當我年輕的時候, 有一本叫做“整個地球的目錄”振聾發聵的雜誌，它是我們那一代人的聖經之一。它是一個叫stewart brand的傢伙在離這裡不遠的menlo park書寫的, 他象詩一般神奇地將這本書帶到了這個世界。那是六十年代後期, 在個人電腦出現之前, 所以這本書全部是用打字機,、剪刀還有偏光鏡製造的。有點像用軟皮包裝的google, 在google出現三十五年之前：這是理想主義的， 其中有許多靈巧的工具和偉大的想法。
stewart and his team put out several issues of the whole earth catalog, 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 hitchhiking 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.
stewart和他的夥伴出版了幾期的“整個地球的目錄”,當它完成了自己使命的時候, 他們做出了最後一期的目錄。那是在七十年代的中期, 你們的時代。在最後一期的封底上是清晨鄉村公路的照片（如果你有冒險精神的話，你可以自己找到這條路的），在照片之下有這樣一段話：“保持飢餓,保持愚蠢。”這是他們停止了發刊的告別語。“保持飢餓,保持愚蠢。”我總是希望自己能夠那樣,現在, 在你們即將畢業，開始新的旅程的時候, 我也希望你們能這樣：
stay hungry. stay foolish.
保持飢餓，保持愚蠢。
thank you all very much.
非常感謝你們
