史蒂夫·乔布斯在斯坦福大学毕业典礼上的演讲
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 result of other people's thinking.Don't let the noise of other’s opinions drown out your 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.
参考译文
没有人愿意死，即使是那些想上天堂的人，也不会为了去那里而死。但是死亡是我们每个人共同的终点，无人可以逃脱。我们注定会死，因为死亡就是生命最好的发明之一。它是生命的原动力，除旧布新。现在你们就是新的，但在不久的将来，你们也会逐渐变成旧的，然后被清除掉。原谅我说话这么夸张，不过这是千真万确的。
你们的时间有限，所以不要按照别人的意愿去生活。不要被教条束缚，那意味着你不得不接受他人的思考结果。不要被他人观点的聒噪声掩盖了你内心的声音。最重要的是，你要有勇气去倾听你的直觉和心灵的指引——因为在某种程度上，它们知道你想要成为什么人，除此之外，其他都是次要的。
