Steve Jobs已經離開我們有三年多,目前是CEO的Tim Cook,每一年都沒有忘記他。今天,其實是Steve Jobs的60歲冥壽,Tim Cook就主動在Twitter提到這個事情。
Tim Cook在Twitter中稱,要做好的事情,就要先愛你所做的事情。其實,Tim Cook的原句「The only way to do great work is to love what you do.」,是來自Steve Jobs在2005年於史丹福發表的事情,當中提到有關死亡的一件事:
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 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.
大家的時間其實是有限的,所以別浪費時間活在別人的世界,也不要被別人的想法所困。Steve Jobs也提醒,大家不要因為別人的意見,而令自己不再相信心底裏的想法。最重要的,大家要跟自己的想法去做。
