What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever received?
年輕的時候,讀過費曼的兩本自傳。
那時候覺得最有力量的一句話,就是 「What do you care what other people think?」。
不需要在意別人的眼光,勇敢做自己想做的事。這句話,帶給我很多衝勁與自由感。
When I was young, I read two autobiographies by Richard Feynman.
The line that struck me most was: “What do you care what other people think?”
It taught me not to care too much about others’ opinions, and to do what I truly wanted. That gave me both courage and freedom.
後來,讀了賈伯斯的自傳。
那個時期最常放在心裡的,是 「Stay hungry, stay foolish.」。
提醒自己要保持飢渴、保持天真,不要因為安穩而失去探索的心。那是一種推著自己往前走的力量。
Later, I read Steve Jobs’ biography.
The words I carried with me then were: “Stay hungry, stay foolish.”
They reminded me to stay curious and to keep exploring, without being trapped by comfort. It was the force that kept me moving forward.
直到現在,經過了時間的沉澱。
我慢慢發現,最適合自己的格言,其實更簡單。
就是 「心存善念,盡力而為。」
帶著善意去生活,帶著努力去行動。至於結果,就交給時間。
And now, after all these years, my motto has become much simpler.
It is just: “Keep kindness in your heart, and do your best.”
Live with kindness, act with effort, and leave the rest to time.
