You've got to find what you love the Commencement address by Steve Jobs, CEO of Apple Computer and of Pixar Animation Studios No big deal connecting the dots.trust that it would all work out OK much of what I stumbled into by following my curiosity and intuition turned out to be priceless later on None of this had even a hope of any practical application in my life 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 What had been the focus of my entire adult life was gone, and it was devastating I'd been rejected but I was still in love 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.If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you'll most certainly be right You are already naked.There is no reason not to follow your heart.death is the destination we all share.No one has ever escaped it 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 if you were so adventurous.Beneath were the words, "Stay hungry, stay foolish

喬布斯斯坦福大學(xué)演講

蘋果公司的創(chuàng)業(yè)經(jīng)歷令人震撼，史蒂芬喬布斯有自己的成功學(xué)。史蒂芬喬布斯在斯坦福大學(xué)的演講中就為學(xué)生們談到自己的創(chuàng)業(yè)歷程以及自己成功的一些感觸。下面讓我們一起通過以下的史蒂芬喬布斯演講稿來(lái)領(lǐng)悟。史蒂夫喬布斯斯坦福大學(xué)畢業(yè)典禮上演講

一定要找到你熱愛的

我很榮幸能在今天與你們一起參加一個(gè)世界上最優(yōu)秀的大學(xué)的畢業(yè)典禮。我從來(lái)沒有從大學(xué)畢業(yè)。說實(shí)話，今天是我最離大學(xué)畢業(yè)最近的一次。今天，我想給你們講我生活中的三個(gè)故事。就是這樣。沒什么大不了的。只是三個(gè)故事。

第一個(gè)故事是關(guān)于把我生活中過去的點(diǎn)點(diǎn)滴滴聯(lián)系起來(lái)。

在過了最初的六個(gè)月后，我便從Reed學(xué)院輟學(xué)了。但是，在我真正離開那里前，我又呆了大約18個(gè)月。我為什么輟學(xué)呢?

這一切在我出生前就開始了。我的親生母親是一個(gè)年輕的未婚大學(xué)生。她決定把我送給別人收養(yǎng)。她堅(jiān)持認(rèn)為，我應(yīng)該被有大學(xué)學(xué)歷的人收養(yǎng)。所以，一切本來(lái)都已經(jīng)安排好了，我將會(huì)被一個(gè)律師和他的妻子收養(yǎng)。但是當(dāng)我出生以后，律師夫婦在最后一分鐘決定他們真正想要的是一個(gè)女孩。所以，我的養(yǎng)父母，本來(lái)是在等候的名單上的。他們?cè)诎胍菇拥搅艘粋€(gè)電話，“我們有一個(gè)意料之外的男嬰。你們想要他嗎?”他們回答說：“當(dāng)然。”我的親生母親后來(lái)發(fā)現(xiàn)我的養(yǎng)母從來(lái)沒有從大學(xué)畢業(yè)，而我的養(yǎng)父高中都沒有畢業(yè)。她拒絕在最終的領(lǐng)養(yǎng)文件上簽字。過了幾個(gè)月后，我的養(yǎng)父母向她保證我將來(lái)會(huì)上大學(xué)后，她才同意了。

17年后，我確實(shí)上大學(xué)了。但是我天真的選擇了一個(gè)幾乎和斯坦福一樣昂貴的學(xué)院。我工薪階層的父母的所有積蓄都花在了我的學(xué)費(fèi)上。六個(gè)月后，我看不到這有任何價(jià)值。我不知道我的一生想要做什么。我不知道大學(xué)如何能幫我找到這一問題的答案。而且我在這里花費(fèi)著我父母一生所有的積蓄。所以，我決定輟學(xué)，而且相信所有的這一切都會(huì)解決的。在當(dāng)時(shí)，這個(gè)決定是非常令人害怕的。但是，回過頭來(lái)看，這是我做過的最好的決定之一。在我輟學(xué)的那一刻，我可以不再去上我不感興趣的課程，而去上那些看起來(lái)有趣的課程。

這并不浪漫。我沒有宿舍，所以我睡在了朋友房間的地板上。我回收可樂瓶，用得到的5美分買吃的。我會(huì)在每星期天晚上步行7英里穿過城市到HareKrishna寺廟去好好吃一頓。我喜歡那的飯。我憑著好奇心與直覺所遇到的一切，很大一部分在后來(lái)被證明是無(wú)比珍貴的。讓我給你們舉一個(gè)例子：

那時(shí)，Reed學(xué)院提供了當(dāng)時(shí)可能是全國(guó)最好的書法課程。在校園里，每一個(gè)海報(bào)，每一個(gè)抽屜上的標(biāo)簽都是優(yōu)美的手寫字。因?yàn)槲逸z學(xué)了，不用再去上正常的課程，我決定上書法課，去學(xué)學(xué)如何寫書法。我學(xué)會(huì)了serif和sanserif字體，學(xué)會(huì)了改變不同字母組合間的間隔，知道了是什么使字體變得優(yōu)美。這一切都很優(yōu)美，有歷史感，具有科學(xué)無(wú)法獲得的藝術(shù)的精巧。我發(fā)現(xiàn)這一切令人著迷。

對(duì)書法的學(xué)習(xí)看起來(lái)沒有任何機(jī)會(huì)在我的一生中得到實(shí)際的應(yīng)用。但是，10年后，當(dāng)我們?cè)O(shè)計(jì)第一臺(tái)Macintosh電腦時(shí)，這一切就又重現(xiàn)了。我們把字體的設(shè)計(jì)都放入了Mac，第一個(gè)有著優(yōu)美字體的電腦。如果我沒有在學(xué)校學(xué)書法課程，Mac就不可能有多種字體或者按適當(dāng)比例間隔的字體。因?yàn)閃indows只是照搬了Mac，有可能沒有任何個(gè)人電腦會(huì)有這樣的字體。如果我沒有輟學(xué)，我就不會(huì)選那個(gè)書法課程，個(gè)人電腦就有可能沒有今天這樣優(yōu)美的字體。當(dāng)然，當(dāng)我在大學(xué)時(shí)，把我當(dāng)時(shí)的一點(diǎn)一滴串起來(lái)并不能預(yù)測(cè)到我后來(lái)的結(jié)果。但是，當(dāng)10年后再回頭看，這一切非常，非常清楚。

當(dāng)然，你不能把事情聯(lián)系在一起而預(yù)測(cè)未來(lái)。你只能回過頭來(lái)再把它們聯(lián)系起來(lái)。所以，你一定要相信那些點(diǎn)點(diǎn)滴滴在將來(lái)一定會(huì)以某種形式聯(lián)系起來(lái)。你一定要相信一些事情你的直覺、命運(yùn)、生命、因緣，無(wú)論是什么。這一方法從沒有讓我失望過。它對(duì)我的生活至關(guān)重要。

我的第二個(gè)故事是有關(guān)熱愛與失去。

我很幸運(yùn)，在生命中的最初階段就找到了自己熱愛做的事情。在我20歲的時(shí)候，Woz和我在我父母的車庫(kù)里創(chuàng)建了蘋果公司。我們非常努力。10年內(nèi)，蘋果從一個(gè)只有我們兩個(gè)人的車庫(kù)公司成長(zhǎng)到20億美金，有4000員工的公司。當(dāng)時(shí)我剛剛滿30歲，就在一年前，我們發(fā)布了我們最杰出的創(chuàng)造Macintosh。然后，我被解雇了。你怎么能被你自己創(chuàng)立的公司解雇呢?哎，當(dāng)蘋果公司逐漸發(fā)展，我們雇了一個(gè)我認(rèn)為非常有才華的人來(lái)和我一起運(yùn)作公司。第一年，都還不錯(cuò)。但是，隨后我們對(duì)未來(lái)的想法就開始有了分歧。最終我們鬧翻了。當(dāng)我們鬧翻的時(shí)候，董事會(huì)站在了他的一邊。結(jié)果是，我在30歲的時(shí)候被踢出了公司，而且是以盡人皆知的方式被踢出。我成年以來(lái)整個(gè)生活的中心沒有了，這是毀滅性的。

有幾個(gè)月的時(shí)間，我真的不知道做什么好。我覺得我辜負(fù)了把接力棒傳遞給我的上一代的創(chuàng)業(yè)者。我找到DavidPackard和BobNoyce并向他們道歉，為我把事情搞得如此之糟道歉。我是一個(gè)眾所周知的失敗。我甚至想到從硅谷逃走。但是慢慢的我才開始意識(shí)到我仍舊熱愛我所作的事情。在蘋果所發(fā)生的事情絲毫沒有改變這一點(diǎn)。我被拒絕了，但是，我仍舊愛著。所以，我決定重新開始。

在那時(shí)我并沒有認(rèn)識(shí)到，但是實(shí)際上，被蘋果解雇是對(duì)我來(lái)說最好的事情。成功所帶來(lái)的沉重感被重新開始，對(duì)一切都不確定的輕松感所代替。這一切解放了我，讓我進(jìn)入了一生中最有創(chuàng)造性的一段時(shí)間。

之后的5年，我創(chuàng)辦了一家叫NeXT的公司和另外一家叫Pixar的公司，還愛上了一個(gè)非常好的女人，后來(lái)她成為了我的妻子。Pixar創(chuàng)造了世界上第一部電腦動(dòng)畫電影，玩具總動(dòng)員?，F(xiàn)在，Pixar是世界上最成功的動(dòng)畫工作室。在經(jīng)歷了種種起伏后蘋果買下了NeXT。我重返了蘋果。我們?cè)贜eXT發(fā)展的技術(shù)是蘋果目前復(fù)興的核心。Laurene和我有一個(gè)美好的家庭。

我相當(dāng)確信，如果我沒被蘋果解雇，這一切之中的任何事情都不會(huì)發(fā)生。這是一計(jì)苦藥，但是我想我這個(gè)病人需要它。有時(shí)候，生活象用板兒磚拍頭一樣打擊你。別失去信心。我深信當(dāng)時(shí)唯一讓我支持下去的原因就是我熱愛我所作的一切。你一定要找到你所熱愛的。這對(duì)你的事業(yè)是這樣，對(duì)你的愛人也是如此。你的事業(yè)將會(huì)占據(jù)你生活的很大一部分，你真正得到滿足的唯一途徑就是去做你堅(jiān)信是偉大的事業(yè)。而做偉大的事業(yè)的唯一途徑就是熱愛你所作的一切。如果你還沒有找到，繼續(xù)找。不要妥協(xié)。就像其他一切需要用心靈去感受的事物，當(dāng)你找到的時(shí)候，你會(huì)知道的。就象任何美滿的伴侶關(guān)系，隨著時(shí)間的推移，事情會(huì)變得更美好。所以，繼續(xù)找吧，直到你找到。不要妥協(xié)。

我的第三個(gè)故事是有關(guān)死亡的。

在我17歲的時(shí)候，我讀到一段話，大概是“如果你按照生活的每一天都好象是你生命的最后一天那樣活著，總有一天你會(huì)確信你的方向是對(duì)的?！边@句話給我留下了深刻的印象，從那以后，在之后的33年里，我每天早晨都會(huì)對(duì)著鏡子問自己“如果今天是我生命的最后一天，我還會(huì)去做我今天將要做的事情嗎?”而每當(dāng)連續(xù)幾天我的回答總是“不”時(shí)，我知道我需要做些改變。

記住很快我將離開人世，這是幫助我做重大決定的最重要的工具。因?yàn)閹缀跞魏问虑樗型饨绲钠谕?，所有的自尊，所有?duì)失敗或丟臉的恐懼在死亡面前都會(huì)煙消云散，只剩下那些真正重要的東西。記住你會(huì)死去，這是我所知的避免陷入患得患失的陷阱的最好的方式。你已經(jīng)赤條條無(wú)牽掛。你沒有任何原因不去追隨你的內(nèi)心。

一年前我被診斷為癌癥。早晨7點(diǎn)半我做了掃描。掃描清楚的顯示在我的胰臟上有一個(gè)腫瘤。我都不知道胰臟是什么。醫(yī)生們告訴我?guī)缀蹩梢钥隙ㄟ@類癌癥是無(wú)法治愈的。我應(yīng)該不會(huì)活過3到6個(gè)月。我的醫(yī)生建議我回家把后事準(zhǔn)備好，這也是醫(yī)生對(duì)準(zhǔn)備去死的說法。也就是在幾個(gè)月的時(shí)間里對(duì)你的孩子說所有的事情，那些你曾經(jīng)認(rèn)為你會(huì)有下一個(gè)10年的時(shí)間去說的一切。也就是說確保一切安頓停當(dāng)，讓你的家人盡可能的從容一些。也就是你的告別。

我?guī)е@一診斷結(jié)果生活了一整天。晚上，我做了活組織檢測(cè)。他們把內(nèi)窺鏡插下我的喉嚨，穿過我的胃，進(jìn)入腸子，用一根針穿入我的胰臟從腫瘤上提取一些細(xì)胞。我被麻醉了。但是我的妻子在現(xiàn)場(chǎng)。她告訴我，當(dāng)他們?cè)陲@微鏡下看過之后，醫(yī)生們喊叫起來(lái)。因?yàn)檫@原來(lái)是一種極為罕見形式的胰腺癌，可以通過手術(shù)治愈。我做了手術(shù)，現(xiàn)在我已經(jīng)沒事了。

這是我面臨死亡最近的一次。我希望這也是我今后幾十年內(nèi)最近的一次。經(jīng)歷過這一切，現(xiàn)在我可以更確信的對(duì)你說這一切，死亡不僅僅是一個(gè)有用但抽象的概念。

沒人希望死。即使是想進(jìn)入天堂的人們也不想通過死亡進(jìn)入那里。但是，死亡是我們共同的目的地。沒有人能逃脫。死亡就是這樣。因?yàn)樗劳鲆苍S是生命中最好的發(fā)明。它是生命改變的媒介。它清理老的，給新的讓出路?，F(xiàn)在，你們就是新的。但是，不久，你們會(huì)慢慢變成老的，然后被清理掉。原諒我這種非常直白的說法，但是，這是事實(shí)。

你的時(shí)間是有限的。所以不要浪費(fèi)你自己的時(shí)間去過別人的生活。不要被教條所禁錮，被動(dòng)接受別人思想的結(jié)果。不要讓他人意見的噪音蓋過你自己內(nèi)心的聲音。最重要的是，有勇氣去追隨你的內(nèi)心與直覺。你的內(nèi)心和直覺早已洞察了你真正想做的。其他的一切都不重要。

當(dāng)我年輕的時(shí)候，有一本優(yōu)秀的刊物叫The Whole Earth Catalog, 是我們那一代的圣經(jīng)之一。一個(gè)叫Stewart Branch的人在離這不遠(yuǎn)的Menlo Park用他詩(shī)人般的靈感創(chuàng)造了這一刊物。當(dāng)時(shí)是60年代末，還沒有個(gè)人電腦和桌面出版系統(tǒng)。所以，這本刊物全部是用打字機(jī)，剪刀和寶利來(lái)相機(jī)做出來(lái)的。這好像是紙上的Google,但在Google出現(xiàn)前35年：它是理想主義的，充滿了簡(jiǎn)潔的工具與偉大的想法。

Stewart和他的團(tuán)隊(duì)出版了幾期The Whole Earth Catalog。他們最終完成了自己的使命，出了最后一期刊物，時(shí)間是70年代中期。當(dāng)時(shí)我正處在你們的年紀(jì)。在刊物封底，是一幅清晨鄉(xiāng)間路的照片。如果你樂于冒險(xiǎn)搭便車旅行就會(huì)看到這一種景象。在照片下面有一句話“保持渴望。固執(zhí)愚見?！?“Stay Hungry.Stay Foolish.”)這是他們的告別語(yǔ)。保持渴望。固執(zhí)愚見。我一直這樣勉勵(lì)我自己?，F(xiàn)在，當(dāng)你們畢業(yè)，有新的開始，我同樣勉勵(lì)你們。

保持渴望。固執(zhí)愚見。

多謝你們!

第三篇：?jiǎn)滩妓顾固垢４髮W(xué)演講

于喬布斯，在2005年斯坦福大學(xué)的演講就是他最好的自傳。

你得找出你的所愛。

今天，有榮幸來(lái)到各位從世界上最好的學(xué)校之一畢業(yè)的畢業(yè)典禮上。我從來(lái)沒從大學(xué)畢業(yè)。說實(shí)話，這是我離大學(xué)畢業(yè)最近的一刻。今天，我只說三個(gè)故事，不談大道理，三個(gè)故事就好。

第一個(gè)故事，是關(guān)于人生中的點(diǎn)點(diǎn)滴滴怎么串連在一起。

我在里德學(xué)院（Reed college）待了六個(gè)月就辦休學(xué)了。到我退學(xué)前，一共休學(xué)了十八個(gè)月。那么，我為什么休學(xué)？

這得從我出生前講起。我的親生母親當(dāng)時(shí)是個(gè)研究生，年輕未婚媽媽，她決定讓別人收養(yǎng)我。她強(qiáng)烈覺得應(yīng)該讓有大學(xué)畢業(yè)的人收養(yǎng)我，所以我出生時(shí)，她就準(zhǔn)備讓我被一對(duì)律師夫婦收養(yǎng)。但是這對(duì)夫妻到了最后一刻反悔了，他們想收養(yǎng)女孩。所以在等待收養(yǎng)名單上的一對(duì)夫妻，我的養(yǎng)父母，在一天半夜里接到一通電話，問他們「有一名意外出生的男孩，你們要認(rèn)養(yǎng)他嗎？」而他們的回答是「當(dāng)然要」。后來(lái)，我的生母發(fā)現(xiàn)，我現(xiàn)在的媽媽從來(lái)沒有大學(xué)畢業(yè)，我現(xiàn)在的爸爸則連高中畢業(yè)也沒有。她拒絕在認(rèn)養(yǎng)文件上做最后簽字。直到幾個(gè)月后，我的養(yǎng)父母同意將來(lái)一定會(huì)讓我上大學(xué)，她才軟化態(tài)度。十七年后，我上大學(xué)了。但是當(dāng)時(shí)我無(wú)知選了一所學(xué)費(fèi)幾乎跟史丹佛一樣貴的大學(xué)，我那工人階級(jí)的父母所有積蓄都花在我的學(xué)費(fèi)上。六個(gè)月后，我看不出念這個(gè)書的價(jià)值何在。那時(shí)候，我不知道這輩子要干什么，也不知道念大學(xué)能對(duì)我有什么幫助，而且我為了念這個(gè)書，花光了我父母這輩子的所有積蓄，所以我決定休學(xué)，相信船到橋頭自然直。當(dāng)時(shí)這個(gè)決定看來(lái)相當(dāng)可怕，可是現(xiàn)在看來(lái)，那是我這輩子做過最好的決定之一。當(dāng)我休學(xué)之后，我再也不用上我沒興趣的必修課，把時(shí)間拿去聽那些我有興趣的課。

這一點(diǎn)也不浪漫。我沒有宿舍，所以我睡在友人家里的地板上，靠著回收可樂空罐的五先令退費(fèi)買吃的，每個(gè)星期天晚上得走七里的路繞過大半個(gè)鎮(zhèn)去印度教的 Hare Krishna神廟吃頓好料。我喜歡Hare Krishna神廟的好料。追尋我的好奇與直覺，我所駐足的大部分事物，后來(lái)看來(lái)都成了無(wú)價(jià)之寶。舉例來(lái)說：

當(dāng)時(shí)里德學(xué)院有著大概是全國(guó)最好的書法指導(dǎo)。在整個(gè)校園內(nèi)的每一張海報(bào)上，每個(gè)抽屜的標(biāo)簽上，都是美麗的手寫字。因?yàn)槲倚輰W(xué)了，可以不照正常選課程序來(lái)，所以我跑去學(xué)書法。我學(xué)了serif與san serif字體，學(xué)到在不同字母組合間變更字間距，學(xué)到活版印刷偉大的地方。書法的美好、歷史感與藝術(shù)感是科學(xué)所無(wú)法捕捉的，我覺得那很迷人。

我沒預(yù)期過學(xué)的這些東西能在我生活中起些什么實(shí)際作用，不過十年后，當(dāng)我在設(shè)計(jì)第一臺(tái)麥金塔時(shí)，我想起了當(dāng)時(shí)所學(xué)的東西，所以把這些東西都設(shè)計(jì)進(jìn)了麥金塔里，這是第一臺(tái)能印刷出漂亮東西的計(jì)算機(jī)。如果我沒沉溺于那樣一門課里，麥金塔可能就不會(huì)有多重字體跟變間距字體了。又因?yàn)閃indows抄襲了麥金塔的使用方式，如果當(dāng)年我沒這樣做，大概世界上所有的個(gè)人計(jì)算機(jī)都不會(huì)有這些東西，印不出現(xiàn)在我們看到的漂亮的字來(lái)了。當(dāng)然，當(dāng)我還在大學(xué)里時(shí)，不可能把這些點(diǎn)點(diǎn)滴滴預(yù)先串在一起，但是這在十年后回顧，就顯得非常清楚。

我再說一次，你不能預(yù)先把點(diǎn)點(diǎn)滴滴串在一起；唯有未來(lái)回顧時(shí)，你才會(huì)明白那些點(diǎn)點(diǎn)滴滴是如何串在一起的。所以你得相信，你現(xiàn)在所體會(huì)的東西，將來(lái)多少會(huì)連接在一塊。你得信任某個(gè)東西，直覺也好，命運(yùn)也好，生命也好，或者業(yè)力。這種作法從來(lái)沒讓我失望，也讓我的人生整個(gè)不同起來(lái)。

我的第二個(gè)故事，有關(guān)愛與失去。

我好運(yùn)－年輕時(shí)就發(fā)現(xiàn)自己愛做什么事。我二十歲時(shí)，跟Steve Wozniak在我爸媽的車庫(kù)里開始了蘋果計(jì)算機(jī)的事業(yè)。我們拼命工作，蘋果計(jì)算機(jī)在十年間從一間車庫(kù)里的兩個(gè)小伙子擴(kuò)展成了一家員工超過四千人、市價(jià)二十億美金的公司，在那之前一年推出了我們最棒的作品－麥金塔，而我才剛邁入人生的第三十個(gè)年頭，然后被炒魷魚。要怎么讓自己創(chuàng)辦的公司炒自己魷魚？好吧，當(dāng)蘋果計(jì)算機(jī)成長(zhǎng)后，我請(qǐng)了一個(gè)我以為他在經(jīng)營(yíng)公司上很有才干的家伙來(lái)，他在頭幾年也確實(shí)干得不錯(cuò)?？墒俏覀儗?duì)未來(lái)的愿景不同，最后只好分道揚(yáng)鑣，董事會(huì)站在他那邊，炒了我魷魚，公開把我請(qǐng)了出去。曾經(jīng)是我整個(gè)成年生活重心的東西不見了，令我不知所措。

有幾個(gè)月，我實(shí)在不知道要干什么好。我覺得我令企業(yè)界的前輩們失望－我把他們交給我的接力棒弄丟了。我見了創(chuàng)辦HP的David Packard跟創(chuàng)辦Intel的Bob Noyce，跟他們說我很抱歉把事情搞砸得很厲害了。我成了公眾的非常負(fù)面示范，我甚至想要離開硅谷。但是漸漸的，我發(fā)現(xiàn)，我還是喜愛著我做過的事情，在蘋果的日子經(jīng)歷的事件沒有絲毫改變我愛做的事。我被否定了，可是我還是愛做那些事情，所以我決定從頭來(lái)過。

當(dāng)時(shí)我沒發(fā)現(xiàn)，但是現(xiàn)在看來(lái)，被蘋果計(jì)算機(jī)開除，是我所經(jīng)歷過最好的事情。成功的沉重被從頭來(lái)過的輕松所取代，每件事情都不那么確定，讓我自由進(jìn)入這輩子最有創(chuàng)意的年代。

接下來(lái)五年，我開了一家叫做NeXT的公司，又開一家叫做Pixar的公司，也跟后來(lái)的老婆談起了戀愛。Pixar接著制作了世界上第一部全計(jì)算機(jī)動(dòng)畫電影，玩具總動(dòng)員，現(xiàn)在是世界上最成功的動(dòng)畫制作公司。然后，蘋果計(jì)算機(jī)買下了NeXT，我回到了蘋果，我們?cè)贜eXT發(fā)展的技術(shù)成了蘋果計(jì)算機(jī)后來(lái)復(fù)興的核心。我也有了個(gè)美妙的家庭。

我很確定，如果當(dāng)年蘋果計(jì)算機(jī)沒開除我，就不會(huì)發(fā)生這些事情。這帖藥很苦口，可是我想蘋果計(jì)算機(jī)這個(gè)病人需要這帖藥。有時(shí)候，人生會(huì)用磚頭打你的頭。不要喪失信心。我確信，我愛我所做的事情，這就是這些年來(lái)讓我繼續(xù)走下去的唯一理由。你得找出你愛的，工作上是如此，對(duì)情人也是如此。你的工作將填滿你的一大塊人生，唯一獲得真正滿足的方法就是做你相信是偉大的工作，而唯一做偉大工作的方法是愛你所做的事。如果你還沒找到這些事，繼續(xù)找，別停頓。盡你全心全力，你知道你一定會(huì)找到。而且，如同任何偉大的關(guān)系，事情只會(huì)隨著時(shí)間愈來(lái)愈好。所以，在你找到之前，繼續(xù)找，別停頓。

我的第三個(gè)故事，關(guān)于死亡。

當(dāng)我十七歲時(shí)，我讀到一則格言，好像是「把每一天都當(dāng)成生命中的最后一天，你就會(huì)輕松自在。」這對(duì)我影響深遠(yuǎn)，在過去33年里，我每天早上都會(huì)照鏡子，自問：「如果今天是此生最后一日，我今天要干些什么？」每當(dāng)我連續(xù)太多天都得到一個(gè)「沒事做」的答案時(shí)，我就知道我必須有所變革了。

提醒自己快死了，是我在人生中下重大決定時(shí)，所用過最重要的工具。因?yàn)閹缀趺考拢型饨缙谕?、所有名譽(yù)、所有對(duì)困窘或失敗的恐懼－在面對(duì)死亡時(shí)，都消失了，只有最重要的東西才會(huì)留下。提醒自己快死了，是我所知避免掉入自己有東西要失去了的陷阱里最好的方法。人生不帶來(lái)，死不帶去，沒什么道理不順心而為。

一年前，我被診斷出癌癥。我在早上七點(diǎn)半作斷層掃描，在胰臟清楚出現(xiàn)一個(gè)腫瘤，我連胰臟是什么都不知道。醫(yī)生告訴我，那幾乎可以確定是一種不治之癥，我大概活不到三到六個(gè)月了。醫(yī)生建議我回家，好好跟親人們聚一聚，這是醫(yī)生對(duì)臨終病人的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)建議。那代表你得試著在幾個(gè)月內(nèi)把你將來(lái)十年想跟小孩講的話講完。那代表你得把每件事情搞定，家人才會(huì)盡量輕松。那代表你得跟人說再見了。

我整天想著那個(gè)診斷結(jié)果，那天晚上做了一次切片，從喉嚨伸入一個(gè)內(nèi)視鏡，從胃進(jìn)腸子，插了根針進(jìn)胰臟，取了一些腫瘤細(xì)胞出來(lái)。我打了鎮(zhèn)靜劑，不醒人事，但是我老婆在場(chǎng)。她后來(lái)跟我說，當(dāng)醫(yī)生們用顯微鏡看過那些細(xì)胞后，他們都哭了，因?yàn)槟鞘欠浅Ｉ僖姷囊环N胰臟癌，可以用手術(shù)治好。所以我接受了手術(shù)，康復(fù)了。

這是我最接近死亡的時(shí)候，我希望那會(huì)繼續(xù)是未來(lái)幾十年內(nèi)最接近的一次。經(jīng)歷此事后，我可以比之前死亡只是抽象概念時(shí)要更肯定告訴你們下面這些： 沒有人想死。即使那些想上天堂的人，也想活著上天堂。但是死亡是我們共有的目的地，沒有人逃得過。這是注定的，因?yàn)樗劳龊?jiǎn)直就是生命中最棒的發(fā)明，是生命變化的媒介，送走老人們，給新生代留下空間?，F(xiàn)在你們是新生代，但是不久的將來(lái)，你們也會(huì)逐漸變老，被送出人生的舞臺(tái)。抱歉講得這么戲劇化，但是這是真的。

你們的時(shí)間有限，所以不要浪費(fèi)時(shí)間活在別人的生活里。不要被信條所惑－盲從信條就是活在別人思考結(jié)果里。不要讓別人的意見淹沒了你內(nèi)在的心聲。最重要的，擁有跟隨內(nèi)心與直覺的勇氣，你的內(nèi)心與直覺多少已經(jīng)知道你真正想要成為什么樣的人。任何其它事物都是次要的。

在我年輕時(shí)，有本神奇的雜志叫做Whole Earth Catalog，當(dāng)年我們很迷這本雜志。那是一位住在離這不遠(yuǎn)的Menlo Park的Stewart Brand發(fā)行的，他把雜志辦得很有詩(shī)意。那是1960年代末期，個(gè)人計(jì)算機(jī)跟桌上出版還沒發(fā)明，所有內(nèi)容都是打字機(jī)、剪刀跟拍立得相機(jī)做出來(lái)的。雜志內(nèi)容有點(diǎn)像印在紙上的Google，在Google出現(xiàn)之前35年就有了：理想化，充滿新奇工具與神奇的注記。

Stewart跟他的出版團(tuán)隊(duì)出了好幾期Whole Earth Catalog，然后出了?？?hào)。當(dāng)時(shí)是1970年代中期，我正是你們現(xiàn)在這個(gè)年齡的時(shí)候。在?？?hào)的封底，有張?jiān)绯苦l(xiāng)間小路的照片，那種你去爬山時(shí)會(huì)經(jīng)過的鄉(xiāng)間小路。在照片下有行小字：求知若饑，虛心若愚。

那是他們親筆寫下的告別訊息，我總是以此自許。當(dāng)你們畢業(yè)，展開新生活，我也以此期許你們。

求知若饑，虛心若愚。

非常謝謝大家。

‘You’ve got to find what you love

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 somethingI 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 creationa 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 downI 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 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.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 everythingthese 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 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.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.喬布斯是個(gè)天才和瘋子，他每天必來(lái)到我們部門看昨天的成果，能聽到他罵人，我們并不生氣，因?yàn)槲覀冎浪辉试S產(chǎn)品上市后沒有銷路。

2011年8月25日，喬布斯先生宣布辭職的消息讓人吃驚，我們對(duì)他的健康狀況表示擔(dān)心。在辦公室里，也許再難聽到他罵人了，只留下曾經(jīng)他的那些經(jīng)典的激勵(lì)我們的語(yǔ)錄——

1、不要按照用戶的壞習(xí)慣去設(shè)計(jì)，也不要按照程序員的思維去設(shè)計(jì)！

1, do not according to user bad habits to design, also do not according to programmers thinking design!

2、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(shí)，立即大度的丟棄，這其實(shí)是更是一種堅(jiān)持。

2, 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.3、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(shí)間。

4, products must be feeling letting a person, but resolute don’t do new mice to try an unprecedented new product.5、把標(biāo)志畫那么大干嗎？蘋果的產(chǎn)品要在任何時(shí)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。

5, 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.6、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(jià)值認(rèn)同并獲得更高的利潤(rùn)，這就是蘋果。

6, 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.7、所有的產(chǎn)品一定會(huì)離開蘋果商店但不能離開蘋果系統(tǒng)，我們要幫助客戶持續(xù)使用蘋果產(chǎn)品，直到壽終正寢。

7, all products will leave apple store but cannot leave apple system, we have to help customers continued use of apple products, until died.8、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。

8, 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.9、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。

9, let team for those who say “impossible” people feel not achieve them is shameful.10、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(duì)客戶的承諾。10, brand is not playing apple logo is an apple quality, hit the apple logo also need confidence and commitment to customers.11、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。

11, 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.12、產(chǎn)品設(shè)計(jì)時(shí)的所有功能都是一個(gè)整體，不應(yīng)該有任何理由去砍功能，破壞整體性。12, product design all the functions are a whole, should not have any reason to cut function, destroy unity.13、領(lǐng)袖和跟風(fēng)者的區(qū)別就在于創(chuàng)新，你的時(shí)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。

13, 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.14、團(tuán)隊(duì)中那些想用Keynote（蘋果的PPT）來(lái)證明自己的人只能說明你不行，請(qǐng)拿出解決方案。

'You've got to find what you love,' Jobs says

This is a prepared text of the Commencement address delivered by Steve Jobs, CEO of Apple Computer and of Pixar Animation Studios, 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, it's 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 downthese 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 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 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

第五篇：?jiǎn)滩妓乖谒固垢４髮W(xué)演講演講觀后感

Thoughts of The speech of the Jobs

The speech that Jobs made on Stanford has profound effects on us after we watching the video.His speech is contained by three stories.And each one of the three have different significance for us.How did he achieved the glorious accomplishment? And what’s his attitude of the live?what’s advice he want to share to us? You will acknowledge the answer after watching the video.His first stories started from his collage.He was adopted by a copple of workers because his biological mother was unmarried.Actually he as a bastard.When he studied in the collage he found that it was meaningless for him to studied in it at the cost of all the wealth of his foster parents.Then he quit out.He used the time to listen other lessons.He learned about serif and serif typefaces.About varying the amount of space between different letter combinations.About what makes great typography great.....which seemed useless from the sight of our attitudes.But ten years later, when they designed the first Macintosh computer,it made a giant works on them.It was the first computer with beautiful typography.Then I think of my life, i found we should made the right decision on ourselves.when he dropped out his collage, he also was afraid of the money and the future.But he learned other things during the time his absence of school which were beneficial for his business.The experience that we experienced while we were in trouble was not only rarity for our careen but also for our life.So that Jobs said’ you cant’t connect the dots looking forward you can only connect them looking backward.So you have to trust to trust that.The dots will somehow connect in your future.You have to trust in something.Your gut destiny life,karam whatever.This approach has never let me down and it has made all the different in my life.’ I considered that we are always recreating the things we have down, which was a negative thought for ourselves.Just like us now,we regret why we choose the course--english or rather others--computer, tourist, and so on.The complain is too feeble.If we found the course did not available for us we should change another one as the Jobs.Ever you consist it, you should learn some useful

thing not only on your major but on your interesting instead of regretting.As soon as you have some experience or knowledge,please trust me, you must have the chance to use them in some day.His second stories about love and loss.It is a sentimental topic of the life, isn’t it? When he was twenty years old, he with his friend set up a company to now the two billion company with four thousands employees.It was a joke that he was fired by his own company, which made a huge damage on his life and career.But he still love his job.Even though lost the company, he still had the chance to do his job by tough efforts.I remembered his word ‘the haviness of being successful was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner again’.Then he started a company named NeXT and Pixar that the two companies have gained huge achievement.And during the process he fell in love with an amazing woman who became his wife.Due to some reasons Apple bought NeXT, he returned to Apple which once was his own company.Why he could achieved such glories achievement after being fried by his company? I think the reason is easy---love what you do.He loves his job so that he could not quit it regardless of the damage on his enterprise.His courage came from his love for his job.Seeking for your loved job is very imperative of your life.Because the job will company with you forever, each of them will more intimately with the years past.Keep seeking if you have not found it.I make a example of myself, I want to be a accountant still now even though I am a english major student.I always learn the knowledge on accounting after class in the library for getting the certification of accounting.But I have no teacher to teach me ,no classmates to discuss with me, so just studied by myself.Some times I feel lonely and helpless for the course.I love it so that I want to distant it.Even though the exam was fail but I still learn the knowledge right now.But for the love for it,how could I can accept the fail.Do not afraid of the loss because the love give the courage for us which could leads us to the place where has the lightness and hope.His third stories about death.He experienced the threaten of cancer so that he even cherished his live and the beauty of the life.‘if you live each day as if it was your last someday.You will most certainly be right’.All the money and honour will

lost because human could not exit forever.we have the limited life, which resulted in they have no time to care about other’s attitudes for people.We should live the life according to the thought of ourselves.‘have the courage to follow your heart and intuition....’ Jobs gave the advice ‘Stay hungry, Stay foolish.’ During our lives, do the things you think its worthy.Jobs did not know he would died several years later, but he has made the prepare for his family and his own.Death is the taboo thing for us.All of us want have the glorious, so that we pay more attentions to the regular of the society.What a pity thing for the limited life.This great man’s three stories let person feel deeply.Then I have different ideals for the life and my live after watching the video.In the limited life to live out our own style is very necessary things.
