“We must be both rational and intellectual, both analytic and imaginative, utilizing both statistics and insight.” ——Lloyd Reynolds, Reed professor & calligraphy instructor
I wish everyone could taste the excitement, the intensity that lies at the heart of true education, whether it takes place reading Plato’s Republic on the Great Lawn or wrestling with Zen koans on a TriMet bus. I wish everyone could have the time and space to kindle the spark of inspiration into a fire. And when it comes to reading—and writing—job applications, I wish everyone could remember that we, too, are unfinished projects, first drafts, rough cuts, works in progress. The main difference is that some of us have been going at it longer than others.

“I want to learn more and more to see as beautiful what is necessary in things; then I shall be one of those who make things beautiful. I do not want to wage war against what is ugly. I do not want to accuse.” ——Friedrich Nietzsche
Designing a product is keeping five thousand things in your brain and fitting them all together in new and different ways to get what you want. And every day you discover something new that is a new problem or a new opportunity to fit these things together a little differently. And it’s that process that is the magic.

I've never had a distinction in my mind between those two types of people. They've just been to me people who pursue different paths but basically kind of headed to the same goal which is to express something of what they perceive to be the truth around them so that others can benefit by it.
The Newton was a terrific idea, but it was too far ahead of its time. The Newton actually saved Apple from going bankrupt. Most people don’t realize in order to build Newton, we had to build a new generation microprocessor. We joined together with Olivetti and a man named Herman Hauser, who had started Acorn computer over in the U.K. out of Cambridge university. And Herman designed the ARM processor, and Apple and Olivetti funded it. Apple and Olivetti owned 47 percent of the company and Herman owned the rest. It was designed around Newton, around a world where small miniaturized devices with lots of graphics, intensive subroutines and all of that sort of stuff… when Apple got into desperate financial situation, it sold its interest in ARM for $800 million. If it had kept it, the company went on to become an $8 or $10 billion company. It’s worth a lot more today. That’s what gave Apple the cash to stay alive.

有种中华特有的美感“Think Different":So hopefully what you’ve seen here today are some beginning steps that give you some confidence that we, too, are going to think differently, and serve the people that have been buying our products since the beginning. Because a lot of times people think that they’re crazy. But in that craziness, we see genius, and those are the people we’re making tools for.

撒切尔夫人曾说:你不要担心中国,因为中国只能出口玩具、计算机和电视机,不能出口思想。
中国人自古以来,春秋时好一些,从汉代以后,膝软如棉,脸厚如铁。凡是膝盖软如棉的人必定脸皮厚如铁。什么都可以不要,脸皮能不厚吗?什么东西成堆?凡是没有力量的东西成堆,绵羊成堆,老虎狮子从来都是独居的。我希望你们成为学术界的老虎和狮子,不要成为绵羊。
Jobs Talks About His Rise and Fall https://www.newsweek.com/jobs-talks-about-his-rise-and-fall-207016
原文地址: 申请日本研究生 首先有必须向大家解释一下日语中这个“研究生”的概念以及日本的大学院的基本设置。 日语中“研究生”用英文来说是research student,在日本的大学是非正规生,也就是说没有学位也不可以修得学分,一般情况下只能在研究生阶段结束以后得到一份“研究生修了证明书”,这个回国是没有用处的。 最初研究生的设立,并不是为了大学院备考者。但是现在外国留学生都利用这个课程来作为进入大学院正规课程的一个途径。说直接一点,就是为了拿到签证,来日本考大学院的一个途径。 研究生又分为两种,一为学部研究生,申请的资格为大学本科毕业及其预定毕业者,或者是满16年学习经历的都有资格申请。第二种为大学院研究生一般是硕士毕业以及其预定毕业者有资格申请。 简单的说,可以把中日的高中到博士的就学阶段和名称对比如下: 日本:高校 学部 学部研究生 修士 大学院研究生 博士 中国:高中 本科 硕士预科 硕士 博士预科 博士 |--------- | ----------| | 统称大学院 研究生的申请基本上为书类选考,也就是只要提交必要的材料和得到指教教官的许可就可以申请。也有个别好的大学需要书面考试,但为数不多。 研究生的申请可以是国内出愿(人在日本),也可以是海外出愿(人在中国)。 日本大学院的基本设置。 一般是##大学大学院###研究科的机构下,分博士前期(相当于国内的硕士)和博士后期(博士),有些大学的有些专业没有博士后期,一般就叫做修士课程。 研究生下又有具体专攻的划分。 申请研究生第一步 是和你想去大学的导师联系,希望他能够当你的指导教官(当然事先搜集有关大学,导师的资料是必备的,要确定这个大学一定招研究生.相关信息。 可以利用小春留学论坛学校版提供的以下信息搜索引擎 也可以利用日文门户网站yahoo等来搜索。) 联系导师的合理时间,一般在你希望入学时间(一般一年有两次,4月和10月,)的6-12个月前.具体时间各个学校,各个专业不同不同。 至少6个月前是一定要联系拉,否则会来不及. 国内本科大4在校生,建议在进入大4后就着手准备联系导师事项. 联系导师的方法,材料及注意事项 1。可以通过电子邮件,书信,传真,电话各种工具。最方便,最便宜的方式推荐用电子邮件。有些导师是不公开电子邮件的,那就只能利用其他工具拉。
