昨天看了几篇,艾伦,Larry Page(谷歌创始人),库克还有雪梨(脸书的COO,写lean in的那位)。除了艾伦外,其他三位均是互联网行业,不出所料最喜欢艾伦的演讲。但是太短,想了想库克的这一篇还是有些内容的。虽然略枯燥,,Sheryl Sandberg主要讨论了在她的丈夫心脏病突发离开后,如何克服悲伤,恢复生活的事情。略有些沉重,不过里面列出的个性,普遍性,持续性还是值得一提的。
不过今天只谈库克这篇,库克在演讲中说到了读高中时的经历,谈到了segregation和价值观,(川--普你真应该来看一看,你在公众讲话中的表现真的很可耻),谈到了价值观引导我们的人生走向。第二部分不可避免提到了苹果和乔布斯,不过令我印象最深刻的反而是他引用马丁路德金的话
Dr. King wrote that our society needed to repent, not merely for the hateful words of the bad people, but for the appalling silence of the good people.
这段话与鲁迅先生的思想不谋而合。
读了这么多篇演讲,不能说不受触动。但每个人的生活与局限却是骨感的现实,人害怕改变,抗拒走出熟悉与安全是一种天性。但不管怎样,让你的价值观正确,坚持自己的北斗星的确是应该做的事情。
以下是部分有感触的句子。如果可能,这本书今天结束。不想明天再灌鸡汤了。
Each had made a journey that led them to the values that they lived by, but it wasn't just about their experiences or their circumstances, it had to come from within.
I knew who I was in my personal life, and I kept my eye on my North Star, my responsibility to do good for someone else, other than myself. But at work, well I always figured that work was work. Values had their place and, yes, there were things that I wanted to change about the world, but I thought I had to do that on my own time. Not in the office. Steve didn't see it that way. He was an idealist. And in that way he reminded me of how I felt as a teenager. In that first meeting he convinced me if we worked hard and made great products, we too could help change the world. And to my surprise, I was hooked. I took the job and changed my life. It's been 17 years and I have never once looked back.
这一段是乔布斯对其想法的影响。但豹豹本人并不喜欢苹果,或者说对于电子产品都算不上热衷,它们毕竟侵占了太多生活,思考,与他人相处的时间和空间。
Graduates, your values matter. They are your North Star. And work takes on new meaning when you feel you are pointed in the right direction. Otherwise, it's just a job, and life is too short for that.
我倒是最认同下面的话
Your challenge is to find work that pays the rent, puts food on the table, and lets you do what is right and good and just.
把能做的做好,把该做的做好。努力生活尽一份力就是一个不小的挑战了。
演讲集笔记准备就这样收尾了。后面不再更了,一篇是金凯瑞,(反正我也不大喜欢他的无厘头电影。另一个不大喜的就是尼古拉斯凯奇,你要在很多烂片中才能找着他的经典)最后一篇是美国的一位作家,大卫福斯特华莱士,豹豹没听说他,查了下发现做完05年的演讲后三年就自杀了。比较唏嘘,有时候也是觉得为什么不要过度陷入思考,哲学,文学或者艺术。不是成就天才就是成就疯子,中间的部分就被岁月无情得扫走了。
以上。
