So you must believe that those points will be connected in some way in your future life.

I lost badly and wanted to escape from Silicon Valley. But something is slowly waking me up: I still love my industry. This failure has not changed this at all. I was kicked out, but I still love my career. I decided to start over.

If you live every day as if it were your last, one day you will find that you are right.

The second and third paragraphs:

I'm pretty sure that none of this would have happened if I hadn't been fired from Apple. This medicine tastes terrible, but I think the patient needs it. Sometimes, life will give you a head-on blow. Don't lose heart. I am sure that the only thing that keeps me going is my love for my job. You must find what you love, whether for your job or for your lover. Work will take up a large part of your life. You just keep looking and don't stop. Look for it wholeheartedly, and you will know when you find it. Like any sincere relationship, with the passage of time, it will only get closer and closer. So keep looking and don't stop.

This is my closest to death, and I hope it will be my closest to death in the next few decades. This narrow escape has made me tell you more confidently than before when I only knew that death was a useful pure word concept. No one wants to die, even those who want to go to heaven don't want to achieve their goals through death. But death is everyone's destination, and no one can escape. It should be, because death may be the best invention of life. It's for Chen Rangxin. Now, you are new. But one day, not too long, you will get old and die. Sorry, it's dramatic, but it's true. Your time is limited, don't waste it on repeating other people's lives. Don't be bound by dogma, which means living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let other people's noisy opinions drown out your true inner voice. Your intuition and heart know what you want to be. Everything else is secondary.

When I was young, I had a good magazine called Complete Earth Catalogue, which was one of the bibles of our generation. It was founded by a man named Stuart Bran, who lives in Monroe Park not far from here. He brought this magazine into the world with poetry. It was in the late sixties, before personal computers appeared, so this magazine was made entirely of typewriters, scissors and polarizers. It's a bit like the soft version of Google, but it's thirty-five years earlier. It is idealistic, full of clever tools and great ideas. Stuart and his team published several issues of the Complete Earth Catalogue, and before completing their mission, they published the last issue. It was in the mid-1970s, and I was about your age. The back cover of the last issue is a photo of a country road in the early morning. If you are adventurous, you can find this road by yourself. There is a saying below called "Stay hungry and stay stupid". This is their farewell speech, "Stay hungry and stay stupid". I often use this to encourage myself. Now, when you are about to embark on a new journey, I hope you can do the same. Stay hungry, stay stupid.
