喬布斯名言英文版

　　don't equate making mistakes with being a mistake. there is no such thing as a successful person who has not failed or made mistakes, there are successful people who made mistakes and changed their lives or performance in response to them, and so got it right the next time. they viewed mistakes as warnings rather than signs of hopeless inadequacy. never making a mistake means never living life to the full.

　　范錯誤不等于錯誤。從來沒有哪個成功的人沒有失敗過或者犯過錯誤，相反，成功的人都是犯了錯誤之后，做出改正，然后下次就不會再錯了，他們把錯誤當成一個警告而不是萬劫不復的失敗。從不犯錯意味著從來沒有真正活過。

　　8. i would trade all of my technology for an afternoon with socrates.

　　我愿意用我所有的科技去換取和蘇格拉底相處的一個下午。

　　over the last decade, numerous books featuring lessons from historical figures have appeared on the shelves of bookstores around the world. and socrates stands with leonardo da vinci, nicholas copernicus, charles darwin and albert einstein as a beacon of inspiration for independent thinkers. but he came first. cicero said of socrates that, "he called philosophy down from the skies and into the lives of men." so use socrates' principles in your life, your work, your learning, and your relationships. it's not about socrates, it's really about you, and how you can bring more truth, beauty and goodness into your life everyday.

　　十幾年來，世界各地的書店里涌現出海量的關于歷史人物的書籍。這些人物包括蘇格拉底、達芬奇、哥白尼、達爾文以及愛因斯坦，他們被稱為人們靈感的燈塔，而蘇格拉底排在第一位。西塞羅評價蘇格拉底說：“他把哲學從高高在上的學科變得與人休戚相關。”把蘇格拉底的原則運用到你的生活、工作、學習以及人及關系上吧，這不是關于蘇格拉底，這是關于你自己，以及關于你如何給你每天的生活帶來更多的真善美。

　　9. we're here to put a dent in the universe. otherwise why else even be here?

　　活著就是為了改變世界，難道還有其他原因嗎？

　　did you know that you have big things to accomplish in life? and did you know that those big things are getting rather dusty while you pour yourself another cup of coffee, and decide to mull things over rather than do them? we were all born with a gift to give in life, one which informs all of our desires, interests, passions and curiosities. this gift is, in fact, our purpose. and you don't need permission to decide your own purpose. no boss, teacher, parent, priest or other authority can decide this for you. just find that unique purpose.

　　你是否知道在你的生命中，有什么使命是一定要達成的？你知不知道在你喝一杯咖啡或者做些無意義事情的時候，這些使命又蒙上了一層灰塵？我們生來就隨身帶著一件東西，這件東西指示著我們的渴望、興趣、熱情以及好奇心，這就是使命。你不需要任何權威來評斷你的使命，沒有任何老板、老師、父母、牧師以及任何權威可以幫你來決定。你需要靠你自己來尋找這個獨特的使命。

　　10. 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.
