Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish.

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. 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.

保持饥饿。保持愚蠢。

现在新的是你，但是不久以后的某一天，你会逐渐变老并被清除。很抱歉这么夸张，但这是真的。

你的时间是有限的，所以不要浪费时间过别人的生活。

不要被教条所束缚，那就是活在别人思考的结果中。不要让别人的意见淹没了你内心的声音。

最重要的是，要有勇气跟随自己的内心和直觉。他们已经知道你真正想成为什么样的人。其他一切都是次要的。

当我年轻的时候，有一本叫《全地球目录》的惊人出版物，是我们这一代人的圣经之一。

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, 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.

它是由一个名叫斯图尔特·布兰德的人在离这里不远的门罗公园创作的，他用他的诗意的笔触将它带到了生活中。

这是在60年代末，在个人电脑和桌面出版之前，所以它都是用打字机、剪刀和宝丽来相机制作的。

它有点像平装版的Google，在Google出现之前35年：它是理想主义的，充满了简洁的工具和伟大的理念。

斯图尔特和他的团队出版了几期《全地球目录》，当它运行完之后，他们出版了最后一期。

那是70年代中期，我和你一样大。他们最后一期的封底是一张清晨乡间小路的照片，如果你喜欢冒险，你可能会发现自己是搭便车去的。

下面写着：“保持饥饿。“别傻了。”这是他们在签字时的告别语。保持饥饿。保持愚蠢。

我一直都希望自己能这样。现在，当你们毕业，开始新的生活时，我希望你们能这样。

保持饥饿。保持愚蠢。

非常感谢大家。

㈠你问人问题，她若答非所问，便已是答了，无须再问。——木心

㈡我有一个关系特别好的朋友是“路痴”。有一天，她给我打电话说她迷路了，让我去接她，我就过去了。到了地方我打电话问她具体在哪儿。她说：“你往天上看，有没有一朵三角形的云彩？”我往天上看了一眼说：“看到了。”结果她说：“我就在那片三角形的云彩的正下方等你……”

㈢有时候，把好位置让给别人坐，自己在旁边帮着抬轿子，是很有必要的。这就是“君子三畏”的道理，也是一种哲学。一个有思想信仰的人，其成就绝对不凡；而一个无所畏惧的人，不会轻易成功。
