【正文】 路的照片，如果你有冒險(xiǎn)精神，可以自己找到這條路。有點(diǎn)像軟皮包裝的Google，不 過卻早了三十五年。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。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?，F(xiàn)在，你們就是“新”。這次死里逃生讓我比以往只知道死亡是一個(gè)有用而純粹書面概念的時(shí)候更確信地告訴你們，沒有人愿意死，即使那些想上天堂的人們也不愿意通過死亡來達(dá)到他們的目的。后來有天晚上我做了一個(gè)活切片檢查，他們將一個(gè)內(nèi)窺鏡伸進(jìn)我的喉嚨，穿過胃，到達(dá)腸道，用一根針在我的胰腺腫瘤上取了幾個(gè)細(xì) 胞。我的醫(yī)生建議我回家，整理一切。大 約一年前，我被診斷出患了癌癥。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。我的第三個(gè)故事關(guān)于死亡。如果你還沒有找到，那么就繼續(xù)找，不要停。不要喪失信心。我們?cè)贜eXT開發(fā)的技術(shù)在蘋果的復(fù)興中起了核心作用，另外勞琳和我組建了一個(gè)幸福的家庭。這讓我感覺如此自由，進(jìn) 入一生中最有創(chuàng)造力的階段。我被逐了，但我仍愛著。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。于是，在我三十歲的時(shí)候，我出局了，很公開地出局了。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(jià)值二十億的大公司。第二個(gè)故事是關(guān)于愛與失的。十年之后再回頭看，兩者之間關(guān)系就非常、非常清楚了。要不是我當(dāng)初在大學(xué)里偶然選了這 么一門課，Macintosh 計(jì)算機(jī)絕不會(huì)有那么多種印刷字體或間距安排合理的字號(hào)。當(dāng) 時(shí)我并不指望書法在以后的生活中能有什么實(shí)用價(jià)值。校園中每一張海報(bào)，抽屜上的每一張標(biāo)簽，都是漂亮的手寫體。我喜歡這種生活方式。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。六個(gè)月后，我覺得不 值得。她拒絕在領(lǐng)養(yǎng)書上簽字。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。不是長篇大論，只是三個(gè)故事而已。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。第一個(gè)故事，如何串連生命中的點(diǎn)滴。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)。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。我看不出自己以后要做什么，也不曉得大學(xué)會(huì)怎樣幫我指點(diǎn)迷津，而我卻在花銷父母一生的積蓄。事情并不那么美好。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。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。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。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)。你們同樣不可能從現(xiàn)在這個(gè)點(diǎn)上看到將來；只有回 頭看時(shí)，才會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)它們之間的關(guān)系。我 很幸運(yùn)。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。我整個(gè)成年生活的焦點(diǎn)沒了，這很要命。我敗得如此之慘以至于我 想要逃離這兒。我決定重新開始。接下來的五年，我創(chuàng)立了一個(gè)叫NeXT的公司，接著又建立了Pixar，然后與后來成為我妻子的女人相愛。我 非常確信，如果我沒有被蘋果炒掉，這些就都不會(huì)發(fā)生。我確信唯一 讓我一路走下來的是我對(duì)自己所做事情的熱愛。全心全意地找，當(dāng)你找到時(shí)，你會(huì)知道的。我 十七歲的時(shí)候讀到過一句話“如果你把每一天都當(dāng)作最后一天過，有一天你會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)你是正確的”。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。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。在醫(yī)生的辭典中，這就是“準(zhǔn)備死亡”的意思。我當(dāng)時(shí)是被麻醉的，但是我的妻子告訴我，那些醫(yī)生在顯微鏡下看到細(xì)胞的時(shí)候開始尖叫，因?yàn)榘l(fā)現(xiàn)這竟然是一種非常罕見的可用手術(shù)治愈的胰腺癌癥。但是死亡是每個(gè)人共同的終點(diǎn)，沒有人能夠逃脫。但是有一天，不用太久，你們有會(huì)慢慢變老然后死去。不要被其他人的喧囂觀點(diǎn)掩蓋自己內(nèi)心真正的聲音。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。它理想主義，全文充斥著靈巧的工具和偉大的想法。下面有一句話，“求知若渴，虛心若谷”。求知若渴，虛心若谷。ve

stayed around as a dropin for another 18 months or so before I really why did I drop out?我在Reed大學(xué)讀了六個(gè)月之后就退學(xué)了,但是在十八個(gè)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。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)。她拒絕簽這個(gè)收養(yǎng)合同。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
