak在我爸媽的車(chē)庫(kù)里開(kāi)始了蘋(píng)果計(jì)算機(jī)的事業(yè)。我們拼命工作，蘋(píng)果計(jì)算機(jī)在十年間從一間車(chē)庫(kù)里的兩個(gè)小伙子擴(kuò)展成了一家員工超過(guò)四千人、市價(jià)二十億美金的公司，在那之前一年推出了我們最棒的作品－麥金塔，而我才剛邁入人生的第三十個(gè)年頭，然后被炒魷魚(yú)。要怎么讓自己創(chuàng)辦的公司炒自己魷魚(yú)？好吧，當(dāng)蘋(píng)果計(jì)算機(jī)成長(zhǎng)后，我請(qǐng)了一個(gè)我以為他在經(jīng)營(yíng)公司上很有才干的家伙來(lái)，他在頭幾年也確實(shí)干得不錯(cuò)。可是我們對(duì)未來(lái)的愿景不同，最后只好分道揚(yáng)鑣，董事會(huì)站在他那邊，炒了我魷魚(yú)，公開(kāi)把我請(qǐng)了出去。曾經(jīng)是我整個(gè)成年生活重心的東西不見(jiàn)了，令我不知所措。?

??????有幾個(gè)月，我實(shí)在不知道要干什么好。我覺(jué)得我令企業(yè)界的前輩們失望－我把他們交給我的接力棒弄丟了。我見(jiàn)了創(chuàng)辦HP的David Packard跟創(chuàng)辦Intel的Bob Noyce，跟他們說(shuō)我很抱歉把事情搞砸得很厲害了。我成了公眾的非常負(fù)面示范，我甚至想要離開(kāi)硅谷。但是漸漸的，我發(fā)現(xiàn)，我還是喜愛(ài)著我做過(guò)的事情，在蘋(píng)果的日子經(jīng)歷的事件沒(méi)有絲毫改變我愛(ài)做的事。我被否定了，可是我還是愛(ài)做那些事情，所以我決定從頭來(lái)過(guò)。?

??????當(dāng)時(shí)我沒(méi)發(fā)現(xiàn)，但是現(xiàn)在看來(lái)，被蘋(píng)果計(jì)算機(jī)開(kāi)除，是我所經(jīng)歷過(guò)最好的事情。成功的沉重被從頭來(lái)過(guò)的輕松所取代，每件事情都不那么確定，讓我自由進(jìn)入這輩子最有創(chuàng)意的年代。?

??????接下來(lái)五年，我開(kāi)了一家叫做NeXT的公司，又開(kāi)一家叫做Pixar的公司，也跟后來(lái)的老婆談起了戀愛(ài)。Pixar接著制作了世界上第一部全計(jì)算機(jī)動(dòng)畫(huà)電影，玩具總動(dòng)員，現(xiàn)在是世界上最成功的動(dòng)畫(huà)制作公司。然后，蘋(píng)果計(jì)算機(jī)買(mǎi)下了NeXT，我回到了蘋(píng)果，我們?cè)贜eXT發(fā)展的技術(shù)成了蘋(píng)果計(jì)算機(jī)后來(lái)復(fù)興的核心。我也有了個(gè)美妙的家庭。?

??????我很確定，如果當(dāng)年蘋(píng)果計(jì)算機(jī)沒(méi)開(kāi)除我，就不會(huì)發(fā)生這些事情。這帖藥很苦口，可是我想蘋(píng)果計(jì)算機(jī)這個(gè)病人需要這帖藥。有時(shí)候，人生會(huì)用磚頭打你的頭。不要喪失信心。我確信，我愛(ài)我所做的事情，這就是這些年來(lái)讓我繼續(xù)走下去的唯一理由。你得找出你愛(ài)的，工作上是如此，對(duì)情人也是如此。你的工作將填滿你的一大塊人生，唯一獲得真正滿足的方法就是做你相信是偉大的工作，而唯一做偉大工作的方法是愛(ài)你所做的事。如果你還沒(méi)找到這些事，繼續(xù)找，別停頓。盡你全心全力，你知道你一定會(huì)找到。而且，如同任何偉大的關(guān)系，事情只會(huì)隨著時(shí)間愈來(lái)愈好。所以，在你找到之前，繼續(xù)找，別停頓。?


??????我的第三個(gè)故事，關(guān)于死亡。?

??????當(dāng)我十七歲時(shí)，我讀到一則格言，好像是「把每一天都當(dāng)成生命中的最后一天，你就會(huì)輕松自在。」這對(duì)我影響深遠(yuǎn)，在過(guò)去33年里，我每天早上都會(huì)照鏡子，自問(wèn)：「如果今天是此生最后一日，我今天要干些什么？」每當(dāng)我連續(xù)太多天都得到一個(gè)「沒(méi)事做」的答案時(shí)，我就知道我必須有所變革了。?

??????提醒自己快死了，是我在人生中下重大決定時(shí)，所用過(guò)最重要的工具。因?yàn)閹缀趺考拢型饨缙谕⑺忻u(yù)、所有對(duì)困窘或失敗的恐懼－在面對(duì)死亡時(shí)，都消失了，只有最重要的東西才會(huì)留下。提醒自己快死了，是我所知避免掉入自己有東西要失去了的陷阱里最好的方法。人生不帶來(lái)，死不帶去，沒(méi)什么道理不順心而為。?

??????一年前，我被診斷出癌癥。我在早上七點(diǎn)半作斷層掃描，在胰臟清楚出現(xiàn)一個(gè)腫瘤，我連胰臟是什么都不知道。醫(yī)生告訴我，那幾乎可以確定是一種不治之癥，我大概活不到三到六個(gè)月了。醫(yī)生建議我回家，好好跟親人們聚一聚，這是醫(yī)生對(duì)臨終病人的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)建議。那代表你得試著在幾個(gè)月內(nèi)把你將來(lái)十年想跟小孩講的話講完。那代表你得把每件事情搞定，家人才會(huì)盡量輕松。那代表你得跟人說(shuō)再見(jiàn)了。?
???
??????我整天想著那個(gè)診斷結(jié)果，那天晚上做了一次切片，從喉嚨伸入一個(gè)內(nèi)視鏡，從胃進(jìn)腸子，插了根針進(jìn)胰臟，取了一些腫瘤細(xì)胞出來(lái)。我打了鎮(zhèn)靜劑，不醒人事，但是我老婆在場(chǎng)。她后來(lái)跟我說(shuō)，當(dāng)醫(yī)生們用顯微鏡看過(guò)那些細(xì)胞后，他們都哭了，因?yàn)槟鞘欠浅Ｉ僖?jiàn)的一種胰臟癌，可以用手術(shù)治好。所以我接受了手術(shù)，康復(fù)了。?

??????這是我最接近死亡的時(shí)候，我希望那會(huì)繼續(xù)是未來(lái)幾十年內(nèi)最接近的一次。經(jīng)歷此事后，我可以比之前死亡只是抽象概念時(shí)要更肯定告訴你們下面這些：?

??????沒(méi)有人想死。即使那些想上天堂的人，也想活著上天堂。但是死亡是我們共有的目的地，沒(méi)有人逃得過(guò)。這是注定的，因?yàn)樗劳龊?jiǎn)直就是生命中最棒的發(fā)明，是生命變化的媒介，送走老人們，給新生代留下空間。現(xiàn)在你們是新生代，但是不久的將來(lái)，你們也會(huì)逐漸變老，被送出人生的舞臺(tái)。抱歉講得這么戲劇化，但是這是真的。?

??????你們的時(shí)間有限，所以不要浪費(fèi)時(shí)間活在別人的生活里。不要被信條所惑－盲從信條就是活在別人思考結(jié)果里。不要讓別人的意見(jiàn)淹沒(méi)了你內(nèi)在的心聲。最重要的，擁有跟隨內(nèi)心與直覺(jué)的勇氣，你的內(nèi)心與直覺(jué)多少已經(jīng)知道你真正想要成為什么樣的人。任何其它事物都是次要的。?

??????在我年輕時(shí)，有本神奇的雜志叫做Whole Earth Catalog，當(dāng)年我們很迷這本雜志。那是一位住在離這不遠(yuǎn)的Menlo Park的Stewart Brand發(fā)行的，他把雜志辦得很有詩(shī)意。那是1960年代末期，個(gè)人計(jì)算機(jī)跟桌上出版還沒(méi)發(fā)明，所有內(nèi)容都是打字機(jī)、剪刀跟拍立得相機(jī)做出來(lái)的。雜志內(nèi)容有點(diǎn)像印在紙上的Google，在Google出現(xiàn)之前35年就有了：理想化，充滿新奇工具與神奇的注記。?

??????Stewart跟他的出版團(tuán)隊(duì)出了好幾期Whole Earth Catalog，然后出了停刊號(hào)。當(dāng)時(shí)是1970年代中期，我正是你們現(xiàn)在這個(gè)年齡的時(shí)候。在停刊號(hào)的封底，有張?jiān)绯苦l(xiāng)間小路的照片，那種你去爬山時(shí)會(huì)經(jīng)過(guò)的鄉(xiāng)間小路。在照片下有行小字：?
??????求知若饑，虛心若愚。?

??????那是他們親筆寫(xiě)下的告別訊息，我總是以此自許。當(dāng)你們畢業(yè)，展開(kāi)新生活，我也以此期許你們。?

??????求知若饑，虛心若愚。?

??????非常謝謝大家。

Stanford Report, June 14, 2005

'You've got to find what you love,' Jobs says

This is the text of the Commencement address by Steve Jobs, CEO of Apple Computer and of Pixar Animation Studios, delivered 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, its 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 retuned 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 its 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 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.

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.
