经常上自习十一点钟,我自己在教室自习。自习完了,自己出去。那个时候没有人了,路上都没有人了。我记得是个秋天,晚上很冷。我就走在路上,往宿舍走,只能听到我自己的脚步声。那个时候,我感到一种无比的喜悦,我感到我在不断地向前进。

这个世界上有很多人,很多种选择,最低的是温饱,然后是利益,超越钱的,是名望,权力。但是在超越这些所有东西之上,还有一样东西,叫智慧。

你到这个世界上来,你应该有这样一个觉悟,就是你终究是要死的。这是对于一个人来说很悲剧的事,无论他多厉害,无论多牛,多嚣张,他都是要死的。他都有终结那一天。但是在这段时间,你做什么呢?不断地看书,懂得这个世界的很多东西,知道这个世界的规律,那是一种无比的喜悦。

历史这个东西太深奥了,它都是最高层次的事。我无论身处在多小的房间里,我只要翻开那本书,我就是在看大海。它记录了无数人的一辈子,他们不断地挣扎,想出头,想出名。有的是为了正义而奋斗,有的是为了私利而奋斗。

这些人,无论他怎么折腾,最后都只在这本书里。你一页纸翻过去,就能翻过无数人的一辈子。

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.

当我年轻的时候,有一本非常棒的杂志叫《全球概览》,它是我们那一代人的圣经之一。它的创办人叫 Stewart Brand,就在离这不远的 Menlo Park,他以艺术般的手法为刊物注入了生命。那是60年代末,早在在个人电脑出现以前,所以这本书完全是用打字机、剪刀还有老相机制作的,它就像书籍版的 Google,在 Google 出现的35年之前,它充斥着理想的色彩、简洁的工具和伟大的想法。

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.

Stewart 和他的伙伴出版了几期的《全球概览》,当它完成了自己使命的时候,他们出版了最后的一期。那是70年代中期,我正是你们现在的年纪,最后一期的封底上,是一幅清晨乡村公路的照片,是那种你去搭便车旅行就会看到的景色,照片下面有一句话“Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish.”这是他们停刊的告别语,“Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish.”。我总是以此自勉,在你们即将展开新的旅程之时,我将这句话也赠予你们,“Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish.”

你可以志存高远地科研,也可以心平气和地科研。你擅长科研就追求优秀地毕业,不擅长科研就接受普通的毕业。

只要你能堂堂正正的达到毕业要求,那两种选择都成立。关键是内心要自洽,别拧巴。

选前一条路的,别看不起选后一条路的;选后一条路,别看不起自己。

When you don’t create things, you become defined by your tastes rather than ability. your tastes only narrow & exclude people. so create.

当你停止创造,你的才能不再重要,你所拥有的只剩下品味,而品味会裹挟着你,让你排斥他人,变得狭隘。所以,去创造。
