영어 공부도 할겸, 요즘 나의 의욕상실과 태만을 치료할겸 이번주말에 이놈을 정독하는걸 목표로 해야겠다.


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 returned 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 others' 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.

English Presentation을 수강하며 5개의 단락으로 구성된 Essay를 지금까지 두 번을 써서 검사를 맡았다. 자랑이라면 자랑이겠지만, 검사를 맡으며 지적당한 것 중에 문장의 구성이나 흐름이 이상하다거나, 문장을 표현할 때 단어를 잘못 선택했다거나 등의 오류는 거의 지적당하지 않은 것 같다. 주로 관사나, 단수복수의 오류만 몇개 지적당했는데, 그런 것을 틀렸다고 해서 외국사람이 의미를 잘못 이해한다거나, 이해하지 못한다고 생각하지는 않는다.
Sean선생님이 내가 쓴 에세이를 훑어보더니 관사 빼먹은 것, 단수 복수 일치하지 않는 것 3~4개 정도 고쳐주더니 excellent! 라고 칭찬했을 때 나름 보람을 느꼈다 -_-ㅋㅋ

애초에 에세이를 쓸 때, 관사나 단수 복수 표현 혹은 시제의 일치에도 물론 신경을 쓴다고 썼지만 내가 가장 신경을 쓴 부분은 자연스러운 표현이었다. 다시말해 단순히 우리말을 직역하여 영어로 써서 원어민이 당최 무슨 말인지 이해할 수 없는 그런 문장을 쓰지 않는 것을 목표로 삼았다. 그게 확실히 효과를 본 것 같다.

그리고 동사를 쓸 때, 단순히 동사 하나만 쓰는 것이 아니라, 동사 + 명사의 표현을 많이 쓰려고 노력하였다. 실제로 예전에 어디선가 동사 + 명사의 표현이 동사1개로 표현하는 것보다 훨씬 자연스러운 표현이라고 들은적이 있기 때문이다. 예를들어 decide대신 make a decision을 쓴다거나, look대신에 take a look 것 말이다.

그리고 어려운 단어보다는 예문 검색을 통해 가장 많이 쓰이면서도 쉬운 단어를 많이 쓰려고 하였다. 이유는 간단하다. 왜냐? 내 어휘실력이 아주 보잘 것 없고, 어려운 단어가 많이 들어가면 나중에 외워서 발표할 때 막힐지도 모른다는 생각때문이었다. Speech를 평가할 때, Body Language, Volume, Eye Contact, Pitch(Intonation)를 잘해야 하는데, 이걸 하려면 당근 Essay를 줄줄이 외우는 것은 기본인데, 사실 외우는게 제일 힘들다. 고로 외우기 쉬우면서도 어색하지 않는 표현을 쓰려고 하였다.

두 번째 Essay 그리고 발표가 끝났다. 마지막 까지 별 탈없이 잘 해야 될텐데..

Can you imagine that teachers and students speak only in English in all classes in Korean public school? I object to the plan ‘English-only classes in public schools’ because not all Koreans need to speak English fluently, the plan will bring about the jump of private education expenses, and besides it will weaken our national consciousness and pride as Koreans.

How many jobs are there which require the ability of speaking English here in Korea? For example, does a bus driver need to speak English when he's working in a bus? How about an engineer? It's enough to read English books or have a simple conversation ability. I think it's more effective to teach some students concentratedly who really need to speak English very fluently than to teach all students. The president and new government should take cognizance of the concept about selection and concentration.

What would happen if 'English-only classes in public schools' comes true? The answer is obvious. Students would have to hear and speak English well in order to understand what a teacher teaches in English, and parents would spend more money on their children's private education. This is not a hypothesis but a reality in Malaysia in which the plan has been working since 2002 and parents suffer from high expanses on private education.

Korean is the one of the most advanced languages in the world which many linguists demonstrate the superiority. In other words, we must be aware of the rights and obligations to take pride in our language, Korean. In addition, a language is an important factor that reflects our thoughts and culture and if the plan comes into reality, young and naive students would probably lose their national consciousness. The government should know that a language is the one of the strongest defense systems that keeps us from losing our identity.

I'm not saying English is not important in Korea. However, What I'm saying is that the plan of 'English only classes in public schools' lacks planning and consideration. My opinion is that we should select and concentrate on people who really have to speak English, the plan would not solve the high education expenses problem but make it worse, and Korean is such an important weapon and shield in the culture war that we have to protect it. The government should think deeply and reconsider this ironic and stupid plan.

영어 프리젠테이션에서 발표할 것. 일단 5개의 paragraph로 된 글을 쓰고, 원어민 선생님한테 보여주고 검사받고 다음주 목요일날 싸그리 외워서 발표를 해야한다.

원어민 선생님이 제시한 에세이 스타일은 다음과 같다.

• 자신에게 중요하거나, 의미가 있는 물건을 사람들에게 show and tell 방식으로 presentation할 것.
• 5개의 문단(Paragraph)로 하여 Intruduction(1), Body(3), Conclusion(1) 로 구성할 것.
• Introduction의 첫 번째 문장은 Attention Grabber(or Motivator)로 할 것
• Intruduction에는 반드시 thesis(주제문)과 그를 뒷받침하는 3개의 outline문장으로 구성될 것.
• 3개의 outline 문장은 3개의 body paragraph와 연관이 되어야함. 즉 각각의 paragraph와 연계가 되어야 함.
• 가급적이면 emotional한 단어나 표현을 많이 구사할 것.
• 문단과 문단, 문장과 문장의 연결 흐름(transition)을 부드럽게 할 것
• concluding paragraph에는 thesis를 재강조하고, 3개의 body paragraph의 내용을 요약하되 이전에 썼던 표현이나 단어와 다르게 할 것(이게 제일 힘들었음. -_-; 나의 부족한 보카실력이란 ...)

몇몇 학생의 에세이는 그야말로 싸그리 난도질 당하기도 했지만, 내가 쓴건 그나마 난도질을 덜 당한거 같아 나름 뿌듯하다. 그런데 외울 생각을 하니 하늘이 노랗다. -_-

English Essay

Make your lips glossy and sexy and you’ll be kissed! I got this lip moisturizer December 30th 2006 from my girl friend. This is one of the most meaningful things to me because it keeps my lips healthy, it’s the first thing I received from my girl friend, and it reminds me of times my girl friend and I started to love each other.

Lip is an important part of our face. By the way, when the weather is dry and cold, lips are not only parched but also bleed. Lip moisturizer can protect lips from getting dry and bleeding. Moreover after you put on lip moisturizer, your lips become glossy and healthy and your girl/boy friend may perhaps feel you’re so sexy that he/she wants to kiss you.

In 2006 winter, while my girl friend and I were enjoying some cocktails and chatting in a bar, suddenly she took something out from her bag and gave it to me, and told me “Happy New Year.” The present was this lip moisturizer. The first gift is very emotional to me as much as first love, first kiss, and so on. This is the first thing I’ve got from my girl friend.

Seeing this lip moisturizer I recall that my girl friend and I fell in love each other. When I could not be sure whether she loved me as much as I do her, I was encouraged by the presentation, lip moisturizer. Finally I proposed to her to be my girl friend, and then she became my girl. And besides When I kissed her in Ilsan Lake park I was wearing this moisturizer. Our love started and continues with this lip moisturizer.

I will never forget this lip moisturizer, and always keep it seriously. My lips looked sexy due to this lip moisturizer, This is the first present from my only girl, and this is the starting point of my love. Although this lip moisturizer ran out, instead my happy memory is going to last forever in my mind.

내가 제일 좋아하는 힙합곡. 정확하면서도 신속한 발음, 플로, 라임 빠진 구석이 하나도 없는 명곡.

"Lose Yourself"

Look, if you had one shot, or one opportunity
To seize everything you ever wanted-One moment
Would you capture it or just let it slip?

His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy
There's vomit on his sweater already, mom's spaghetti
He's nervous, but on the surface he looks calm and ready
To drop bombs, but he keeps on forgettin
What he wrote down, the whole crowd goes so loud
He opens his mouth, but the words won't come out
He's choking, how everybody's joking now
The clock's run out, time's up over, bloah!
Snap back to reality, Oh there goes gravity
Oh, there goes Rabbit, he choked
He's so mad, but he won't give up that
Easy, no
He won't have it , he knows his whole back's to these ropes
It don't matter, he's dope
He knows that, but he's broke
He's so stagnant that he knows
When he goes back to his mobile home, that's when it's
Back to the lab again yo
This this whole rhapsody
He better go capture this moment and hope it don't pass him

[Hook:]
You better lose yourself in the music, the moment
You own it, you better never let it go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime yo

The soul's escaping, through this hole that it's gaping
This world is mine for the taking
Make me king, as we move toward a, new world order
A normal life is boring, but superstardom's close to post mortem
It only grows harder, only grows hotter
He blows us all over these hoes is all on him
Coast to coast shows, he's know as the globetrotter
Lonely roads, God only knows
He's grown farther from home, he's no father
He goes home and barely knows his own daughter
But hold your nose cause here goes the cold water
His hoes don't want him no mo, he's cold product
They moved on to the next schmoe who flows
He nose dove and sold nada
So the soap opera is told and unfolds
I suppose it's old partner', but the beat goes on
Da da dum da dum da da

[Hook]

No more games, I'ma change what you call rage
Tear this motherfucking roof off like 2 dogs caged
I was playing in the beginning, the mood all changed
I been chewed up and spit out and booed off stage
But I kept rhyming and stepwritin the next cypher
Best believe somebody's paying the pied piper
All the pain inside amplified by the fact
That I can't get by with my 9 to 5
And I can't provide the right type of life for my family
Cause man, these goddam food stamps don't buy diapers
And it's no movie, there's no Mekhi Phifer, this is my life
And these times are so hard and it's getting even harder
Trying to feed and water my seed, plus
Teeter totter caught up between being a father and a prima donna
Baby mama drama's screaming on and
Too much for me to wanna
Stay in one spot, another day of monotony
Has gotten me to the point, I'm like a snail
I've got to formulate a plot fore I end up in jail or shot
Success is my only motherfucking option, failure's not
Mom, I love you, but this trailer's got to go
I cannot grow old in Salem's lot
So here I go is my shot.
Feet fail me not cause maybe the only opportunity that I got

[Hook]
