your mencement from one of the finest universities in the be told, I never graduated from college, and this is the closest I39。ve ever gotten to a college , I want to tell you three stories from my 39。s big three 。今天,有榮幸來(lái)到各位從世界上最好的學(xué)校之一畢業(yè)的畢業(yè)典禮上。我從來(lái)沒(méi)從大學(xué)畢業(yè)。說(shuō)實(shí)話,這是我離大學(xué)畢業(yè)最近的一刻。今天,我只說(shuō)三個(gè)故事,不談大道理,三個(gè)故事就好。The first story is about connecting the dropped out of Reed College after the first six months, but then stayed around as a dropin for another 18 months or so before I really why did I drop out?It started before I was biological mother was a young, unwed graduate student, and she decided to put me up for 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 wifeexcept that when I popped out they decided at the last minute that they really wanted a my parents, who were on a waiting list, got a call in the middle of the night asking, “We39。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 refused to sign the final adoption only relented a few months later when my parents promised that I would go to was the start in my ,是關(guān)于人生中的點(diǎn)點(diǎn)滴滴怎么串連在一起。我在里德學(xué)院(Reedcollege)待了六個(gè)月就辦休學(xué)了。到我退學(xué)前,一共休學(xué)了十八個(gè)月。那么,我為什么休學(xué)?這得從我出生前講起。我的親生母親當(dāng)時(shí)是個(gè)研究生,年輕未婚媽媽,她決定讓別人收養(yǎng)我。她強(qiáng)烈覺(jué)得應(yīng)該讓有大學(xué)畢業(yè)的人收養(yǎng)我,所以我出生時(shí),她就準(zhǔn)備讓我被一對(duì)律師夫婦收養(yǎng)。但是這對(duì)夫妻到了最后一刻反悔了,他們想收養(yǎng)女孩。所以在等待收養(yǎng)名單上的一對(duì)夫妻,我的養(yǎng)父母,在一天半夜里接到一通電話,問(wèn)他們有一名意外出生的男孩,你們要認(rèn)養(yǎng)他嗎?而他們的回答是當(dāng)然要。后來(lái),我的生母發(fā)現(xiàn),我現(xiàn)在的媽媽從來(lái)沒(méi)有大學(xué)畢業(yè),我現(xiàn)在的爸爸則連高中畢業(yè)也沒(méi)有。她拒絕在認(rèn)養(yǎng)文件上做最后簽字。直到幾個(gè)月后,我的養(yǎng)父母同意將來(lái)一定會(huì)讓我上大學(xué),她才軟化態(tài)度。And 17 years later I did go to 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 six months, I couldn39。t see the value in had no idea what I wanted to do with my life and no idea how college was going to help me figure it here I was spending all of the money my parents had saved their entire ,我上大學(xué)了。但是當(dāng)時(shí)我無(wú)知選了一所學(xué)費(fèi)幾乎跟史丹佛一樣貴的大學(xué),我那工人階級(jí)的父母所有積蓄都花在我的學(xué)費(fèi)上。六個(gè)月后,我看不出念這個(gè)書(shū)的價(jià)值何在。那時(shí)候,我不知道這輩子要干什么,也不知道念大學(xué)能對(duì)我有什么幫助,而且我為了念這個(gè)書(shū),花光了我父母這輩子的所有積蓄。So I decided to drop out and trust that it would all work out was pretty scary at the time, but looking back it was one of the best decisions I ever 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 far more ,相信船到橋頭自然直。當(dāng)時(shí)這個(gè)決定看來(lái)相當(dāng)可怕,可是現(xiàn)在看來(lái),那是我這輩子做過(guò)最好的決定之一。當(dāng)我休學(xué)之后,我再也不用上我沒(méi)興趣的必修課,把時(shí)間拿去聽(tīng)那些我有興趣的課。It wasn39。t all didn39。t have a dorm room, so I slept on the floor in friends39。 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 loved much of what I stumbled into by following my curiosity and intuition turned out to be priceless later me give you one example:Reed College at that time offered perhaps the best calligraphy instruction in the the campus every poster, every label on every drawer, was beautifully hand I had dropped out and didn39。t have to take the normal classes, I decided to take a calligraphy class to learn how to do learned about serif and san serif typefaces, about varying the amount of space between different letter binations, about what makes great typography was beautiful, historical, artistically subtle in a way that science can39。t capture, and I found it 。我沒(méi)有宿舍,所以我睡在友人家里的地板上,靠著回收可樂(lè)空罐的五先令退費(fèi)買(mǎi)吃的,每個(gè)星期天晚上得走七哩的路繞過(guò)大半個(gè)鎮(zhèn)去印度教的HareKrishna神廟吃頓好料。我喜歡HareKrishna神廟的好料。追尋我的好奇與直覺(jué),我所駐足的大部分事物,后來(lái)看來(lái)都成了無(wú)價(jià)之寶。舉例來(lái)說(shuō):當(dāng)時(shí)里德學(xué)院有著大概是全國(guó)最好的書(shū)法指導(dǎo)。在整個(gè)校園內(nèi)的每一張海報(bào)上,每個(gè)抽屜的標(biāo)簽上,都是美麗的手寫(xiě)字。因?yàn)槲倚輰W(xué)了,可以不照正常選課程序來(lái),所以我跑去學(xué)書(shū)法。我學(xué)了serif與sanserif字體,學(xué)到在不同字母組合間變更字間距,學(xué)到活版印刷偉大的地方。書(shū)法的美好、歷史感與藝術(shù)感是科學(xué)所無(wú)法捕捉的,我覺(jué)得那很迷人。None of this had even a hope of any practical application in my ten years later, when we were designing the first Macintosh puter, it all came back to we designed it all into the was the first puter with beautiful I had never dropped in on that single course in college, the “Mac” would have never had multiple typefaces or proportionally spaced since Windows just copied the Mac, it39。s likely that no personal puter would have I had never dropped out, I would have never dropped in on that calligraphy class, and personal puters might not have the wonderful typography that they course it was impossible to connect the dots looking forward when I was in it was very, very clear looking backwards 10 years , you can39。t connect the dots looking forward。you can only connect them looking you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your have to trust in somethingyour gut, destiny, life, karma, whateverbecause 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 wellworn path, and that will make all the ,不過(guò)十年后,當(dāng)我在設(shè)計(jì)第一臺(tái)麥金塔時(shí),我想起了當(dāng)時(shí)所學(xué)的東西,所以把這些東西都設(shè)計(jì)進(jìn)了麥金塔里,這是第一臺(tái)能印刷出漂亮東西的計(jì)算機(jī)。如果我沒(méi)沉溺于那樣一門(mén)課里,麥金塔可能就不會(huì)有多重字體跟變間距字體了。又因?yàn)閃indows抄襲了麥金塔的使用方式,如果當(dāng)年我沒(méi)這樣做,大概世界上所有的個(gè)人計(jì)算機(jī)都不會(huì)有這些東西,印不出現(xiàn)在我們看到的漂亮的字來(lái)了。當(dāng)然,當(dāng)我還在大學(xué)里時(shí),不可能把這些點(diǎn)點(diǎn)滴滴預(yù)先串在一起,但是這在十年后回顧,就顯得非常清楚。我再說(shuō)一次,你不能預(yù)先把點(diǎn)點(diǎn)滴滴串在一起;唯有未來(lái)回顧時(shí),你才會(huì)明白那些點(diǎn)點(diǎn)滴滴是如何串在一起的。所以你得相信,你現(xiàn)在所體會(huì)的東西,將來(lái)多少會(huì)連接在一塊。你得信任某個(gè)東西,直覺(jué)也好,命運(yùn)也好,生命也好,或者業(yè)力。這種作法從來(lái)沒(méi)讓我失望,也讓我的人生整個(gè)不同起來(lái)。My second story is about love and ,有關(guān)愛(ài)與失去。I was luckyI found what I loved to do early in and I started Apple in my parents39。 garage when I was worked hard, and in 10 years Apple had grown from just the two of us in a garage into a two billion dollar pany with over 4000 39。d just released our finest creationthe Macintosha year earlier, and I had just turned then I got can you get fired from a pany you started?我好運(yùn)-年輕時(shí)就發(fā)現(xiàn)自己愛(ài)
