第一篇：喬布斯演講稿

喬布斯演講稿

喬布斯演講稿,史蒂夫 喬布斯(Steve Jobs)在斯坦福大學(xué)2005年畢業(yè)典禮上的演講.喬布斯演講稿我今天很榮幸能和你們一起參加畢業(yè)典禮，斯坦福大學(xué)是世界上最好的大學(xué)之一。我從來沒有從大學(xué)中畢業(yè)。說實話，今天也許是在我的生命中離大學(xué)畢業(yè)最近的一天了。

今天我想向你們講述我生活中的三個故事。不是什么大不了的事情,只是三個故事而已。

第一個故事是關(guān)于如何把生命中的點點滴滴串連起來。我在Reed大學(xué)讀了六個月之后就退學(xué)了，但是在十八個月以后——我真正的作出退學(xué)決定之前，我還經(jīng)常去學(xué)校。我為什么要退學(xué)呢？

故事從我出生的時候講起。我的親生母親是一個年輕的，沒有結(jié)婚的大學(xué)畢業(yè)生。她決定讓別人收養(yǎng)我，她十分想讓我被大學(xué)畢業(yè)生收養(yǎng)。

所以在我出生的時候，她已經(jīng)做好了一切的準(zhǔn)備工作。所以我的養(yǎng)父母突然在半夜接到了一個電話“我們現(xiàn)在這兒有一個不小心生出來的男嬰:,你們想要他嗎？” 他們回答道: “當(dāng)然！”但是我親生母親隨后發(fā)現(xiàn)，我的養(yǎng)母從來沒有上過大學(xué),我的養(yǎng)父 甚至從沒有讀過高中。她拒絕簽這個收養(yǎng)合同。只是在幾個月以后,我的父母答應(yīng)她一定要讓我上大學(xué),那個時候她才勉強同意。

在十七歲那年,我真的上了大學(xué)。但是我很愚蠢的選擇了一個幾乎和你們斯坦福大學(xué)一樣貴的學(xué)校, 我父母還處于藍(lán)領(lǐng)階層，他們幾乎把所有積蓄都花在了我的學(xué)費上面。

在六個月后, 我已經(jīng)看不到其中的價值所在。我不知道我真正想要做什么,我也不知道大學(xué)能怎樣幫助我找到答案。但是在這里，我?guī)缀趸ü饬宋腋改高@一輩子的 全部積蓄。

所以我決定要退學(xué)，我覺得這是個正確的決定。不能否認(rèn)，我當(dāng)時確實非常的害怕，但是現(xiàn)在回頭看看，那的確是我這一生中最棒的一個決定。在我做出退學(xué)決定的那一刻，我終于可以不必去讀那些令我提不起絲毫興趣的課程了。然后我可以開始去修那些看起來有點意思的課程。

但是這并不是那么浪漫。我失去了我的宿舍,所以我只能在朋友房間的地板上面睡覺,我去撿可以換5美分的可樂罐，喬布斯演講稿僅僅為了填飽肚子, 在星期天的晚上,我需要走七英里的路程，穿過這個城市到Hare Krishna神廟（注：位于紐約Brooklyn中心）,只是為了能吃上好飯——這個星期唯一一頓好一點的飯，我喜歡那里的飯菜。

我跟著我的直覺和好奇心走, 遇到的很多東西,此后被證明是無價之寶。

讓我給你們舉一個例子吧：

Reed大學(xué)在那時提供也許是全美最好的美術(shù)字課程。在這個大學(xué)里面的每個海報, 每個抽屜的標(biāo)簽上面全都是漂亮的美術(shù)字。因為我退學(xué)了, 不必去上正規(guī)的課程, 所以我決定去參加這個課程，去學(xué)學(xué)怎樣寫出漂亮的美術(shù)字。

我學(xué)到了san serif 和serif字體, 我學(xué)會了怎么樣在不同的字母組合之中改變空白間距, 還有怎么樣才能作出最棒的印刷式樣。那種美好、歷史感和藝術(shù)精妙，是科學(xué)永遠(yuǎn)不能捕捉到的, 我發(fā)現(xiàn)那實在是太迷人了。

當(dāng)時看起來這些東西在我的生命中，好像都沒有什么實際應(yīng)用的可能。但是十年之后,當(dāng)我們在設(shè)計第一臺Macintosh電腦的時候,就不是那樣了。我把當(dāng)時我學(xué)的那些 東西全都設(shè)計進(jìn)了Mac。那是第一臺使用了漂亮的印刷字體的電腦。如果我當(dāng)時沒有退學(xué), 就不會有機會去參加這個我感興趣的美術(shù)字課程, Mac就不會有這么多豐富的字體，以及賞心悅目的字體間距。因 為Windows只是照抄了Mac，所以現(xiàn)在個人電腦才能有現(xiàn)在這么美妙的字型。

當(dāng)然我在大學(xué)的時候，還不可能把從前的點點滴滴串連起來,但是當(dāng)我十年后回顧這一切的時候,真的豁然開朗了。

再次說明的是,你在向前展望的時候不可能將這些片斷串連起來；你只能在回顧的時候?qū)Ⅻc點滴滴串連起來。所以你必須相信這些片斷會在你未來的某一天串連起來。你必須要相信某些東西：喬布斯演講稿你的勇氣、目的、生命、因緣......這個過程從來沒有令我失望,只是讓我的生命更加地與眾不同。我的第二個故事是關(guān)于愛和失去。

我非常幸運, 因為我在很早的時候就找到了我鐘愛的東西。Woz和我在二十歲的時候就在父母的車庫里面開創(chuàng)了蘋果公司。我們工作得很努力, 十年之后, 這個公司從那兩個車庫中的窮小子發(fā)展到了超過四千名的雇員、價值超過二十億的大公司。

在公司成立的第九年,我們剛剛發(fā)布了最好的產(chǎn)品,那就是Macintosh。我也快要到三十歲了。在那一年, 我被炒了魷魚。你怎么可能被你自己創(chuàng)立的公司炒了魷魚呢? 嗯,在蘋果快速成長的時候，我們雇用了一個很有天分的家伙和我一起管理這個公司, 在最初的幾年,公司運轉(zhuǎn)的很好。

但是后來我們對未來的看法發(fā)生了分歧, 最終我們吵了起來。當(dāng)爭吵到不可開交的時候, 董事會站在了他的那一邊。所以在三十歲的時候, 我被炒了。在這么多人目光下我被炒了。在而立之年，我生命的全部支柱離自己遠(yuǎn)去, 這真是毀滅性的打擊。

在最初的幾個月里，我真是不知道該做些什么。我覺得我很令上一代的創(chuàng)業(yè)家們很失望，我把他們交給我的接力棒弄丟了。我和創(chuàng)辦惠普的David Pack、創(chuàng)辦Intel的Bob Noyce見面，并試圖向他們道歉。我把事情弄得糟糕透頂了。但是我漸漸發(fā)現(xiàn)了曙光，我仍然喜愛我從事的這些東西。蘋果公司發(fā)生的這些事情絲毫的沒有改變這些, 一點也沒有。喬布斯演講稿我被驅(qū)逐了，但是我仍然鐘愛我所做的事情。

所以我決定從頭再來。我當(dāng)時沒有覺察, 但是事后證明，從蘋果公司被炒是我這輩子發(fā)生的最棒的事情。因為，作為一個成功者的負(fù)重感被作為一個創(chuàng)業(yè)者的輕松感覺所重新代替, 沒有比這更確定的事情了。這讓我覺得如此自由, 進(jìn)入了我生命中最有創(chuàng)造力的一個階段。

在接下來的五年里，我創(chuàng)立了一個名叫NeXT的公司, 還有一個叫Pixar的公司, 然后和一個后來成為我妻子的優(yōu)雅女人相識。Pixar制作了世界上第一個用電腦制作的動畫電影——“玩具總動員”，Pixar現(xiàn)在也是世界上最成功的電腦制作工作室。

喬布斯在ipad發(fā)布會上

在后來的一系列運轉(zhuǎn)中,Apple收購了NeXT，然后我又回到了Apple公司。我們在NeXT發(fā)展的技術(shù)在Apple的今天的復(fù)興之中發(fā)揮了關(guān)鍵的作用。而且，我還和Laurence 一起建立了一個幸福完美的家庭。

我可以非?？隙?如果我不被Apple開除的話，這些事情一件也不會發(fā)生的。這個良藥的味道實在是太苦了，但是我想病人需要這個藥。有些時候, 生活會拿起一塊磚頭向你的腦袋上猛拍一下。

不要失去信仰。我很清楚唯一使我一直走下去的，就是我做的事情令我無比鐘愛。你需要去找到你所愛的東西。對于工作是如此，對于你的愛人也是如此。你的工作將會占據(jù)生活中很大的一部分。你只有相信自己所做的是偉大的工作，你才能怡然自得。如果你現(xiàn)在還沒有找到，那么繼續(xù)找、不要停下來，只要全心全意的去找，在你找到的時候，你的心會告訴你的。就像任何真誠的關(guān)系，隨著歲月的流逝只會越來越緊密。所以繼續(xù)找，直到你找到它，不要停下來！我的第三個故事是關(guān)于死亡的。

當(dāng)我十七歲的時候, 我讀到了一句話：“如果你把每一天都當(dāng)作生命中最后一天去生活的話,那么有一天你會發(fā)現(xiàn)你是正確的?！边@句話給我留下了一個印象。從那時開始,過了33 年，我在每天早晨都會對著鏡子問自己:“如果今天是我生命中的最后一天, 你會不會完成你今天想做的事情呢？”當(dāng)答案連續(xù)多天是“No”的時候, 我知道自己需要改變某些事情了。

記住你即將死去”是我一生中遇到的最重要箴言。它幫我指明了生命中重要的選擇。因為幾乎所有的事情, 包括所有的榮譽、所有的驕傲、所有對難堪和失敗的恐懼,這些在死亡面前都會消失。喬布斯演講稿我看到的是留下的真正重要的東西。你有時候會思考你將會失去某些東西, “記住你即將死去”是我知道的避免這些想法的最好辦法。你已經(jīng)赤身裸體了，你沒有理由不去跟隨自己內(nèi)心的聲音。大概一年以前, 我被診斷出癌癥。我在早晨七點半做了一個檢查, 檢查清楚的顯示在我的胰腺有一個腫瘤。我當(dāng)時都不知道胰腺是什么東西。醫(yī)生告訴我那很可能是一種無法治愈的癌癥, 我還有三到六個月的時間活在這個世界上。我的醫(yī)生叫我回家, 然后整理好我的一切, 那是醫(yī)生對臨終病人的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)程序。那意味著你將要把未來十年對你小孩說的話在幾個月里面說完.；那意味著把每件事情都安排好, 讓你的家人會盡可能輕松的生活；那意味著你要說“再見了”。我拿著那個診斷書過了一整天，那天晚上我作了一個活切片檢查，醫(yī)生將一個內(nèi)窺鏡從我的喉嚨伸進(jìn)去,通過我的胃, 然后進(jìn)入我的腸子, 用一根針在我的胰腺上的腫瘤上取了幾個細(xì)胞。我當(dāng)時是被麻醉的，但是我的妻子在那里, 后來告訴我，當(dāng)醫(yī)生在顯微鏡下觀察這些細(xì)胞的時候他們開始哭, 因為這些細(xì)胞最后竟然是一種非常罕見的可以用手術(shù)治愈的胰腺癌癥細(xì)胞。我做了這個手術(shù)，現(xiàn)在我痊愈了。

那是我最接近死亡的時候, 我希望這也是以后的幾十年最接近的一次。從死亡線上又活了過來, 我可以比以前把死亡只當(dāng)成一 種想象中的概念的時候，更肯定一點地對你們說：

沒有人愿意死, 即使人們想上天堂, 也不會為了去那里而死。但是死亡是我們每個人共同的終點。從來沒有人能夠逃脫它。也應(yīng)該如此。因為死亡就是生命中最好的一個發(fā)明。它將舊的清除以便給新的讓路。喬布斯演講稿你們現(xiàn)在是新的, 但是從現(xiàn)在開始不久以后, 你們將會逐漸的變成舊的然后被送離人生舞臺。我很抱歉這很戲劇性, 但是這十分的真實。

你們的時間很有限, 所以不要將他們浪費在重復(fù)其他人的生活上。不要被教條束縛,那意味著你和其他人思考的結(jié)果一起生活。不要被其他人喧囂的觀點掩蓋你真正的內(nèi)心的聲音。還有最重要的是, 你要有勇氣去聽從你直覺和心靈的指示——它們在某種程度上知道你想要成為什么樣子，所有其他的事情都是次要的。當(dāng)我年輕的時候，有一本叫做“整個地球的目錄”振聾發(fā)聵的雜志，它是我們那一代人的圣經(jīng)之一。它是一個叫Stewart Brand的家伙在離這里不遠(yuǎn)的Menlo Park編輯的，他象詩一般神奇地將這本書帶到了這個世界。

那是六十年代后期, 在個人電腦出現(xiàn)之前, 所以這本書全部是用打字機,、剪刀還有偏光鏡制造的。有點像用軟皮包裝的Google, 在Google出現(xiàn)三十五年之前：這是理想主義的，其中有許多靈巧的工具和偉大的想法。Stewart和他的伙伴出版了幾期的“整個地球的目錄”，當(dāng)它完成了自己使命的時候，他們做出了最后一期的目錄。喬布斯演講稿那是在七十年代的中期, 我正是你們的年紀(jì)。

在最后一期的封底上是清晨鄉(xiāng)村公路的照片（如果你有冒險精神的話，你可以自己找到這條路的），在照片之下有這樣一段話：“求知若饑，虛心若愚。”這是他們停止了發(fā)刊的告別語。

“求知若饑，虛心若愚。（stay hungry,stay foolish）”我總是希望自己能夠那樣,現(xiàn)在，在你們即將畢業(yè)，開始新的旅程的時候，我也希望你們能這樣:求知若饑，虛心若愚。

非常感謝你們！

巧言激將，弱女子保全性命

當(dāng)年，由于吳三桂與劉宗敏為了爭奪號稱色、藝、才三絕的陳圓圓而弄得滿城風(fēng)雨，李自成覺得這種“禍水”留不得，便向衛(wèi)士下令把陳圓圓拉出去勒死。衛(wèi)士們還未動手，陳圓圓自己站了起來，看了李自成一眼后，微微冷笑一聲，轉(zhuǎn)身就想走。李自成大喝道：“回來！你冷笑什么？”

陳圓圓又跪下，說：“小女子早聞大王威名，以為是位縱橫天下、叱咤風(fēng)云的大英雄，想不到??”“想不到什么？”“想不到大王卻畏懼一個弱女子！”“孤怎么會畏你？”“大王，小女子也出身良家，墮入煙花，飽嘗風(fēng)塵之苦，實屬身不由己。

初被皇親田畹霸占，后被吳總兵奪去，大王手下劉將爺又圍府將小女子搶來，皆非小女子本意。請問大王，小女子自身又有何罪過？

大王仗劍起義，不是要解民于倒懸，救天下之無辜嗎？小女子乃無辜之人，大王卻要賜死，不是畏懼小女子又作何解釋呢？”李自成被陳圓圓這一席話問住了，難以作答，只好抬抬手：“你且起來說話。”陳圓圓給李自成叩了個頭，說了聲：“謝大王！”然后站起身說：“為大王計，大王殺小女子實為不智。” “怎么不智？”“小女子看宮中情形，大王有撤出京城的打算，不知是也不是？”“就算孤有這種打算，那又怎么樣？”喬布斯演講稿“大王是打算全師平安撤走，還是被追襲而奔呢？”“想平安撤走，又當(dāng)如何？”“大王，吳總兵為先鋒，兵勢甚銳，小女子聽說他正向京師進(jìn)逼。

小女子螻蟻之命，大王殺了我，對大王無絲毫益處，留下小女子，小女子感念大王不殺之德，當(dāng)盡心竭力，使吳總兵滯留京師，不再追襲。大王可保全實力，全師而撤，鞏固西京，不久又可東山再起。趨利避害，請大王三思?！?陳圓圓的話觸到了李自成的心病，他不由身子前顧，問道：“你果然能使吳三桂滯留京師嗎？”

“大王想必知道，吳總兵降而復(fù)叛，由小女子而起，大王殺了小女子，必然激起他更大的復(fù)仇心，以致日夜兼程，追襲不休。大王如留下小女子，小女子指天為誓，千方百計也要使他滯留京城，不再追襲?！薄昂?，孤王相信你，留下你了。”李自成被陳圓圓說服了。

美國總統(tǒng)奧巴馬（Barack Obama）通過白宮官方博客，對蘋果聯(lián)合創(chuàng)始人、董事長史蒂夫·喬布斯（Steve Jobs）的去世發(fā)表悼詞。悼詞全文如下：

驚聞史蒂夫·喬布斯去世的消息，米歇爾（奧巴馬夫人）和我都倍感悲痛。史蒂夫是美國歷史上最偉大的創(chuàng)新者之一，他勇于與眾不同地思考問題，敢于相信他可以改變世界，他的天賦和才華也使他做到這點。

他在車庫里建立了這個星球上最成功的公司之一，充分體現(xiàn)了美國人的創(chuàng)造力。通過使電腦個人化，將互聯(lián)網(wǎng)裝進(jìn)我們的口袋里，他不但讓人們可以享受到信息革命的成果，而且使這種革命變得直觀和有趣。

他的天賦和才華成為家喻戶曉的故事，喬布斯演講稿他為數(shù)以百萬計的兒童和成年人都帶來了快樂。史蒂夫很喜歡說，他過的每一天都像是最后一天。正如他所做到的，他改變了我們的生活，重新定義了所有行業(yè)，并實現(xiàn)了人類歷史上最罕見的壯舉之一：即他改變了我們每個人看這個世界的方式。

世界失去了一位有遠(yuǎn)見卓識的人。全世界很多人都知道他發(fā)明的產(chǎn)品，這足以說明史蒂夫的成功。米歇爾和我要向史蒂夫的妻子勞倫（Laurene）、他的家人以及所有愛他的人，送去我們的思念和祈禱。

如果你到一個朋友家里，朋友對你異?？蜌猓忝空f一句話，他都唯唯諾諾，和你說話時，總是滿嘴的客套話，唯恐你不高興，唯恐得罪你。如此一來，你一定覺得如芒刺背，坐立不安，迫不及待地從他家逃了出來，終于如釋重負(fù)。這情形你大概經(jīng)歷過不少，但同時你得想想，你會如此對待你的客人嗎？雖然是客氣，但這客氣顯然是讓人不自在的?！凹核挥鹗┯谌恕?。請大家謹(jǐn)記這句話。

剛見面時的幾句客氣話倒不成問題，若繼續(xù)說個不停，就不太適當(dāng)了。談話的目的在溝通彼此的情感，在增添彼此生活中的樂趣，而客氣話卻恰恰是橫擋在彼此之間的一堵墻，如果不把這堵墻移走，人們只能隔著墻，作極表面的敷衍應(yīng)酬而已。

朋友初次見面，略談幾句客套話后，第二、第三次的見面就最好少用。那些“閣下”、“府上”等名詞，如果一直使用下去，則真摯的友誼必然無法建立。

客氣話是表示你的恭敬或感激，不是用來敷衍朋友的，所以要適可而止，多用就流于迂腐、流于浮泛、流于虛偽。有人替你做一點小小的事情，譬如倒一杯茶。你說“謝謝”也就夠了。要是在特殊的情形下，喬布斯演講稿最多說聲：“對不起，這點事情也要麻煩你?！边@就夠了。但是有些人卻要說“呵，謝謝你，真對不起，我不該拿這點小事情麻煩你，使我覺得真是難過，實在太感激了……”等一大串，即使你在旁邊看見也會覺得不舒服，可是你自己不也有這樣的毛病嗎?

說客氣話的時候要十分真誠，像把背得滾瓜爛熟的成語說出來的客氣話，最易使人生厭，因成語并不帶有一絲個人情感在內(nèi)，而客氣話也是如此。它只是人們用來描述客觀事實的詞語，你又怎能用來結(jié)交朋友呢？另外，說客氣話時自然就好，不用太過緊張。還有，說客氣話時要注意站姿，過度的打躬作揖、搖頭擺身，這種惺惺作態(tài)的動作，既不雅觀也不需要。

把平日對朋友說的客氣話多加入些坦率，你必定可以擁有真摯的友誼。對你生活周圍的人們說話稍為客氣一點，如家中的仆人、你的孩子、商店的收銀員、出租車司機等，你一定也會有意想不到的收獲。

要避免說過分的客氣話。在一個朋友家中，過分客氣是讓主人發(fā)窘的最好利器，而當(dāng)你是主人的時候，那又是最高明的逐客令，這更勝于把客人大罵一頓。如果你怕朋友們到家里打擾你，你就拼命地對他說客氣話，臨走時還不忘請他有空再來，但你知道他是絕對不會再來拜訪的。

喬布斯在斯坦福大學(xué)的演講稿[中英]蘋果計算機公司CEO史蒂夫?喬布斯6.14在斯坦福大學(xué)對即將畢業(yè)的大學(xué)生們進(jìn)行演講時說，從大學(xué)里輟學(xué)是他這一生做出的最為明智的一個選擇，因為它逼迫他學(xué)會了創(chuàng)新。

喬布斯對操場上擠的滿滿的畢業(yè)生、喬布斯演講稿校友和家長們說：“你的時間有限，所以最好別把它浪費在模仿別人這種事上?！?－－同樣地，如果還在學(xué)校的話，似乎不應(yīng)該去模仿退學(xué)的牛人們。You've got to find what you love,' Jobs says

Jobs說，你必須要找到你所愛的東西。

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動畫工作室的CEO Steve Jobs于2005年6月12號在斯坦福大學(xué)的畢業(yè)典禮上面的演講稿。

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.我今天很榮幸能和你們一起參加畢業(yè)典禮，斯坦福大學(xué)是世界上最好的大學(xué)之一。我從來沒有從大學(xué)中畢業(yè)。喬布斯演講稿說實話,今天也許是在我的生命中離大學(xué)畢業(yè)最近的一天了。今天我想向你們講述我生活中的三個故事。不是什么大不了的事情,只是三個故事而已。

The first story is about connecting the dots.第一個故事是關(guān)于如何把生命中的點點滴滴串連起來。

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?

我在Reed大學(xué)讀了六個月之后就退學(xué)了,但是在十八個月以后——我真正的作出退學(xué)決定之前,我還經(jīng)常去學(xué)校。我為什么要退學(xué)呢？

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.故事從我出生的時候講起。我的親生母親是一個年輕的,沒有結(jié)婚的大學(xué)畢業(yè)生。她決定讓別人收養(yǎng)我, 她十分想讓我被大學(xué)畢業(yè)生收養(yǎng)。所以在我出生的時候，她已經(jīng)做好了一切的準(zhǔn)備工作，喬布斯演講稿能使得我被一個律師和他的妻子所收養(yǎng)。但是她沒有料到,當(dāng)我出生之后,律師夫婦突然決定他們想要一個女孩。所以我的生養(yǎng)父母（他們還在我親生父母的觀察名單上）突然在半夜接到了一個電話“我們現(xiàn)在這兒有一個不小心生出來的男嬰:,你們想要他嗎？”他們回答道“當(dāng):然！”但是我親生母親隨后發(fā)現(xiàn)，我的養(yǎng)母從來沒有上過大學(xué),我的父親甚至從沒有讀過高中。她拒絕簽這個收養(yǎng)合同。只是在幾個月以后,我的父母答應(yīng)她一定要讓我上大學(xué),那個時候她才同意。

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.在十七歲那年,我真的上了大學(xué)。但是我很愚蠢的選擇了一個幾乎和你們斯坦福大學(xué)一樣貴的學(xué)校, 我父母還處于藍(lán)領(lǐng)階層，他們幾乎把所有積蓄都花在了我的學(xué)費上面。在六個月后, 我已經(jīng)看不到其中的價值所在。我不知道我想要在生命中做什么,我也不知道大學(xué)能幫助我找到怎樣的答案。但是在這里，我?guī)缀趸ü饬宋腋改高@一輩子的所有積蓄。喬布斯演講稿所以我決定要退學(xué),我覺得這是個正確的決定。不能否認(rèn),我當(dāng)時確實非常的害怕, 但是現(xiàn)在回頭看看,那的確是我這一生中最棒的一個決定。在我做出退學(xué)決定的那一刻, 我終于可以不必去讀那些令我提不起絲毫興趣的課程了。然后我還可以去修那些看起來有點意思的課程。

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:

但是這并不是那么羅曼蒂克。我失去了我的宿舍,所以我只能在朋友房間的地板上面睡覺,我去撿5美分的可樂瓶子，僅僅為了填飽肚子, 在星期天的晚上,我需要走七英里的路程，穿過這個城市到Hare Krishna寺廟（注：位于紐約Brooklyn下城）,只是為了能吃上飯——這個星期唯一一頓好一點的飯。但是我喜歡這樣。我跟著我的直覺和好奇心走,喬布斯演講稿 遇到的很多東西,此后被證明是無價之寶。讓我給你們舉一個例子吧：

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 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.Reed大學(xué)在那時提供也許是全美最好的美術(shù)字課程。在這個大學(xué)里面的每個海報, 每個抽屜的標(biāo)簽上面全都是漂亮的美術(shù)字。因為我退學(xué)了, 沒有受到正規(guī)的訓(xùn)練, 所以我決定去參加這個課程，如果您對口才的技巧與演講方面感興趣，請到 004km.cn

溫馨提示：歡迎轉(zhuǎn)載！好文章千萬別忘記和好朋友一起分享！喬布斯演講稿去學(xué)學(xué)怎樣寫出漂亮的美術(shù)字。我學(xué)到了san serif 和serif字體, 我學(xué)會了怎么樣在不同的字母組合之中改變空格的長度, 還有怎么樣才能作出最棒的印刷式樣。那是一種科學(xué)永遠(yuǎn)不能捕捉到的、美麗的、真實的藝術(shù)精妙, 我發(fā)現(xiàn)那實在是太美妙了。

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, 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.當(dāng)時看起來這些東西在我的生命中，好像都沒有什么實際應(yīng)用的可能。但是十年之后,當(dāng)我們在設(shè)計第一臺Macintosh電腦的時候,就不是那樣了。我把當(dāng)時我學(xué)的那些家伙全都設(shè)計進(jìn)了Mac。那是第一臺使用了漂亮的印刷字體的電腦。如果我當(dāng)時沒有退學(xué), 就不會有機會去參加這個我感興趣的美術(shù)字課程, Mac就不會有這么多豐富的字體，喬布斯演講稿以及賞心悅目的字體間距。那么現(xiàn)在個人電腦就不會有現(xiàn)在這么美妙的字型了。當(dāng)然我在大學(xué)的時候，還不可能把從前的點點滴滴串連起來,但是當(dāng)我十年后回顧這一切的時候,真的豁然開朗了。

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.再次說明的是,你在向前展望的時候不可能將這些片斷串連起來；你只能在回顧的時候?qū)Ⅻc點滴滴串連起來。所以你必須相信這些片斷會在你未來的某一天串連起來。你必須要相信某些東西：你的勇氣、目的、生命、因緣。這個過程從來沒有令我失望（let me down）,只是讓我的生命更加地與眾不同而已。

第二篇：喬布斯演講稿

'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.這是蘋果公司和Pixar動畫工作室的CEO Steve Jobs于2005年6月12號在斯坦福大學(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故事。沒什么大不了的，只是三個故事而已。第一個故事，如何串連生命中的點滴

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)讀了六個月就退學(xué)了，但是在十八個月之后--我真正退學(xué)之前，我還常去學(xué)校。為何我要選擇退學(xué)呢？這還得從我出生之前說起。我的生母是一個年輕、未婚的大學(xué)畢業(yè)生，她決定讓別人收養(yǎng)我。她有一個很強烈的信仰，認(rèn)為我應(yīng)該被一個大學(xué)畢業(yè)生家庭收養(yǎng)。于是，一對律師夫婦說好了要領(lǐng)養(yǎng)我，然而最后一秒鐘，他們改變了主意，決定要個女孩兒。然后我的排在收養(yǎng)人名單中的養(yǎng)父母在一個深夜接到電話，“很意外，我們多了一個男嬰，你們要嗎？”“當(dāng)然要！”但是我的生母后來又發(fā)現(xiàn)我的養(yǎng)母沒有大學(xué)畢業(yè)，養(yǎng)父連高中都沒有畢業(yè)。她拒絕在領(lǐng)養(yǎng)書上簽字。幾個月后，我的養(yǎng)父母保證會讓我上大學(xué)，她妥協(xié)了。

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。六個月后，我覺得不值得。我看不出自己以后要做什么，也不曉得大學(xué)會怎樣幫我指點迷津，而我卻在花銷父母一生的積蓄。所以我決定退學(xué)，并且相信沒有做錯。一開始非常嚇人，但回憶起來，這卻是我一生中作的最好的決定之一。從我退學(xué)的那一刻起，我可以停止一切不感興趣的必修課，開始旁聽那些有意思得多的課。

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，我收集五分一個的舊可樂瓶，每個星期天晚上步行七英里到哈爾-克里什納廟里改善一下一周的伙食。我喜歡這種生活方式。能夠遵循自己的好奇和直覺前行后來被證明是多么的珍貴。讓我來給你們舉個例子吧。

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)時的里得大學(xué)提供可能是全國最好的書法指導(dǎo)。校園中每一張海報，抽屜上的每一張標(biāo)簽，都是漂亮的手寫體。由于我已退學(xué)，不用修那些必修課，我決定選一門書法課上上。在這門課上，我學(xué)會了“serif”和“sans-serif”兩種字體、學(xué)會了怎樣在不同的字母組合中改變字間距、學(xué)會了怎樣寫出好的字來。這是一種科學(xué)無法捕捉的微妙，楚楚動人、充滿歷史底蘊和藝術(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)時我并不指望書法在以后的生活中能有什么實用價值。但是，十年之后，我們在設(shè)計第一臺 Macintosh 計算機時，它一下子浮現(xiàn)在我眼前。于是，我們把這些東西全都設(shè)計進(jìn)了計算機中。這是第一臺有這么漂亮的文字版式的計算機。要不是我當(dāng)初在大學(xué)里偶然選了這么一門課，Macintosh 計算機絕不會有那么多種印刷字體或間距安排合理的字號。要不是 Windows 照搬了 Macintosh，個人電腦可能不會有這些字體和字號。

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)，我決不會碰巧選了這門書法課，個人電腦也可能不會有現(xiàn)在這些漂亮的版式了。

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

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.第二個故事是關(guān)于愛與失的。我很幸運。很早就發(fā)現(xiàn)自己喜歡做的事情。我二十歲的時候就和沃茨在父母的車庫里開創(chuàng)了蘋果公司。我們工作得很努力，十年后，蘋果公司成長為擁有四千名員工，價值二十億的大公司。我們只是推出了最好的創(chuàng)意，Macintosh操作系統(tǒng)，在這之前的一年，也就是我剛過三十歲，我被解雇了。你怎么可能被一個親手創(chuàng)立的公司解雇？事情是這樣的，在公司成長期間，雇傭了一個我們認(rèn)為非常聰明，可以和我一起經(jīng)營公司的人。一年后，我們對公司未來的看法產(chǎn)生分歧，董事會站在了他的一邊。于是，在我三十歲的時候，我出局了，很公開地出局了。我整個成年生活的焦點沒了，這很要命。一開始的幾個月我真的不知道該干什么。我覺得我讓公司的前一代創(chuàng)建者們失望了，我把傳給我的權(quán)杖給弄丟了。我與戴維德-帕珂德和鮑勃-諾埃斯見面，試圖為這徹頭徹尾的失敗道歉。我敗得如此之慘以至于我想要逃離這兒。有個東西在慢慢地叫醒我。我還愛著我從事的行業(yè)。這次失敗一點兒都沒有改變這一點。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)時我沒有看出來，但事實證明“被蘋果開除”是發(fā)生在我身上最好的事。成功的重?fù)?dān)被重新起步的輕松替代，對任何事情都不再特別看重。這讓我感覺如此自由，進(jìn)入一生中最有創(chuàng)造力的階段。接下來的五年，我創(chuàng)立了一個叫NeXT的公司，接著又建立了Pixar，然后與后來成為我妻子的女人相愛。Pixar出品了世界第一個電腦動畫電影：“玩具總動員”，現(xiàn)在它已經(jīng)是世界最成功的動畫制作工作室了。

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

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，這些就都不會發(fā)生。這個藥的味道太糟了，但是我想病人需要它。有些時候，生活會給你迎頭一棒。不要喪失信心。我確信唯一讓我一路走下來的是我對自己所做事情的熱愛。你必須去找你熱愛的東西，對工作如此，對你的愛人也是這樣的。工作會占據(jù)你生命中很大的一部分，你只有相信自己做的是偉大的工作，你才能怡然自得。如果你還沒有找到，那么就繼續(xù)找，不要停。全心全意地找，當(dāng)你找到時，你會知道的。就像任何真誠的關(guān)系，隨著時間的流逝，只會越來越緊密。所以繼續(xù)找，不要停。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.我的第三個故事關(guān)于死亡。我十七歲的時候讀到過一句話“如果你把每一天都當(dāng)作最后一天過，有一天你會發(fā)現(xiàn)你是正確的”。這句話給我留下了深刻的印象。從那以后，過去的三十三年，每天早上我都會對著鏡子問自己：“如果今天是我的最后一天，我會不會做我想做的事情呢？”當(dāng)答案持續(xù)否定一些次數(shù)后，我知道我需要改變一些東西了。提醒自己就要死了是我遇見的最大的幫助，幫我作了生命中的大決定。因為幾乎任何事——所有的榮耀、驕傲、對難堪和失敗的恐懼——在死亡面前都會消隱，留下真正重要的東西。提醒自己就要死亡是我知道的最好的方法，用來避開擔(dān)心失去某些東西的陷阱。你已經(jīng)赤裸裸了，沒有理由不聽從于自己的心愿。

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。我早上七點半作了掃描，清楚地顯示在我的胰腺有一個腫瘤。我當(dāng)時都不知道胰腺是什么東西。醫(yī)生們告訴我這幾乎是無法治愈的，還有三到六個月的時間。我的醫(yī)生建議我回家，整理一切。在醫(yī)生的辭典中，這就是“準(zhǔn)備死亡”的意思。就是意味著把要對你小孩說十年的話在幾個月內(nèi)說完；意味著把所有東西搞定，盡量讓你的家庭活得輕松一點；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活切片檢查，他們將一個內(nèi)窺鏡伸進(jìn)我的喉嚨，穿過胃，到達(dá)腸道，用一根針在我的胰腺腫瘤上取了幾個細(xì)胞。我當(dāng)時是被麻醉的，但是我的妻子告訴我，那些醫(yī)生在顯微鏡下看到細(xì)胞的時候開始尖叫，因為發(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候，我也希望是我未來幾十年里最接近死亡的一次。這次死里逃生讓我比以往只知道死亡是一個有用而純粹書面概念的時候更確信地告訴你們，沒有人愿意死，即使那些想上天堂的人們也不愿意通過死亡來達(dá)到他們的目的。但是死亡是每個人共同的終點，沒有人能夠逃脫。也應(yīng)該如此，因為死亡很可能是生命最好的發(fā)明。它去陳讓新?，F(xiàn)在，你們就是“新”。但是有一天，不用太久，你們有會慢慢變老然后死去。抱歉，這很戲劇性，但卻是真的。你們的時間是有限的，不要浪費在重復(fù)別人的生活上。不要被教條束縛，那意味著會和別人思考的結(jié)果一塊兒生活。不要被其他人的喧囂觀點掩蓋自己內(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.我年輕的時候，有一份叫做“完整地球目錄”的好雜志，是我們這一代人的圣經(jīng)之一。它是一個叫斯糾華特-布蘭得，住在離這不遠(yuǎn)的曼羅公園的家伙創(chuàng)立的。他用詩一般的觸覺將這份雜志帶到世界。那是六十年代后期，個人電腦出現(xiàn)之前，所以這份雜志全是用打字機、剪刀和偏光鏡制作的。有點像軟皮包裝的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，“保持饑餓，保持愚蠢”。我常以此勉勵自己?，F(xiàn)在，在你們即將踏上新旅程的時候，我也希望你們能這樣。保持饑餓，保持愚蠢。

Thank you all, very much.

第三篇：喬布斯演講稿

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 touch.This was in the late 1960's, before personal computers and desktop publishing, so it was all made with typewriters, scissors, and polaroid cameras.It was sort of like Google in paperback form, 35 years before Google came along: it was idealistic, and overflowing with neat tools and great notions.Stewart and his team put out several issues of The Whole Earth Catalog, and then when it had run its course, they put out a final issue.It was the mid-1970s, and I was your age.On the back cover of their final issue was a photograph of an early morning country road, the kind you might find yourself hitchhiking on if you were so adventurous.Beneath it were the words: “Stay Hungry.Stay Foolish.” It was their farewell message as they signed off.Stay Hungry.Stay Foolish.And I have always wished that for myself.And now, as you graduate to begin anew, I wish that for you.Stay Hungry.Stay Foolish.Thank you all very much.

第四篇：喬布斯演講稿

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 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：喬布斯演講稿

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.
