喬布斯的臨終徹悟

Steven Paul Jobs於2011年10月5日逝世，享年56歲。他結婚20年，有三個女兒和一個兒子。他的成就徹底改變了我們所在的世界。他在臨終前，回首往事，說下這段話。

我在商業世界中達到了成功的巔峰。在別人的眼裡，我的生命是成功的縮影。

I reached the pinnicle of success in the business world. In others eyes my life was an epitome of success.

但是，除了工作，我有很少的歡樂…

However… aside from work, I have little joy…

最終，財富只是我生活中已習慣了的現實。

In the end, wealth is only a fact of life that I'm accustomed.

這一刻，躺在病床上，回想起我的一生。我意識到，我所有的認同和財富都令我非常自豪。但面對即將到來的死亡，它們變得毫無意義。

At this moment, lying on the sick bed and recalling my whole life. I realise that , all the recognition and wealth I took so much pride in have paled and become meaningless in the face of inpeading death.

在黑暗中，我看著醫療儀器發出的綠燈，聽到儀器發出的嗡嗡聲。我感覺到死神的呼吸越來越近了。

In the darkness, I look at the green lights from the life supporting machines, and hear the humming mechanical sounds. I can feel the breathe of god of death drawing closer.

現在我知道，當我們一生積累了足夠的財富之後，我們應該追求一些與財富無關的事。

Now I know, when we have accumulated sufficient wealth to last our lifetime. We should pursue other matters that are unrelated to wealth.

應該是更重要的事情：也許是人情；

Should be something that's more important. Perhaps relationships;

也許是藝術；也許是年輕時的夢想。

Perhaps art; Perhaps a dream from younger days.

不斷的追求財富只會使一個人變得扭曲，就像我一樣。

Non-stop pursueing of wealth will only turn a person in to a twisted being. Just like me…

上帝給了我們感官，就是讓我們感受每個人心中的愛，而不是財富帶來的幻想。

God gave us the senses, to let us feel the love in everyones heart. Not the illusions brought out by wealth.

在我生命中贏得的財富，我不能帶著離開。我只能帶著愛情中沉澱的記憶。這是跟著你的真正財富，陪伴你，給你力量和光芒照繼續下去。

The wealth that I've won in my life, I cannot bring with me. What I can bring is only the memories precipitated by love. That's the true riches which will follow you, company you. Giving you strength and light to go on.

愛可以行千里。

Love can travel a thousand miles.

生活是沒有限制的。

Life has no limit.

去你想去的地方，到達你想要的高峰。這一切都在你的心中和手中。

Go where you want to go, reach the height you want to reach. It's all in your heart and in your hands.

世界上最昂貴的床是什麼？

What's the most expensive bed in the world?

病床。

Sick bed.

你可以聘請一個人為你開車，為你賺錢，但你不能聘請一個人為你承受疾病。

You can employ someone to drive the car for you, make money for you, but you cannot have someone to bear the sickness for you.

物質的損失是可以找回的，但是有一樣東西失去了是永遠都不會找回的：

Material things lost can be found, but there is one thing that can be found when It's lost.

生命。

Life.

當一個人走進手術室時，他會意識到有一本書，他還沒有閱讀完。

When a person goes in to the operating room, he will realise that there is one book that he he is yet to finish reading.

健康生活的書。

The book of healthy life.

無論你現在的生活屬於哪個階段，隨著時間的流逝，你將會面對窗簾下降的那天。

Whichever stage in life you are at right now, with time, you will face the day when the curtain comes down.

珍惜愛你的家人，愛你的伴侶，愛你的朋友。

Treasure love for your family, love for your spouse, love for your friends.

善待自己。

Treat yourself well.

善待他人。

Cherish others.
