演讲一般给人的感觉是慷慨激昂的，让人振奋。但你若真这要做了很可能会砸锅。没有多少人愿意一管子鸡血打下去然后原地活蹦乱跳，反而是温润的鸡汤喝到嘴里，进入心里。或许会第二天就排出体外，但总会留下点美好，甚至一碗鸡汤真的就让一个人焕发了新生。
我很喜欢这篇演讲，昨天就把这段接近一刻钟的视频给看了。今天抽闲细细回忆，其实更多的是嫉妒。虽然乔帮主英年早逝，做完这个演讲几年后还是接到了上帝的邀请函，但是他找到了一生所热爱的东西，这是最让人羡慕的地方。而“不断寻找，直有所属”也算是这篇演讲的主题。“求知若饥，虚心若愚”是在这过程中需要有的态度。
整篇文字不难，有点出乎意料。演讲也很抓人，只讲了三个小故事。
1.乔帮主的身世，被养父母养大，上大学退学，迷茫阶段的点滴。在此期间学习的书法(没用的艺术)，反而为后来Mac字体设计形成了后备资源库。
2.苹果进入流畅繁荣运营期后，乔帮主被解聘了。被自己一手带大的公司炒鱿鱼是一种无法言语的滋味，经历过压抑折磨乔帮主依旧询问本心，建立了NeXT(电脑公司)和皮克斯(以前第一次知道皮克斯是乔布斯发展起来的真的吓了一跳，现为迪士尼一部分)。在此期间遇到了他的太太，后来因为NeXT又回归了苹果。
3.关于乔帮主病情经历以及对生命的感悟，也提到了他很推崇的信条“把每一天过成最后一天”，豹豹个人是不大喜欢这种活法和理念。这样会过度完美，强迫自我，过度消耗自身，像是一颗蜡烛燃得太亮，就会烧得太快。但也或许是我还没有找到自己从心底热爱的事情。不要随便问别人为什么不追求你的梦想，对于中国人来说，生活压力真得太大了。这真的可以算是不是借口的理由。
前两天偶然翻到自己在电脑存稿的书评，不能想象那是几年前的自己，愤世张扬是每个人走过的阶段，人会随着生活逐渐平和下来，慢慢知道自己想要什么。不管生活最终给了你什么，坦然接受结果也是面对自我，接受拥抱自己的一种成熟。
以上属于个人感想，记录贴。
以下是部分英文动人的地方
story one:
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.
It was pretty scary at the time, but looking back it was one of the best decisions I ever made.
It wasn't all romantic.
And much of what I stumbled into by following my curiosity and intuition turned out to be priceless later on.
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.
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, and that will make all the difference.
story two :
What had been the focus of my entire adult life was gone, and it was devastating.
I'd been rejected but I was still in love. And so I decided to start over.
It was awful-tasting medicine but I guess the patient needed it.Sometimes life's going to hit you in the head with a brick. Don't lose faith.You've got to find what you love, and that is as true for 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, and don't settle.
story three:
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.
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.
It's 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's 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.
时光很长，生命很短。所以在属于我自己的人生中做我自己，遵循本心，寻找所爱是真正对得起来到这个世界的礼物。
Stay Hungry.Stay Foolish.
