A day to review his speech again.

Stanford Report, June 14, 2005
‘You’ve got to find what you love,’ Jobs says

This is the text of the Commencement address by Steve Jobs, CEO of Apple Computer and of Pixar Animation Studios, delivered on June 12, 2005.

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.

Thank you all very much.

你會怎麼做？

(轉載，來源不明）

你會怎麼做？

請你作出你的選擇，這不是什麼機智問答。總之讀下去，我的問題是：你會作出同樣的選擇嗎？ 在一個學習遲緩兒童學校的募款餐會上，在場的所有人永遠忘不了其中一個學生的父親所說的話。

在推祟學校和教職員的付出和貢獻後，這個家長問了一個問題：

照理說在無外力干擾下，大自然所創造的一切都是完美的。

但我的兒子，西恩，他無法像別的孩子一樣的學習，他無法像別的孩子一樣的理解事物。

在我孩子身上，大自然的法則何在？

所有聽眾都啞口無言。

這個父親繼續說。我相信當像西恩這樣有身體及心智殘缺的孩子來到這個世界，是一 個展現人類真實本性的機會。而這一次體現在別人如何對待這個孩子。

接著，他說了下面這個故事：

西恩和我走過一個公園，裡面有些西恩所認識的男孩正在玩棒球。

西恩問我：＂你想他們會讓我一起玩嗎？＂我知道大部份的孩子不會想要有西恩這樣的孩子在自己的隊上， 但身為一個父親我同時也知道若他們能讓我兒子參加，這會讓他得到他所迫切需要的歸屬感並建立起自己 雖然是殘障仍能被接受的信心。

我走近一個男童（不抱太大希望的）問他西恩可否參加，他看看周圍的隊友然後
說＂我們輸了6分而現在正在第8局上,我想他何以參加我們的隊，我們會在第9局設法讓他上場打擊。」

西恩帶著滿臉的喜悅困難的走向他的球隊的休息區，穿上該隊的球衣，我悄悄的滴下眼淚而心中有滿滿的溫暖。

而那些男孩也看出了我對於兒子被接納的喜悅。

在8局下，西恩的隊有追了上來，但仍然還輸3分。第9局上半場，西恩戴上手套防守右外野，雖然沒有球往他的位置飛來，

但能在場上他已經很高興了，我從看台上向他揮手他笑的合不攏嘴。在9局下，西恩的球隊又得分了。

而此時，二出局滿壘的狀況，下一棒是球隊逆轉的機會，而西恩正是被排在這一棒。

在這個重要關頭，他們會讓西恩上場打擊而放棄贏球的機會嗎？

讓人驚奇的是他們真的把球棒交給了西恩，大家都知道西恩根本不可能打到球，
因為他甚至不知道怎麼握球棒更別談碰到球了。然而當西恩踏上打擊位置，
投手已經明白對手為了西恩生命中重要的這一刻放下贏球的機會，
所以他往前走了幾步投了一個很軟的球給西恩讓他至少能碰一下。第一球投出來，西恩笨拙的揮棒落空。

投手又再往前走了幾步投出一個軟軟的球給西恩。當球飛過來西恩揮棒打出一個慢速的滾地球，直直的滾向投手。

球賽眼看就要結束。投手撿起這軟軟的滾地球，他可以輕易的把球傳給一壘手讓西恩出局而結束這場球賽。

然而投手把球高高的傳往一壘手的頭頂上方通過，讓他所有的隊友都接不到。
每個站在看台上的人不管是那一隊的都開始喊著：＂西恩，跑到一壘！跑到一壘！跑到一壘！＂

西恩這輩子從來沒有跑這麼遠過，但他還是努力跑到了一壘。他踩上壘包眼睛張的很大而且很驚喜。

每個人都喊著說：＂西恩，跑向二壘，跑向二壘！＂剛喘過氣，西恩蹣跚的跑向二壘，很辛苦的往壘包跑。

這時，就在西恩往二壘跑時，右外野手拿到了球，這個全隊最矮的小子第一次有了成為隊上英雄的機會了。

他大可把球傳向二壘，但這個全隊最矮的小子瞭解投手的心意，所以他也把球故意高 高傳過三壘手的頭頂過去。當前面的跑者往本壘跑時，西恩跌跌撞撞的往三壘跑。

大家都大喊著，＂西恩，跑,下去，跑下去。＂

西恩能到達三壘是因為對方的遊擊手跑來幫忙將他帶往三壘的方向，而且喊著，＂跑到三壘，西恩，跑到三壘。＂

當西恩抵達三壘，雙方的選手和所有的觀眾都站起來，高喊著，＂西恩，全壘打！全壘打！＂

西恩跑回本壘踩上壘包時，大家為西恩大聲喝采就如他打了一個大滿貫並為全隊贏的比賽的英雄般。

＂那一天＂，那個父親兩頰淚流滿面輕柔的說，＂兩隊的男孩子把真愛和人性的光輝帶進了這個世界。＂

西恩沒能活到另一個夏天，他在那年的冬天過逝，但他從沒忘記他曾經是個英雄而且讓我那們高興，以及他回家時看著媽媽流著淚擁著她的小英雄的那一天！

現在,是關於這個故事的一點附註：

我們不假思索的用email把數以千計的笑話傳來傳去，但當我們遇到要傳送有關生命的 選擇的信件時，我們反而感到猶豫了。

粗俗、野蠻和經常是有點淫穢的東西每天在網路上無限制的傳播著，反而高尚的事情 的討論卻在學校裡及辦公室裡被壓抑著。

如果你在思考著把這封email轉寄出去，可能你會在你的聯絡人上挑選出那些不適合收到這封信的人，然而把這封email寄給你的人相信我們可以讓世界變的不一樣。

我們每天都有無數的機會可以協助去體現大自然的法則。

很多人與人之間微不足道的互動都是一個選擇的機會。

到底我們是把愛和人性的光輝傳遞下去，或者放棄這些機會使得這世界一點點的更冷默。

有一個智者說過；要評價一個社會就要看這個社會如何去對待他們之中最不幸的人。

所以現在你有兩個選擇；
1. 刪除
2. 轉寄

但願你的每一天都是西恩日。

晉惠帝

［轉貼］

如果沒有教會我們的孩子同理心，教育是失敗的。
我們在培養無數的晉惠帝。也許很聰明，功課很好，但沒有同情心。

土石流毀家園「叫他們搬家啊」

作家黃春明說起不久前發生在他身上的小故事：

「有一次我從宜蘭搭火車回台北，瑞芳那站上來一群高中生，擠在廁所外說笑打
鬧。我從廁所出來，車一轉彎，我撞到一個學生。『你怎麼搞的？』他很不高興。

「我說：『對不起，車子搖晃得很厲害。』他看看我，說：『反正你快要死了。』我
心裡好痛，回家說給太太聽，台灣的囝仔怎麼變這樣？我就算快死也不用你這樣
講。」

剛退休的暨南大學教授李家同今年初對菁英高中生演講時，談到印度窮人飢餓到必須
跟猴子要食物的景況，台下學生大笑。

李家同生氣了，斥責年輕學生：「我不是小丑，不是來愉悅大家；這國家總要有人告
訴年輕人嚴肅的事，讓他們看見世界的真相。」

黃春明、李家同的心情，是許多人共同的憂慮：在優渥的生活中，在考試掛帥的競爭
環境下，我們會不會養出了「沒有同理心」的下一代？

中央大學認知神經科學研究所所長洪蘭說，有個國小學生指著桌上的水果：「媽媽說
那些個頭小的椪柑，不好吃，是給菲傭吃的。」[On Dog: OMG…. DLS….]

洪蘭很吃驚，她當場剝了一個小柑橘和小學生一人一半，「你看，又甜又多汁啊。」

「為什麼不好吃的，是該菲傭吃的呢？」

洪蘭感嘆，我們對弱勢者太不夠同理心了，身處優勢的人還視為理所當然，「大人教
孩子對人有差別待遇，從小就學了看不起人」。

「我想印張名片，頭銜是：『晉惠帝培養專家』。我想，許多人都需要這張名片。」

嘉義一位國小女老師投書聯合報這樣感嘆：我們總是給孩子最好的，卻不在乎他有沒
有悲天憫人的觀念。

沒鞋的小妹「再買就好啦」

女老師上課時放影片給學生觀看，片中小兄妹買不起鞋子，母親要臨盆了，小女孩得
到對面山頭去叫產婆，光腳的她咬牙跑過尖石路面。

班上有個孩子看完的感想是：「再買一雙就好了，幹嘛那麼辛苦？」

老師看著學生，「他腳上穿的是NIKE，用的是名牌，暑假去美國度假一個月，會有這
樣的感想一點都不為過，他是真的不懂啊。」

女老師指出，大人在孩子面前嘲笑那些付出勞力掙錢的人：「你不好好讀書，將來就
像這樣辛苦工作賺錢，沒有前途！」言語中對階級歧視沒有自覺。

無數晉惠帝在你我身邊

「所以我們在培養無數的晉惠帝。也許很聰明，功課很好，但沒有同情心。」

高雄大學應用數學系副教授游森棚有類似的擔心。

他曾在建中任教數理資優班，大部分孩子都體貼善良，但讓他擔心的是：那些Ｍ型社
會右端、身處優渥的孩子，對另一端的苦難缺乏理解與同情。

有一年，土石流毀了部落小女孩的家，她原本每天走一小時山路去上學，但現在課本
沒了，作業簿沒了，路也沒了。有一頓沒一頓。

富小孩不解，資優生「祖辰」在周記裡這樣評論：「誰叫他們住在那裡。他們可以搬
家啊。」

游森棚非常驚訝，建議學生要設身處地想一想，但祖辰回他：「我又不住山上。」

游森棚思考：祖辰家境富裕，一路順遂，「他這樣聰明幸運的小孩，一輩子都不須體
會有一頓沒一頓的恐懼，也不可能體會拚命想卡住一個小小位置的辛苦」。

祖辰並不是個案。游森棚說，許多名校學生家庭的社經地位遠高於社會平均值，對他
們來說，土石流女孩是另一個世界。

未來的菁英了解世界嗎？

游森棚憂慮，當這樣把優渥視為理所當然的孩子長大，站上社會的決策位置，他們的
決策與思考也摒除了他們所不了解的真實世界。

「將來，會是什麼樣子？」他們可能為社會不同際遇的人設想嗎？

「如果沒有教會同理心，教育是失敗的。」

轉貼: 道德往往能彌補智慧的缺陷

在某個電視訪談節目中，嘉賓是一位當今頗具知名的青年企業家。

節目漸近尾聲時，按慣例，主 持人提出了最後一個問題。

請問：『你認為事業成功的最關鍵品質是什麼？』
沉思片刻之后，他並沒有直接回答，而是平靜地敘述了這樣一段故事：

12年前，有一個小伙子剛畢業就去了法國，開始了半工半讀的留學生活。

漸漸地，他發現當地的的公共交通系統的售票處是自助的，

也就是你想到哪個地方，根據目的地自行買票，車站幾乎都是開放式的，

不設檢票口，也沒有檢票員 。

甚至連隨機性的抽查都非常少。
他發現了這個管理上的漏洞，或者說以他的思維 方式看來是漏洞。

憑著自己的聰明勁，他精確地估算了這樣一個概率：

逃票而被查到的比例大約僅為萬分之三。

他為自己的這個發現而沾沾自喜，從此之後，他便經常逃票上車。

他還找到了一個寬慰自己的理由：自己還?歉F學生嘛，能省一點是一點。

4年過去了，名牌大學的金字招牌和優秀的學業成績讓他充滿自信，

他開始頻頻地進入巴黎一些跨國公司的大門，躊躇滿志地推銷自己，

因為他知道這些公司都在積極地 開發亞太市場。

但這些公司都是先熱情有加，然而數日之後，卻又都是婉言相拒。

一次次的 失敗，使他憤怒。

他認為一定是這些公司有種族歧視的傾向，排斥中國人。

最後一次，

他衝進了某公司人力資源部經理的辦公室，

要求經理對於不予錄用他給出一個合理的理由。

然而，結局卻是他始料不及的。

下面的一段對話很令人玩味。

『先生，我們並不是歧視你，相反，我們很重視你。

因為我們公司一直在開發中國市場，

我們需要一些優秀的本土人才來協助我們完成這個工作，所以你一來求職的時候，我們對你的教育背景和學術水平很感興趣，老實說，從工作能力上，你就是我們所要找的人。』

『那為什麼不收天下英才為貴公司所用？ 』

『因為我們查了你的信用記錄，

發現你有3次乘公車逃票被處罰的記錄。』

『我不否認這個。

但為了這點小事，你們就放棄了一個多次在學報上發表過論文的人才？』

小事？

我們並不認為這是小事。

我們注意到，第1次逃票是在你來我們國家後的第1個星期，

檢查人員相信了你的解釋，

因為你說自己還不熟悉自助售票系統，只是給你補了票。

但在這之後，你又2次逃票。

『那時剛好我口袋中沒有零錢。 』

不、不，先生。

我不同意你這種解釋，你在懷疑我的智商。

我相信在被查獲前，你 可能有數百次逃票的經歷。

『那也罪不至死吧？幹嗎那麼認真？以後改還不行嗎？』

不、不，先生。此事證明了兩點：
一、你不尊重規則。

不僅如此，你擅於發現規則中的漏洞並惡意使用。

二、你不值得信任。

而我們公司的許多工作的進行是必須依靠信任進行的，

因為如果你負責了某個地區的市場開發，

公司將賦予你許多職權。

為了節約成本，我們沒有辦法設置複雜的監督機構，

正如我們的公共交通系統一樣。

所以我們沒有辦法雇用你，

可以確切地說，在這個國家甚至整個歐盟，你可能找不到雇用你的公司。』

直到此時，他才如夢方醒、懊悔難當。

然而，真正讓他產生一語驚心之感的，卻還是對方最後提到一句話：

『道德常常能彌補智慧的缺陷，然而 ，智慧卻永遠填補不了道德的空白。』

緣去

緣來緣去皆是福

（轉貼）
龍山的善國寺有兩個和尚：悟空和悟了。一開始他們每天都出去化緣，後來就只有
悟空天天出去化緣了。

原來，悟了發現龍山下的緣十分好化，隨便到山下走走，就能化到很多，悟了就把
化來的錢買很多米、面等生活必需品存放著，其餘的時候就在寺廟裏睡懶覺。

悟空就勸悟了，讓他不要虛度時光，要出去化緣。悟了聽了很煩，說：“出家人豈可
太貪？有吃的就行。你看我有這麼多的糧食，足可以讓我吃上半月，何必出去奔波
勞累？”

悟空念了聲阿彌陀佛，說：“師弟，你化了這麼多年緣，還沒有參悟到化緣的妙處和
真諦啊？”

悟了聽了，就諷刺悟空，說：“師兄，你倒是日出而出，日落而歸，可你空手而
去，空手而回，你化的緣呢？”

悟空說：“我化的緣在心裏。緣自心來，緣也要由心去。”

悟了聽得 一頭霧水，說：“不明白不明白。”

後來，悟了化的錢物越來越少了。這讓悟了很苦惱，原來化一次緣可以吃上半
月，現在只可吃上幾天。但悟空依舊天天日出而出，日落而歸，空手而去，空手而
回，但悟空天天都面帶微笑。

悟了想挖苦師兄，說：“師兄，你今天收穫如何？”

悟空說：“收穫多多。”

悟了說：“收穫在那裏？”

悟空說：“在人間裏，在人心裏。”

悟了感覺自己一時很難參悟師兄的話，決定明天一起跟悟空去化緣。悟了說：“師
兄，我悟性太差，我想明天跟你去化一次緣。”悟空點頭同意。

次日，悟了要跟悟空去化緣了，悟了又拿了那個他出去化緣用的布袋。悟空說：“師
弟，放下布袋吧。”悟了說：“為何？”悟空說：“你這布袋裏裝滿私欲貪婪，拿出
去，是化不來最好的緣的。”

悟了說：“那我們把化 來的東西裝哪兒？”悟空說：“人心裏。人心無所不容。”

就這樣，悟空和悟了就上路了。

悟了跟悟空每到一處，就會有很多人認出悟空。悟空還沒來得及說話，他們就主動
拿出東西給悟空。有的還說，幸虧悟空大師上次施捨，才使我們渡過難關。悟空大
師的大恩大德，我們沒齒難忘啊！

悟了在心裏想：“不讓我拿布袋，看你一會把東西往哪里擱。”

他們繼續往前走，他們化的緣也越來越多。悟了看到今天收穫不少，滿懷欣喜。

恰在這時候，從遠處走來一個農夫，懷裏還抱著一個孩子，邊走邊哭。原來農夫的
孩子得了重病，他拿不出錢來給孩子看病。悟空就走過去，把化來的財物全部給了
農夫。

他們繼續前行，除了溫飽外，他們一路化了就捨，捨了再化。

悟空問悟了：“師弟，跟我出來你化到了什麼？”悟了苦笑。

悟空說：“師弟，你只知道緣來之福，而不懂得緣去之福。看天地間，自然萬物為何
如此美麗，天地萬物都在迴圈啊。

師弟，風水、日夜、四季，哪一樣不是在迴圈？光知道緣來之福的人，那只是片刻
的歡愉，時間久了，就是一池死水。

我們之間的區別就是，你把化來之物放在了充滿私欲貪婪的布袋裏，我則把化來之
物放在人心裏迴圈，讓善良和愛在人間、在人們的心裏迴圈。”

悟了聽到這裏，低下了頭。悟空念了聲，“阿彌陀佛。”
