第一篇：蘋果CEO辭職信

我常說，如果有那么一天，我無法再勝任蘋果CEO，無法再達(dá)到大家的期望值，我會(huì)在第一時(shí)間告訴你們。不幸的是，那個(gè)日子終于到了。

在此，我宣布辭去蘋果首席執(zhí)行官職務(wù)。如果董事會(huì)認(rèn)為合適的話，我想擔(dān)任董事長，或者董事甚至普通職員都可以。

至于我的繼任者，我強(qiáng)烈建議實(shí)施我們已定的繼任計(jì)劃，并提名蒂姆·庫克擔(dān)任蘋果CEO。

我認(rèn)為，蘋果最光明和最具創(chuàng)新力的日子還在后頭。我期待著在新的崗位上看護(hù)蘋果的成功并為此做出貢獻(xiàn)。

在蘋果我交了一些生命中最好的朋友，我要感謝多年來與我共同努力的所有人。（木秀林）

附辭職信英文原文：

To the Apple Board of Directors and the Apple Community:

I have always said if there ever came a day when I could no longer meet my duties and expectations as Apple’s CEO, I would be the first to let you know.Unfortunately, that day has come.I hereby resign as CEO of Apple.I would like to serve, if the Board sees fit, as Chairman of the Board, director and Apple employee.As far as my successor goes, I strongly recommend that we execute our succession plan and name Tim Cook as CEO of Apple.I believe Apple’s brightest and most innovative days are ahead of it.And I look forward to watching and contributing to its success in a new role.I have made some of the best friends of my life at Apple, and I thank you all for the many years of being able to work alongside you.

第二篇：蘋果CEO

This was the start in my life.這就是我一生的起點(diǎn)

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.十七歲的時(shí)候，我進(jìn)了大學(xué)。當(dāng)時(shí)我很天真，選了一所學(xué)費(fèi)幾乎和斯坦福大學(xué)一樣昂貴的學(xué)校，當(dāng)工人的養(yǎng)父母傾其所有的積蓄為我支付了大學(xué)學(xué)費(fèi) After six months, I couldn't see the value in it.讀了六個(gè)月，我看不出念這個(gè)書的價(jià)值何在

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.我既不知道自己這一生想干什么，也不確定大學(xué)能幫我弄明白自己想干什么。而我所在做的僅是花光我父母的畢生積蓄。

So I decided to drop out and trust that it would all work out OK.所以我決定退學(xué)，我要自立更生。

It was pretty scary at the time, but looking back, it was one of the best decisions I ever made.(Laughter)

當(dāng)年做出這個(gè)決定的時(shí)候還心有余悸，但現(xiàn)在驀然回首，我覺得這是我有生以來做出的最好的決定之一。（笑聲）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.從退學(xué)那一刻起，我就可以不再選那些我不感興趣的必修課，而開始去旁聽一些在我看來更有意思的課。

It wasn't all romantic.I didn't have a dorm room, so I slept on the floor in friends' rooms.這一點(diǎn)也不浪漫。我沒有寢室，所以我睡在友人家里的地板上，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.靠每回收一個(gè)可樂瓶子得來的5美分為生。每個(gè)星期天晚上得走七里的路繞過大半個(gè)鎮(zhèn)子去“哈瑞.奎師那”印度神廟改善一頓伙食。

And I loved it.And much of what I stumbled into by following my curiosity and intuition turned out to be priceless later on.我真的很喜歡這樣的生活。追尋好奇與直覺的我所駐足的大部分事物，這些在我看來都成了無價(jià)之寶。

Let me give you one example.舉例來說，None of this had even a hope of any practical application in my life.當(dāng)時(shí)我并不指望書法在以后的生活中能有什么實(shí)用價(jià)值

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.當(dāng)然，我在大學(xué)里不可能把當(dāng)時(shí)的點(diǎn)向前延伸，連成一條線；但是現(xiàn)在回過頭去看，貫穿在這十年里的那條線卻無比清晰。Again, you can't connect the dots looking forward.我再說一次，你不能預(yù)先把點(diǎn)點(diǎn)滴滴串在一起

You can only connect them looking backwards, so you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future.唯有未來回顧時(shí)，你才會(huì)明白過去的那些點(diǎn)點(diǎn)滴滴是如何串在一起的

You have to trust in something-your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever...你得信任某個(gè)東西，直覺也好，命運(yùn)也好，生活也好，因果報(bào)應(yīng)……。

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.因?yàn)樾叛瞿芙o你自信，把你的想法變成現(xiàn)實(shí)，讓你與眾不同。

The heaviness of being successful was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner again, less sure about everything.盡管前景未卜，但從頭開始的輕松感取代了保持成功的沉重感

It freed me to enter one of the most creative periods in my life.這使我進(jìn)入了一生中最富有創(chuàng)造力的時(shí)期之一

I'm pretty sure none of this would have happened if I hadn't been fired from Apple.我確信，如果不是被蘋果公司解雇，這一切決不可能發(fā)生

It was awful-tasting medicine but I guess the patient needed it.我猜這就是良藥苦口的道理。

Sometime...Sometimes life's going to hit you in the head with a brick.Don't lose faith.有時(shí)……有時(shí)生活會(huì)當(dāng)頭給你一棒，但不要灰心

I'm convinced that the only thing that kept me going was that I loved what I did.我堅(jiān)信讓我一往無前的唯一力量就是我熱愛我所做的一切

You've got to find what you love, and that is as true for work as it is for your lovers.所以，一定得知道自己喜歡什么，選擇愛人時(shí)如此，選擇工作時(shí)同樣如此

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.工作將是生活中的一大部分，讓自己真正滿意的唯一辦法，是做自己認(rèn)為有意義的工作。做有意義的工作的唯一辦法，是熱愛自己的工作

If you haven't found it yet, keep looking, and don't settle.你們?nèi)绻€沒有發(fā)現(xiàn)自己喜歡什么，那就不斷地去尋找，不要祈求安逸

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.就像一切要憑著感覺去做的事情一樣，一旦找到了自己喜歡的事，感覺就會(huì)告訴你。就像任何關(guān)系一樣，都會(huì)隨著時(shí)間的推移建立起來。So keep looking.Don't settle.所以要不斷地去尋找，不要祈求安逸

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.”(Laughter)

17歲那年，我讀到過這樣一段話，大意是：“如果你把每一天都當(dāng)作生命的最后一天過，總

有一天你的假設(shè)會(huì)成為現(xiàn)實(shí)?！?笑聲)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?”

我記住了這句話，從那時(shí)算起，33年過去了，我每天早晨都對(duì)著鏡子捫心自問： “假如今天是我生命中的最后一天，我還會(huì)去做今天要做的事嗎？”

And whenever the answer has been “no” for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something.如果一連許多天我的回答都是“不”，我知道自己應(yīng)該有所改變了

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，提醒自己快死了，是我在人生中下重大決定時(shí)所用到的最好的辦法

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.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

Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose.提醒自己快死了，是我所知避免自己因失落而陷入不知所措的窘境的最好的方法 You are already naked.There is no reason not to follow your heart.你已一無所有，沒什么理由不順心而為

No one wants to die, even people who want to go to Heaven don't want to die to get there，那就是：誰都不愿意死。即使是那些想進(jìn)天堂的人也不會(huì)愿意為了進(jìn)天堂而去死 And yet, death is the destination we all share.No one has ever escaped it.然而，死亡是我們共同的歸宿，沒人能擺脫

And that is as it should be, because death is very likely the single best invention of life.我們注定會(huì)死，因?yàn)樗劳龊芸赡苁巧詈玫囊豁?xiàng)發(fā)明It's life's change agent;it clears out the old to make way for the new.它推進(jìn)生命的推陳出新，新辰換代，Right now, the new is you.現(xiàn)在，你們就是新的，But someday, not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away.但在不久的將來，你們也會(huì)逐漸成為舊的，也會(huì)被淘汰 Sorry to be so dramatic, but it's quite true.抱歉講得這么戲劇化，但是這是事實(shí)

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.你們的時(shí)間都有限，所以不要按照別人的意愿去活。不要讓別人思想里盲從的信條困惑你 Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice, 不要讓別人觀點(diǎn)的聒噪聲淹沒自己的心聲

And most important...have the courage to follow your heart and intuition.最主要的是，要有跟著自己感覺和直覺走的勇氣

They somehow already know what you truly want to become.無論如何，感覺和直覺早就知道你到底想成為一個(gè)什么樣的人，Everything else is secondary.其它的都不重要

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.在?？?hào)的背面，有張?jiān)绯苦l(xiāng)間小路的照片，你可以看到上面有那種你去爬山時(shí)會(huì)經(jīng)過的鄉(xiāng)間小路

Beneath were the words, “Stay hungry, stay foolish.” 在照片下有行小字：求知若饑，虛心若愚

It was their farewell message as they signed off.那是他們?cè)谕？瘯r(shí)寫下的告別訊息，“Stay hungry, stay foolish.” 求知若饑，虛心若愚

And I have always wished that for myself, and now, as you graduate to begin a new, I wish that for you.Stay hungry, stay foolish.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
