有人講冷笑話啦...

好冷喔

不好笑...


胖的那應該是脂肪細胞

肥胖細胞大部分存在生體的黏膜組織裡
肥胖細胞(Mast Cell)與IGE作用產生組織胺
組織胺也是造成過敏的原因...

RT大大一定都知道...別再裝蒜啦

對喔 會講冷笑話啦 看來應該有好點了


如有錯誤請指證

生物已經是好久以前的東西啦

不過看起來
小弟覺得RT大大您的故事不會比賈柏差到哪去....
還是十分精彩... 充滿人生智慧喔
賈柏的精神確實很令人激賞...
不過倒是問題應該在這：
You've got to find what you love

如何才能找到真正自己所愛的呢？
這可是問題所在 也是最大的問題啊

小弟100%相信，如果您真的能找到您所愛，或許您就成功了一半，甚至可以說幾乎成功了，但是究竟要怎樣去探索自己所愛的東西？可是一門很深的學問，找到了，或許需要花費的精力與時間可能無法估計，有人會說：擇期所愛，愛其所擇。對啊，但是前提還是再要先有擇期所愛，所以問題會停在，如何確定這就是你要的，你會愛的？獲許人生中有很多的選擇，每天都在選擇，很多的東西都要選擇，但是，往往就是這樣的情況，太多的選擇卻使得我們無所適從，有的時候甚至會希望，沒有太多選擇才好咧，真是矛盾的現象。
況且，台灣的教育體制下的小孩，幾乎沒有選擇權，也不會選擇，因為環境不會給他們選擇的機會，除非有意外的情況（像是RT大大這樣的人生故事 )，否則99％的人順著教育體制下來，被訓練到最後就是沒有選擇...，不會選擇，甚至念大學也不會選擇，到最後，才發現要真的要選擇，反而變得不知道如何是好... ，然後就會停留在不停地選擇中，無線迴圈？然後在放棄的過程中，你也可能會被貼上標籤，一次兩次後就會變成明顯的次級標籤，對你的刻板印象就會變成『你是一個不耐操的人，遇到問題就會放棄，就會想要逃避...』，發現不是所愛的，然後想要改變，這兩件事應該有很大前因後果及關聯性吧？

或許樂觀的人也會跳出來說：你是過了這一個，發現他不是你想要的，或許你花了不少時間，但是至少你可以說：或許我還不知道我要的是什麼，但是至少少了一個選擇，因為我已經這不是我要的，這樣的想法，正面的來說很樂觀，很有建設性，但是從另外一個比較批判或嚴厲的角度來看，有些自欺欺人，因為畢竟是一個『錯』；再美麗的錯誤畢竟還是錯誤，然後就會有事後諸葛的心態，早知如此，何必當初？這樣的心理情節出現，我想找到真你真的愛的，很重要，但是好像沒有辦法認定，因為過渡主觀....。

所以賈柏的故事，道出了一個重點，但是這樣的重點『You've got to find what you love』，但是這似乎不是很具體或具有建設性吧，當然他的演說還有其他議題可以拿出來分析或討論，不過就這議題來說，或許可能這問題的答案絕對是因人而異，無法有具體的方式去執行，不過確實是個難題，或許回到最原始的問題核心就是要問的是：『你認識你自己嗎？！你知道你是誰嗎？』

寫了很多，可以歸納為以下問題：

01.您如何尋找到自己真正喜歡的東西？有方法可依循嗎？
02.要怎要可以確定，這就是您要的？您不會去想可能以其他的會更好？
03.如果真的發現不對了，要怎樣自處才會有嚴重的認知失調？要怎樣去合理化這的『錯誤』？

對不起，今天忽然啐啐念
有人對這樣想法或言論有怎樣的意見嗎。歡迎討論討論...

賈柏的演講小弟還是真的很棒，裡面還是有很多東西可以研究，有些人生的態度與思考方式，跟我們的RT大大有類似喔.. ，還是推薦，有空可以看看那篇講稿，推薦讚喔

來個英文版的....

'You've got to find what you love

Stanford Report, June 14, 2005
'You've got to find what you love,' Jobs says


This is the text of the Commencement address by Steve Jobs, CEO of Apple Computer and of Pixar Animation Studios, delivered on June 12, 2005.

I am honored to be with you today at your commencement from one of the finest universities in the world. I never graduated from college. Truth be told, this is the closest I've ever gotten to a college graduation. Today I want to tell you three stories from my life. That's it. No big deal. Just three stories.

The first story is about connecting the dots.

I dropped out of Reed College after the first 6 months, but then stayed around as a drop-in for another 18 months or so before I really quit. So why did I drop out?

It started before I was born. My biological mother was a young, unwed college graduate student, and she decided to put me up for adoption. She felt very strongly that I should be adopted by college graduates, so everything was all set for me to be adopted at birth by a lawyer and his wife. Except that when I popped out they decided at the last minute that they really wanted a girl. So my parents, who were on a waiting list, got a call in the middle of the night asking: "We have an unexpected baby boy; do you want him?" They said: "Of course." My biological mother later found out that my mother had never graduated from college and that my father had never graduated from high school. She refused to sign the final adoption papers. She only relented a few months later when my parents promised that I would someday go to college.

And 17 years later I did go to college. But I naively chose a college that was almost as expensive as Stanford, and all of my working-class parents' savings were being spent on my college tuition. After six months, I couldn't see the value in it. I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life and no idea how college was going to help me figure it out. And here I was spending all of the money my parents had saved their entire life. So I decided to drop out and trust that it would all work out OK. It was pretty scary at the time, but looking back it was one of the best decisions I ever made. The minute I dropped out I could stop taking the required classes that didn't interest me, and begin dropping in on the ones that looked interesting.

It wasn't all romantic. I didn't have a dorm room, so I slept on the floor in friends' rooms, I returned coke bottles for the 5¢ deposits to buy food with, and I would walk the 7 miles across town every Sunday night to get one good meal a week at the Hare Krishna temple. I loved it. And much of what I stumbled into by following my curiosity and intuition turned out to be priceless later on. Let me give you one example:

Reed College at that time offered perhaps the best calligraphy instruction in the country. Throughout the campus every poster, every label on every drawer, was beautifully hand calligraphed. Because I had dropped out and didn't have to take the normal classes, I decided to take a calligraphy class to learn how to do this. I learned about serif and san serif typefaces, about varying the amount of space between different letter combinations, about what makes great typography great. It was beautiful, historical, artistically subtle in a way that science can't capture, and I found it fascinating.

None of this had even a hope of any practical application in my life. But ten years later, when we were designing the first Macintosh computer, it all came back to me. And we designed it all into the Mac. It was the first computer with beautiful typography. If I had never dropped in on that single course in college, the Mac would have never had multiple typefaces or proportionally spaced fonts. And since Windows just copied the Mac, its likely that no personal computer would have them. If I had never dropped out, I would have never dropped in on this calligraphy class, and personal computers might not have the wonderful typography that they do. Of course it was impossible to connect the dots looking forward when I was in college. But it was very, very clear looking backwards ten years later.

Again, you can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something - your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life.

My second story is about love and loss.

I was lucky – I found what I loved to do early in life. Woz and I started Apple in my parents garage when I was 20. We worked hard, and in 10 years Apple had grown from just the two of us in a garage into a $2 billion company with over 4000 employees. We had just released our finest creation - the Macintosh - a year earlier, and I had just turned 30. And then I got fired. How can you get fired from a company you started? Well, as Apple grew we hired someone who I thought was very talented to run the company with me, and for the first year or so things went well. But then our visions of the future began to diverge and eventually we had a falling out. When we did, our Board of Directors sided with him. So at 30 I was out. And very publicly out. What had been the focus of my entire adult life was gone, and it was devastating.

I really didn't know what to do for a few months. I felt that I had let the previous generation of entrepreneurs down - that I had dropped the baton as it was being passed to me. I met with David Packard and Bob Noyce and tried to apologize for screwing up so badly. I was a very public failure, and I even thought about running away from the valley. But something slowly began to dawn on me – I still loved what I did. The turn of events at Apple had not changed that one bit. I had been rejected, but I was still in love. And so I decided to start over.

I didn't see it then, but it turned out that getting fired from Apple was the best thing that could have ever happened to me. The heaviness of being successful was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner again, less sure about everything. It freed me to enter one of the most creative periods of my life.

During the next five years, I started a company named NeXT, another company named Pixar, and fell in love with an amazing woman who would become my wife. Pixar went on to create the worlds first computer animated feature film, Toy Story, and is now the most successful animation studio in the world. In a remarkable turn of events, Apple bought NeXT, I retuned to Apple, and the technology we developed at NeXT is at the heart of Apple's current renaissance. And Laurene and I have a wonderful family together.

I'm pretty sure none of this would have happened if I hadn't been fired from Apple. It was awful tasting medicine, but I guess the patient needed it. Sometimes life hits you in the head with a brick. Don't lose faith. I'm convinced that the only thing that kept me going was that I loved what I did. You've got to find what you love. And that is as true for your work as it is for your lovers. Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it. And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking until you find it. Don't settle.

My third story is about death.

When I was 17, I read a quote that went something like: "If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you'll most certainly be right." It made an impression on me, and since then, for the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: "If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?" And whenever the answer has been "No" for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something.

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. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.

About a year ago I was diagnosed with cancer. I had a scan at 7:30 in the morning, and it clearly showed a tumor on my pancreas. I didn't even know what a pancreas was. The doctors told me this was almost certainly a type of cancer that is incurable, and that I should expect to live no longer than three to six months. My doctor advised me to go home and get my affairs in order, which is doctor's code for prepare to die. It means to try to tell your kids everything you thought you'd have the next 10 years to tell them in just a few months. It means to make sure everything is buttoned up so that it will be as easy as possible for your family. It means to say your goodbyes.

I lived with that diagnosis all day. Later that evening I had a biopsy, where they stuck an endoscope down my throat, through my stomach and into my intestines, put a needle into my pancreas and got a few cells from the tumor. I was sedated, but my wife, who was there, told me that when they viewed the cells under a microscope the doctors started crying because it turned out to be a very rare form of pancreatic cancer that is curable with surgery. I had the surgery and I'm fine now.

This was the closest I've been to facing death, and I hope its the closest I get for a few more decades. Having lived through it, I can now say this to you with a bit more certainty than when death was a useful but purely intellectual concept:

No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don't want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life's change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new. Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic, but it is quite true.

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.

When I was young, there was an amazing publication called The Whole Earth Catalog, which was one of the bibles of my generation. It was created by a fellow named Stewart Brand not far from here in Menlo Park, and he brought it to life with his poetic touch. This was in the late 1960's, before personal computers and desktop publishing, so it was all made with typewriters, scissors, and polaroid cameras. It was sort of like Google in paperback form, 35 years before Google came along: it was idealistic, and overflowing with neat tools and great notions.

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.

Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish.

Thank you all very much.

對不起, 拖太久了.....

前情提要:
==================================================
被學校開除, 當兵去了, 電腦兵閒閒沒事做, 在PC Magazine上面寫稿, 寫著寫著, 還不知好歹的, 跟高手筆戰起來..........
==================================================



當完兵, 準備找工作了.

其實, 我從退伍後的第一個工作開始, 就幾乎都是在熟人的公司內工作, 我幾乎沒有去陌生公司面試, 錄用, 試用, 晉升的經驗. 怎麼會這樣? 從本篇開始, 我們來回顧脫離學校以後的社會工作經驗.

時間還是要回到學生時代, 我那時就有訂閱國外期刊雜誌的習慣. 國外雜誌的****服務做得很好, 每期最後都有一張回函表, 而每一篇廣告的角落, 會有個編號, 讀者只要在回函表上, 勾選相對應的號碼, 再將回函表寄回雜誌社, 社方會將你的資料轉給****主, ****主就會根據當期刊登的****產品, 跟你聯繫. 當時還沒有Web這種東西, 雖然有初級的網路, 但只能傳送文字. 所以, 通常****主聯繫的方式, 就是將型錄寄給你; 要不然, 就是將你的資料, 轉給當地的代理商.

我對很多產品都很有興趣, 很多國外原廠也都知道我在收集產品資料. 學生後期踏入電腦繪圖領域之後, 也轉向相關的產品. 但我卻發現, 每次去要此類產品的資料時, 最後都是由台灣一家TF公司來跟我聯繫. 後來我才知道, 原來這家公司代理了大量的電腦繪圖產品, 幾乎是台灣的龍頭地位, 甚至連電視台, 軍方, 或醫療使用的繪圖及影像設備, 也都在他們手上.

有趣的是, 引導我第一次接觸繪圖的那家FS日商, 跟這家TF公司在某些市場上有競爭關係, 當時TF為了瞭解FS, 就派人來學習FS的產品. 於是我們就在這樣的機緣下認識了TF的老闆, 而TF也恍然大悟, 原來一天到晚從國外來跟他們要產品型錄的怪人, 就是我這號人物.(說我怪, 是因為我只會要型錄, 從來不買產品; 哪有這種客戶啊?…. )

退伍後, 閒閒沒事, 也還沒想到要做什麼樣的工作. 有天跑去TF閒聊, 老闆知道我剛退伍, 馬上就邀我來上班. 我也沒多想, 就這樣答應了. 所以, 我沒花什麼力氣就找到工作.

TF公司是個怪人大集合, 每一個人都是駭客級的, 大老闆學界出身, 專精研究, 擅長將研究成果商品化. 二老闆主管財務, 江湖味很重, 公家機關招標圍事非他出馬不可; 三老闆帶領其他員工, 拜訪客戶, 擅長替客戶規劃. 底下有人專門寫程式, 而且是那種奇怪的程式; 例如: 原廠的驅動程式沒寫好, 自己就改一個Patch出來修正; 或是原廠軟體缺少什麼功能, 他可以在沒有任何原始碼的情形下, 自己寫一個補上去. 另外一位則是硬體奇才, 可以根據客戶的需求, 將市售電腦修改成特殊的規格. 這是個不到10人的公司, 但每年卻可以創造上億的營業額....

由於有這樣的人才在公司裡, 所以TF在外接客戶是無往不利, 他們開出來的規格, 別人想要搶標都很難, 所以很受公家機關的歡迎, 尤其像中科院, 軍情局這種軍方單位特別喜歡, 因為可以省掉別人搶標的麻煩, 還可以避免政風單位動不動就質疑價格合理性, 反正那種規格別人都做不出來, 也無從比價.

我進去以後, 主要是負責系統整合工作, 因為我看過的產品規格很多, 當客戶需求開出來時, 從我腦中可以很快浮現出適用或是近似的規格, 再朝這幾個方向去找解決方案, 由他們動手來修改, 速度上比他們自己整天埋頭苦思要快很多.

那時薪水不高, 只有三萬元而已.

還記得學生時代有一次學校要我們交作文, 題目是:「我的志願」. 當時我已經專四左右了, 對工作有些經驗, 所以寫起志願來, 沒有其他人的天馬行空, 而是很明確的給自己定了一個目標:「30歲以前, 月入6萬」. 所以, 退伍後拿3萬元的薪水, 我並不知道市場行情如何, 只是給自己一個鼓勵:「嗯~~不錯喔! 一開始就達成目標的一半了!」.

諺語說: 好的開始, 是成功的一半; 那我已經成功一半了, 應該算是個好的開始吧? (迷之音: 有這種邏輯嗎?....... )

不料, 做了一年左右, 我開始對這樣的工作倦怠了, 感覺自己沒有在進步, 或許我太年輕, 也不習慣跟別人協商工作, 或是在工作方面有所妥協, 所以挫折感漸漸產生, 就覺得好像在這裡, 找不到工作的樂趣了.

先前的藝專美眉, 有一位已經進了FS公司兩年, 此時正好公司缺人, 有一位軟體部的主管要移民去加拿大, 沒有人接手. 美眉跑來找我, 問我的意願. 由於我原本就跟FS很熟, 而且當時FS的規模還不小, 門面又比較好看(FS在國貿大樓內, TF則是諉身在光復南路的老舊住宅大樓中), 對當時的我來說, 當然覺得能有機會去FS, 不管那邊工作如何, 心理上總是會比較喜歡公司吧? 於是跟TF老闆說抱歉, 隔月就去了FS上班.

雖然我沒有跟TF三老闆明說我的去處, 但他可能猜到幾分, 基於競爭的立場, 曾私下勸我可否不要去FS上班? 我當時也沒有明確回覆, 只說我會考慮. 現在想起來, 當然覺得對TF很過意不去; 所幸後來我去了FS之後, 在市場上沒有對TF造成太大的衝擊. 到現在, 我還多次回TF去探望他們, 他們也都非常歡迎我回去.

進了FS之後, 工作上沒有什麼問題, 在軟體方面我領先部門同仁許多, 所以沒有遇到什麼管理上的困難. 但是在這裡, 我卻第一次遇到自己不喜歡的老闆. FS老闆跟日本的淵源很深, 本身就是築波大學畢業的, 在日本超過十年時間, 受到當地文化的影響很大. 在他的領導下, FS內部的文化跟日商很接近, 但是也將日本人那種上班不要命, 加班不回家的精神給帶進來了, 給我一種很「不人性」的感覺.

在幾次會議裡, 曾經對公司的技術方面提出一些建議, 老闆基於營運上的考量都否決了. 那時心裡的想法只覺得: 這樣的老闆太沒有Sense了, 不把技術的根底打好, 員工怎麼有好的工具跟產品去應付客戶呢?

當然, 這樣的想法, 現在看起來, 是很幼稚的. 若是把我換到當年的老闆位置上, 說不定我也會做出同樣的決定. 我果然沒有什麼社會經驗, 也沒有商業營運的經驗, 別人看得起我, 純粹是因為我在技術專業領域的表現而已. 雖然已經有不少工作經驗, 但在商業方面, 還是個小學生.

對公司的不滿, 其實存在每個員工心中, 只是大家沒有說出來. 後來公司在內湖買下新的辦公室(那時明水路剛剛開通), 偏偏遇上業務推展不利, 現金週轉方面有些問題, 於是老闆就更加的緊縮資源, 更加搾取員工的精力與時間, 試圖平衡公司的營運.

在這樣的改變下, 員工積蓄的不滿, 開始爆發出來了. 但是大家還是對老闆很敬畏, 所以這些抱怨並沒有往上發展, 反而是在同事之間開始擴散流傳. 幾個月之後, 同事之間漸漸形成了一種「同仇敵愾」的氣氛, 失去了對公司的向心力.

當時公司雖然在賣產品, 但是大部分客戶也會委託公司製作多媒體內容, 而公司一直將內容製作的功能, 視為一種產品的附加價值, 通常被拿來贈送, 而不是獨立的營收服務. 這種作法, 讓負責製作內容的團隊, 感覺到自己在公司內的價值被貶低了, 相對的對公司的抱怨也比較深切.

那時候, 也不知到怎麼回事, 我似乎天生就很容易被人家給推到檯面上去, 又可能家父的事業還算成功, 所以幾位好同事之間, 開始逐漸醞釀一種想法:「自己出去開公司吧!」, 大家不斷的遊說我. 因為我們都很熟悉市場, 知道客戶在哪裡, 加上大家對自己的各種專業能力都很算有把握, 也跟客戶很熟, 如果自己開公司, 以市場狀況, 應該會有接不完的案子, 足以養活這群人吧?



這個想法, 後來付諸實行, 但卻讓我學到一次慘痛的教訓!! 人生從此改變…..




(迷之音: 你早就一直在變了, 還能怎麼變啊?........ )

終於交卷了... 辛苦了
看來大大好很多了...
這樣也放心多了...

按照前面的故事劇情摘要....
應該可以猜到後面的東西一點點啦
不過還是想看看過程怎樣...

看吧 不比賈伯的差啊

哈哈哈~~~可是, 我怎麼看到您冷起來, 就覺得很好笑啊?...奇怪, 我真是變態.....

真的是壓力太大了, 反應開始阿達起來.....

喔喔喔喔~~~~出稿了耶~~^^
真是人生如戲阿....
