以下為於2005年史丹佛大學畢業典禮演說的節錄內容:
I'm convinced that the onlything that kept me going was that I loved what I dAnd the only way to do great work is to love what you do.
你的工作將佔掉你人生的一大部分,唯一真正獲得滿足的方法就是做你相信是偉大的工作,你得找出你的最愛,工作上是如此,人生伴侶也是如此,而唯一做偉大工作的方法是愛你所做的事!
如果你還沒有發現,繼續努力尋找,不要停下來,你知道你終將會找到所有事情的核心,就如何任何一個良好的關係,只會隨著光陰的流逝越變越好,所以請繼續尋找,不要停下來。
If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you'll most certainly be right.
如果你把每一天都當成是你人生的最後一天,總有一天你會做對。
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.
