第一篇：從喬布斯演講看如何寫(xiě)作英語(yǔ)演講稿

從喬布斯演講看如何寫(xiě)作英語(yǔ)演講稿

無(wú)論在學(xué)習(xí)還是工作中，我們都會(huì)接觸或用到各類(lèi)英語(yǔ)演講，小到課堂作業(yè)和工作匯報(bào)，大到會(huì)議發(fā)言和職位競(jìng)選。那么如何才能打造一篇精彩的英語(yǔ)演講稿呢？下面蘇州英語(yǔ)培訓(xùn)的沃爾得小編就以喬布斯2005年斯坦福大學(xué)畢業(yè)演講稿為范本來(lái)具體剖析一下英語(yǔ)演講稿的寫(xiě)作要點(diǎn)，幫助大家了解其基本寫(xiě)作要領(lǐng)。

結(jié)構(gòu)清楚，邏輯清晰

由于公共演講的聽(tīng)眾一般有數(shù)十人甚至數(shù)百、數(shù)千人，再加上演講環(huán)境的不確定性（比如觀眾的歡呼或者抱怨），演講者最好在進(jìn)入主題之后馬上給出所講內(nèi)容的框架結(jié)構(gòu)，使聽(tīng)眾能跟隨演講者的思路，更好地預(yù)判整個(gè)演講內(nèi)容，以達(dá)到良好的演講效果。比如，喬布斯在2005年斯坦福大學(xué)畢業(yè)典禮上的演講中，開(kāi)篇稍微寒暄之后就進(jìn)入正題：“Today I want to tell you three stories from my life.That’s it.No big deal.Just three stories.”聽(tīng)眾馬上能對(duì)演講內(nèi)容做出預(yù)判——今天會(huì)聽(tīng)到喬布斯談三點(diǎn)，然后他們會(huì)關(guān)注具體是哪三點(diǎn)。這種演講就具備了“以觀眾為中心”的特質(zhì)。喬布斯在隨后的演講中分別提到，“The first story is about connecting the dots.”“My second story is about love and loss.”“My third story is about death.”由于演講思路非常明晰，聽(tīng)眾在聽(tīng)完之后也會(huì)記憶猶新。

當(dāng)然，演講稿在結(jié)構(gòu)方面的邏輯順序有許多種，喬布斯的這篇演講是按照話(huà)題順序和時(shí)間順序來(lái)安排的。除此之外，還有空間順序，“提出問(wèn)題——分析問(wèn)題——解決問(wèn)題”的順序等。大家可以根據(jù)不同演講內(nèi)容的需要來(lái)安排自己演講稿的邏輯順序和整體結(jié)構(gòu)。

開(kāi)篇出彩，吸引聽(tīng)眾

演講稿的開(kāi)篇往往需要花費(fèi)大量的功夫去設(shè)計(jì)。在寫(xiě)作開(kāi)篇時(shí)，演講者需要結(jié)合聽(tīng)眾特點(diǎn)、演講場(chǎng)合和演講主題等因素，爭(zhēng)取在一開(kāi)始就緊緊抓住聽(tīng)眾的注意力和興趣。下面蘇州英語(yǔ)培訓(xùn)的沃爾得就介紹一下基本的演講開(kāi)篇模式，供大家以后寫(xiě)作演講稿參考。

演講稿開(kāi)篇的目的是吸引聽(tīng)眾。喬布斯在他的演講稿開(kāi)篇使用的是“關(guān)聯(lián)話(huà)題與聽(tīng)眾”的方式。這是一種比較有效的方法，因?yàn)槿藗円话銓?duì)自己的事情都很關(guān)注，和自己相關(guān)的事情也會(huì)格外留意。喬布斯在演講開(kāi)篇說(shuō)道：“I am 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.”高度贊美斯坦福大學(xué)——這就是在與聽(tīng)眾發(fā)生關(guān)聯(lián)。喬布斯就是通過(guò)這種方式讓聽(tīng)眾一開(kāi)始就對(duì)自己產(chǎn)生好感或?qū)ψ约旱难葜v內(nèi)容產(chǎn)生興趣。當(dāng)然，喬布斯還用了適當(dāng)?shù)挠哪?，更好地融洽了與聽(tīng)眾的關(guān)系。

除了喬布斯的這種開(kāi)篇方式外，我們還需要了解和掌握其他一些開(kāi)篇方式：①指出演講話(huà)題的重要性。比如要做一場(chǎng)關(guān)于“英語(yǔ)演講的藝術(shù)”的演講，演講者在一開(kāi)始就可以指出該演講對(duì)于聽(tīng)眾今后的學(xué)習(xí)、工作將會(huì)有很大幫助，甚至可以給出一些數(shù)據(jù)和實(shí)例，讓聽(tīng)眾明白不聽(tīng)這個(gè)演講將會(huì)是一個(gè)損失，這樣聽(tīng)眾就會(huì)樂(lè)于認(rèn)真聽(tīng)演講了。②使聽(tīng)眾感到震驚。例如要做一場(chǎng)關(guān)于“生活方式與疾病”的演講，開(kāi)篇就可以給出一組極具沖擊力的數(shù)據(jù)，讓聽(tīng)眾看到生活方式不健康將會(huì)產(chǎn)生多么可怕的后果，這樣的震驚能夠使聽(tīng)眾快速調(diào)整狀態(tài)，投入到聽(tīng)演講中去。③引起聽(tīng)眾的好奇心。演講者可以在開(kāi)篇指出一種特別的現(xiàn)象，聽(tīng)眾出于好奇就會(huì)認(rèn)真聽(tīng)演講，想知道演講者如何分析或解釋。④向觀眾提問(wèn)。演講者可以在開(kāi)篇提出一個(gè)問(wèn)題，這樣可以引發(fā)聽(tīng)眾的思考，也會(huì)引導(dǎo)他們?nèi)ヂ?tīng)演講者如何解答問(wèn)題。此外，也可以在開(kāi)篇引用一段

名言，或是講述一個(gè)故事等，這些基本的開(kāi)篇方式被無(wú)數(shù)的演講證明是實(shí)用而且有效的。

觀點(diǎn)明確，支撐有效

毫無(wú)疑問(wèn)，在演講稿中，主體段的信息量最大，寫(xiě)作量也最大。如何清晰地闡釋演講者的觀點(diǎn)或演講要點(diǎn)，如何用相關(guān)事實(shí)有效地支撐演講者的各個(gè)論點(diǎn)或要點(diǎn)，是演講稿主體段寫(xiě)作時(shí)應(yīng)該把握的關(guān)鍵。喬布斯在斯坦福大學(xué)的畢業(yè)演講中明確給出了三個(gè)要點(diǎn)：① The first story is about connecting the dots.② My second story is about love and loss.③ My third story is about death.為了清晰、有效地闡述自己想要表達(dá)的這三個(gè)要點(diǎn)，他運(yùn)用了以下三種手段：首先是舉例子。喬布斯在演講中用了大量的事例來(lái)說(shuō)明他怎么對(duì)待學(xué)習(xí)、工作和死亡。比如他說(shuō)自己讀書(shū)時(shí)旁聽(tīng)有意思的書(shū)法課程，這些課在當(dāng)時(shí)對(duì)他沒(méi)什么實(shí)質(zhì)幫助，但是十年后在當(dāng)他設(shè)計(jì)第一款Macintosh電腦的時(shí)候，這些東西全派上了用場(chǎng)，這個(gè)例子充分說(shuō)明了他演講的第一個(gè)要點(diǎn)——串起生命中的點(diǎn)滴。另一個(gè)手段是引用。喬布斯在演講中引用了一些名言警句來(lái)闡述自己的觀點(diǎn)。比如在講到死亡時(shí)，他引用了一句格言：“If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you’ll most certainly be right.”這句話(huà)表明了他對(duì)于生命和死亡的看法，使聽(tīng)眾印象深刻。第三個(gè)手段是數(shù)據(jù)支持。在講第二個(gè)故事——關(guān)于愛(ài)和失去時(shí)，喬布斯用了一系列數(shù)據(jù)來(lái)支撐自己的觀點(diǎn)。他說(shuō)自己是幸運(yùn)的，因?yàn)椤癢oz 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’d just released our finest creation—the

Macintosh—a year earlier, and I’d just turned 30.”數(shù)據(jù)很直觀，能讓聽(tīng)眾更直接地認(rèn)識(shí)和理解演講內(nèi)容。

結(jié)尾有“道”，畫(huà)龍點(diǎn)睛

演講的結(jié)尾往往需要起到“畫(huà)龍點(diǎn)睛”的作用，要盡量做到意味深長(zhǎng)、啟發(fā)思考。開(kāi)篇和正文再好，如果結(jié)尾過(guò)于平淡，整個(gè)演講的精彩程度也會(huì)大打折扣。那么如何做到結(jié)尾有“道”呢？首先我們來(lái)看看喬布斯的這篇演講稿，他的結(jié)尾比開(kāi)篇更加出彩，采用的是“引文結(jié)尾”的方式，達(dá)到了引人深思的效果。他在結(jié)尾說(shuō)道：“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.”喬布斯不僅在演講結(jié)尾引用了這句“Stay Hungry.Stay Foolish”（求知若渴，虛懷若谷），而且重復(fù)三遍，強(qiáng)化了聽(tīng)眾的印象。這句話(huà)后來(lái)也被廣泛傳播，被譽(yù)為該篇演講的精髓。

除了喬布斯這種“引文結(jié)尾”的方式，常見(jiàn)的演講結(jié)尾方式還有如下幾種：①總結(jié)演講。對(duì)演講中的各個(gè)論點(diǎn)或要點(diǎn)進(jìn)行簡(jiǎn)單總結(jié)和梳理，加深聽(tīng)眾的印象。②強(qiáng)有力的陳述。這種方式不同于引用他人之言，往往是演講者自己的總結(jié)和心聲。一個(gè)非常經(jīng)典的例子是Patrick

Henry的演講“Liberty or Death”。他在結(jié)尾時(shí)說(shuō)道：“Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God!I know not what course others may take;but as for me, give me liberty, or give me death!”③首尾呼應(yīng)。在演講結(jié)尾對(duì)開(kāi)篇提到的主題和重點(diǎn)進(jìn)行重新闡述，這是體現(xiàn)演講內(nèi)在統(tǒng)一性的經(jīng)典形式，值得借鑒。

為了更加有效地掌握文中講到的寫(xiě)作演講稿的要點(diǎn)，作為蘇州商務(wù)英語(yǔ)培訓(xùn)的沃爾得建議大家做到以下三點(diǎn)：①多看。多看一些演講素材，比如名人演講、演講比賽優(yōu)秀選手的演講等，積累大量的一手素材；也有必要閱讀一些關(guān)于英語(yǔ)公共演講的書(shū)籍，筆者在此推薦

Stephen E.Lucas的《演講的藝術(shù)》（The Art of Public Speaking）一書(shū)。②多想。學(xué)會(huì)分析這些演講之所以精彩的原因，可以從筆者上面講的幾點(diǎn)入手分析。③多練。在有了一定的積累之后，要大量練習(xí)寫(xiě)作演講稿，話(huà)題可以從日常學(xué)習(xí)和工作中選取，這樣練習(xí)起來(lái)會(huì)更有興趣和成就感。

第二篇：?jiǎn)滩妓寡葜v

史蒂夫-喬布斯的2005年斯坦福大學(xué)畢業(yè)典禮演說(shuō)辭

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(lái)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(shuō)，我大學(xué)沒(méi)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(lái)自我生活的三個(gè)故事。沒(méi)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 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.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(shuō)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(shuō)好了要領(lǐng)養(yǎng)我，然而最后一秒鐘，他們改變了注意，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(huà)，“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(lái)又發(fā)現(xiàn)我的養(yǎng)母沒(méi)有大學(xué)畢業(yè)，養(yǎng)父連高中都沒(méi)有畢業(yè)。她拒絕在領(lǐng)養(yǎng)書(shū)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(kāi)端。十七年后，我上大學(xué)了，但是我很無(wú)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(jué)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(xiāo)父母一生的積蓄。所以我決定退學(xué)，并且相信沒(méi)有做錯(cuò)。一開(kāi)始非常嚇人，但回憶起來(lái)，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(kāi)始旁聽(tīng)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(méi)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(lè)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(jué)前行后來(lái)被證明是多么的珍貴。讓我來(lái)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(shū)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(xiě)體。由于我已退學(xué)，不用修那些必修課，我決定選一門(mén)書(shū)法課上上。在這門(mén)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(xiě)出好的字來(lái)。這是一種科學(xué)無(wú)法捕捉的微妙，楚楚動(dòng)人、充滿(mǎn)歷史底蘊(yùn)和藝術(shù)性，我覺(jué)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.一開(kāi)始實(shí)在看不出所有這些會(huì)對(duì)我的實(shí)際生活應(yīng)用有任何幫助。但是十年后當(dāng)我們?cè)谠O(shè)計(jì)蘋(píng)果第一臺(tái)電腦的時(shí)候，這些東西都跑出來(lái)了，我把它們?nèi)荚O(shè)計(jì)到了電腦里。那是第一臺(tái)有漂亮字體的電腦。如果我從來(lái)沒(méi)有選過(guò)那門(mén)課，蘋(píng)果電腦就不會(huì)有那些漂亮的字型，又因?yàn)槲④浭峭耆截愄O(píng)果，很有可能，個(gè)人電腦就不會(huì)有這些漂亮的字體了。

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.如果我沒(méi)有退學(xué)，我就不會(huì)去修那門(mén)寫(xiě)字課，個(gè)人電腦就不會(huì)像現(xiàn)在這樣有令人愉悅的字體了。

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，當(dāng)我還在大學(xué)時(shí)向前預(yù)測(cè)是完全不可能把這些點(diǎn)滴串聯(lián)起來(lái)的，然而十年后再回顧時(shí)，就顯得很明朗了。再說(shuō)一遍，往前看，是連接不起這些點(diǎn)滴的，只有往后看才行。所以你必須相信，那些點(diǎn)點(diǎn)滴滴，會(huì)在你未來(lái)的生命里，以某種方式串聯(lián)起來(lái)。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(lái)循從本覺(jué)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(ài)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(chē)庫(kù)里開(kāi)創(chuàng)了蘋(píng)果公司。我們工作得很努力，十年后，蘋(píng)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(guò)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(lái)的看法產(chǎn)生分歧，董事長(zhǎng)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(kāi)地出局了。我整個(gè)成年生活的焦點(diǎn)沒(méi)了，這很要命。一開(kāi)始的幾個(gè)月我真的不知道該干什么。我覺(jué)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(jiàn)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(ài)著我從事的行業(yè)。這次失敗一點(diǎn)兒都沒(méi)有改變這一點(diǎn)。我被逐了，但我仍愛(ài)著。我決定從新開(kāi)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(méi)有看出來(lái)，但事實(shí)證明“被蘋(píng)果開(kāi)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(jué)如此自由，進(jìn)入一生中最有創(chuàng)造力的階段。接下來(lái)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(lái)成為我妻子的女人相愛(ài)。Pixar出品了世界第一個(gè)電腦動(dòng)畫(huà)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(huà)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(píng)果收購(gòu)了NeXT，我又回到了蘋(píng)果。我們?cè)贜eXT開(kāi)發(fā)的技術(shù)在蘋(píng)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(méi)有被蘋(píng)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(lái)的是我對(duì)自己所做事情的熱愛(ài)。你必須去找你熱愛(ài)的東西，對(duì)工作如此，對(duì)你的愛(ài)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(méi)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(lái)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(guò)一句話(huà)“如果你把每一天都當(dāng)作最后一天過(guò)，有一天你會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)你是正確的”。這句話(huà)給我留下了深刻的印象。從那以后，過(guò)去的三十三年，每天早上我都會(huì)對(duì)著鏡子問(wèn)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(jiàn)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(lái)避開(kāi)擔(dān)心失去某些東西的陷阱。你已經(jīng)赤裸裸了，沒(méi)有理由不聽(tīng)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(wú)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(shuō)十年的話(huà)在幾個(gè)月內(nèi)說(shuō)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(shuō)“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.我整日都與診斷書(shū)待在一起。那天晚上我做了一個(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(guò)胃，直達(dá)小腸，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)服了鎮(zhèn)定劑，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(kāi)始尖叫，因?yàn)榘l(fā)現(xiàn)這竟然是一種非常罕見(jiàn)的可用手術(shù)治愈的胰腺癌癥。我做了手術(shù)，謝天謝地，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(lái)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(shū)面概念的時(shí)候更確信地告訴你們，沒(méi)有人愿意死，即使那些想上天堂的人們也不愿意通過(guò)死亡來(lái)達(dá)到他們的目的。但是死亡是每個(gè)人共同的終點(diǎn)，沒(méi)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)慢慢變老然后被清除。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(jué)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(jué)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(guò)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(huà)，“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.非常感謝。

第三篇：?jiǎn)滩妓寡葜v

史蒂夫喬布斯在斯坦福大學(xué)的演講稿

'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.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 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 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 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.史蒂夫&S226;喬布斯（Steve Jobs）今2005年6 月在斯坦福大學(xué)的演講在經(jīng)過(guò)了一個(gè)夏天之后依然為人所提及。這位蘋(píng)果電腦公司（Apple Computer）和皮克斯動(dòng)畫(huà)公司（Pixar Animation Studios）首席執(zhí)行官在演講中談到了他生活中的三次體驗(yàn)，這三次體驗(yàn)不僅在斯坦福大學(xué)的畢業(yè)生、也在硅谷乃至其他地方的技術(shù)同行中引起了巨大反響。他們將他的演講登在互聯(lián)網(wǎng)上，在博客上展開(kāi)討論，通過(guò)電子郵件互相發(fā)送，在全球傳閱。我們?cè)诖丝侨?，以饗還沒(méi)有看到該演講的讀者。

很榮幸和大家一道參加這所世界上最好的一座大學(xué)的畢業(yè)典禮。我大學(xué)沒(méi)畢業(yè)，說(shuō)實(shí)話(huà)，這是我第一次離大學(xué)畢業(yè)典禮這么近。今天我想給大家講三個(gè)我自己的故事，不講別的，也不講大道理，就講三個(gè)故事。

第一個(gè)故事講的是點(diǎn)與點(diǎn)之間的關(guān)系。我在里德學(xué)院（Reed College）只讀了六個(gè)月就退學(xué)了，此后便在學(xué)校里旁聽(tīng)，又過(guò)了大約一年半，我徹底離開(kāi)。那么，我為什么退學(xué)呢？

這得從我出生前講起。我的生母是一名年輕的未婚在校研究生，她決定將我送給別人收養(yǎng)。她非常希望收養(yǎng)我的是有大學(xué)學(xué)歷的人，所以把一切都安排好了，我一出生就交給一對(duì)律師夫婦收養(yǎng)。沒(méi)想到我落地的霎那間，那對(duì)夫婦卻決定收養(yǎng)一名女孩。就這樣，我的養(yǎng)父母─當(dāng)時(shí)他們還在登記冊(cè)上排隊(duì)等著呢─半夜三更接到一個(gè)電話(huà): “我們這兒有一個(gè)沒(méi)人要的男嬰，你們要么？”“當(dāng)然要”他們回答。但是，我的生母后來(lái)發(fā)現(xiàn)我的養(yǎng)母不是大學(xué)畢業(yè)生，我的養(yǎng)父甚至連中學(xué)都沒(méi)有畢業(yè)，所以她拒絕在最后的收養(yǎng)文件上簽字。不過(guò)，沒(méi)過(guò)幾個(gè)月她就心軟了，因?yàn)槲业酿B(yǎng)父母許諾日后一定送我上大學(xué)。年后，我真的進(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)。讀了六個(gè)月后，我卻看不出上學(xué)有什么意義。我既不知道自己這一生想干什么，也不知道大學(xué)是否能夠幫我弄明白自己想干什么。這時(shí)，我就要花光父母一輩子節(jié)省下來(lái)的錢(qián)了。所以，我決定退學(xué)，并且堅(jiān)信日后會(huì)證明我這樣做是對(duì)的。當(dāng)年做出這個(gè)決定時(shí)心里直打鼓，但現(xiàn)在回想起來(lái)，這還真是我有生以來(lái)做出的最好的決定之一。從退學(xué)那一刻起，我就可以不再選那些我毫無(wú)興趣的必修課，開(kāi)始旁聽(tīng)一些看上去有意思的課。那些日子一點(diǎn)兒都不浪漫。我沒(méi)有宿舍，只能睡在朋友房間的地板上。我去退還可樂(lè)瓶，用那五分錢(qián)的押金來(lái)買(mǎi)吃的。每個(gè)星期天晚上我都要走七英里，到城那頭的黑爾－科里施納禮拜堂去，吃每周才能享用一次的美餐。我喜歡這樣。我憑著好奇心和直覺(jué)所干的這些事情，有許多后來(lái)都證明是無(wú)價(jià)之寶。我給大家舉個(gè)例子: 當(dāng)時(shí)，里德學(xué)院的書(shū)法課大概是全國(guó)最好的。校園里所有的公告欄和每個(gè)抽屜標(biāo)簽上的字都寫(xiě)得非常漂亮。當(dāng)時(shí)我已經(jīng)退學(xué)，不用正常上課，所以我決定選一門(mén)書(shū)法課，學(xué)學(xué)怎么寫(xiě)好字。我學(xué)習(xí)寫(xiě)帶短截線(xiàn)和不帶短截線(xiàn)的印刷字體，根據(jù)不同字母組合調(diào)整其間距，以及怎樣把版式調(diào)整得好上加好。這門(mén)課太棒了，既有歷史價(jià)值，又有藝術(shù)造詣，這一點(diǎn)科學(xué)就做不到，而我覺(jué)得它妙不可言。當(dāng)時(shí)我并不指望書(shū)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(mén)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)。要不是退了學(xué)，我決不會(huì)碰巧選了這門(mén)書(shū)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。當(dāng)然，我在大學(xué)里不可能從這一點(diǎn)上看到它與將來(lái)的關(guān)系。十年之后再回頭看，兩者之間的關(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(lái)；只有回頭看時(shí)，才會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)它們之間的關(guān)系。所以，要相信這些點(diǎn)遲早會(huì)連接到一起。你們必須信賴(lài)某些東西─直覺(jué)、歸宿、生命，還有業(yè)力，等等。這樣做從來(lái)沒(méi)有讓我的希望落空過(guò)，而且還徹底改變了我的生活。

我的第二個(gè)故事是關(guān)于好惡與得失。幸運(yùn)的是，我在很小的時(shí)候就發(fā)現(xiàn)自己喜歡做什么。我在 20 歲時(shí)和沃茲（Woz，蘋(píng)果公司創(chuàng)始人之一 Wozon 的昵稱(chēng)─譯注）在我父母的車(chē)庫(kù)里辦起了蘋(píng)果公司。我們干得很賣(mài)力，十年后，蘋(píng)果公司就從車(chē)庫(kù)里我們兩個(gè)人發(fā)展成為一個(gè)擁有 20 億元資產(chǎn)、4,000 名員工的大企業(yè)。那時(shí)，我們剛剛推出了我們最好的產(chǎn)品─ Macintosh 電腦─那是在第 9 年，我剛滿(mǎn) 30 歲。可后來(lái)，我被解雇了。你怎么會(huì)被自己辦的公司解雇呢？是這樣，隨著蘋(píng)果公司越做越大，我們聘了一位我認(rèn)為非常有才華的人與我一道管理公司。在開(kāi)始的一年多里，一切都很順利?？墒?，隨后我倆對(duì)公司前景的看法開(kāi)始出現(xiàn)分歧，最后我倆反目了。這時(shí)，董事會(huì)站在了他那一邊，所以在 30 歲那年，我離開(kāi)了公司，而且這件事鬧得滿(mǎn)城風(fēng)雨。我成年后的整個(gè)生活重心都沒(méi)有了，這使我心力交瘁。

一連幾個(gè)月，我真的不知道應(yīng)該怎么辦。我感到自己給老一代的創(chuàng)業(yè)者丟了臉─因?yàn)槲胰拥袅私坏阶约菏掷锏慕恿Π簟Ｎ胰ヒ?jiàn)了戴維帕卡德（David Packard，惠普公司創(chuàng)始人之一─譯注）和鮑勃;諾伊斯（Bob Noyce，英特爾公司創(chuàng)建者之一─譯注），想為把事情搞得這么糟糕說(shuō)聲道歉。這次失敗弄得沸沸揚(yáng)揚(yáng)的，我甚至想過(guò)逃離硅谷。但是，漸漸地，我開(kāi)始有了一個(gè)想法─我仍然熱愛(ài)我過(guò)去做的一切。在蘋(píng)果公司發(fā)生的這些**絲毫沒(méi)有改變這一點(diǎn)。我雖然被拒之門(mén)外，但我仍然深?lèi)?ài)我的事業(yè)。于是，我決定從頭開(kāi)始。

雖然當(dāng)時(shí)我并沒(méi)有意識(shí)到，但事實(shí)證明，被蘋(píng)果公司炒魷魚(yú)是我一生中碰到的最好的事情。盡管前景未卜，但從頭開(kāi)始的輕松感取代了保持成功的沉重感。這使我進(jìn)入了一生中最富有創(chuàng)造力的時(shí)期之一。在此后的五年里，我開(kāi)了一家名叫 NeXT 的公司和一家叫皮克斯的公司，我還愛(ài)上一位了不起的女人，后來(lái)娶了她。皮克斯公司推出了世界上第一部用電腦制作的動(dòng)畫(huà)片《玩具總動(dòng)員》（Toy Story），它現(xiàn)在是全球最成功的動(dòng)畫(huà)制作室。世道輪回，蘋(píng)果公司買(mǎi)下 NeXT 后，我又回到了蘋(píng)果公司，我們?cè)?NeXT 公司開(kāi)發(fā)的技術(shù)成了蘋(píng)果公司這次重新崛起的核心。我和勞倫娜（Laurene）也建立了美滿(mǎn)的家庭。我確信，如果不是被蘋(píng)果公司解雇，這一切決不可能發(fā)生。這是一劑苦藥，可我認(rèn)為苦藥利于病。有時(shí)生活會(huì)當(dāng)頭給你一棒，但不要灰心。我堅(jiān)信讓我一往無(wú)前的唯一力量就是我熱愛(ài)我所做的一切。所以，一定得知道自己喜歡什么，選擇愛(ài)人時(shí)如此，選擇工作時(shí)同樣如此。工作將是生活中的一大部分，讓自己真正滿(mǎn)意的唯一辦法，是做自己認(rèn)為是有意義的工作；做有意義的工作的唯一辦法，是熱愛(ài)自己的工作。你們?nèi)绻€沒(méi)有發(fā)現(xiàn)自己喜歡什么，那就不斷地去尋找，不要急于做出決定。就像一切要憑著感覺(jué)去做的事情一樣，一旦找到了自己喜歡的事，感覺(jué)就會(huì)告訴你。就像任何一種美妙的東西，歷久彌新。所以說(shuō)，要不斷地尋找，直到找到自己喜歡的東西。不要半途而廢。

我的第三個(gè)故事與死亡有關(guān)。17 歲那年，我讀到過(guò)這樣一段話(huà)，大意是:“如果把每一天都當(dāng)作生命的最后一天，總有一天你會(huì)如愿以?xún)?。”我記住了這句話(huà)，從那時(shí)起，33 年過(guò)去了，我每天早晨都對(duì)著鏡子自問(wèn): “假如今天是生命的最后一天，我還會(huì)去做今天要做的事嗎？”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。

讓我能夠做出人生重大抉擇的最主要辦法是，記住生命隨時(shí)都有可能結(jié)束。因?yàn)閹缀跛械臇|西─所有對(duì)自身之外的希求、所有的尊嚴(yán)、所有對(duì)困窘和失敗的恐懼─在死亡來(lái)臨時(shí)都將不復(fù)存在，只剩下真正重要的東西。記住自己隨時(shí)都會(huì)死去，這是我所知道的防止患得患失的最好方法。你已經(jīng)一無(wú)所有了，還有什么理由不跟著自己的感覺(jué)走呢。

大約一年前，我被診斷患了癌癥。那天早上七點(diǎn)半，我做了一次掃描檢查，結(jié)果清楚地表明我的胰腺上長(zhǎng)了一個(gè)瘤子，可那時(shí)我連胰腺是什么還不知道呢！醫(yī)生告訴我說(shuō)，幾乎可以確診這是一種無(wú)法治愈的惡性腫瘤，我最多還能活 3 到 6 個(gè)月。醫(yī)生建議我回去把一切都安排好，其實(shí)這是在暗示“準(zhǔn)備后事”。也就是說(shuō)，把今后十年要跟孩子們說(shuō)的事情在這幾個(gè)月內(nèi)囑咐完；也就是說(shuō)，把一切都安排妥當(dāng)，盡可能不給家人留麻煩；也就是說(shuō)，去跟大家訣別。那一整天里，我的腦子一直沒(méi)離開(kāi)這個(gè)診斷。到了晚上，我做了一次組織切片檢查，他們把一個(gè)內(nèi)窺鏡通過(guò)喉嚨穿過(guò)我的胃進(jìn)入腸子，用針頭在胰腺的瘤子上取了一些細(xì)胞組織。當(dāng)時(shí)我用了麻醉劑，陪在一旁的妻子后來(lái)告訴我，醫(yī)生在顯微鏡里看了細(xì)胞之后叫了起來(lái)，原來(lái)這是一種少見(jiàn)的可以通過(guò)外科手術(shù)治愈的惡性腫瘤。我做了手術(shù)，現(xiàn)在好了。這是我和死神離得最近的一次，我希望也是今后幾十年里最近的一次。有了這次經(jīng)歷之后，現(xiàn)在我可以更加實(shí)在地和你們談?wù)撍劳?，而不是純粹紙上談兵，那就? 誰(shuí)都不愿意死。就是那些想進(jìn)天堂的人也不愿意死后再進(jìn)。然而，死亡是我們共同的歸宿，沒(méi)人能擺脫。我們注定會(huì)死，因?yàn)樗劳龊芸赡苁巧詈玫囊豁?xiàng)發(fā)明。它推進(jìn)生命的變遷，舊的不去，新的不來(lái)?，F(xiàn)在，你們就是新的，但在不久的將來(lái)，你們也會(huì)逐漸成為舊的，也會(huì)被淘汰。對(duì)不起，話(huà)說(shuō)得太過(guò)分了，不過(guò)這是千真萬(wàn)確的。

你們的時(shí)間都有限，所以不要按照別人的意愿去活，這是浪費(fèi)時(shí)間。不要囿于成見(jiàn)，那是在按照別人設(shè)想的結(jié)果而活。不要讓別人觀點(diǎn)的聒噪聲淹沒(méi)自己的心聲。最主要的是，要有跟著自己感覺(jué)和直覺(jué)走的勇氣。無(wú)論如何，感覺(jué)和直覺(jué)早就知道你到底想成為什么樣的人，其他都是次要的。

我年輕時(shí)有一本非常好的刊物，叫《全球概覽》（The Whole Earth Catalog），這是我那代人的寶書(shū)之一，創(chuàng)辦人名叫斯圖爾特&S226;布蘭德（Stewart Brand），就住在離這兒不遠(yuǎn)的門(mén)洛帕克市。他用詩(shī)一般的語(yǔ)言把刊物辦得生動(dòng)活潑。那是 20 世紀(jì) 60 年代末，還沒(méi)有個(gè)人電腦和桌面印刷系統(tǒng)，全靠打字機(jī)、剪刀和寶麗萊照相機(jī)（Polaroid）。它就像一種紙質(zhì)的 Google，卻比 Google 早問(wèn)世了 35 年。這份刊物太完美了，查閱手段齊備、構(gòu)思不凡。斯圖爾特和他的同事們出了好幾期《全球概覽》，到最后辦不下去時(shí)，他們出了最后一期。那是 20 世紀(jì) 70 年代中期，我也就是你們現(xiàn)在的年紀(jì)。最后一期的封底上是一張清晨鄉(xiāng)間小路的照片，就是那種愛(ài)冒險(xiǎn)的人等在那兒搭便車(chē)的那種小路。照片下面寫(xiě)道: 好學(xué)若饑、謙卑若愚。那是他們停刊前的告別辭。求知若渴，大智若愚。這也是我一直想做到的。眼下正值諸位大學(xué)畢業(yè)、開(kāi)始新生活之際，我同樣愿大家:

Stay Hungry.Stay Foolish.好學(xué)若饑、謙卑若愚。

第四篇：?jiǎn)滩妓寡葜v

今天在火車(chē)上，用ipad上網(wǎng)，看到喬布斯去世的消息，有一個(gè)時(shí)代過(guò)去了的感覺(jué)------

轉(zhuǎn)發(fā)喬布斯2005年在斯坦福大學(xué)畢業(yè)典禮上的演講，紀(jì)念一下。

很榮幸我能來(lái)到世界上最優(yōu)秀的學(xué)府。說(shuō)實(shí)話(huà)，我大學(xué)沒(méi)有畢業(yè)。參加畢業(yè)生典禮是我和畢業(yè)這件事最近距離的接觸了。今天，我要講3個(gè)故事。沒(méi)有什么特別的，只是3個(gè)小故事。

第一個(gè)是關(guān)于連接生命軌跡的故事。

我上大學(xué)6個(gè)月后休學(xué)。在接下來(lái)的18個(gè)月里，我作為休學(xué)生到處閑逛，之后才徹底退學(xué)。我為什么退學(xué)？這好像是我出生之前就已經(jīng)注定的命運(yùn)。我的生母是個(gè)未婚大學(xué)生。因此決定將我登記被領(lǐng)養(yǎng)。但是她有一個(gè)非常堅(jiān)定的領(lǐng)養(yǎng)條件：收養(yǎng)者必須是大學(xué)畢業(yè)生。收養(yǎng)部門(mén)最后終于得以安排一位律師和他的妻子收養(yǎng)我。只是在最后一刻，當(dāng)把我的資料遞送他們時(shí)，他們最終決定要收養(yǎng)一個(gè)女孩。所以，我之后的養(yǎng)父母在半夜接到電話(huà)，說(shuō)：“這里意外地來(lái)了一個(gè)新生兒，但是個(gè)男孩。你們?cè)敢馐震B(yǎng)嗎？” 我的養(yǎng)父母說(shuō)：“當(dāng)然愿意。” 后來(lái)，我的生母了解到，我的養(yǎng)母大學(xué)肄業(yè)，我的養(yǎng)父連高中都沒(méi)有讀完，因此而拒絕在領(lǐng)養(yǎng)書(shū)上簽字。直到數(shù)月后，我的養(yǎng)父母承諾一定讓我讀大學(xué)，她才同意。這就是我的生命之初。

17年后，我終于上了大學(xué)。但是，我卻選擇了學(xué)費(fèi)最昂貴的斯坦福大學(xué)。我父母的所有積蓄都被用于為我交學(xué)費(fèi)。上大學(xué)6個(gè)月后，我實(shí)在看不出上大學(xué)有什么價(jià)值。當(dāng)時(shí)，我沒(méi)有人生的目標(biāo)，而上大學(xué)似乎也無(wú)法幫助我厘清我的人生目標(biāo)。而我卻花盡了父母畢生的積蓄。所以我決定退學(xué)。我同時(shí)確信這對(duì)我的前途不會(huì)有什么影響。退學(xué)在當(dāng)時(shí)看來(lái)是很可怕的一件事。但是，現(xiàn)在回頭看，這是我一生中所作出的最正確的決定。退學(xué)只是放棄了學(xué)習(xí)我不感興趣的東西。然而，我卻有了時(shí)間去學(xué)習(xí)我感興趣的知識(shí)。但是，這并不是件浪漫的事。我沒(méi)有了宿舍，只能睡在朋友宿舍的地板上。我用退可樂(lè)瓶的押金（每個(gè)5美分）去買(mǎi)食物。我每個(gè)周日晚上步行7英里去基督教堂吃免費(fèi)的晚餐。我非常享受這樣的生活。因?yàn)椴蝗ド蠈W(xué)，我學(xué)習(xí)的內(nèi)容可以完全依據(jù)我的興趣而定。后來(lái)被證明，這是個(gè)極其寶貴的經(jīng)歷。舉一個(gè)例子：當(dāng)時(shí)大學(xué)里隨處可見(jiàn)的字體在國(guó)內(nèi)是最漂亮的，校園里的海報(bào)，抽屜上的標(biāo)簽。因此，我決定去上書(shū)法課，為了能寫(xiě)出同樣漂亮的字。我學(xué)習(xí)寫(xiě)不同的字體，選擇合適的字號(hào)，安排字母間合理的間距。這一切令我著迷，非常美好。而且具有歷史性的意義。然而，10年后，當(dāng)我們?cè)O(shè)計(jì)第一款蘋(píng)果電腦時(shí)，它的意義便凸顯出來(lái)。我們的Macintosh電腦采用了最漂亮的字體設(shè)計(jì)。如果我當(dāng)時(shí)沒(méi)有自修書(shū)法課，蘋(píng)果電腦不會(huì)為使用者提供了多種字體和字號(hào)的選擇。由于微軟的視窗系統(tǒng)抄襲了蘋(píng)果，因此，如果我們未開(kāi)此先河，沒(méi)有任何電腦系統(tǒng)會(huì)這樣做。當(dāng)然，在我上大學(xué)時(shí)，無(wú)法看到這么遠(yuǎn)的未來(lái)。但當(dāng)我回頭看過(guò)去那10年時(shí)，這樣的必然聯(lián)系清晰可見(jiàn)。因此，我們無(wú)法預(yù)知未來(lái)，只有當(dāng)我們回望時(shí)，才可能串連起人生發(fā)展的軌跡。你必須相信：你現(xiàn)在做的一切都與你的未來(lái)相連接。你必須要相信某樣?xùn)|西：你的勇氣、你的生命、你的宿命。。因?yàn)椋嘈拍悻F(xiàn)在所做的一切會(huì)決定你的未來(lái)，會(huì)給予你堅(jiān)定的信念去跟隨你內(nèi)心的愿望，去編織你未來(lái)的夢(mèng)想。這樣，你的生命才會(huì)有所不同。

我的第二個(gè)故事是關(guān)于愛(ài)和失去。

我很幸運(yùn)。我還在很年輕的時(shí)候就找到了我愿意做的事情。我20歲時(shí)在父母的車(chē)庫(kù)開(kāi)始研究Mac電腦。我們工作很努力，僅用10年，蘋(píng)果公司就從在車(chē)庫(kù)工作的我們兩個(gè)人發(fā)展成為年?duì)I業(yè)額20億美元，擁有4000名員工的大公司。我們一年后推出Macintosh的時(shí)候，我才剛滿(mǎn)30歲。但是，我卻被解雇了。我怎么會(huì)被自己創(chuàng)辦的公司解雇呢？隨著公司業(yè)務(wù)的發(fā)展，我雇傭了一個(gè)我當(dāng)時(shí)認(rèn)為非常有才干的職業(yè)經(jīng)理人。第一年，我們合作地很好。之后，我們對(duì)公司的發(fā)展愿景產(chǎn)生了分歧。最后，公司業(yè)績(jī)下滑。隨后，公司董事長(zhǎng)和他商量決定將我趕走。而且，這個(gè)消息被公之于眾。

頃刻間，我生命的軌跡被切斷。這簡(jiǎn)直是場(chǎng)災(zāi)難。頭幾個(gè)月，我無(wú)所事事。我感到自己辜負(fù)了早期那批年輕創(chuàng)業(yè)者的期望。我甚至找到David和Bob,為自己過(guò)去和他們很兇地發(fā)脾氣而道歉。我在公眾面前是個(gè)失敗者。我甚至想到過(guò)跳崖。

但是慢慢地我開(kāi)始清醒。我依然熱愛(ài)我所做的事。被蘋(píng)果公司趕出來(lái)也無(wú)法改變這一點(diǎn)。雖然我被拒絕了，然而我的心中依然有愛(ài)。因此，我決定重整旗鼓。我那時(shí)還看不出，但后來(lái)被證明，被蘋(píng)果解雇是我生命中所發(fā)生過(guò)的最好的一件事：從零開(kāi)始的創(chuàng)業(yè)者的輕松代替了事業(yè)成功的愉悅。我獲得了精神上的解放。那段時(shí)間是我生命中最富創(chuàng)造力的階段。在接下來(lái)的5年里，我接連創(chuàng)建了Next和Pixar兩間公司。我還遇到了我生命中最重要的女人并和她結(jié)婚。后來(lái)，蘋(píng)果公司收購(gòu)了Next。我又得以再次回歸蘋(píng)果公司。而Next公司所開(kāi)發(fā)的技術(shù)后來(lái)成為蘋(píng)果公司再次復(fù)興的核心力量。我和妻子也有了一個(gè)幸福的家庭。

我一直相信，如果當(dāng)年蘋(píng)果公司沒(méi)有解雇我，后來(lái)的一切都不會(huì)發(fā)生。我相信：良藥苦口，但利于病。有時(shí)，命運(yùn)會(huì)給我們當(dāng)頭一棒。但不要失去信念。我相信，支撐我堅(jiān)持下去的力量來(lái)自我鐘愛(ài)的事業(yè)。你必須要找到你的所愛(ài)，工作如此，人生伴侶的選擇亦如此。工作占據(jù)了人生很大的部分，只有確信你所做的事是有意義的，你的工作才能給你帶來(lái)滿(mǎn)足感。工作出色的前提條件是你熱愛(ài)你的工作。如果你尚未找到你的所愛(ài)，繼續(xù)尋找，不要停下來(lái)。你的心會(huì)知道你是否已經(jīng)找到你的所愛(ài)。正如任何和諧的關(guān)系一樣，當(dāng)你找到了你的至愛(ài)，隨著時(shí)間的推移，你們之間會(huì)越來(lái)越和諧。

我要講的第三個(gè)故事有關(guān)死亡。

我17歲時(shí)讀到過(guò)一句格言：“如果你將生命中的每一天都視作你生命的最后一天來(lái)過(guò)，終有一天，你會(huì)找到正確的人生道路。” 我對(duì)這句話(huà)印象深刻。從此以后，在過(guò)去的33年中，我每天早上對(duì)著鏡子中的自己發(fā)問(wèn)：“如果今天就是我生命的最后一天，我是否還會(huì)去做我今天計(jì)劃中要做的事？”如果接連幾天我的回答都是否定的，那我便知道我應(yīng)該作出改變了。牢記“人終有一死”是我所獲得的最重要的工具，它幫助我作出人生的選擇。因?yàn)椋松袔缀跞魏我粯妒虑?，如：期望、自尊、恐懼、困窘和失敗，在死亡面前都?huì)瞬間崩潰。“只做重要的事”，“人終有一死”，牢記這些是我所知曉的避免讓自己陷入患得患失的最重要的方法。此時(shí)你已經(jīng)孑然一身，因此你沒(méi)有理由不去傾聽(tīng)自己內(nèi)心的聲音。大約一年前，我被診斷患癌癥。某天早上，7點(diǎn)半，我去做掃描檢查。儀器上清晰地顯示我的胰腺部位有腫瘤。我根本都不知道胰腺是個(gè)什么東西。醫(yī)生說(shuō)：“我們幾乎可以確定這是一種無(wú)法治愈的腫瘤。估計(jì)你的存活時(shí)間不會(huì)長(zhǎng)于3－6個(gè)月?！贬t(yī)生建議我回家，將自己的事情料理好。這是醫(yī)生對(duì)“回家等死”的專(zhuān)業(yè)用語(yǔ)。這意味著我原以為自己有10年的時(shí)間來(lái)教導(dǎo)我的孩子，而現(xiàn)在我只有幾個(gè)月的時(shí)間了。也意味著要把家事安排妥當(dāng)，使家人今后的生活盡可能輕松。這還意味著我要和所有人說(shuō)再見(jiàn)。

一整天，我滿(mǎn)腦子都是那個(gè)診斷結(jié)果。到了晚上，醫(yī)生為我做活檢。他們將內(nèi)窺鏡插入我的喉嚨，再通過(guò)胃放入大腸。然后對(duì)我的胰腺部位進(jìn)行針刺，從腫瘤上取下一些癌細(xì)胞。醫(yī)生對(duì)我進(jìn)行了麻醉。但是我的妻子陪伴在我身邊。她告訴我，當(dāng)醫(yī)生在顯微鏡下觀察癌細(xì)胞時(shí)，他們開(kāi)始哭了。因?yàn)?，我患的是一種極其罕見(jiàn)的胰腺癌，可以通過(guò)手術(shù)治愈。我接受了手術(shù)，現(xiàn)在，我沒(méi)事了。

這是我與死亡最近距離的一次接觸。我希望在未來(lái)的幾十年里都不要比這一次更近。經(jīng)歷了這一切，我今天才能以更加確定的口吻和你們暢談我的人生觀。在此之前，死亡不過(guò)是一個(gè)有用的學(xué)術(shù)概念。

沒(méi)有人想死。即使想去天堂的人也不希望赴死去那里。誠(chéng)然，死亡是我們所有人共有的終點(diǎn)，沒(méi)人逃的掉。死亡是生命唯一最好的發(fā)明創(chuàng)造。而事實(shí)上也只能是這樣。死亡是生命變遷的催化劑，吐故納新?，F(xiàn)在，你們屬于“新”。但是終有一天，就在不久的將來(lái)，你們也會(huì)成為“故”而被“吐”掉。很抱歉我使用了非常戲劇性的說(shuō)法，但是這再真實(shí)不過(guò)了。

你們的時(shí)間是有限的。因此，不要浪費(fèi)你們的時(shí)間去過(guò)別人的生活。不要陷入教條，即：按照別人的想法活出你的人生。不要讓別人嘈雜的觀點(diǎn)淹沒(méi)你內(nèi)心的聲音。此外，最重要的是鼓足勇氣，跟隨你內(nèi)心的聲音，相信你的直覺(jué)。你的內(nèi)心其實(shí)非常清楚你想成為什么樣的人。除此之外都是次要的。

我年輕的時(shí)候，有一本妙不可言的雜志，叫作《地球全錄》，是我們那一代人的圣經(jīng)。它的創(chuàng)辦人是Stewart Brand，就住在離這里不遠(yuǎn)的Menlo Park。這本雜志讓生活充滿(mǎn)詩(shī)意。那是60年代末，還沒(méi)有個(gè)人電腦和桌面出版物。因此雜志的編輯工作全仰仗打字機(jī)、剪刀和立拍得。它類(lèi)似于現(xiàn)在谷歌的紙書(shū)形式，只是比谷歌早了35年。這本雜志的觀點(diǎn)極具理想主義色彩，并提供了許多靈巧的工具和偉大的主張。

Stewart 和他的團(tuán)隊(duì)在發(fā)行了數(shù)版后，時(shí)過(guò)境遷，他們最終停刊。然后到了70年代中期，我的時(shí)代到來(lái)。在他們最后一期雜志的封底上，有一張清晨鄉(xiāng)間小路的照片，是那種有冒險(xiǎn)精神的人搭便車(chē)的感覺(jué)。照片下方有一行字：“永保求知的欲望，永保率真的愚氣”。這就是他們關(guān)張的告別語(yǔ)，“永保求知的欲望，永保率真的愚氣”。我總是希望自己保持這樣的狀態(tài)?，F(xiàn)在，在你們即將畢業(yè)揭開(kāi)人生嶄新篇章的時(shí)刻，這也是我對(duì)你們的寄語(yǔ)：永保求知的欲望，永保率真的愚氣。

第五篇：《喬布斯演講》觀后感

他的第一個(gè)故事關(guān)于生活。他十七歲就上了大學(xué)。但他不喜歡那些必修課，他只是選修了一個(gè)書(shū)法班。并且很快就休學(xué)了。之后，他經(jīng)歷了非常艱苦的生活。但是十年后,他們?cè)O(shè)計(jì)了第一臺(tái)Macintosh電腦,這是第一臺(tái)使用了漂亮的印刷字體的電腦，這完全得益于他大學(xué)時(shí)選修的書(shū)法課。喬布斯說(shuō)，你不可能在一個(gè)點(diǎn)上看到將來(lái)，只有回頭看時(shí)才會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)它們之間的聯(lián)系。所以要相信這些點(diǎn)遲早會(huì)連接到一起。

他的第二個(gè)故事關(guān)于愛(ài)與失去。當(dāng)他20歲的時(shí)候,他和他的朋友成立了一個(gè)公司。可是在30歲時(shí)，由于意見(jiàn)不合，他被自己的公司解雇了。但他仍然愛(ài)他的工作。后來(lái),他又開(kāi)了兩家公司：NeXT和皮克斯。后來(lái)蘋(píng)果收購(gòu)NeXT,他又回到曾經(jīng)他自己的公司。之后他取得了十分輝煌的成就。為什么他能成功呢？我認(rèn)為原因很簡(jiǎn)單——做你喜歡的事。

他的第三個(gè)故事關(guān)于死亡。他經(jīng)歷了癌癥的威脅，雖然后來(lái)手術(shù)成功了。但是他說(shuō)“如果你把每一天當(dāng)成是最后一天。你將肯定是正確的。所有的錢(qián)和榮譽(yù)在死亡面前都會(huì)消失，留下的是真正重要的東西。我們應(yīng)該根據(jù)自己的想法生活。

求知若饑，虛心若愚。
