小乔布斯thomas suarez英语演讲稿ted

hello everyone，my name is thomas suarez. i've always had a fascination for computers and technology, and i made a few apps for the iphone, ipod touch and i平板. i’d like to share a couple with you today; my first step was a unique fortune terror called earth fortune, that explain different codes of earth depending on what your fortune was, my favorite and most successful app is bustin jieber, which is the justin bieber wac more, i created it because a lot of people at school dislike justin bieber a little bit, so i decided to make the app, so i went to work programming it and i really suggest for holidays in 2014.

大家好，我叫托马斯·斯沃斯，我一直以来对计算机技术着迷。我就给iphone、ipod touch、i平板做了一些应用程序，今天我就来给大家展示几个。第一个应用叫做地球算命，它根据你的运势来改变地球的颜色。我最有名、最成功的应用程序是比斯汀.贾伯，它是一个恶搞贾斯汀·比伯程序。这是因为在我的学校里，许多人有点不喜欢贾斯汀·比伯。所以我就开始做了这个应用了，开始编程，并在2014年的暑假推出了我的作品。

a lot of people asked me: how did i make(请关注www.HaoworD.cOM) this, a lot of time just because the person you ask a question wants to make an app also, a lot of kids these days like to play games, but now they want to make them and it’s difficult. because not many kids know where to go to find out how to make a program. i mean for soccer you could go to a soccer team, for violin you could get lessons for violin, but what if you want to make an app and kid’s parents might have done these things when they were young, but not many parents made apps. where would you go to find out how to make an app, while this is how i approached, this is what i did.

许多人问我，我是怎样做出这些东西来的？大多数情况下，问我这个问题的人也想做一个应用程序试试。现在有许多小孩曾喜欢玩游戏，现在他们可以自己创作游戏了，这很难，因为大多数小孩不知道去哪里学编程。我是说，如果你想学足球，你可以加入一个足球队，如果学拉小提琴，你可以去兴趣班。如果想做应用程序，你该怎样办呢？父母一般叫小孩们做一些事，但是呢有多少父母会编程呢？你去哪里可以学到编程呢？以下就是我怎样做到的，这就是我做的。

first of all, i’ve been programming in multiple other programs just get the basics down, such as python, c, java etc. and then apple released the iphone and with the iphone soft developing, and software development kit is a swift tool for creating and programming an iphone app. this opened up a whole new world possibilities for me, and after playing with the soft developing a little bit i made a couple apps and made some test apps, one of them happen to be earth fortune was ready to put fortune on the app store, and so i persuaded my parents to pay the 99-dollar-fee to be able to put my app on the app stock. they agreed and now my apps are on the app store.

首先，我先学了另外的编程，作为基础，例如python、c语言、java编程。不久iPhone公司推出了iphone和iphone软件开发工具包。iphone软件开发工具包是一个给iphone编写应用程序的很好的工具。这给我带来了发现新世界一般的可能性，我在小小地玩了一下iphone软件开发工具包之后，我就做了几个应用，并作了测试，其中之一就是地球算命。我很想把我的地球算命放上iPhone的应用商店，我就说服我父母去支付进入iPhone应用超市所需的99美刀。结果他们同意了，我的应用上线了。

i’ve got a lot interesting encouragement for my family friends teachers and even people of the app store, that’s been a huge chap for me, i’ve got a lot of inspiration from steve jobs, as started the app club at the school and a teacher my school is kindly sponsoring my app club, any students on my school can come and design, learn how to design an app. this is all i can share my experience with others.

我得到了来自我的家庭、朋友、老师，甚至是iPhone应用超市的工作人员的鼓励，他们对我有了很大的影响。我从乔布斯身上得到了许多灵感，我在学校里组建了iPhone俱乐部。老师对我的俱乐部做出了积极地响应。 在我的学校里，每一个人都可以来我的俱乐部里学习怎样编写应用程序。这就是我与他人分享经验的方式。

there are these programs called the i平板 pallid program, and some districts have them. i’m fortunate to be part of one; a big challenge is how should the i平板 be used on what apps shall we put on the i平板s. so we’re getting feedback from teachers at this school to see what kind of apps they like when we design the app and we sell it, it would be free to local districts and other districts we sell to. all the money from that goes to local foundations, these days students usually know a little

bit more than teachers with the technology, so, sorry, this is the resource of the teachers and educators should recognize this resource and make good use of it.

有一种叫i平板pad电脑编程的组织，有些区里有这类的组织，我有幸成为他们当中的一员。我最大的挑战是怎样利用i平板，我们应该给i平板做啥样的程序。我们在学校里向老师做了反馈信息调查，看看他们喜欢啥样的应用程序。在我们设计好后，我们出售那些应用。本地区的用户可以免费获得，别的地区的用户收费。从中的利润会投入到当地基金会中。现在，学生们，在技术方面，通常会比老师们懂得多。如此看来...对不起，这是老师们的资源，教育工作者应该好好认识并利用它。

i’d like to finish up by saying what i like to do in the future. first of all i’d like to create more apps, more games. i’m working with a third party company to make an app. i’d like to get into android programming and development, and i’d like to continue my app club and find other ways for students to share knowledge with others. thank you.

第二篇：从乔布斯演讲看怎样写作英语演讲稿

从乔布斯演讲看怎样写作英语演讲稿

无论在学习还是工作中，我们都会接触或用到各类英语演讲，小到课堂作业和工作汇报，大到会议发言和职位竞选。那么怎样才能打造一篇精彩的英语演讲稿呢？下面苏州英语培训的沃尔得小编就以乔布斯2014年斯坦福大学毕业演讲稿为范本来具体剖析一下英语演讲稿的写作要点，帮助大家了解其基本写作要领。

结构清楚，逻辑清晰

由于公共演讲的听众一般有数十人甚至数百、数千人，再加上演讲环境的不确定性（例如观众的欢呼或者抱怨），演讲者最好在进入主题之后马上给出所讲内容的框架结构，使听众能跟随演讲者的思路，更好地预判整个演讲内容，以达到良好的演讲效果。例如，乔布斯在2014年斯坦福大学毕业典礼上的演讲中，开篇稍微寒暄之后就进入正题：“today i want to tell you three stories from my life. that’s it. no big deal. just three stories.”听众马上能对演讲内容做出预判——今天会听到乔布斯谈三点，然后他们会关注具体是哪三点。这种演讲就具备了“以观众为中心”的特质。乔布斯在随后的演讲中分别提到，“the first story is about connecting the dots.”“my second story is about love and loss.”“my third story is about death.”由于演讲思路非常明晰，听众在听完之后也会记忆犹新。

当然，演讲稿在结构方面的逻辑顺序有许多种，乔布斯的这篇演讲是按照话题顺序和时间顺序来安排的。除此之外，还有空间顺序，“提出问题——分析问题——解决问题”的顺序等。大家可以根据不同演讲内容的需要来安排自己演讲稿的逻辑顺序和整体结构。

开篇出彩，吸引听众

演讲稿的开篇往往需要花费大量的功夫去设计。在写作开篇时，演讲者需要结合听众特点、演讲场合和演讲主题等因素，争取在一开始就紧紧抓住听众的注意力和兴趣。下面苏州英语培训的沃尔得就简介一下基本的演讲开篇模式，供大家以后写作演讲稿参考。

演讲稿开篇的目的是吸引听众。乔布斯在他的演讲稿开篇使用的是“关联话题与听众”的方式。这是一种比较有效的办法，因为人们一般对自己的事情都很关注，和自己相关的事情也会格外留意。乔布斯在演讲开篇说道：“i am 荣耀ed to be with you today for your commencement from one of the finest universities in the world. truth be told, i never graduated from college. and this is the closest i’ve ever gotten to a

college graduation.”高度赞美斯坦福大学——这就是在与听众发生关联。乔布斯就是通过这种方式让听众一开始就对自己产生好感或对自己的演讲内容产生兴趣。当然，乔布斯还用了适当的幽默，更好地融洽了与听众的关系。

除了乔布斯的这种开篇方式外，我们还需要了解和掌握其他一些开篇方式：①指出演讲话题的重要性。例如要做一场关于“英语演讲的艺术”的演讲，演讲者在一开始就可以指出该演讲对于听众今后的学习、工作将会有很大帮助，甚至可以给出一些数据和实例，让听众明白不听这个演讲将会是一个损失，这样听众就会乐于认真听演讲了。②使听众感到震惊。比如要做一场关于“生活方式与疾病”的演讲，开篇就可以给出一组极具冲击力的数据，让听众看到生活方式不健康将会产生多么可怕的后果，这样的震惊能够使听众快速调整状态，投入到听演讲中去。③引起听众的好奇心。演讲者可以在开篇指出一种特别的现象，听众出于好奇就会认真听演讲，想知道演讲者怎样分析或解释。④向观众提问。演讲者可以在开篇提出一个问题，这样可以引发听众的思考，也会引导他们去听演讲者怎样解答问题。此外，也可以在开篇引用一段

名言，或是讲述一个故事等，这些基本的开篇方式被无数的演讲证明是实用而且有效的。

观点明确，支撑有效

毫无疑问，在演讲稿中，主体段的信息量最大，写作量也最大。怎样清晰地阐释演讲者的观点或演讲要点，怎样用相关事实有效地支撑演讲者的各个论点或要点，是演讲稿主体段写作时应该把握的关键。乔布斯在斯坦福大学的毕业演讲中明确给出了三个要点：① the first story is about connecting the dots. ② my second story is about love and loss. ③ my third story is about death.为了清晰、有效地阐述自己想要表达的这三个要点，他运用了以下三种手段：首先是举例子。乔布斯在演讲中用了大量的事例来说明他怎样对待学习、工作和死亡。例如他说自己读书时旁听有意思的书法课程，这些课在当时对他没啥实质帮助，但是呢十年后在当他设计第一款macintosh电脑的时候，这些东西全派上了用场，这个例子充分说明了他演讲的第一个要点——串起生命中的点滴。另一个手段是引用。乔布斯在演讲中引用了一些名言警句来阐述自己的观点。例如在讲到死亡时，他引用了一句格言：“if you live each day as if it was your last, someday you’ll most certainly be right.”这句话表明了他对于生命和死亡的看法，使听众印象深刻。第三个手段是数据支持。在讲第二个故事——关于爱和失去时，乔布斯用了一系列数据来支撑自己的观点。他说自己是幸运的，因为“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’d just released our finest creation—the

macintosh—a year earlier, and i’d just turned 30.”数据很直观，能让听众更直接地认识和理解演讲内容。

结尾有“道”，画龙点睛

演讲的结尾往往需要起到“画龙点睛”的作用，要尽量做到意味深长、启发思考。开篇和正文再好，如果结尾过于平淡，整个演讲的精彩程度也会大打折扣。那么怎样做到结尾有“道”呢？首先我们来看看乔布斯的这篇演讲稿，他的结尾比开篇更加出彩，采用的是“引文结尾”的方式，达到了引人深思的效果。他在结尾说道：“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.”乔布斯不仅在演讲结尾引用了这句“stay hungry. stay foolish”（求知若渴，虚怀若谷），而且重复三遍，强化了听众的印象。这句话后来也被广泛传播，被誉为该篇演讲的精髓。

除了乔布斯这种“引文结尾”的方式，常见的演讲结尾方式还有如下几种：①总结演讲。对演讲中的各个论点或要点进行简单总结和梳理，加深听众的印象。②强有力的陈述。这种方式不同于引用他人之言，往往是演讲者自己的总结和心声。一个非常经典的例子是patrick

henry的演讲“liberty or death”。他在结尾时说道：“is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? forbid it, almighty god! i know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty, or give me death!”③首尾呼应。在演讲结尾对开篇提到的主题和重点进行重新阐述，这是体现演讲内在统一性的经典形式，值得借鉴。

为了更加有效地掌握文中讲到的写作演讲稿的要点，作为苏州商务英语培训的沃尔得建议大家做到以下三点：①多看。多看一些演讲素材，例如名人演讲、演讲比赛优秀选手的演讲等，积累大量的一手素材；也有必要阅读一些关于英语公共演讲的书籍，笔者在此推荐

stephen e. lucas的《演讲的艺术》（the art of public speaking）一书。②多想。学会分析这些演讲之所以精彩的原因，可以从笔者上面讲的几点入手分析。③多练。在有了一定的积累之后，要大量练习写作演讲稿，话题可以从日常学习和工作中选取，这样练习起来会更有兴趣和成就感。

第四篇：乔布斯演讲稿

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.没有人愿意死, 即使人们想上天堂, 人们也不会为了去那里而死。但是呢死亡是我们每一个人共同的终点。从来没有人能够逃脱它。也应该如此。 因为死亡就是生命中最好的一个发明。它将旧的清除以便给新的让路。你们现在是新的, 但是呢从现在开始不久以后, 你们将会逐渐的变成旧的然后被清除。我很抱歉这很戏剧性, 但是呢这十分的真实。

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.

你们的时间很有限, 所以不要将他们浪费在重复其他人的生活上。不要被教条束缚,那意味着你和其他人思考的结果一起生活。不要被其他人喧嚣的观点掩盖你真正的内心的声音。还有最重要的是, 你要有勇气去听从你直觉和心灵的指示——它们在某种程度上知道你想要成为啥样子，所有其他的事情都是次要的。

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 overflowindowsg with neat tools and great notions.

当我年轻的时候, 有一本叫做“整个地球的目录”振聋发聩的杂志，它是我们那一代人的圣经之一。它是一个叫stewart brand的家伙在离这里不远的menlo park书写的, 他象诗一般神奇地将这本书带到了这个世界。那是六十年代后期, 在个人电脑出现之前, 所以这本书全部是用打字机,、剪刀还有偏光镜制造的。有点像用软皮包装的google, 在google出现三十五年之前：这是理想主义的， 其中有许多灵巧的工具和伟大的想法。

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和他的伙伴出版了几期的“整个地球的目录”,当它完成了自己使命的时候, 他们做出了最后一期的目录。那是在七十年代的中期, 你们的时代。在最后一期的封底上是清晨乡村公路的照片（如果你有冒险精神的话，你可以自己找到这条路的），在照片之下有这样一段话：“保持饥饿,保持愚蠢。”这是他们停止了发刊的告别语。“保持饥饿,保持愚蠢。”我总是希望自己能够那样,现在, 在你们即将毕业，开始新的旅程的时候, 我也希望你们能这样： stay hungry. stay foolish.

保持饥饿，保持愚蠢。

thank you all very much.

非常感谢你们。

this program is brought to you by stanford on itunes u at stanford university, please visit us at itunes.stanford.edu.

steve jobs

ceo, apple and pixar animation

thank you.

i’m 荣耀ed to be with you today for your commencement from one of the finest university in the world.

truth to told, i never graduated from college, and 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 six months, but then stay around as a drop-in for another eighteen months also before i really quit. so why did i drop out? it started before i was born. my biological mother was a young unwed 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 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’ve got an unexpected 宝宝 boy. do you want him?” they said, “of course.” my biological mother found out later that my mother had never graduated from college and 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 go to college. this was the start in my life. and seventeen 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 parent’s savings were being spent on my college tuition. after six months i couldn’t see the value in it. i have no idea what i want 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 far more 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 five-cent deposits to buy food with and i would work the seven miles across the 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 followindowsg 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 beautiful hand calligraphed.because i have 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 space fonts, and since windowsdows copied the mac, it’s likely that no personal computer would have them.if i had never dropped out, i would never dropped in on that calligraphy class and personals computer 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 10 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, you gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever, because believing that the dots will connect down the road, will give you the confidence to follow your heart, even when it leads you off the well worn path. and that would make all the difference.

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 twenty.we worked hard and in ten years, apple had grown from just the two of us in a garage in to a $2 billion company with over 4000 employees. we just released our finest creation, he macintosh, a year earlier, and i’d just turned thirty, 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 when 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, and so at thirty, i was out, and very publicly out. what had been the focus of my entire adult life 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 he baton as it was being passed to me. i met with david packard and bob noyce, and tried to apologize for screwindowsg up so badly. i was a very public failure and i even thought about running away 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’d been rejected but i was still in love. and so i decided to start over. i didn’t see that then , but it turned out that getting fired from apple was the best thing that could have ever happened to me. the happiness 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 in 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 became my wife. pixar went on to create the world’s first computer-aninated feature film “ toy story”, and is now the most successful animation studio in the world. in a remarkable turn of events, apple bought next, and i returned to apple, and the technology we developed at next is at the heart of apple’s current renaissance, and lorene and i have a wonderful family together. i am pretty sure none of this world have happened if i hadn’t been fired from apple. it was awful-tasting medicine, but i guess the patient needed it. sometime life’s going to hit you in the head with a brick, don’t lose faith. i’ 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 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 and 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, don’t settle.

my third story is about death. when i was seventeen, 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 thing i’ve ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. because almost everything, all external expectation, all pride, all fear of embarrassment of failure, these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. remembering what 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 shower a tumor 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 doctors’ code for “prepare to die”. it means to try and tell your kids everything you thought you’d have the next ten years to tell them in just a few months. it means to make sure that 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 on endoscope down my throat, through my stomach 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 they viewed the cells under a microscope, the doctor 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 , thankfully , i am fine now. this was the closest i’ve been to facing death, and i hope it’s the closest i get for a few more decades. having lived through it, i can now say this to you with a bit more certainly than when death was a useful but purely 英特尔lectual 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’s life’s change agent, it clear out the old and 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’s 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 others opinions drawn out your owner inner voice. and most important is 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 amazing publication called the whole earth catalogue, which was one of the bibles of my generation. it was created by a fellow named stuart brand not far from here in menlo park, and he brought it to life with his poetic touch, this was in the late sixties, 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, thirty-five years before google came along, it was idealistic, overflowindowsg with neat tools and great motions, stuart and his team put out several issues of the whole earth catalogue, and then when it had run its course, they put out a final issue, it was the mid-seventies, 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. be neath 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 a new, i wish that for you, “stay hungry, stay foolish”.

thank you all, very much.
