第一篇：喬布斯中英文簡介

Jobs Nobody else in the computer industry, or any other industry for that matter, could put on a show like Steve Jobs.His product launches, at which he would stand alone on a black stage and conjure up a “magical” or “incredible” new electronic gadget in front of an awed crowd, were the performances of a master showman.All computers do is fetch and shuffle numbers, he once explained, but do it fast enough and “the results appear to be magic”.He spent his life packaging that magic into elegantly designed, easy to use products.He had been among the first, back in the 1970s, to see the potential that lay in the idea of selling computers to ordinary people.In those days of green-on-black displays, when floppy discs were still floppy, the notion that computers might soon become ubiquitous seemed fanciful.But Mr Jobs was one of a handful of pioneers who saw what was coming.Crucially, he also had an unusual knack for looking at computers from the outside, as a user, not just from the inside, as an engineer—something he attributed to the experiences of his wayward youth.Mr Jobs caught the computing bug while growing up in Silicon Valley.As a teenager in the late 1960s he cold-called his idol, Bill Hewlett, and talked his way into a summer job at Hewlett-Packard.But it was only after dropping out of college, travelling to India, becoming a Buddhist and experimenting with psychedelic drugs that Mr Jobs returned to California to co-found Apple, in his parents’ garage, on April Fools’ Day 1976.“A lot of people in our industry haven’t had very diverse experiences,” he once said.“So they don’t have enough dots to connect, and they end up with very linear solutions.” Bill Gates, he suggested, would be “a broader guy if he had dropped acid once or gone off to an ashram when he was younger”.Dropping out of his college course and attending calligraphy classes instead had, for example, given Mr Jobs an apparently useless love of typography.But support for a variety of fonts was to prove a key feature of the Macintosh, the pioneering mouse-driven, graphical computer that Apple launched in 1984.With its windows, icons and menus, it was sold as “the computer for the rest of us”.Having made a fortune from Apple’s initial success, Mr Jobs expected to sell “zillions” of his new machines.But the Mac was not the mass-market success Mr Jobs had hoped for, and he was ousted from Apple by its board.Yet this apparently disastrous turn of events turned out to be a blessing: “the best thing that could have ever happened to me”, Mr Jobs later called it.He co-founded a new firm, Pixar, which specialised in computer graphics, and NeXT, another computer-maker.His remarkable second act began in 1996 when Apple, having lost its way, acquired NeXT, and Mr Jobs returned to put its technology at the heart of a new range of Apple products.And the rest is history: Apple launched the iMac, the iPod, the iPhone and the iPad, and(briefly)became the world’s most valuable listed company.“I’m pretty sure none of this would have happened if I hadn’t been fired from Apple,” Mr Jobs said in 2005.When his failing health forced him to step down as Apple’s boss in 2011, he was hailed as the greatest chief executive in history.Oh, and Pixar, his side project, produced a string of hugely successful animated movies.In retrospect, Mr Jobs was a man ahead of his time during his first stint at Apple.Computing’s early years were dominated by technical types.But his emphasis on design and ease of use gave him the edge later on.Elegance, simplicity and an understanding of other fields came to matter in a world in which computers are fashion items, carried by everyone, that can do almost anything.“Technology alone is not enough,” said Mr Jobs at the end of his speech introducing the iPad, in January 2010.“It’s technology married with liberal arts, married with humanities, that yields the results that make our hearts sing.” It was an unusual statement for the head of a technology firm, but it was vintage Steve Jobs.His interdisciplinary approach was backed up by an obsessive attention to detail.A carpenter making a fine chest of drawers will not use plywood on the back, even though nobody will see it, he said, and he applied the same approach to his products.“For you to sleep well at night, the aesthetic, the quality, has to be carried all the way through.” He insisted that the first Macintosh should have no internal cooling fan, so that it would be silent—putting user needs above engineering convenience.He called an Apple engineer one weekend with an urgent request: the colour of one letter of an on-screen logo on the iPhone was not quite the right shade of yellow.He often wrote or rewrote the text of Apple’s advertisements himself.His on-stage persona as a Zen-like mystic notwithstanding, Mr Jobs was an autocratic manager with a fierce temper.But his egomania was largely justified.He eschewed market researchers and focus groups, preferring to trust his own instincts when evaluating potential new products.“A lot of times, people don’t know what they want until you show it to them,” he said.His judgment proved uncannily accurate: by the end of his career the hits far outweighed the misses.Mr Jobs was said by an engineer in the early years of Apple to emit a “reality distortion field”, such were his powers of persuasion.But in the end he changed reality, channelling the magic of computing into products that reshaped music, telecoms and media.The man who said in his youth that he wanted to “put a ding in the universe” did just that.以下為中文評論全文：

到目前為止，世界上還沒有哪個計(jì)算機(jī)行業(yè)或者其他任何行業(yè)的領(lǐng)袖能夠像喬布斯那樣舉辦出一場萬眾矚目的盛會。在每次蘋果推出新產(chǎn)品之時，喬布斯總是會獨(dú)自站在黑色的舞臺上，向充滿敬仰之情的觀眾展示出又一款“充滿魔力”而又“不可思議”的創(chuàng)新電子產(chǎn)品來，他的發(fā)布方式充滿了表演的天賦。計(jì)算機(jī)所做的無非是計(jì)算，但是經(jīng)過他的解釋和展示，高速的計(jì)算就“仿佛擁有了無限的魔力”。喬布斯終其一生都在將他的魔力包裝到了設(shè)計(jì)精美、使用簡便的產(chǎn)品當(dāng)中去。

喬布斯早在20世紀(jì)70年代便已經(jīng)看到了向普通大眾出售計(jì)算機(jī)這塊業(yè)務(wù)的潛力。在當(dāng)年世界還在使用綠黑相間的屏幕、5寸軟盤的時代，讓電腦成為家家戶戶必備的設(shè)備似乎還是一個遙不可及的夢想。但是喬布斯是少數(shù)幾位具有遠(yuǎn)見卓識的先驅(qū)之一。而更為重要的是，喬布斯擁有一個不尋常的本領(lǐng)，即他不僅會從工程開發(fā)人員的角度從內(nèi)審視電腦，同時他還會從用戶的角度來從外界觀察人們對電腦的需求——他將這一本領(lǐng)歸功于他自己任性的青年時代。

豐富的經(jīng)歷塑造了非凡的成就

喬布斯從小在硅谷長大，使得他從小便有機(jī)會耳濡目染到計(jì)算機(jī)的世界。在20世紀(jì)60年代末，他有幸認(rèn)識了自己心目中的偶像比爾·休利特(Bill Hewlett)，并成功地為自己獲得了到休利特創(chuàng)辦的惠普做暑期兼職的機(jī)會。此后他在讀了1年大學(xué)后輟學(xué)、前往印度、開始篤信佛教并嘗試了迷幻藥劑，最終他選擇回到了加利福尼亞州并與好友聯(lián)合創(chuàng)辦了蘋果。他的公司于1976年的愚人節(jié)當(dāng)天在他的父母的車庫里正式開張。他曾經(jīng)表示：“很多在我們這個行業(yè)的人都沒有過如此復(fù)雜的經(jīng)歷，因此他們沒有足夠的經(jīng)驗(yàn)來推出非線性的解決方案?！彼硎颈葼枴どw斯“如果在年輕的時候吸吸迷幻藥或者經(jīng)常去花天酒地一下的話，他的眼界肯定將會更加開闊。”

例如喬布斯從大學(xué)輟學(xué)并去參加了書法班，使得喬布斯對排版產(chǎn)生了濃厚的興趣。但是他學(xué)習(xí)各種字體的目的卻是使之成為麥金塔(Macintosh)系統(tǒng)的核心賣點(diǎn)，這款由蘋果于1984年推出的電腦產(chǎn)品還具有開拓了鼠標(biāo)驅(qū)動、圖形優(yōu)化的特性。其中的窗口、圖標(biāo)以及菜單等用戶友好的界面和功能被外界視為一款“給大眾使用的電腦”。喬布斯在通過蘋果挖得了第一桶金子之后，便期望著通過未來新的機(jī)型獲得“數(shù)以億計(jì)”的收益。但是Mac并沒有像喬布斯的想象那 樣大獲成功，而他自己也被蘋果踢出了董事會。

然而塞翁失馬焉知非福，喬布斯在多年以后談到被踢出蘋果董事會這件事情的時候表示，“這是我人生經(jīng)歷當(dāng)中最令人高興的一件事?！彼陔x開蘋果后又聯(lián)合創(chuàng)辦了皮克斯動畫公司(Pixar)，專攻電腦動畫業(yè)務(wù);并又創(chuàng)辦了另外一家從事電腦產(chǎn)品生產(chǎn)的企業(yè)NeXT。他于蘋果在1996年陷入困境的時候再度出山，在蘋果收購了NeXT之后再度將自己的創(chuàng)意注入到了蘋果的系列產(chǎn)品當(dāng)中。之后的歷史便成為了經(jīng)典：蘋果先后推出了iMac、iPod、iPhone以及iPad，并且很快便成為了全世界市值最高的企業(yè)之一。喬布斯在2005年表示：“我敢肯定，如果蘋果當(dāng)年沒有開除我的話，這一切都不會發(fā)生。”直到他于2011年8月由于健康原因辭去CEO職務(wù)之前，他一直被外界視為最杰出的CEO。而皮克斯作為喬布斯的一個副業(yè)產(chǎn)品，也為大眾帶來了大量精彩的動畫電影。

將技術(shù)與人性結(jié)合，追尋內(nèi)心的直覺

回顧喬布斯的一生，喬布斯早在開發(fā)出第一款蘋果電腦時便已經(jīng)遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)地走在了時代的前沿。早年的計(jì)算機(jī)技術(shù)主要是強(qiáng)調(diào)技術(shù)，而喬布斯則率先關(guān)注了設(shè)計(jì)以及使用的便捷性，這也為他在后來推出產(chǎn)品的特性奠定了基礎(chǔ)。在他心目當(dāng)中，電腦應(yīng)該是一款優(yōu)雅、簡潔并且可以輕松方便地用來了解世界的時尚產(chǎn)品，而大眾應(yīng)該人手一份，同時可以用它來做任何事情。喬布斯在2010年1月發(fā)布iPad時，在演說收尾時指出：“單靠科技是遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)不夠的，必需要讓科技與人文科學(xué)以及人性相結(jié)合，其成果必需能夠讓用戶產(chǎn)生共鳴?！边@段臺詞對于科技業(yè)的領(lǐng)袖來說十分不可思議，但是如果了解了喬布斯的背景的話，這也不難理解他為何會如此表述了。

他將自己把不同行業(yè)和學(xué)科集成的思維歸功于自己關(guān)注細(xì)節(jié)。他表示，“為 了讓自己能夠睡個好覺，我必須確保所有產(chǎn)品的外觀美學(xué)、設(shè)備質(zhì)量都必須一絲不茍地完成?！彼陂_發(fā)第一臺麥金塔電腦的時候曾經(jīng)強(qiáng)烈要求電腦不能內(nèi)置冷卻扇，以確保電腦運(yùn)行的時候能夠足夠安靜——他將用戶的需求凌駕于了工程設(shè)計(jì)之上。他還曾經(jīng)命令一位蘋果的工程師花一個周末的時間加班解決iPhone的屏幕上一個字母的顏色不顯示精確的問題。同時他還會經(jīng)常自己撰寫或者修改蘋果的廣告文字。

喬布斯在公眾場合上是一個如禪宗一般神秘的人物。他是一個專制而脾氣暴躁的經(jīng)理人。但是他是有狂妄的本錢的。他在評估和開發(fā)潛在新產(chǎn)品的時候總是拒絕使用市場調(diào)研以及觀察機(jī)構(gòu)，而更樂意相信他自己的直覺。他表示：“很多情況下，人們在見到一件新事物之前是很難說出自己到底想要什么的。”而他的觀點(diǎn)在大多數(shù)情況下毫無疑問是正確的：在他的職業(yè)生涯中，他的成功遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)超過了失敗。一位蘋果的早期員工稱喬布斯擁有“屏蔽現(xiàn)實(shí)”的本領(lǐng)，以便追尋自己的內(nèi)心直覺，但是最終他卻能夠改變現(xiàn)實(shí)，通過魔法般的手段重塑了電腦與音樂、通訊以及媒體的關(guān)系。喬布斯在年輕的時候曾經(jīng)表示“希望能夠做出一番讓宇宙為之一震的事業(yè)。”而他也的確做到了。

No doubt，it’s your life and you have every right to spend it in your own individual way without any hurdles or barriers from others。Give yourself a chance to nurture your creative qualities in a fear-free and pressure-free climate。Live a life that YOU choose and be your own boss。你是否已經(jīng)厭倦了為別人而活?不要猶豫，這是你的生活，你擁有絕對的自主權(quán)來決定如何生活，不要被其他人的所作所為所束縛。給自己一個培養(yǎng)自己創(chuàng)造力的機(jī)會，不要害怕，不要擔(dān)心。過自己選擇的生活，做自己的老板!

8) Reams of academic studies over the decades have amply confirmed television’s pernicious mental and moral influences。And most TV watchers know that their habit is mind-numbing and wasteful，but still spend most of their time in front of that box。So turn your TV off and save some brain cells。But be cautious，you can turn your brain off by using a computer also。Try and have an intelligent conversation with someone who plays first person shooters for eight hours a day。Or auto race games，or role-playing games。過去十年中，大量的理論研究表明，電視對人的精神和心智是有害的。大多數(shù)電視觀眾都知道這個壞習(xí)慣會浪費(fèi)時間并且使大腦變得遲鈍，但是他們還是選擇呆在電視機(jī)前面。關(guān)掉電視吧，給自己省點(diǎn)腦細(xì)胞。還有，電腦也會讓你的大腦秀逗，不信的話你去跟那些一天花小時玩第一視角設(shè)計(jì)游戲、汽車?yán)τ螒颉⒔巧缪萦螒虻娜肆牧目?，你也會得出這個結(jié)論的。

9) Have the courage to follow your heart and intuition。They somehow already know what you truly want to become。Everything else is secondary。要有勇氣追隨心聲，聽從直覺，它們在某種程度上知道你想成為的樣子。其他事情都是其次的。

10) My model for business is the Beatles。They were four guys who kept each other’s kind of negative tendencies in check。They balanced each other，and the total was greater than the sum of the parts。That’s how I see business：Great things in business are never done by one person。They’re done by a team of people。我的商業(yè)模式是披頭士那種模式。這四個家伙互相之間檢查是否有消極的趨勢。他們能夠平衡彼此，讓總體大于部分之和。這就是我對經(jīng)營的看法：偉大的業(yè)務(wù)絕不會是由某一個人完成的。它們是由一組人來完成。

11) Each lesson might be difficult to integrate into your life at first，but if you ease your way into each lesson，one at a time，you’ll notice an immediate improvement in your overall performance。So go ahead，give them a try。以上每句話，剛開始也許很難真正滲透入你的生活，以上每句話，剛開始也許很難真正滲透入你的生活，但是如果你慢慢吸收這些教訓(xùn)，每次領(lǐng)悟一句話，是如果你慢慢吸收這些教訓(xùn)，每次領(lǐng)悟一句話，慢慢的你將會發(fā)現(xiàn)一個全新的自我。不要躊躇不前，試試看。你將會發(fā)現(xiàn)一個全新的自我。不要躊躇不前，試試看。

12) Being the richest man in the cemetery doesn’t matter to me…Going to bed at night saying we’ve done something wonderful…that’s what matters to me。是否能成為墓地里最富有的人，對我而言無足輕重。重要的是，當(dāng)我晚上睡覺時，我可以說：我們今天完成了一些美妙的事。

13) I think death is the most wonderful invention of life。It purges the system of these old models that are obsolete。我認(rèn)為死亡是生命最美妙的發(fā)明，因?yàn)樗宄诉@些老款的已經(jīng)過時了的系統(tǒng)。

14) Innovation has no limits。The only limit is your imagination。It’s time for you to begin thinking out of the box。If you are involved in a growing industry，think of ways to become more efficient;more customer friendly; and easier to do business with。If you are involved in a shrinking industry – get out of it quick and change before you become obsolete; out of work; or out of business。And remember that procrastination is not an option here。Start innovating now!創(chuàng)新無極限!只要敢想，沒有什么不可能，立即跳出思維的框框吧。如果你正處于一個上升的朝陽行業(yè)，那么嘗試去尋找更有效的解決方案：更招消費(fèi)者喜愛、更簡潔的商業(yè)模式。如果你處于一個日漸萎縮的行業(yè)，那么趕緊在自己變得跟不上時代之前抽身而出，去換個工作或者轉(zhuǎn)換行業(yè)。不要拖延，立刻開始創(chuàng)新!

15) 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 other’s 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。你的時間有限，所以不要為別人而活。不要被教條所限，不要活在別人的觀念里。不要讓別人的意見左右自己內(nèi)心的聲音。最重要的是，勇敢的去追隨自己的心靈和直覺，只有自己的心靈和直覺才知道你自己的真實(shí)想法，其他一切都是次要。

16) 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。死亡很可能是唯一的、最好的生命創(chuàng)造。它是生命的促變者。它送走老一代，給新一代開出道路。

17) Don’t equate making mistakes with being a mistake。There is no such thing as a successful person who has not failed or made mistakes，there are successful people who made mistakes and changed their lives or performance in response to them，and so got it right the next time。They viewed mistakes as warnings rather than signs of hopeless inadequacy。Never making a mistake means never living life to the full。犯錯誤不等于錯誤。從來沒有哪個成功的人沒有失敗過或者犯過錯誤，相反，成功的人都是犯了錯誤之后，做出改正，然后下次就不會再錯了，他們把錯誤當(dāng)成一個警告而不是萬劫不復(fù)的失敗。從不犯錯意味著從來沒有真正活過。

18) Over the last decade，numerous books featuring lessons from historical figures have appeared on the shelves of bookstores around the world。And Socrates stands with Leonardo da Vinci，Nicholas Copernicus，Charles Darwin and Albert Einstein as a beacon of inspiration for independent thinkers。But he came first。Cicero said of Socrates that，“He called philosophy down from the skies and into the lives of men。” So use Socrates’principles in your life，your work，your learning，and your relationships。It’s not about Socrates，it’s really about you，and how you can bring more truth，beauty and goodness into your life everyday。十幾年來，世界各地的書店里涌現(xiàn)出海量的關(guān)于歷史人物的書籍。這些人物包括蘇格拉底、達(dá)芬奇、哥白尼、達(dá)爾文以及愛因斯坦，他們被稱為人們靈感的燈塔，而蘇格拉底排在第一位。西塞羅評價蘇格拉底說：“他把哲學(xué)從高高在上的學(xué)科變得與人休戚相關(guān)?！卑烟K格拉底的原則運(yùn)用到你的生活、工作、學(xué)習(xí)以及人及關(guān)系上吧，這不是關(guān)于蘇格拉底，這是關(guān)于你自己，以及關(guān)于你如何給你每天的生活帶來更多的真善美。

19) Did you know that you have big things to accomplish in life? And did you know that those big things are getting rather dusty while you pour yourself another cup of coffee，and decide to mull things over rather than do them? We were all born with a gift to give in life，one which informs all of our desires，interests，passions and curiosities。This gift is，in fact，our purpose。And you don’t need permission to decide your own purpose。No boss，teacher，parent，priest or other authority can decide this for you。Just find that unique purpose。你是否知道在你的生命中，有什么使命是一定要達(dá)成的?你知不知道在你喝一杯咖啡或者做些無意義事情的時候，這些使命又蒙上了一層灰塵?我們生來就隨身帶著一件東西，這件東西指示著我們的渴望、興趣、熱情以及好奇心，這就是使命。你不需要任何權(quán)威來評斷你的使命，沒有任何老板、老師、父母、牧師以及任何權(quán)威可以幫你來決定。你需要靠你自己來尋找這個獨(dú)特的使命。

20) I end up not buying a lot of things，because I find them ridiculous。我最終并沒有買很多東西，因?yàn)槲矣X得它們很可笑。

21) It is the kind of mind that can see things as they are，which step by step and in a flash can realize the original nature of everything。Beginner’s mind is Zen practice in action。It is the mind that is innocent of preconceptions and expectations，judgements and prejudices。Think of beginner’s mind as the mind that faces life like a small child，full of curiosity and wonder and amazement。不要迷惑于表象而要洞察事務(wù)的本質(zhì)，初學(xué)者的心態(tài)是行動派的禪宗。所謂初學(xué)者的心態(tài)是指，不要無端猜測、不要期望、不要武斷也不要偏見。初學(xué)者的心態(tài)正如一個新生兒面對這個世界一樣，永遠(yuǎn)充滿好奇、求知欲、贊嘆。

22) Design is not just what it looks like and feels like。Design is how it works。設(shè)計(jì)不只是外表和感覺，設(shè)計(jì)是產(chǎn)品如何運(yùn)作。

喬布斯經(jīng)典語錄中英文5

1死亡很可能是唯一的、最好的生命創(chuàng)造。它是生命的促變者。它送走老一代，給新一代開出道路。

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。

2你不能只問顧客要什么，然后想法子給他們做什么。等你做出來，他們已經(jīng)另有新歡了。

You can't just ask customers what they want and then try to give that to them. By the time you get it built, they'll want something new.

Innovation distinguishes between a leader and a follower.

stay hungry , stay foolish.

5你如果出色地完成了某件事，那你應(yīng)該再做一些其他的精彩事兒。不要在前一件事上徘徊太久，想想接下來該做什么。

6你必須要找到你所愛的東西。

all products will leave apple store but cannot leave apple system,we have to help customers continued use of apple products, until died.

8活著就是為了改變世界，難道還有其他原因嗎？本文來自

We're here to put a dent in the universe. Otherwise why else even be here?

9你是否知道在你的生命中，有什么使命是一定要達(dá)成的？

你知不知道在你喝一杯咖啡或者做些無意義事情的時候，這些使命又蒙上了一層灰塵？

我們生來就隨身帶著一件東西，這件東西指示著我們的渴望、興趣、熱情以及好奇心，這就是使命。你不需要任何權(quán)威來評斷你的使命，沒有任何老板、老師、父母、牧師以及任何權(quán)威可以幫你來決定。你需要靠你自己來尋找這個獨(dú)特的使命。

Did you know that you have big things to accomplish in life? And did you know that those big things are getting rather dusty while you pour yourself another cup of coffee, and decide to mull things over rather than do them? We were all born with a gift to give in life, one which informs all of our desires, interests, passions and curiosities. This gift is, in fact, our purpose. And you don't need permission to decide your own purpose. No boss, teacher, parent, priest or other authority can decide this for you. Just find that unique purpose.

10比別人少用一條線獲得更低的工藝成本，比別人提供多一種價值認(rèn)同并獲得更高的利潤，這就是蘋果。

less than others with a line acquire lower process cost more than others, and provide a kind of value identification and obtain more profits, this is an apple.

11任何一款產(chǎn)品都不應(yīng)該帶著BUG去見用戶，那怕失信于媒體推遲發(fā)布時間。

any product are not should bring a BUG to meet users, that is afraid to betray media postpone the release of time.

12要有勇氣追隨心聲，聽從直覺，它們在某種程度上知道你想成為的樣子。其他事情都是其次的。

13你是否已經(jīng)厭倦了為別人而活？不要猶豫，這是你的生活，你擁有絕對的自主權(quán)來決定如何生活，不要被其他人的所作所為所束縛。

給自己一個培養(yǎng)自己創(chuàng)造力的機(jī)會，不要害怕，不要擔(dān)心。過自己選擇的生活，做自己的老板！

Are you tired of living someone else's dream? No doubt, it's your life and you have every right to spend it in your own inpidual way without any hurdles or barriers from others. Give yourself a chance to nurture your creative qualities in a fear-free and pressure-free climate. Live a life that YOU choose and be your own boss.

14 “我把這段話濃縮為：“做我所愛”。去尋找一個能給你的生命帶來意義、價值和讓你感覺充實(shí)的事業(yè)。

擁有使命感和目標(biāo)感才能給生命帶來意義、價值和充實(shí)。

這不僅對你的健康和壽命有益處，而且即使在你處于困境的時候你也會感覺良好。

在每周一的早上，你能不能利索的爬起來并且對工作日充滿期待？如果不能，那么你得重新去尋找。

你會感覺得到你是不是真的找到了。

I've got it down to four words: “Do what you love.” Seek out an occupation that gives you a sense of meaning, direction and satisfaction in life. Having a sense of purpose and striving towards goals gives life meaning, direction and satisfaction. It not only contributes to health and longevity, but also makes you feel better in difficult times. Do you jump out of bed on Monday mornings and look forward to the work week? If the answer is 'no', keep looking, you'll know when you find it.

15不要迷惑于表象而要洞察事務(wù)的本質(zhì)，初學(xué)者的心態(tài)是行動派的禪宗。

所謂初學(xué)者的心態(tài)是指，不要無端猜測、不要期望、不要武斷也不要偏見。

初學(xué)者的心態(tài)正如一個新生兒面對這個世界一樣，永遠(yuǎn)充滿好奇、求知欲、贊嘆。

16 IBM Thinkpad如果沒了小紅點(diǎn)，那它就不是Thinkpad。MACBook如果加了小紅點(diǎn)，那它即不是IBM Thinkpad也不是蘋果MACBook了。

IBM Thinkpad if not a little red dot, it isn't Thinkpad. MACBook if added little red dots, that it is not IBM Thinkpad nor apple MACBook.

17品牌不是打上蘋果的標(biāo)志就是蘋果的品質(zhì)，打上蘋果的標(biāo)志也需要信心和對客戶的承諾。

brand is not playing apple logo is an apple quality，hit the apple logo also need confidence and commitment to customers.

18成功沒有捷徑。你必須把卓越轉(zhuǎn)變成你身上的一個特質(zhì)。

最大限度地發(fā)揮你的天賦、才能、技巧，把其他所有人甩在你后面。

高標(biāo)準(zhǔn)嚴(yán)格自己，把注意力集中在那些將會改變一切的細(xì)節(jié)上。

變得卓越并不艱難——從現(xiàn)在開始盡自己最大能力去做——你會發(fā)現(xiàn)生活將給你驚人的回報(bào)。

There is no shortcut to excellence. You will have to make the commitment to make excellence your priority. Use your talents, abilities, and skills in the best way possible and get ahead of others by giving that little extra. Live by a higher standard and pay attention to the details that really do make the difference. Excellence is not difficult - simply decide right now to give it your best shot - and you will be amazed with what life gives you back.

19你的時間有限，不要浪費(fèi)于重復(fù)別人的生活。不要讓別人的觀點(diǎn)淹沒了你內(nèi)心的聲音。

Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life.…Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice.

20讓團(tuán)隊(duì)中那些說“不可能”的人感到實(shí)現(xiàn)不了是可恥的。

let team for those who say“impossible” people feel not achieve them is shameful.

21我愿意用我所有的科技去換取和蘇格拉底相處的一個下午。

I would trade all of my technology for an afternoon with Socrates.

22成為卓越的代名詞并不是因?yàn)樗卸嗝绰斆?，而在于他有多么勤勞?/p>

become the pronoun of not because of his remarkable how clever, but that he is how diligent.

23團(tuán)隊(duì)中那些想用Keynote（蘋果的PPT）來證明自己的人只能說明你不行，請拿出解決方案。

team of people who want to use Keynote to prove themselves only shows that you can, please take out the solution.

24把標(biāo)志畫那么大干嗎？蘋果的產(chǎn)品要在任何時候都讓人一眼認(rèn)出是蘋果的產(chǎn)品而非是蘋果的標(biāo)志。

the sign painting so big? Apple products will at any time those who make a person recognized apple's products rather than is the apple logo.

25產(chǎn)品設(shè)計(jì)時的所有功能都是一個整體，不應(yīng)該有任何理由去砍功能，破壞整體性。

product design all the functions are a whole, should not have any reason to cut function, destroy unity.

26謹(jǐn)記自己總會死去，是讓自己避免陷入“人生有所失”思考的最佳方法。

Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose.

27領(lǐng)袖和跟風(fēng)者的區(qū)別就在于創(chuàng)新，你的時間有限，所以不要像亞洲人那樣，浪費(fèi)在模仿別人這種事上。

a leader and a follower innovation distinguishes between,your time is limited, so don't like asians that,wasted in imitate others this kind of things.

28帶著責(zé)任感生活，嘗試為這個世界帶來點(diǎn)有意義的事情，為更高尚的事情做點(diǎn)貢獻(xiàn)。

這樣你會發(fā)現(xiàn)生活更加有意義，生命不再枯燥。

需要我們?nèi)プ龅?事情很多。

告訴其他人你的計(jì)劃，不要鼓吹，也不要自以為是，更不能盲目狂熱，那樣只會把人們嚇跑，當(dāng)然，你也不要害怕成為榜樣，要抓住出頭的機(jī)會讓人們知道你的所作所為。

Live in a way that is ethically responsible. Try to make a difference in this world and contribute to the higher good. You'll find it gives more meaning to your life and it's a great antidote to boredom. There is always so much to be done. And talk to others about what you are doing. Don't preach or be self-righteous, or fanatical about it, that just puts people off, but at the same time, don't be shy about setting an example, and use opportunities that arise to let others know what you are doing.

29你的時間有限，所以不要為別人而活。

不要被教條所限，不要活在別人的觀念里。

不要讓別人的意見左右自己內(nèi)心的聲音。

最重要的是，勇敢的去追隨自己的心靈和直覺，只有自己的心靈和直覺才知道你自己的真實(shí)想法，其他一切都是次要。

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 other's 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.

30我是我所知道的唯一一個在一年中失去2.5億美元的人……這對我的成長很有幫助。

I'm the only person I know that's lost a quarter of a billion dollars in one year... It's very character-building.

31過去十年中，大量的理論研究表明，電視對人的精神和心智是有害的。

大多數(shù)電視觀眾都知道這個壞習(xí)慣會浪費(fèi)時間并且使大腦變得遲鈍，但是他們還是選擇呆在電視機(jī)前面。

關(guān)掉電視吧，給自己省點(diǎn)腦細(xì)胞。

還有，電腦也會讓你的大腦秀逗，不信的話你去跟那些一天花8小時玩第一視角設(shè)計(jì)游戲、汽車?yán)τ螒颉⒔巧缪萦螒虻娜肆牧目?，你也會得出這個結(jié)論的。

Reams of academic studies over the decades have amply confirmed television's pernicious mental and moral influences. And most TV watchers know that their habit is mind-numbing and wasteful, but still spend most of their time in front of that box. So turn your TV off and save some brain cells. But be cautious, you can turn your brain off by using a computer also. Try and have an intelligent conversation with someone who plays first person shooters for eight hours a day. Or auto race games, or role-playing games.

32有好的想法要堅(jiān)持，不要被其他人的觀點(diǎn)的噪聲掩蓋你真正的內(nèi)心的聲音。當(dāng)你的想法站不住時，立即大度的丟棄，這其實(shí)是更是一種堅(jiān)持。

have good ideas are going to insist, don't be others' opinion noise drown out your own inner voice. When your ideas stand, immediately magnanimous discard it is, and it is also a kind of persistence.

33成就一番偉業(yè)的唯一途徑就是熱愛自己的事業(yè)。如果你還沒能找到讓自己熱愛的事業(yè)，繼續(xù)尋找，不要放棄。跟隨自己的心，總有一天你會找到的。

34是否能成為墓地里最富有的人，對我而言無足輕重。重要的是，當(dāng)我晚上睡覺時，我可以說：我們今天完成了一些美妙的事。

Being the richest man in the cemetery doesn't matter to me ... Going to bed at night saying we've done something wonderful... that's what matters to me.

35并不是每個人都需要種植自己的糧食，也不是每個人都需要做自己穿的衣服，我們說著別人發(fā)明的語言，使用別人發(fā)明的數(shù)學(xué)……

我們一直在使用別人的成果。使用人類的已有經(jīng)驗(yàn)和知識來進(jìn)行發(fā)明創(chuàng)造是一件很了不起的事情。

You know, we don't grow most of the food we eat. We wear clothes other people make. We speak a language that other people developed. We use a mathematics that other people evolved... I mean, we're constantly taking things. It's a wonderful, ecstatic feeling to create something that puts it back in the pool of human experience and knowledge.

36佛教中有一句話：初學(xué)者的心態(tài)；擁有初學(xué)者的心態(tài)是件了不起的事情。

38東方佛學(xué)中有一句話：永遠(yuǎn)保持初學(xué)者的心態(tài)；擁有初學(xué)者的心態(tài)是件了不起的事情。

East: “there's a phrase in Buddhism,'beginner's never keep Have a beginner's mind is a wonderful thing.

39成為卓越的代名詞，很多人并不能適合需要杰出素質(zhì)的環(huán)境。

Be a yardstick of quality. Some people aren't used to an environment where excellence is expected.

40不要為別人而活，也不要為今天的自己而活，把今天的工作做好了，明天自然屬于你，薪水自然比別人高。

don't lived for others, also don't live for today's themselves, to do good work today，tomorrow natural belong to you, high salary nature than others.

41人生短暫，過著過著你就沒了，明白么？

Life is brief, and then you die, you know?

42創(chuàng)新無極限！只要敢想，沒有什么不可能，立即跳出思維的框框吧。

如果你正處于一個上升的朝陽行業(yè)，那么嘗試去尋找更有效的解決方案：更招消費(fèi)者喜愛、更簡潔的商業(yè)模式。

如果你處于一個日漸萎縮的行業(yè)，那么趕緊在自己變得跟不上時代之前抽身而出，去換個工作或者轉(zhuǎn)換行業(yè)。不要拖延，立刻開始創(chuàng)新！

Innovation has no limits. The only limit is your imagination. It's time for you to begin thinking out of the box. If you are involved in a growing industry, think of ways to become more efficient; more customer friendly; and easier to do business with. If you are involved in a shrinking industry – get out of it quick and change before you become obsolete; out of work; or out of business. And remember that procrastination is not an option here.

44不要小看ipod上的一顆按鈕，它和別人不一樣的是我們做了21個方案、84000次測試、57次改進(jìn)，用戶的滿意源于不必要的堅(jiān)持。

don't look down upon a single button on the ipod, it and others are different is that we did 21 scheme, 84,000 times test, 57 times improvement, the satisfaction of customers from unnecessary insists

45決不、決不、決不、決不放棄！

Never, never, never, never give up.

46十幾年來，世界各地的書店里涌現(xiàn)出海量的關(guān)于歷史人物的書籍。

這些人物包括蘇格拉底、達(dá)芬奇、哥白尼、達(dá)爾文以及愛因斯坦，他們被稱為人們靈感的燈塔，而蘇格拉底排在第一位。

西塞羅評價蘇格拉底說：“他把哲學(xué)從高高在上的學(xué)科變得與人休戚相關(guān)?！?/p>

把蘇格拉底的原則運(yùn)用到你的生活、工作、學(xué)習(xí)以及人及關(guān)系上吧，這不是關(guān)于蘇格拉底，這是關(guān)于你自己，以及關(guān)于你如何給你每天的生活帶來更多的真善美。

Over the last decade, numerous books featuring lessons from historical figures have appeared on the shelves of bookstores around the world. And Socrates stands with Leonardo da Vinci, Nicholas Copernicus, Charles Darwin and Albert Einstein as a beacon of inspiration for independent thinkers. But he came first. Cicero said of Socrates that, “He called philosophy down from the skies and into the lives of men.” So use Socrates' principles in your life, your work, your learning, and your relationships. It's not about Socrates, it's really about you, and how you can bring more truth, beauty and goodness into your life everyday.

47犯錯誤不等于錯誤。從來沒有哪個成功的人沒有失敗過或者犯過錯誤，相反，成功的人都是犯了錯誤之后，做出改正，然后下次就不會再錯了，他們把錯誤當(dāng)成一個警告而不是萬劫不復(fù)的失敗。從不犯錯意味著從來沒有真正活過。

Don't equate making mistakes with being a mistake. There is no such thing as a successful person who has not failed or made mistakes, there are successful people who made mistakes and changed their lives or performance in response to them, and so got it right the next time. They viewed mistakes as warnings rather than signs of hopeless inadequacy. Never making a mistake means never living life to the full.

48你想用賣糖水來度過余生，還是想要一個機(jī)會來改變世界？

Do you want to spend the rest of your life selling sugared water or do you want a chance to change the world？

49產(chǎn)品一定是讓人感覺最新，但堅(jiān)決不做小白鼠去嘗試前無古人的新產(chǎn)品。

22) You know， we don't grow most of the food we eat。 We wear clothes other people make。 We speak a language that other people developed。 We use a mathematics that other people evolved…… I mean， we're constantly taking things。 It's a wonderful， ecstatic feeling to create something that puts it back in the pool of human experience and knowledge。并不是每個人都需要種植自己的糧食，也不是每個人都需要做自己穿的衣服，我們說著別人發(fā)明的語言，使用別人發(fā)明的數(shù)學(xué)……我們一直在使用別人的成果。使用人類的已有經(jīng)驗(yàn)和知識來進(jìn)行發(fā)明創(chuàng)造是一件很了不起的事情。

23) 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 other's 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。你的時間有限，所以不要為別人而活。不要被教條所限，不要活在別人的觀念里。不要讓別人的意見左右自己內(nèi)心的聲音。最重要的是，勇敢的去追隨自己的心靈和直覺，只有自己的心靈和直覺才知道你自己的真實(shí)想法，其他一切都是次要。

第五篇：喬布斯斯坦福大學(xué)演講中英文文本整理

喬布斯斯坦福大學(xué)演講

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 eighteen 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 seventeen 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 of how college was going to help me figure it out, and here I was, spending all 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 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-calligrapher.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 sans-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 personals 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.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 twenty.We worked hard and in ten years, Apple had grown from just the two of us in a garage into a $2 billion company with over 4,000 employees.We'd just released our finest creation, the Macintosh, a year earlier, and I'd just turned thirty, 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 thirty, 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'd 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 in 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 returned to Apple and the technology we developed at NeXT is at the heart of Apple's current renaissance, and Lorene 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's 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 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 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 thing 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 doctors' code for “prepare to die.” It means to try and tell your kids everything you thought you'd have the next ten years to tell them, in just a few months.It means to make sure that 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 doctor 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 am 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, 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 Catalogue, which was one of the bibles of my generation.It was created by a fellow named Stuart Brand not far from here in Menlo Park, and he brought it to life with his poetic touch.This was in the late Sixties, 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 thirty-five years before Google came along.It was idealistic, overflowing with neat tools and great notions.Stuart and his team put out several issues of the Whole Earth Catalogue, and then when it had run its course, they put out a final issue.It was the mid-Seventies 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 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.謝謝大家。很榮幸能和你們，來自世界最好大學(xué)之一的畢業(yè)生們，一塊兒參加畢業(yè)典禮。老實(shí)說，我大學(xué)沒有畢業(yè)，今天恐怕是我一生中離大學(xué)畢業(yè)最近的一次了。

今天，我想告訴大家來自我生活的三個故事。不是長篇大論，只是三個故事而已。

第一個故事，如何串連生命中的點(diǎn)滴。

我 在里得大學(xué)讀了六個月就退學(xué)了，但是在十八個月之后--我真正退學(xué)之前，我還常去學(xué)校。為何我要選擇退學(xué)呢？這還得從我出生之前說起。我的生母是一個年 輕、未婚的大學(xué)畢業(yè)生，她決定讓別人收養(yǎng)我。她有一個很強(qiáng)烈的信仰，認(rèn)為我應(yīng)該被一個大學(xué)畢業(yè)生家庭收養(yǎng)。于是，一對律師夫婦說好了要領(lǐng)養(yǎng)我，然而最后一 秒鐘，他們改變了主意，決定要個女孩兒。然后我的排在收養(yǎng)人名單中的養(yǎng)父母在一個深夜接到電話，“很意外，我們多了一個男嬰，你們要嗎？”“當(dāng)然要！”但 是我的生母后來又發(fā)現(xiàn)我的養(yǎng)母沒有大學(xué)畢業(yè)，養(yǎng)父連高中都沒有畢業(yè)。她拒絕在領(lǐng)養(yǎng)書上簽字。幾個月后，我的養(yǎng)父母保證會讓我上大學(xué)，她妥協(xié)了。

這 是我生命的開端。十七年后，我上大學(xué)了，但是我很無知地選了一所差不多和斯坦福一樣貴的學(xué)校，幾乎花掉我那藍(lán)領(lǐng)階層養(yǎng)父母一生的積蓄。六個月后，我覺得不 值得。我看不出自己以后要做什么，也不曉得大學(xué)會怎樣幫我指點(diǎn)迷津，而我卻在花銷父母一生的積蓄。所以我決定退學(xué)，并且相信沒有做錯。一開始非常嚇人，但 回憶起來，這卻是我一生中作的最好的決定之一。從我退學(xué)的那一刻起，我可以停止一切不感興趣的必修課，開始旁聽那些有意思得多的課。

事情并不那么美好。我沒有宿舍可住，睡在朋友房間的地上。為了吃飯，我收集五分一個的舊可樂瓶，每個星期天晚上步行七英里到哈爾-克里什納廟里改善一下一周的伙食。我喜歡這種生活方式。能夠遵循自己的好奇和直覺前行后來被證明是多么的珍貴。讓我來給你們舉個例子吧。

當(dāng) 時的里得大學(xué)提供可能是全國最好的書法指導(dǎo)。校園中每一張海報(bào)，抽屜上的每一張標(biāo)簽，都是漂亮的手寫體。由于我已退學(xué)，不用修那些必修課，我決定選一門書 法課上上。在這門課上，我學(xué)會了“serif”和“sans-serif”兩種字體、學(xué)會了怎樣在不同的字母組合中改變字間距、學(xué)會了怎樣寫出好的字來。這是一種科學(xué)無法捕捉的微妙，楚楚動人、充滿歷史底蘊(yùn)和藝術(shù)性，我覺得自己被完全吸引了。

當(dāng) 時我并不指望書法在以后的生活中能有什么實(shí)用價值。但是，十年之后，我們在設(shè)計(jì)第一臺 Macintosh 計(jì)算機(jī)時，它一下子浮現(xiàn)在我眼前。于是，我們把這些東西全都設(shè)計(jì)進(jìn)了計(jì)算機(jī)中。這是第一臺有這么漂亮的文字版式的計(jì)算機(jī)。要不是我當(dāng)初在大學(xué)里偶然選了這 么一門課，Macintosh 計(jì)算機(jī)絕不會有那么多種印刷字體或間距安排合理的字號。要不是 Windows 照搬了 Macintosh，個人電腦可能不會有這些字體和字號。要不是退了學(xué)，我決不會碰巧選了這門書法課，個人電腦也可能不會有現(xiàn)在這些漂亮的版式了。

當(dāng) 然，我在大學(xué)里不可能從這一點(diǎn)上看到它與將來的關(guān)系。十年之后再回頭看，兩者之間關(guān)系就非常、非常清楚了。你們同樣不可能從現(xiàn)在這個點(diǎn)上看到將來；只有回 頭看時，才會發(fā)現(xiàn)它們之間的關(guān)系。所以你必須相信，那些點(diǎn)點(diǎn)滴滴，會在你未來的生命里，以某種方式串聯(lián)起來。你必須相信一些東西--你的勇氣、宿命、生 活、因緣，隨便什么--因?yàn)橄嘈胚@些點(diǎn)滴能夠一路連接會給你帶來循從本覺的自信，它使你走離平凡，變得與眾不同。

第二個故事是關(guān)于愛與失的。

我 很幸運(yùn)。很早就發(fā)現(xiàn)自己喜歡做的事情。我二十歲的時候就和沃茨在父母的車庫里開創(chuàng)了蘋果公司。我們工作得很努力，十年后，蘋果公司成長為擁有四千名員工，價值二十億的大公司。我們只是推出了最好的創(chuàng)意，Macintosh操作系統(tǒng)，在這之前的一年，也就是我剛過三十歲，我被解雇了。你怎么可能被一個親手創(chuàng) 立的公司解雇？事情是這樣的，在公司成長期間，雇傭了一個我們認(rèn)為非常聰明，可以和我一起經(jīng)營公司的人。一年后，我們對公司未來的看法產(chǎn)生分歧，董事會站 在了他的一邊。于是，在我三十歲的時候，我出局了，很公開地出局了。我整個成年生活的焦點(diǎn)沒了，這很要命。一開始的幾個月我真的不知道該干什么。我覺得我 讓公司的前一代創(chuàng)建者們失望了，我把傳給我的權(quán)杖給弄丟了。我與戴維德-帕珂德和鮑勃-諾埃斯見面，試圖為這徹頭徹尾的失敗道歉。我敗得如此之慘以至于我 想要逃離這兒。有些東西在呼喚我：我還愛著我從事的行業(yè)。這次失敗一點(diǎn)兒都沒有改變這一點(diǎn)。我被逐了，但我仍愛著。我決定重新開始。

當(dāng) 時我沒有看出來，但事實(shí)證明“被蘋果開除”是發(fā)生在我身上最好的事。成功的重?fù)?dān)被重新起步的輕松替代，對任何事情都不再特別看重。這讓我感覺如此自由，進(jìn) 入一生中最有創(chuàng)造力的階段。接下來的五年，我創(chuàng)立了一個叫NeXT的公司，接著又建立了Pixar，然后與后來成為我妻子的女人相愛。Pixar出品了世 界第一個電腦動畫電影：“玩具總動員”，現(xiàn)在它已經(jīng)是世界最成功的動畫制作工作室了。

在一系列的成功運(yùn)轉(zhuǎn)后，蘋果收購了NeXT，我又回到了蘋果。我們在NeXT開發(fā)的技術(shù)在蘋果的復(fù)興中起了核心作用，另外勞琳和我組建了一個幸福的家庭。

我 非常確信，如果我沒有被蘋果炒掉，這些就都不會發(fā)生。這個藥的味道太糟了，但是我想病人需要它。有些時候，生活會給你迎頭一棒。不要喪失信心。我確信唯一 讓我一路走下來的是我對自己所做事情的熱愛。你必須去找你熱愛的東西，對工作如此，對你的愛人也是這樣的。工作會占據(jù)你生命中很大的一部分，你只有相信自 己做的是偉大的工作，你才能怡然自得。如果你還沒有找到，那么就繼續(xù)找，不要停。全心全意地找，當(dāng)你找到時，你會知道的。就像任何真誠的關(guān)系，隨著時間的 流逝，只會越來越緊密。所以繼續(xù)找，不要停。

我的第三個故事關(guān)于死亡。

我 十七歲的時候讀到過一句話“如果你把每一天都當(dāng)作最后一天過，有一天你會發(fā)現(xiàn)你是正確的”。這句話給我留下了深刻的印象。從那以后，過去的三十三年，每天 早上我都會對著鏡子問自己：“如果今天是我的最后一天，我會不會做我想做的事情呢？”當(dāng)答案持續(xù)否定一些次數(shù)后，我知道我需要改變一些東西了。提醒自己就 要死了是我遇見的最大的幫助，幫我作了生命中的大決定。因?yàn)閹缀跞魏问隆械臉s耀、驕傲、對難堪和失敗的恐懼——在死亡面前都會消隱，留下真正重要的 東西。提醒自己就要死亡是我知道的最好的方法，用來避開擔(dān)心失去某些東西的陷阱。你已經(jīng)赤裸裸了，沒有理由不聽從于自己的心愿。

大 約一年前，我被診斷出患了癌癥。我早上七點(diǎn)半作了掃描，清楚地顯示在我的胰腺有一個腫瘤。我當(dāng)時都不知道胰腺是什么東西。醫(yī)生們告訴我這幾乎是無法治愈 的，還有三到六個月的時間。我的醫(yī)生建議我回家，整理一切。在醫(yī)生的辭典中，這就是“準(zhǔn)備死亡”的意思。就是意味著把要對你小孩說十年的話在幾個月內(nèi)說 完；意味著把所有東西搞定，盡量讓你的家庭活得輕松一點(diǎn)；意味著你要說“永別”了。

我 整日都想著那診斷書的事情。后來有天晚上我做了一個活切片檢查，他們將一個內(nèi)窺鏡伸進(jìn)我的喉嚨，穿過胃，到達(dá)腸道，用一根針在我的胰腺腫瘤上取了幾個細(xì) 胞。我當(dāng)時是被麻醉的，但是我的妻子告訴我，那些醫(yī)生在顯微鏡下看到細(xì)胞的時候開始尖叫，因?yàn)榘l(fā)現(xiàn)這竟然是一種非常罕見的可用手術(shù)治愈的胰腺癌癥。我做了 手術(shù)，現(xiàn)在，我痊愈了。

這 是我最接近死亡的時候，我也希望是我未來幾十年里最接近死亡的一次。這次死里逃生讓我比以往只知道死亡是一個有用而純粹書面概念的時候更確信地告訴你們，沒有人愿意死，即使那些想上天堂的人們也不愿意通過死亡來達(dá)到他們的目的。但是死亡是每個人共同的終點(diǎn)，沒有人能夠逃脫。也應(yīng)該如此，因?yàn)樗劳龊芸赡苁巧?命最好的發(fā)明。它去陳讓新?，F(xiàn)在，你們就是“新”。但是有一天，不用太久，你們有會慢慢變老然后死去。抱歉，這很戲劇性，但卻是真的。你們的時間是有限 的，不要浪費(fèi)在重復(fù)別人的生活上。不要被教條束縛，那意味著會和別人思考的結(jié)果一塊兒生活。不要被其他人的喧囂觀點(diǎn)掩蓋自己內(nèi)心真正的聲音。你的直覺和內(nèi) 心知道你想要變成什么樣子。所有其他東西都是次要的。

我 年輕的時候，有一份叫做“完整地球目錄”的好雜志，是我們這一代人的圣經(jīng)之一。它是一個叫斯糾華特-布蘭得，住在離這不遠(yuǎn)的曼羅公園的家伙創(chuàng)立的。他用詩 一般的觸覺將這份雜志帶到世界。那是六十年代后期，個人電腦出現(xiàn)之前，所以這份雜志全是用打字機(jī)、剪刀和偏光鏡制作的。有點(diǎn)像軟皮包裝的Google，不 過卻早了三十五年。它理想主義，全文充斥著靈巧的工具和偉大的想法。斯糾華特和他的小組出版了幾期“完整地球目錄”，在完成使命之前，他們出版了最后一 期。那是七十年代中期，我和你們差不多大。最后一期的封底是一張清晨鄉(xiāng)村小路的照片，如果你有冒險(xiǎn)精神，可以自己找到這條路。下面有一句話，“求知若渴，虛心若谷”。這是他們的告別語，“求知若渴，虛心若谷”。我常以此勉勵自己?，F(xiàn)在，在你們即將踏上新旅程的時候，我也希望你們能這樣。

求知若渴，虛心若谷。
