吳軍——向死而生
絕大多數(shù)人都過分看重最后的一兩周惕耕,而忽視前面的幾十年笼才。在健康的幾十年里漱受,人們浪費(fèi)掉的時(shí)間又何止兩周呢?子女們把喝酒聊天骡送、無所事事的時(shí)間省下來1%陪父母昂羡,多盡孝道的時(shí)間能有幾個(gè)月之久。父母們把自己忙工作的時(shí)間摔踱,抽出5%陪子女虐先,享受天倫之樂的時(shí)間無形中多了不知多少。甚至只要每天開車時(shí)派敷,想著系安全帶蛹批,人均壽命就能延長一周。因此篮愉,珍視生命腐芍,從平時(shí)一點(diǎn)一滴坐起來,就等于延長了我們的壽命试躏。
死亡是人對(duì)社會(huì)的最后一次貢獻(xiàn)猪勇。沒有個(gè)體的死亡,就沒有整體的發(fā)展颠蕴。凱文.凱利講泣刹,只有一種細(xì)胞不死助析,就是癌細(xì)胞,但是整個(gè)機(jī)體會(huì)死掉椅您,然后它也會(huì)死掉貌笨。如果我們?nèi)瞬凰溃覀兊纳鐣?huì)就要死亡襟沮,最終沒一個(gè)個(gè)體也難逃死亡的厄運(yùn)。有生就有死昌腰,這是我們宇宙的基本規(guī)律开伏。
在我們有限的生命里,如果能將遺傳的信息傳遞下去遭商,再將創(chuàng)造出的信息(知識(shí)等)流傳下去固灵,我們的生命已經(jīng)相當(dāng)完美了。
活著總要做些事情劫流,但是考慮到最終要死掉巫玻,并沒有時(shí)間什么事情都做。我的想法常常和別人不同祠汇,我是倒著思考該做什么事情的仍秤,或者說,向死而生可很。把我要做的事情诗力,從最重要的開始,列一個(gè)單子我抠,就盡量開始做了苇本。
有些事情,在很多人看來菜拓,挺重要瓣窄,但是仔細(xì)想一想,可能會(huì)占據(jù)時(shí)間耽誤我去做更重要的事情纳鼎,于是便舍棄了俺夕。對(duì)我來講,決定什么事情做贱鄙,什么事情不做啥么,不是通常人們的想法,而是這張單子贰逾。一些人問我為什么離開騰訊悬荣,離開Google,還有各種猜測疙剑,我想等他們快到終點(diǎn)時(shí)會(huì)明白的氯迂,因?yàn)樵谖业膯巫由霞斜饶切┲匾枚嗟氖虑椤?/p>
喬布斯在斯坦福大學(xué)的演講
When I was 17, I read a quote that went something like: "If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you'll most certainly be right." It made an impression on me, and since 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 something.
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.
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.
做真正重要的事情
吳軍和喬布斯都講了一個(gè)本質(zhì)的東西:做對(duì)你而言最重要的事情。并且這個(gè)事情重要到可以讓你不受存量控制嚼蚀。喬布斯的那句話形容得恰到好處禁灼,當(dāng)你向死而生的時(shí)候,you are already naked轿曙,沒有什么東西可以牽絆住你的腳步弄捕。
