第一篇：高中演講稿我的偶像喬布斯

大家好，相信對(duì)于我要介紹的這位偶像是誰(shuí)，大家都已經(jīng)很清楚了。那么今天今天我所要向大家介紹的這位偉人，就是蘋果公司的創(chuàng)始人，個(gè)人電腦時(shí)代以及移動(dòng)互聯(lián)時(shí)代的奠基人，一個(gè)一生充滿無數(shù)傳奇的領(lǐng)袖，世界的喬幫主，斯蒂芬喬布斯。

其實(shí)作為我的偶像，我對(duì)于他的崇拜不只是一點(diǎn)兩點(diǎn)。個(gè)人真正開始關(guān)注喬布斯，是因?yàn)檫@本書—————電腦愛好者2011年第二十期，這期雜志的主題很明顯——《看喬布斯如何用幻燈片征服世界》。看完這期雜志以后，我去看了喬布斯的發(fā)布會(huì)，然后從此迷上了他在發(fā)布會(huì)上征服全場(chǎng)的控制力、詼諧幽默又不失專業(yè)性的語(yǔ)言，以及他簡(jiǎn)潔的PPT風(fēng)格。還記得的喬布斯2007年發(fā)布iphon的時(shí)候，他是這樣說的1984年，我們發(fā)布了mac，他改變了整個(gè)電腦產(chǎn)業(yè)，2001年，我們發(fā)布了ipod，它改變了整個(gè)音樂產(chǎn)業(yè)，那么今天我們要發(fā)布三件同樣級(jí)別的革命性產(chǎn)品

The first one the widescreen ipod with touch contels 觸屏控制的寬屏幕ipod

The second one a revolutionary mobile phone 一部革命性的手機(jī)

The third one a breakthrough internet communicator 革命性的網(wǎng)絡(luò)交互工具

當(dāng)時(shí)，整個(gè)發(fā)布會(huì)現(xiàn)場(chǎng)已經(jīng)沸騰了，在那個(gè)手機(jī)都帶全鍵盤，移動(dòng)聽音樂只有用ipod的年代，這個(gè)絕對(duì)轟動(dòng)的三樣產(chǎn)品。然后喬布斯把這三個(gè)圖標(biāo)排在一起，在所有人的掌聲中，做了接下來的這件事情——

最后的這個(gè)玩笑大家當(dāng)然都懂，而對(duì)于我來說，喬布斯在發(fā)布會(huì)上那種淋漓盡致極盡灑脫的演講方式征服了我。再后來，2008年，喬布斯創(chuàng)新性的從信封里去除了macbook air 2010年，2010年，喬布斯捧出了秘密研究10年的ipad，然后在IPhone4發(fā)布時(shí)直接告訴世界：“Stop me if you have seen this”“如果你見過這樣的手機(jī)，我就到此打住了”的豪情狀語(yǔ)，這是作為一個(gè)演講者，一種對(duì)于演講者本身的完全支配，對(duì)于所有聽眾的完全支配，是對(duì)他所講的內(nèi)容的完全支配，他真正做到了完美演講所要求的天人合一，通過一次次震驚世人的創(chuàng)意征服了全世界。

好了，創(chuàng)新在這里我就不提了，蘋果的輝煌是所有人有目共睹的。我之所以認(rèn)定喬布斯是我的偶像，還有一點(diǎn)，是他對(duì)于完美的追求。1997年，也就是next被蘋果收購(gòu)，喬布斯重回蘋果ceo位置的那一年，喬布斯在他名為“非同凡響”的宣傳活動(dòng)中，至少槍斃掉了10種廣告創(chuàng)意，依據(jù)喬布斯傳的記錄，他當(dāng)時(shí)對(duì)著廣告創(chuàng)作團(tuán)隊(duì)脫口而出了這些話“這是狗屎！” “這是廣告公司制造出來的垃圾，我恨它！”而且按照喬布斯的性格，他在當(dāng)時(shí)罵的絕對(duì)還要難聽，但在這樣的嚴(yán)格要求下“非同凡響”宣傳活動(dòng)真的造成了非同反響的影響，原本名譽(yù)掃地的蘋果公司再次進(jìn)入了人們的視線。還要例子的話，那就是喬布斯對(duì)于蘋果零售店的令人難以理解的精益求精，第一家蘋果零售店是在2000年4月開始設(shè)計(jì)的，預(yù)計(jì)十二月份首次展示，而喬布斯卻在十月的時(shí)候突然要求重新設(shè)計(jì)整個(gè)店的布局，為的只是前一天晚上他突然想到的新點(diǎn)子。而對(duì)于零售店的裝潢選材上，喬布斯的要求更加夸張，在1985年被蘋果驅(qū)逐以后，喬布斯去了一趟意大利，弗洛倫薩人行道上的灰藍(lán)色石頭對(duì)他留下了濃厚的印象。于是在裝潢的時(shí)候，喬布斯要求采用與這種人行道完全相同的鋪設(shè)方式來鋪設(shè)蘋果零售店的地面，而這種石頭僅僅產(chǎn)于弗洛倫薩外圍的一個(gè)私營(yíng)礦礦市場(chǎng)，產(chǎn)量?jī)H為開采量的3%。這個(gè)要求的高度可想而知。還有像零售店的一體式落地玻璃，以及廁所門口標(biāo)志的顏色，喬布斯都進(jìn)行的仔細(xì)的研究。最終，2001年1月，蘋果零售店在美國(guó)基尼利亞洲開張了，而2001年里，蘋果零售店獲得了將近10億美元的理論，2006年，蘋果位于曼哈頓第五大道上的零售店開業(yè)，創(chuàng)下了單周客流量5萬(wàn)人的記錄。按照喬布斯自己的話來說：“這加店每平方英寸帶來的平均收入比世界上任何一家店都多，而且總收入也比紐約的任何一家店要多——這是實(shí)實(shí)在在的美元，還不是僅僅每平方英寸的平均收入。”其實(shí)個(gè)人覺得，他這句話

不只是對(duì)反對(duì)開設(shè)零售店的董事會(huì)的諷刺，更是他對(duì)于反對(duì)他種種極端要求的人的反擊。完美主義帶來的非凡品質(zhì)在他這里展現(xiàn)的淋漓盡致。這也是我所向往的一種意識(shí)，雖說完美只是一個(gè)目標(biāo)，永遠(yuǎn)不可能達(dá)到，但擁有一顆追逐完美的心，愿意去拼搏，也會(huì)讓人生更添一份奮斗的光彩。

時(shí)間關(guān)系，喬布斯的熱情和堅(jiān)韌我就不再此闡述了，現(xiàn)如今，這位為我們帶來個(gè)圖形用戶界面，個(gè)人電腦，移動(dòng)MP3，智能手機(jī)，智能平板的人已經(jīng)遠(yuǎn)去了。在這里我們能做的也只有悼念，愿在天堂的喬幫主，一路走好

第二篇：?jiǎn)滩妓寡葜v稿

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

This is the text of the Commencement address by Steve Jobs, CEO of Apple Computer and of Pixar Animation Studios, delivered on June 12, 2005.這是蘋果公司和Pixar動(dòng)畫工作室的CEO Steve Jobs于2005年6月12號(hào)在斯坦福大學(xué)的畢業(yè)典禮上面的演講稿。

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.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。

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.今天我想告訴大家來自我生活的三個(gè)故事。沒什么大不了的，只是三個(gè)故事而已。第一個(gè)故事，如何串連生命中的點(diǎn)滴

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 theyreallywanted 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.我在里得大學(xué)讀了六個(gè)月就退學(xué)了，但是在十八個(gè)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(gè)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(gè)很強(qiáng)烈的信仰，認(rèn)為我應(yīng)該被一個(gè)大學(xué)畢業(yè)生家庭收養(yǎng)。于是，一對(duì)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(gè)女孩兒。然后我的排在收養(yǎng)人名單中的養(yǎng)父母在一個(gè)深夜接到電話，“很意外，我們多了一個(gè)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(gè)月后，我的養(yǎng)父母保證會(huì)讓我上大學(xué)，她妥協(xié)了。

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.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(gè)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(huì)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(cuò)。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。

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.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(gè)的舊可樂瓶，每個(gè)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(gè)例子吧。

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 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.當(dāng)時(shí)的里得大學(xué)提供可能是全國(guó)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(huì)了“serif”和“sans-serif”兩種字體、學(xué)會(huì)了怎樣在不同的字母組合中改變字間距、學(xué)會(huì)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(dòng)人、充滿歷史底蘊(yùn)和藝術(shù)性，我覺得自己被完全吸引了。

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.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。但是，十年之后，我們?cè)谠O(shè)計(jì)第一臺(tái) Macintosh 計(jì)算機(jī)時(shí)，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(tái)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(huì)有那么多種印刷字體或間距安排合理的字號(hào)。要不是 Windows 照搬了 Macintosh，個(gè)人電腦可能不會(huì)有這些字體和字號(hào)。

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.要不是退了學(xué)，我決不會(huì)碰巧選了這門書法課，個(gè)人電腦也可能不會(huì)有現(xiàn)在這些漂亮的版式了。

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.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(gè)點(diǎn)上看到將來；只有回頭看時(shí)，才會(huì)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(huì)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(huì)給你帶來循從本覺的自信，它使你走離平凡，變得與眾不同。

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 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.第二個(gè)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(shí)候就和沃茨在父母的車庫(kù)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(zhǎng)為擁有四千名員工，價(jià)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(gè)親手創(chuàng)立的公司解雇？事情是這樣的，在公司成長(zhǎng)期間，雇傭了一個(gè)我們認(rèn)為非常聰明，可以和我一起經(jīng)營(yíng)公司的人。一年后，我們對(duì)公司未來的看法產(chǎn)生分歧，董事會(huì)站在了他的一邊。于是，在我三十歲的時(shí)候，我出局了，很公開地出局了。我整個(gè)成年生活的焦點(diǎn)沒了，這很要命。一開始的幾個(gè)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。有個(gè)東西在慢慢地叫醒我。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。

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.當(dāng)時(shí)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(duì)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(gè)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(gè)電腦動(dòng)畫電影：“玩具總動(dòng)員”，現(xiàn)在它已經(jīng)是世界最成功的動(dòng)畫制作工作室了。

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.在一系列的成功運(yùn)轉(zhuǎn)后，蘋果收購(gòu)了NeXT，我又回到了蘋果。我們?cè)贜eXT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(gè)幸福的家庭。

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.我非常確信，如果我沒有被蘋果炒掉，這些就都不會(huì)發(fā)生。這個(gè)藥的味道太糟了，但是我想病人需要它。有些時(shí)候，生活會(huì)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(duì)自己所做事情的熱愛。你必須去找你熱愛的東西，對(duì)工作如此，對(duì)你的愛人也是這樣的。工作會(huì)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(shí)，你會(huì)知道的。就像任何真誠(chéng)的關(guān)系，隨著時(shí)間的流逝，只會(huì)越來越緊密。所以繼續(xù)找，不要停。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.我的第三個(gè)故事關(guān)于死亡。我十七歲的時(shí)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(huì)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(huì)對(duì)著鏡子問自己：“如果今天是我的最后一天，我會(huì)不會(huì)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(duì)難堪和失敗的恐懼——在死亡面前都會(huì)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。

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.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(gè)腫瘤。我當(dāng)時(shí)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(gè)月的時(shí)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(duì)你小孩說十年的話在幾個(gè)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。

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.我整日都想著那診斷書的事情。后來有天晚上我做了一個(gè)活切片檢查，他們將一個(gè)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(gè)細(xì)胞。我當(dāng)時(shí)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(shí)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。

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.這是我最接近死亡的時(shí)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(gè)有用而純粹書面概念的時(shí)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(gè)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詈玫陌l(fā)明。它去陳讓新。現(xiàn)在，你們就是“新”。但是有一天，不用太久，你們有會(huì)慢慢變老然后死去。抱歉，這很戲劇性，但卻是真的。你們的時(shí)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(huì)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。

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 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.我年輕的時(shí)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(gè)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(shī)一般的觸覺將這份雜志帶到世界。那是六十年代后期，個(gè)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，“保持饑餓，保持愚蠢”。這是他們的告別語(yǔ)，“保持饑餓，保持愚蠢”。我常以此勉勵(lì)自己?，F(xiàn)在，在你們即將踏上新旅程的時(shí)候，我也希望你們能這樣。保持饑餓，保持愚蠢。

Thank you all, very much.

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 so 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.meday go to college.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 somethingthe Macintoshthat I had dropped the baton as it was being passed to me.I met with David Packard and Bob Noyce and tried to apologize for screwing up so badly.I was a very public failure, and I even thought about running away from the valley.But something slowly began to dawn on me – I still loved what I did.The turn of events at Apple had not changed that one bit.I had been rejected, but I was still in love.And so I decided to start over.I didn't see it then, but it turned out that getting fired from Apple was the best thing that could have ever happened to me.The heaviness of being successful was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner again, less sure about everything.It freed me to enter one of the most creative periods of my life.During the next five years, I started a company named NeXT, another company named Pixar, and fell in love with an amazing woman who would become my wife.Pixar went on to create the 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 everything – all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failurewhich 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

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.

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?

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:

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 down – that I had dropped the baton as it was being passed to me.I met with David Packard and Bob Noyce and tried to apologize for screwing up so badly.I was a very public failure, and I even thought about running away from the valley.But something slowly began to dawn on me – I still loved what I did.The turn of events at Apple had not changed that one bit.I had been rejected, but I was still in love.And so I decided to start over.I didn’t see it then, but it turned out that getting fired from Apple was the best thing that could have ever happened to me.The heaviness of being successful was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner again, less sure about everything.It freed me to enter one of the most creative periods of my life.During the next five years, I started a company named NeXT, another company named Pixar, and fell in love with an amazing woman who would become my wife.Pixar went on to create the 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 everything – all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure – these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important.Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose.You are already naked.There is no reason not to follow your heart.About a year ago I was diagnosed with cancer.I had a scan at 7:30 in the morning, and it clearly showed a tumor on my pancreas.I didn’t even know what a pancreas was.The doctors told me this was almost certainly a type of cancer that is incurable, and that I should expect to live no longer than three to six months.My doctor advised me to go home and get my affairs in order, which is doctor’s code for prepare to die.It means to try 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

第五篇：?jiǎn)滩妓寡葜v稿

So, three things: a widescreen iPod with touch controls;a revolutionary mobile phone;and a breakthrough Internet communications device.An iPod, a phone, and an Internet communicator.An iPod, a phone … are you getting it? These are not three separate devices, this is one device, and we are calling it iPhone.Yes, I bet you must have got which entrepreneur I’m going to introduce today.He is the father of the iphone and a revolutionary of the electronics industry Steven Jobs who are born to put a dent in the universe.Steve Jobs was born in San Francisco, California, where he was adopted by his foster mother.In 1972, Jobs graduated from Homestead High School and enrolled in Reed College.Owing a deep-interest in technology, he took up a job as a leading manufacturer of video games.When Jobs was 19 years old, he dropped out from the university , and after that he always researched the computer with his friend Wozniak who had the same interest with him.In 1976, they founded Apple Computer in the Jobs family garage.The first computer was sold for $666.66.Encouraged by the success of their first computer, on the fool day in 1976, they signed a contract and decided to found a computer company.At the beginning, everything went well.While the appearance of IBM’s personal computer attacked them a lot, Jobs had no choice but to leave the company and founded the Next computer company.In 1996, Jobs was famous for the success of the computer animated film—Toy Story.At the same time, the Apple Company was faced with the bust-up risk.In 1997, Jobs returned as Apple CEO.He reformed the company thoroughly and cooperate with Microsoft, Jobs became the cover person of Times again.In 1998, Apple launched iMac, which was the best-selling personal computer in America.In 1999, Apple launched iBook、G4 and iMac DV.And just as expected, all of them made a huge impact.In 2001, the music industry forever changed with the iPod, iTunes followed.Billions of songs were downloaded.In2007, Jobs captures the world’s attention again with the iPhone.They made an app for everything.In 2010, Jobs launched his latest creation— iPad , which was the fast-selling technological device ever.Jobs leads Apple create one and another miracle.But unfortunately in 2004, Jobs was diagnosed with a malignant tumor in his pancreas.As a result, Jobs resigned as CEO of Apple on August 24, 2011.On October 5, 2011, Jobs passed away.Like Jobs many entrepreneurs have their own entrepreneurship they use their talents to find business opportunities which are not discovered by normal people.So now let me give you a brief conclusion about Jobs entrepreneurship.1.bravery The capacity and willingness to develop, organize and manage a business venture along with any of its risks.There is no such a thing as a free lunch.There is a chance in front of you with some uncertain things together.If you want to be successful, you should make a choice.To face the risks or to give up? Only when you take the challenge can you gain access to success.2.Creativity You catch peoples’ eyes if you create something new.For example, iphone update from generation to generation , which attract a lot of customers to buy their new product.3.cooperation

One tree does not make a forest.Teamwork can make a company run in a stale pace, showing great power.4.devotion

Being devoted can help the company become more powerful.A company with a warm and aspirant environment will work efficiently.5.passion for study If three of us are walking together, at least one of the other two is good enough to be my teacher.Being willing to learn from others can help combine the enterprise with many advantages.6.Integrity No one wants to cooperate with the company that won’t obey the contract.No one wants to buy the product from the without honesty.
