And keep your eyes wide.

And there's no telling who that it's naming, for the loser now will be later to win.
誰會青史留名,還未可知,因為此刻的失敗者將在未來勝利。

For, the times, they are changing."

This is the lyrics of one of Bob Dylan's song - The Times They Are a-Changin'
這是鮑勃·迪倫的一首歌《時代正在改變》里的歌詞。

And this was what Steve Jobs read to the board of Apple in 1984 when he presented Mac to them for the first time.

And what happened after that are well known by us all.

Apple achieved great success and changed our life.
蘋果取得了巨大的成功,也改變了我們的生活。

But?in those years, few people believed in Jobs.
但在那個年代,沒有多少人對喬布斯有信心。

They saw him as an idealistic young man without any experience or common sense.

The world has never been built by common minds.
這個世界從來就不是由流俗之人建立的。

It is built by generation after generation of crazy minds.

So if you ever find yourself not seeing the world in the ways that your friends see it in, don't panic.

You may be the next one to make a difference.
或許,你就是下一個改變世界的人。
