And most important, have the courage to follow yourheart and intuition. They somehow already know whatyou truly want to become. Everything else issecondary.
最主要的是，要有跟着自己感觉和直觉走的勇气。无论如何，感觉和直觉早就知道你到底想要成为什么样的人，其他都是次要的。
When I was young, there was an amazing publicationcalled The Whole Earth Catalog, which was one of the "bibles" of my generation. It was created by afellow named Stewart Brand not far from here in Menlo Park, and he brought it to life with his poetictouch. This was in the late 60s, before personal computers and desktop publishing, so it was allmade with typewriters, scissors, and Polaroid cameras. It was sort of like Google in paperbackform, 35 years before Google came along. It was idealistic, overflowing with neat tools and greatnotions.
我年轻时有一本非常好的刊物，叫《全球概览》，这是我们那代人的宝书之一，创办人斯图尔特·布兰德，就住在离这儿不远的门洛帕克市。他用诗一般的语言把刊物办得生动活泼。那是20世纪60年代末，那时候还没有个人电脑和桌面印刷系统，全靠打字机、剪刀和宝丽莱照相机。它就像一种纸质的谷歌，却比谷歌早问世35年。这份刊物太完美了，查阅手段齐备、构思不凡。
Stewart and his team put out several issues of The Whole Earth Catalog, and then when it had runits course, they put out a final issue. It was the mid-1970s, and I was your age. On the back coverof their final issue was a photograph of an early morning country road, the kind you might findyourself hitchhiking on if you were so adventurous. Beneath it were the words: "Stay Hungry. StayFoolish." It was their farewell message as they signed off. Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish. And I'vealways wished that for myself. And now, as you graduate to begin anew, I wish that for you.
斯图尔特和他的同事们出了好几期《全球概览》，直到最后办不下去时，他们出了最后一期。那是20世纪70年代中期，我也就是你们现在的年纪。最后一期的封底上是一张清晨乡间小路的照片，就是那种爱冒险的人等在那儿搭便车的那种小路。照片下面写到:好学如饥、谦卑若愚。那是他们停刊前的告别辞。好学若饥，谦卑若愚。这也是我一直想做到的。眼下正值诸位大学毕业、开始新生活之际，我同样希望大家能做到：
Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish.
好学若饥，谦卑若愚。
Thank you all very much.
谢谢大家。
