NeXT 后，我又回到了蘋果公司，我們在 NeXT 公司開發(fā)的技術(shù)成了蘋果公司這次重新崛起的核心。盡管前景未卜，但從頭開始的輕松感取代了保持成功的沉重感。在蘋果公司發(fā)生的這些**絲毫沒有改變這一點。我感到自己給老一代的創(chuàng)業(yè)者丟了臉——因為我扔掉了交到自己手里的接力棒?？墒牵S后我倆對公司前景的看法開始出現(xiàn)分歧，最后我倆反目了。那時，我們剛剛推出了我們最好的產(chǎn)品——Macintosh 電腦——那是在第 9 年，我剛滿 30 歲。我的第二個故事是關(guān)于好惡與得失。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。要不是 Windows 照搬了 Macintosh，個人電腦可能不會有這些字體和字號。但是，十年之后，我們在設(shè)計第一臺計算機時，它一下子浮現(xiàn)在我眼前。當(dāng)時我已經(jīng)退學(xué)，不用正常上課，所以我決定選一門書法課，學(xué)學(xué)怎么寫好字。我喜歡這樣。那些日子一點兒都不浪漫。這時，我就要花光父母一輩子節(jié)省下來的錢了。年后，我真的進(jìn)了大學(xué)。沒想到我落地的霎那間，那對夫婦卻決定收養(yǎng)一名女孩。我在里德學(xué)院（Reed College）只讀了六個月就退學(xué)了，此后便在學(xué)校里旁聽，又過了大約一年半，我徹底離開。很榮幸和大家一道參加這所世界上最好的一座大學(xué)的畢業(yè)典禮。求知若饑，虛心若愚。在?？柕姆獾?，有張早晨鄉(xiāng)間小路的照片，那種你去爬山時會經(jīng)過的鄉(xiāng)

has ever escaped that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of 39。所以我接受了手術(shù)，康復(fù)了。那代表你得跟人說再見了。醫(yī)生告訴我，那幾乎可以確定 是一種不治之癥，我大概活不到三到六個月了。s code for “prepare to die.” It means to try and tell your kids everything you thought you39。因為幾乎所有的東西——所有對自身之外的希求、所有的尊嚴(yán)、所 有對困窘和失敗的恐懼——在死亡來臨時都將不復(fù)存在，只剩下真正重要 的東西。這時，董事會站在了他那一邊，所以在 30 歲那年，我離開了公司，而且這件事鬧得滿城風(fēng)雨?？珊髞?，我被 解雇了。幸運的是，我在很小的時候就發(fā) 現(xiàn)自己喜歡做什么。所以，要相信這些點遲早會連接到一起。十年之后再回頭看，兩者之間的關(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 計算機絕不會有那么多種印刷字體或間距安排合理的字號。None of

college I want to tell you three stories from my 39。The first story is about connecting the 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 why did I drop out?第一個故事講的是點與點之間的關(guān)系。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)。但是，我的生母后來發(fā) 現(xiàn)我的養(yǎng)母不是大學(xué)畢業(yè)生，我的養(yǎng)父甚至連中學(xué)都沒有畢業(yè)，所以她拒

early in and I started Apple in my parents garage when I was worked hard, and in 10 years Apple had grown from just the two of us in a garage into a $2 billion pany with over 4000 had just released our finest creation — the Macintosh — a year earlier, and I had just turned 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 at 30 I was very publicly had been the focus of my entire adult life was gone, and it was 。那時，我們剛剛推出了我們最好的產(chǎn)品 ——Macintosh 電腦——那是在第 9 年，我剛滿 30 歲?？墒?，隨后我倆對公司前景的看法開始出現(xiàn)分歧，最后我倆反目了。t know what to do for a few felt that I had let the previous generation of entrepreneurs downthese things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you
