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 wife, except 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。t interest me and begin dropping in on the ones that looked far more wasn39。t have to take the normal classes, I decided to take a calligraphy class to learn how to do learned about serif and sansserif 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。 garage when I was worked hard and in ten years, Apple had grown from just the two of us in a garage into a $2 billion pany with over 4,000 39。d been rejected but I was still in so I decided to start didn39。d just turned thirty, and then I got can you get fired from a pany you started? Well, as Apple grew, we hired someone who I thought was very talented to run the pany with me, and for the first year or so, things went then our visions of the future began to diverge, and eventually we had a falling we did, our board of directors sided with him, and so at thirty, I was out, and very publicly had been the focus of my entire adult life was gone, and it was really didn39。s likely that no personal puter would have I had never dropped out, I would have never dropped in on that calligraphy class and personals puters might not have the wonderful typography that they 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 , you can39。t have a dorm room, so I slept on the floor in friends39。 savings were being spent on my college six months, I couldn39。m honored to be with you today for your mencement from one of the finest universities in the be told, I never graduated from college and this is the closest I39?，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。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。有點(diǎn)像軟皮包裝的Google，不 過卻早了三十五年。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。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?，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。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。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，價值二十億的大公司。第二個故事是關(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 計算機(jī)絕不會有那么多種印刷字體或間距安排合理的字號。當(dāng) 時我并不指望書法在以后的生活中能有什么實(shí)用價值。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。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，只是三個故事而已。謝謝大家。t be trapped by dogma, which is living with the results of other people39。it clears out the old to make way for the now, the new is someday, not too long from now, you will gradually bee the old and be cleared to be so dramatic, but it39。s the closest I get for a few more lived through it, I can now say this to you with a bit more certainty than when death was a useful but purely intellectual one wants to die, even people who want to go to Heaven don39。t even know what a pancreas 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 doctor advised me to go home and get my affairs in order, which is doctors39。t third story is about I was 17 I read a quote that went something like “If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you39。ve got to find what you love, and that is as true for work as it is for 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
