【正文】 史蒂夫喬布斯在斯坦福大學的演講稿我堅信讓我一往無前的唯一力量就是我熱愛我所做的一切史蒂夫amp。S226。喬布斯（Steve Jobs）39。You39。ve got to find what you love,39。 Jobs saysThis 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 mencement from one of the finest universities in the world. I never graduated from college. Truth be told, this is the closest I39。ve ever gotten to a college graduation. Today I want to tell you three stories from my life. That39。s it. No big deal. Just three stories.很榮幸和大家一道參加這所世界上最好的一座大學的畢業(yè)典禮。我大學沒畢業(yè)，說實話，這是我第一次離大學畢業(yè)典禮這么近。今天我想給大家講三個我自己的故事，不講別的，也不講大道理，就講三個故事。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 dropin for another 18 months or so before I really quit. So why did I drop out?第一個故事講的是點與點之間的關(guān)系。我在里德學院（Reed College）只讀了六個月就退學了，此后便在學校里旁聽，又過了大約一年半，我徹底離開。那么，我為什么退學呢？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.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)我的是有大學學歷的人，所以把一切都安排好了，我一出生就交給一對律師夫婦收養(yǎng)。沒想到我落地的霎那間，那對夫婦卻決定收養(yǎng)一名女孩。就這樣，我的養(yǎng)父母─當時他們還在登記冊上排隊等著呢─半夜三更接到一個電話: “我們這兒有一個沒人要的男嬰，你們要么？”“當然要”他們回答。但是，我的生母后來發(fā)現(xiàn)我的養(yǎng)母不是大學畢業(yè)生，我的養(yǎng)父甚至連中學都沒有畢業(yè)，所以她拒絕在最后的收養(yǎng)文件上簽字。不過，沒過幾個月她就心軟了，因為我的養(yǎng)父母許諾日后一定送我上大學。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 workingclass parents39。 savings were being spent on my college tuition. After six months, I couldn39。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 didn39。t interest me, and begin dropping in on the ones that looked interesting.17 年后，我真的進了大學。當時我很天真，選了一所學費幾乎和斯坦福大學一樣昂貴的學校，當工人的養(yǎng)父母傾其所有的積蓄為我支付了大學學費。讀了六個月后，我卻看不出上學有什么意義。我既不知道自己這一生想干什么，也不知道大學是否能夠幫我弄明白自己想干什么。這時，我就要花光父母一輩子節(jié)省下來的錢了。所以，我決定退學，并且堅信日后會證明我這樣做是對的。當年做出這個決定時心里直打鼓，但現(xiàn)在回想起來，這還真是我有生以來做出的最好的決定之一。從退學那一刻起，我就可以不再選那些我毫無興趣的必修課，開始旁聽一些看上去有意思的課。It wasn39。t all romantic. I didn39。t have a dorm room, so I slept on the floor in friends39。 rooms, I returned coke bottles for the 5162。 deposits to buy food with, and I
