"Stay Hungry, stay foolish
스티브잡스의 이 명언, 들어보지 않은 사람은 없을 것 같은데요. 이 명언이 나왔던 스티브잡스의 스탠포드 졸업식 연설문을 살펴보고 동기부여가 되는 문장들을 살펴보겠습니다. 스티브잡스의 연설문과 함께 영상 링크도 넣어두었으니 여러번 반복해서 듣는 것을 추천드립니다!
스티브잡스 스탠포드 졸업식 연설문 주요 문장
- "Stay hungry, stay foolish."
안 볼 수 없는 이 문장은 스티브 잡스의 연설문에서 가장 유명한 문장입니다. 항상 새로운 것을 갈망하는 열정과 도전 자세를 유지하는 강한 도전 정신을 강조하는 의미입니다. 주어가 없이 동사원형으로 시작하는 명령문 형태의 문장입니다.
- "The only way to do great work is to love what you do."
위대한 일을 하기 위해서는 자신이 하는 일을 사랑해야 한다는 의미로 자신이 하고 싶은 일을 찾는 것이 중요하다는 것을 강조하고 있는데요. 이 문장에서는 to 부정사가 두 번 사용되었는데요. 명사구인 '유일한 방법(The only way)'를 수식하는 형용사의 역할로 '위대한 일을 하는(to do great work)'이라는 의미의 to 부정사를 사용했습니다.
- "It's almost inevitable that you will fail at some point in your life."
이 문구는 "인생의 어느 지점에서 실패하는 것은 거의 불가피하다"라고 해석할 수 있는데요. 실패 할 수 있다는 것을 인정하고, 두려워하지 말고, 실패로부터 배우는 것이 중요하다는 것을 강조하고 있습니다. 가주어 It 진주어 that 의 문장 형태로 주어인 It 은 that 절 뒤의 내용을 지칭합니다.
- "In life, we often don't know where we are going. But if we keep following our curiosity and intuition, the dots will eventually connect."
"인생에서 우리는 종종 어디로 가고 있는지 모른다"고 해석할 수 있는데요. 인생의 방향을 확신할 수 없더라도, 호기심과 직관을 따라가면 결국에는 원하는 곳으로 갈 수 있다는 의미를 내포하고 있습니다. 스티브잡스의 또 다른 명언, 'connecting the dots'라는 표현이 나오는 구절입니다. 인생에 쓸모없는 우연은 없다는 뜻으로 현재는 점에 불과한 사건들이 의미있는 연결고리를 만나 미래에 생각지도 못한 결과를 가져다 준다는 가르침을 주는 말입니다.

Steve Jobs’ Standford Commencement Address (June 12, 2005)
I am honored to be here with you today at your commencement from one of the finest universities in the world. Truth be told, I never graduated from college. But no one ever told me that I couldn't drop out of college and still succeed.
So I dropped out and started a company with my best friend. It failed, and we lost everything. I was deeply in debt, and I had to sleep on the floor in friends' apartments.
But I had one thing going for me: I loved what I did. And I was good at it.
So I kept at it. And eventually, the company turned around. And we started making a lot of money.
Then I got fired from my company. How can you get fired from your own company? Well, that's a long story. But it taught me an important lesson: Sometimes, even when you are doing the right things, you still fail. And that's okay.
So I started over. And I'm glad I did. Because the second time around, I was running my own company. And this time, we succeeded.
I learned a lot from my experiences. And I want to share some of those lessons with you today.
First, stay hungry, stay foolish.
Remember that 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 your love of life alive.
Second, don't be afraid to fail.
It's almost inevitable that you will fail at some point in your life. But it's important to learn from your failures and keep moving forward.
The only way to do great work is to take risks. And that means sometimes you will fail. But if you never fail, you're never pushing yourself to learn and grow.
So go out and try new things. Don't be afraid to fail. And don't give up on your dreams.
Third, connect the dots.
In life, we often don't know where we are going. But if we keep following our curiosity and intuition, the dots will eventually connect.
I never planned to start a computer company. But I loved technology and I was fascinated by the possibilities of the personal computer. So I started working on it. And eventually, the dots connected.
I didn't know I would fall in love with calligraphy when I was in high school. But it taught me about the importance of design. And that knowledge helped me create the Macintosh.
So keep following your curiosity and intuition. And the dots will eventually connect.
I hope these lessons will help you as you go out into the world and make your own unique mark on it.
Thank you.
