後々にある程度時間を置いてから見直したり、聞き直したりする事で実は相当なインパクトがあるようなことっていっぱいあるんだろうなぁと読んでいて痛感した記事・・・これは、相当前になるけど友人のブログのエントリーにあったところから元ネタを辿っていったら原点はここと。。休みのネットサーフィンで見つけたには非常にいいテーマだなぁと痛感。。
2008年って、昨日の友人達の新年会でも出たけど、高校を卒業してちょうど10年が経つってことで、ふと後ろを振り返ることが多くなりそう。ある程度のキャラと動き方の土台が形成されるタイミングだったからなおさら。でもその卒業式で何を語られたかとかなんてものは絶対に覚えてもいない・・・けど、↓のようなある程度含蓄ある内容だったのかも。まぁ誰が発したコメントかどうかで覚える覚えてないという説もあるけど・・・我ながら失礼な話だけど。。ということで読んでいて印象に残った部分とそれに対する僕のボヤき。
'You've got to find what you love,' Jobs says
"人生での経験と体験って大事だなぁ"。
you can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something — your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life.
"学生のときに社会人の生活をイメージしてみたけど、実際はその通りでもない。けど、決してイヤでもないし、自分の価値観に沿った生活ができている"
It was awful tasting medicine, but I guess the patient needed it. Sometimes life hits you in the head with a brick. Don't lose faith. I'm convinced that the only thing that kept me going was that I loved what I did. You've got to find what you love. And that is as true for your work as it is for your lovers. Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And 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. And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking until you find it. Don't settle.
"自分の時間は有限だというのは頭でわかってはいるけど、改めて自覚させられるｋじゅらい凄く強烈なメッセージ"
Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything — all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure - these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.
"スピーチの最後で、〆に相応しいメッセージ"
Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish. And I have always wished that for myself. And now, as you graduate to begin anew, I wish that for you.
Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish.
