【正文】 ce then, for the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself, “If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?” And whenever the answer has been “no” for too many days in a row, I know I need to change that I39。ve ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life, because almost everythingall external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failurethese things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to are already is no reason not to follow your 。這句話給我留下了深刻的印象。提醒自己就要死了是我遇見的最大的幫助，幫我作了生命中的大決定。提醒自己就要死亡是我知道的最好的方法，用來(lái)避開擔(dān)心失去某些東西的陷阱。About a year ago, I was diagnosed with had a scan at 7:30 in the morning and it clearly showed a tumor on my didn39。 code for “prepare to die.” It means to try and tell your kids everything you thought

I was young, there was an amazing publication called The Whole Earth Catalogue, which was one of the bibles of my was created by a fellow named Stuart Brand not far from here in Menlo Park, and he brought it to life with his poetic was in the late 1960s, before personal puters and desktop publishing, so it was all made with typewriters, scissors, and Polaroid was sort of like Google in paperback form 35 years before Google came was idealistic, overflowing with neat tools and great and his team put out several issues of the The Whole Earth Catalogue, and then when it had run its course, they put out a final was the mid1970s and I was your 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

boy。我的親生母親是一名年輕未婚的大學(xué)畢業(yè)生。所以在我出生前，她已經(jīng)準(zhǔn)備一切，讓一位律師和他的妻子收養(yǎng)。所以，我的養(yǎng)父養(yǎng)母(他們當(dāng)時(shí)還在候選名單上)突然在半夜接到了一個(gè)電話：“我們有一個(gè)意外降生的男嬰，你們想收養(yǎng)他嗎?”他們回答說(shuō)： “當(dāng)然!” 但是我親生母親隨后發(fā)現(xiàn)，我的養(yǎng)母從未上過(guò)大學(xué)，我的養(yǎng)父高中沒(méi)畢業(yè)。但在幾個(gè)月以后，因?yàn)槲业酿B(yǎng)父養(yǎng)母答應(yīng)她一定要讓我上大學(xué)，她才心軟同意了。但我天真地選擇了一個(gè)幾乎和斯坦福大學(xué)一樣貴的學(xué)校，我父母還處于工薪階層，為了交學(xué)費(fèi)，他們幾乎耗光所有積蓄。我不知道(我生命中)要追求什么，我也不知道學(xué)校是否能幫我找到答案。所以，我決定退學(xué)，并且我相信車到山前必有路。在我做出退學(xué)決定后，我再也不用去上那些我絲毫沒(méi)有興趣的必修課，我開始去聽那些看起來(lái)有趣的課程。沒(méi)了宿舍，所以我要到朋友家睡地板。為了每周一頓的好一點(diǎn)的飯，每個(gè)星期天晚上，我穿街過(guò)巷，步行7英里到hare krishna教堂。在好奇和直覺的引導(dǎo)下，我跌跌撞撞地遇到很多東西，這些后來(lái)被證明是無(wú)價(jià)瑰寶。學(xué)校里的每個(gè)海報(bào)，抽屜上的每個(gè)標(biāo)簽，上面全都是漂亮的書法。我學(xué)到了san serif 和serif字體，我學(xué)會(huì)了怎么樣在不同的字母組合之中變化間距，還有怎么樣做最好的版式。none of
