When I was young, there was an amazing publication called The Whole Earth Catalogue, which was one of the bibles of my generation. It was created by Stuart Brand and he brought it to life with his poetic touch. It was idealistic, overflowing with great notions. Stuart and his team put out several issues, and then when it had run its course, they put out a final issue. It was the mid-1970s and I was your age. On the back cover of their final issue was a photograph of an early morning country road, the kind you might find yourself hitch-hiking on if you were so adventurous. Beneath it were the words, "Stay hungry, stay foolish." It was their farewell message as they signed off. "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.

我年轻时,有一本叫做《全球目录》的精彩出版物,它是我们那一代人的圣经之一。它是由斯图尔特·布兰德创作的,他用诗意的笔触使这本刊物充满活力。这是理想主义的刊物,伟大的想法充溢其间。斯图尔特和他的团队出版了几期,当它完成了自己使命的时候,他们发行了最后一期。那是七十年代中期,我正是你们现在的年纪。在最后一期的封底上是一张清晨乡村公路的照片(如果你有冒险精神的话,可能曾在这种路上搭过顺风车),在照片底下有这样一句话:“求知若饥,虚怀若愚。”这是他们停刊前的告别语。“求知若饥,虚怀若愚。”我总是希望自己能够如此。现在,在你们即将毕业、开始新的旅程之际,我也希望你们能这样:求知若饥,虚怀若愚。
Thank you all very much.
