여러가지 구식 시계와 조립법 등을 알수가 있다

1864년 열일곱 살이었던 헝가리 소년. 살 길이 막막했다. 군대에 들어가 의식주 해결하려고 했다.  

원래는 부잣집 아들. 곡물상을 운영하는 유대인 집안이었다. 아버지가 돌연 사망. 가난의 나락으로 떨어졌다.     

시력이 형편없었다. 체격도 나약했다. 

군에서 받아주지 않았다. 절망만이 동행해 주었다. 

독일 함부르크까지 유랑했다. 거기서 미국 북군 모병관을 만났다. 지원하면 이민허가는 자동으로 떨어졌다. 

이민허가를 미끼로 

유럽청년을 모병하다

오케이! 지원하겠습니다. 이렇게 해서 미국군인 된 소년. 남북전쟁 끝난 후 고생고생 끝에 신문왕 됐다. 바로 Joseph Pulitzer.

북군이나 남군이나 병력이 부족했다. 남북전쟁 초기에는 지원병으로 전쟁을 치렀다. 

전쟁이 언제 끝날지 모르는 상황이 됐다. 가족마다 이웃마다 전사자와 부상자가 생겼다. 지원열기도 식었다.   

지원병으로는 모자라

징병제를 도입했으나

북부에서는 1863년 6월 국가징집법을 시행했다. 25세~45세는 모두 징집대상이 됐다. 

그런데 애초부터 이 법에는 징집을 피할  구멍이 존재했다. 하나는 본인 대신 다른 사람이 가는 방법이었다.  

부자는 돈 내고 군대 안가서 살고 

가난한 자는 돈 없어 징집돼서 죽고

또 하나는 3백 달러를 정부에 내면 군대 안 가도 됐다. 이 금액은 노동자의 1년 소득이었다.     

남부도 마찬가지였다. 징병대상은 18세~45세로 더 넓었다. 다른 사람이 대신 가도 됐다. 농장주는 노예 20명을 바치면 면제됐다.

북쪽이나 남쪽이나 부자들은 다 빠져 나갔다. 돈 없는 사람들= 힘없는 이들만 전쟁터에 나가 죽거나 다쳤다.

부자들이 전쟁 일으키고

빈자들이 싸움터 나가고

그래서 a rich man's war and a poor man's fight라는 말이 생겨났다.

뉴욕에서는 1863년 7월 12일자 신문에  1차 징집자 명단과 게티즈버그 전사자 명단이  실렸다.

징집된 사람은 대부분 아일랜드와 독일에서 이제 막 건너온 이민자였다.  the newly arrived 신이민(新移民)에게 돈이 있을 턱이 없었다.

  가족 굶어죽으라고

나보고 군대 가라고? 

먹고 살려고 바다 건너 왔다. 그러나 American Dream이라던 USA는 아니었다. 옛날에 온 구이민(舊移民) 세상이었다.

the established Anglo-Saxon Protestant가 다 차지하고 있었다. 정치-경제-사회의 요소요소를 장악하고 있었다. 

신이민은 구이민 밑에서 하루살이 품팔이로 연명했다.

우리는 누가 이기든 지든 상관없다.  하루하루 먹고살기가 벅차다. 그런데 군대 가서 죽으라고!  내 가족은 굶어 죽으라고! 

내가 군대 가면 

 내 일터는 누가 차지한다고?

흑인노예해방을 위해 내가 군대 간다. 좋다. 그런데 흑인은 군대도 안 간다. 군대 가는 우리 자리는 흑인이 차지한다. 공평한가?

돈 없어 군대 가야 한다. 내 자식과 마누라는 어떻게 살아야 하나. 부모는 누가 모시나. 이런저런 사연이 분노로 이어졌다. 

없는 설움이 폭동으로 비화되다

1863년 7월 13일 월요일 2차 징집자 명단이 발표됐다. 또 우리 아일랜드  사람이다! 

가슴 속에 응어리 진 불덩이가 폭발했다. 뉴욕폭동! 

공화당 인사를 습격했다. 신문사와 경찰서를 파괴했다. 흑인을 처형했다. 나흘 동안 계속됐다.

링컨은 5개 연대를 동원했다. 2천 명이 죽고 1만 명의 시민이 죽었다고도 하는 이 3백 달러 조항에 대한 저항을 진압했다. 

기피자 되고 

탈영자 되고 

이 사건은 북군에게 커다란 상처를 입혔다. 징집 기피와 탈영이 촉발됐다.

12만 명이 징집을 기피했다. 9만 명이 징병을 피해 캐나다로 갔다. 수만 명이 헌병의 손길이 미치지 않는 험준한 산속으로 들어갔다. 

탈영은 20만 명에 달했다. 남군과 싸울 병력이 절대 부족상태에 빠졌다. 유럽까지 가서 모병해야 했다. 

지금도 마찬가지다

어느 나라나 마찬가지다

한국전쟁 때 최하 소득계층의 미군 전사율이 최상층의 4배였다. 흑인 전사율은 백인의 2배였다. 

우리네도 있는 집 자식이야 미국유학 갔지. 뭐.  

베트남-이라크-아프가니스탄 전쟁 역시 다 같다. 없는 자가 군대 더 간다. 전쟁터에서 더 죽는다.

빠질 자는 용케도 그 구멍 잘도 찾아낸다. 없는 사람은 왜 그런 제도를  보는 눈이 없는가. 참 이상하다.

시리아에서 누가 고생하고 있나

2년 6개월이 된 내전. 고국 떠난 피난민이 1백90만 명이다. 이 가운데 어린이가 1백만. 11세 미만이 74만이다. 국내 피난민은 4백25만 명이나 된다.  

피난민촌의 하나인 Zaatari. 시리아 국경에 인접한 요르단 사막 황무지에 세워졌다. 

3 평방마일의 면적에 17만 명이 텐트 치고 산다. 반 이상이 18세 미만이다.

이곳에서 매일 열세 명의 아기가 탄생! 놀라운 일 아닌가. 돈 있고 권세 있었다면 여기서 머물고 있겠는가. 

생명의 법칙은 소유 여부를 묻지 않는다. 공정하고 평등하다. 인간이 격차와 차별과 소외와 배제를 만든다.   

장 폴 사르트르 왈; 부자가 전쟁을 일으키면 죽는 건 가난한 사람이다. "When the rich wage war, it is the poor who die" by Jean-Paul Charles Aymard Sartre.

-－－納得できるところと、出来ないところがある。。。

髪が薄いことを気にしているあなた。毎日、きちんと眠れていますか？ 薄毛には様々な原因がありますが、その中の一つが「睡眠不足」です。眠っている間、人間の体は、自分自身のメンテナンスを行います。この時、メンテナンスされる箇所は、臓器や脳など、生存するために重要な器官が優先です。髪や爪など、生存に重要でない部分は後回しですので、睡眠の状態が悪くなれば、当然、髪や爪のメンテナンスが不十分＝栄養が行き届かなくなってゆきます。睡眠不足は、髪の大敵なのです。それでは、いつ・どのぐらい眠ったら髪にとって良い睡眠が確保できるのでしょうか？

一般に、髪の毛が最も成長する時間帯は午後10時～午前2時。この頃にきちんと眠れているのが、髪にとっては最も理想的な環境です。発毛を促進する、毛母細胞の分裂が午後9時頃をピークに起こるからです。しかし、実際は「午後10時に寝る生活など絶対に無理」というかたが多いと思います。午後10時を過ぎてやっと帰宅する、というかたも少なくないのではないでしょうか？ 午後10時～午前2時に眠れていないから、髪のケアはもう無理？ そんなことはありません。その時間帯に眠れない人は、眠りの質を高める方向で工夫をしてみましょう。

眠ってすぐのノンレム睡眠状態のとき、成長ホルモンの分泌が活発になります。特に入眠直後の90分は最も成長ホルモンが分泌される時間帯で、一日のうちの70％がこの時間帯に出ると言われています。これを最大限に活用するために、眠る前の行動を見直して、深い眠りを得られるようになりましょう！

●お風呂を効果的に使う
まず、お風呂。忙しいからとほとんどシャワーで済ませていませんか？ ほどよい眠気は、上昇した体温が下がる時に生じます。ですから、しっかり体を温めておいたほうが、より寝付きやすくなるのです。布団に入る1～2時間ぐらい前までに、38～39度くらいのぬるめのお湯に20分ほど浸かると、体を芯から温めることができます。「熱いお風呂の方が好き！ 」「冷え性だからぬるめのお風呂は苦手」というかたはもう少し高い温度のお風呂でも良いですが、あまり熱すぎると逆に体が覚醒してしまうので注意しましょう。

●テレビやパソコンの明るい光から離れる
寝る前に、いつも何をしていますか？「ダラダラとテレビを観るのが好き」「ネットで今日一日の情報をチェックするのが習慣」そんな人は要注意！ テレビやパソコンなどの強い光は、睡眠に関するホルモンであるメラトニンの分泌を抑制し、眠りの質を悪化させてしまいます。遅くとも入眠30分前には、テレビ鑑賞やパソコン作業は切り上げましょう。もし可能ならば、テレビ鑑賞やパソコンでの作業はできるだけ早い時間に行うようにし、眠る時間が近づくにつれて、音楽鑑賞や読書などに移行するように帰宅後の自宅でのスケジュールを組めると良いでしょう。

●カフェインは避けて、アルコールはほどほどに！
「眠る前に温かい飲み物を飲むとリラックスできる」という人もいます。それ自体は良いことなのですが、この時、うっかりカフェイン入りの飲み物を選ばないよう注意しましょう。「緑茶や紅茶なら大丈夫！ 」と思い込んでいる人がたまにいますが、それは誤りです。コーヒーほどではありませんが、緑茶や紅茶も基本的にカフェインを含んでいます。できれば、寝る前用のノンカフェインのお茶を用意しておくのが理想です。また、アルコールは適量であれば寝付きを良くしてくれますが、分解された後、眠りを浅くしてしまう傾向があります。「飲むな」とは言いませんが、「ほどほどに」を心がけてください。

●どうしても寝付けないなら無理をしない！
ここまで準備をしても、それでも「眠れない」という日もあると思います。気がかりなことがあったり、生活リズムが乱れていたりしていてうまく眠れない…。そんな時は、頑張って眠ろうとするのを、すっぱりやめてしまいましょう。良質の眠りを得たいのに、眠れないことで逆にストレスを溜めてしまっては意味がありません。眠らずに、目を閉じて布団の中でゴロゴロしているだけでも、体の6割ほどの疲れをとることができると言われています。イライラして、自己メンテナンス率0％になるよりは、60％のほうがずっと効果が上です。薄毛の人はストレスを溜めやすい人が多い、という説もあります。一日の終わりに、イライラを追加する必要はありません。毎日、気持ちよく眠って、髪も心もゆっくり休めてあげましょう。

Thank you.

I’m honored to be with you today for your commencement from one of the finest universities in the world. Truth be told, I never graduated from college, and 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 six 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 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’ve got an unexpected baby boy; do you want him?” They said, “Of course.” My biological mother found out later 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 go to college. This was the start in my life.

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 okay. 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 far more 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 five cent deposits to buy food with, and I would walk the seven 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, it’s likely that no personal computer would have them. If I had never dropped out, I would have never dropped in on that 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 10 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 — because believing that the dots will connect down the road will give you the confidence to follow your heart, even when it leads you off the well-worn path, and that will make all the difference.

My second story is about love and loss.

I was lucky — I found what I loved to do early in life. Woz¹ and I startedApple 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 two billion dollar company with over 4000 employees. We’d 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. And 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 world’s 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, and I retuned 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. Sometime life — Sometimes life going to hit 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 — and 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 — 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’ve 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 and 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 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, thankfully, I’m fine now.

This was the closest I’ve been to facing death, and I hope it’s 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’s 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’s 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 60s, 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, 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’ve 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.
