出現(xiàn)一個腫瘤，我連胰臟是什么都不知道。醫(yī)生告訴我，那幾乎可以確定 是一種不治之癥，我大概活不到三到六個月了。醫(yī)生建議我回家，好好跟 親人們聚一聚，這是醫(yī)生對臨終病人的標準建議。那代表你得試著在幾個 月內(nèi)把你將來十年想跟小孩講的話講完。那代表你得把每件事情搞定，家人才會盡量輕松。那代表你得跟人說再見了。我整天想著那個診斷結果，那天晚上做了一次切片，從喉嚨伸入一個內(nèi)視鏡，從胃進腸子，插了根 針進胰臟，取了一些腫瘤細胞出來。我打了鎮(zhèn)靜劑，不醒人事，但是我老 婆在場。她后來跟我說，當醫(yī)生們用顯微鏡看過那些細胞后，他們都哭了，因為那是非常少見的一種胰臟癌，可以用手術治好。所以我接受了手術，康復了。This was the closest I39。ve been to facing death, and I hope it39。s the closest I get for a few more lived through it, I can now say this to you with a bit more certainty than when death was a useful but purely intellectual concept: No one wants to people who want to go to heaven don39。t want to die to get yet death is the destination we all one has ever escaped that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of 39。s Life39。s change clears out the old to make way for the now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually bee the old and be cleared to be so dramatic, but it39。s quite ，我希望那會繼續(xù)是未來幾十年內(nèi)最接近的 一次。經(jīng)歷此事后，我可以比之前死亡只是抽象概念時要更肯定告訴你們 下面這些：沒有人想死。即使那些想上天堂的人，也想活著上天堂。但是死亡是 我們共有的目的地，沒有人逃得過。這是注定的，因為死亡簡直就是生命 中最棒的發(fā)明，是生命變化的媒介，送走老人們，給新生代留下空間?，F(xiàn) 在你們是新生代，但是不久的將來，你們也會逐漸變老，被送出人生的舞 臺。抱歉講得這么戲劇化，但是這是真的。Your time is limited, so don39。t waste it living someone else39。s 39。t be trapped by dogmawhich is living with the results of other people39。s 39。t let the noise of others39。 opinions drown out your own inner most important, have the courage to follow your heart and somehow already know what you truly want to else is ，所以不要浪費時間活在別人的生活里。不要被信條 所惑——盲從信條就是活在別人思考的結果里。不要讓別人的意見淹沒了 你內(nèi)在的心聲。最重要的，擁有跟隨內(nèi)心與直覺的勇氣，你的內(nèi)心與直覺 多少已經(jīng)知道你真正想要成為什么樣的人。任何其它事物都是次要的。When I was young, there was an amazing publication called The Whole Earth Catalog, which was one of the “bibles” of my was created by a fellow named Stewart Brand

the finest universities in the never graduated from be told, this is the closest I39。ve ever gotten to a college I want to tell you three stories from my 39。s big three 。我大學沒畢業(yè)，說實話，這是我第一次離大學畢業(yè)典禮這么近。今天我想給大家講三個我自己的故事，不講別的，也不講大道理，就講三個故事。The first story is about connecting the dropped out of Reed College after the first 6 months, but then stayed around as a dropin for another 18 months or so before I really why did I drop out?第一個故事講的是點與點之間的關系。我在里德學院（Reed College）只讀了六個月就退學了，此后便在學校里旁聽，又過了大約一年半，我徹底離開。那么，我為什么退學呢？It started before I was biological mother was a young, unwed college graduate student, and she decided to put me up for felt very strongly that I should be adopted by collegegraduates, so everything was all set for me to be adopted at birth by a lawyer and his that when I popped out they decided at the last minute that they really wanted a my parents, who were on a waiting list, got a call in the middle of the night asking: “We have an unexpected baby boy。do you want him?” They said: “Of course.” My biological mother later found out that my mother had nevergraduated from college and that my father had never graduated from high refused to sign the final adoption only relented a few months later when my parents promised that I would someday go to 。我的生母是一名年輕的未婚在校研究生，她決定將我送給別人收養(yǎng)。她非常希望收養(yǎng)我的是有大學學歷的人，所以把一切都安排好了，我一出生就交給一對律師夫婦收養(yǎng)。沒想到我落地的霎那間，那對夫婦卻決定收養(yǎng)一名女孩。就這樣，我的養(yǎng)父母——當時他們還在登記冊上排隊等著呢——半夜三更接到一個電話: “我們這兒有一個沒人要的男嬰，你們要么？”“當然要”他們回答。但是，我的生母后來發(fā)現(xiàn)我的養(yǎng)母不是大學畢業(yè)生，我的養(yǎng)父甚至連中學都沒有畢業(yè)，所以她拒絕在最后的收養(yǎng)文件上簽字。不過，沒過幾個月她就心軟了，因為我的養(yǎng)父母許諾日后一定送我上大學。And 17 years later I did go to I naively chose a college that was almost as expensive as Stanford, and all of my workingclass parents39。 savings were being spent on my college six months, I couldn39。t see the value in had no idea what I wanted to do with my life and no idea how college was going to help me figure it here I was spending all of the money my parents had saved their entire I decided to drop out and trust that it would all work out was pretty scary at the time, but looking back it was one of the best decisions I ever minute I dropped out I could stop taking the required classes that didn39。t interest me, and begin dropping in on the ones that looked ，我真的進了大學。當時我很天真，選了一所學費幾乎和斯坦福大學一樣昂貴的學校，當工人的養(yǎng)父母傾其所有的積蓄為我支付了大學學費。讀了六個月后，我卻看不出上學有什么意義。我既不知道自己這一生想干什么，也不知道大學是否能
