無心劍中譯喬布斯語錄

We’re here to put a dent in the universe. Otherwise why else even be here?
人生在世要留痕,豈有他故歷紅塵?
Be a yardstick of quality. Some people aren’t used to an environment where excellence is expected.
成為品質的標杆。有些人不習慣期待卓越的環境。
Innovation distinguishes between a leader and a follower.
創新區分領導者與追隨者。
You know, we don’t grow most of the food we eat. We wear clothes other people make. We speak a language that other people developed. We use a mathematics that other people evolved… I mean, we’re constantly taking things. It’s a wonderful, ecstatic feeling to create something that puts it back in the pool of human experience and knowledge.
你知道,我們並不種植自己所食之物,穿着別人製作的衣服,說着別人發明的語言,用着別人推演的數學……一直採取拿來主義。創造新事物,將其放回人類經驗知識池,那感覺美妙而狂喜。
There’ a phrase in Buddhism, ‘Beginner’s mind.’ It’s wonderful to have a beginner’s mind.
佛教有雲:初心。擁有初心很美妙。
We think basically you watch television to turn your brain off, and you work on your computer when you want to turn your brain on.
我們基本上認為,觀看電視,大腦就停工;想要大腦開工,就使用電腦。

Don’t equate making mistakes with being a mistake. There is no such thing as a successful person who has not failed or made mistakes, there are successful people who made mistakes and changed their lives or performance in response to them, and so got it right the next time. They viewed mistakes as warnings rather than signs of hopeless inadequacy. Never making a mistake means never living life to the full.
莫將犯錯等同於錯誤。成功者不失敗或不犯錯,世間從無此事,相反,成功者在犯錯之後,做出相應改正,下次就不重蹈覆轍。他們將錯誤視為警告而非絕望不足的跡象。從不犯錯意味着從未充分生活過。
The only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking. Don’t settle. As with all matters of the heart, you’ll know when you find it.
成就偉業,別無他途,熱愛自己的事業。倘若尚未找到,那就繼續尋找,切莫止步。聽從內心,找到熱愛的事業,那時你自然明白。
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 other’s 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.
你的時間有限,莫浪費時間為別人而活。莫被教條束縛 — 按別人思考結果而活。莫讓他人意見淹沒內心聲音。最重要的,鼓足勇氣,遵從內心與直覺。不知何故,它們明白你真實意圖,其餘都是次要的。
I would trade all of my technology for an afternoon with Socrates.
與蘇格拉底相處一個下午,我願用我全部的技術來交換。
Do you want to spend the rest of your life selling sugared water or do you want a chance to change the world?
想要賣糖水度過餘生,還是想要機會改變世界?
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.
死亡很可能是生命唯一的最佳發明。它是生命的促變者,清除舊一代,為新一代開道。
If you do something and it turns out pretty good, then you should go do something else wonderful, not dwell on it for too long. Just figure out what’s next。
若某事你做得漂亮,那應做其它精彩事,莫在它上面呆得太久,搞清楚接下來做什麼。
Being the richest man in the cemetery doesn’t matter to me … Going to bed at night saying we’ve done something wonderful… that’s what matters to me。
成為墓地首富,對我無關緊要…夜晚上床時說:我們事做得很精彩,那才對我很重要。
Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose。
記住你總會辭世,是避免「患得患失」思考陷阱的最佳方法。
Life is brief, and then you die, you know?
人生短暫,然後辭世,明白嗎?
You can’t just ask customers what they want and then try to give that to them. By the time you get it built, they’ll want something new.
你不能只問顧客要什麼,然後盡力滿足其要求。等你辛苦做出來,他們卻另有新歡。
Stay hungry, stay foolish.
求知若飢,虛心若愚。(合乎道家思想)
