“Stay Hungry, Stay Foolish.“求知若饥,虚心若愚

Thank you.
I’m honored to be with you today for your commencement from one of the finest universities in the world. Truth be told, I never graduated from college, and this is the closest I’ve ever gotten to a college graduation. Today, I want to tell you three stories from my life. That’s it. No big deal. Just three stories.
The first story is about connecting the dots. I dropped out of Reed College after the first six months, but then stayed around as a drop-in for another 18 months or so before I really quit. So why did I drop out?
It started before I was born. My biological mother was a young, unwed graduate student, and she decided to put me up for adoption. She felt very strongly that I should be adopted by college graduates, so everything was all set for me to be adopted at birth by a lawyer and his wife – except that when I popped out they decided at the last minute that they really wanted a girl.
So my parents, who were on a waiting list, got a call in the middle of the night asking, “We’ve got an unexpected baby boy; do you want him?” They said, “Of course.” My biological mother found out later that my mother had never graduated from college and that my father had never graduated from high school. She refused to sign the final adoption papers. She only relented a few months later when my parents promised that I would go to college. This was the start in my life.
And 17 years later I did go to college. But I naively chose a college that was almost as expensive as Stanford, and all of my working-class parents’ savings were being spent on my college tuition. After six months, I couldn’t see the value in it. I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life and no idea how college was going to help me figure it
out. And here I was spending all of the money my parents had saved their entire life.
炒股 vs 壁虎 vs 鳄鱼
From TechWeb
有一只壁虎在一家证券公司门口迷了路,这时正好有一条大鳄鱼远远的爬了过来,情急之中小壁虎上前一把抱住了鳄鱼的腿,并大声喊妈妈,大鳄鱼老泪纵横:“儿啊,刚炒股三天就瘦成这样儿了 .

我总是喜欢用一种方式来计算生命,并为自己的吃喝玩乐寻找借口:
你在二十岁以前的人生是有记忆的吗?有,你记得你老爸揍你,因为你在做功课时偷偷看漫画。有,你记得老妈在你没考上大学时,挤着明明是苦笑的微笑说,明年再来嘛。有,你去喝了两杯啤酒,被警察逮进派出所,你老爸老妈慌张的赶来为你求情。
对,我的意思是,二十岁以前你几乎是在不知不觉,或为了老爸老妈而活的。当然,也许你是天才,从三岁时就为自己做好人生规画,天才不在我的叙述范围之列。

美国在这种小事上也要卡我们的脖子,非要我们通过他们才能访问国外网。我们在信息技术上如此受制于人吗?那一旦台海开战,中国怎么应对?

1、曾经有个小国到中国来,进贡了三个一模一样的金人,金壁辉煌,把皇帝高兴坏了。可是这小国不厚道,同时出一道题目:这三个金人哪个最有价值?
皇帝想了许多的办法,请来珠宝匠检查,称重量,看做工,都是一模一样的。怎么办?使者还等着回去汇报呢。泱泱大国,不会连这个小事都不懂吧?
最后,有一位退位的老大臣说他有办法。
皇帝将使者请到大殿,老臣胸有成足地拿着三根稻草,插入第一个金人的耳朵里,这稻草从另一边耳朵出来了。第二个金人的稻草从嘴巴里直接掉出来,而第三个金人,稻草进去后掉进了肚子,什么响动也没有。老臣说:第三个金人最有价值!使者默默无语,答案正确。
这个故事告诉我们,最有价值的人,不一定是最能说的人的人。老天给我们两只耳朵一个嘴巴,本来就是让我们多听少说的。善于倾听,才是成熟的人最基本的素质。

An old one, but still worth reading.
Father : I want you to marry a girl of my choice
Son : “I will choose my own bride!”
Father: “But the girl is Bill Gates’s daughter.”
Son : “Well, in that case…ok”
