嗯,在蘋果快速成長的時候，我們雇用了一個很有天分的家伙和我一起管理這個公司, 在最初的幾年,公司運(yùn)轉(zhuǎn)的很好。在這么多人目光下我被炒了。我和創(chuàng)辦惠普的David Pack、創(chuàng)辦Intel的Bob Noyce見面，并試圖向他們道歉。我被驅(qū)逐了，但是我仍然鐘愛我所做的事情。這讓我覺得如此自由, 進(jìn)入了我生命中最有創(chuàng)造力的一個階段。我們在NeXT發(fā)展的技術(shù)在Apple的今天的復(fù)興之中發(fā)揮了關(guān)鍵的作用。有些時候, 生活會拿起一塊磚頭向你的腦袋上猛拍一下。對于工作是如此，對于你的愛人也是如此。就像任何真誠的關(guān)系，隨著歲月的流逝只會越來越緊密。從那時開始,過了33 年，我在每天早晨都會對著鏡子問自己:“如果今天是我生命中的最后一天, 你會不會完成你今天想做的事情呢？”當(dāng)答案連續(xù)多天是“No”的時候, 我知道自己需要改變某些事情了。我看到的是留下的真正重要的東西。我在早晨七點(diǎn)半做了一個檢查, 檢查清楚的顯示在我的胰腺有一個腫瘤。那意味著你將要把未來十年對你小孩說的話在幾個月里面說完.；那意味著把每件事情都安排好, 讓你的家人會盡可能輕松的生活；那意味著你要說“再見了”。那是我最接近死亡的時候, 我希望這也是以后的幾十年最接近的一次。也應(yīng)該如此。我很抱歉這很戲劇性, 但是這十分的真實(shí)。還有最重要的是, 你要有勇氣去聽從你直覺和心靈的指示——它們在某種程度上知道你想要成為什么樣子，所有其他的事情都是次要的。有點(diǎn)像用軟皮包裝的Google, 在Google出現(xiàn)三十五年之前：這是理想主義的，其中有許多靈巧的工具和偉大的想法?！边@是他們停止了發(fā)刊的告別語。ve ever gotten to a college I want to tell you three stories from my 39。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 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。 rooms, I returned coke bottles for the 5162。t connect the dots looking forward。s code for prepare to means to try to tell your kids everything you thought you39。t want to die to get yet death is the destination we all one has ever escaped that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of is Life39。t be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people39。s, before personal puters and desktop publishing, so it was all made with typewriters, scissors, and polaroid was sort of like Google in paperback form, 35 years before Google came along: it was idealistic, and overflowing with neat tools and great and his team put out several issues of The Whole Earth Catalog, and then when it had run its course, they put out a final was the mid1970s, and I was your the back cover of their final issue was a photograph of an early morning country road, the kind you might find yourself hitchhiking on if you were so it were the words: “Stay Foolish.” It was their farewell message as they signed I have always wished that for now, as you graduate to begin anew, I wish that for you all very much第四篇：喬布斯在斯坦福大學(xué)畢業(yè)典禮上的演講喬布斯在斯坦福大學(xué)畢業(yè)典禮上的演講今天我能和你們一起參加畢業(yè)典禮讓我感到很榮幸，斯坦福大學(xué)是世界上一流的大學(xué)之一。這三個故事并不是什么大不了的事情，只是我生活中的三個故事而已。我的親生母親是一個未婚的年輕的研究生。所以排在候選名單上的我的養(yǎng)父母，在半夜突然接到一個電話：“我們這里剛剛生了個意料之外的男嬰，你們想要他嗎？”他們回答說道：“當(dāng)然想要！”但是我的親生母親很快就發(fā)現(xiàn)，我的養(yǎng)母沒有上過大學(xué)，我的養(yǎng)父甚至連高中都沒讀完。但是我當(dāng)時很幼稚地選擇了一所費(fèi)用貴得能和你們斯坦福大學(xué)相媲美的學(xué)校。但是在這里，我?guī)缀趸ü饬宋腋改敢簧娜糠e蓄。然后我就可以去學(xué)那些我感興趣的課程了。追隨我的好奇心和與直覺，我所投入過的大部分的事情，后來看來都是無比珍貴的。我學(xué)會了襯線字體和無襯線字體，我還學(xué)會如何改變不同字母之間的空間距離，還學(xué)會了如何去做出最好的印刷式樣。那是第一臺有非常漂亮的印刷字體的電腦。我再說一次，你在展望未來的時候可能還不能將那些點(diǎn)滴的片段串聯(lián)起來；只有在你回顧的時候才能將它們串聯(lián)起來。我真的是非常的幸運(yùn)，在很早的時候就找到了我感興趣的那些東西。那年我剛好30歲。當(dāng)我們吵得很兇的時候，董事會站了出來，并且站到了他的那邊。我生命的全部支柱都離我而去。帕克、創(chuàng)辦英特爾的鮑勃我被蘋果拋棄了，但我仍然鐘愛我所從事的事情。這讓我感覺很自由，我進(jìn)入了生命中最有創(chuàng)造力的一個階段。我們在NeXT公司創(chuàng)新出來的技術(shù)對蘋果的今天發(fā)展起到至關(guān)重要的作用。有些時候，上帝會跟你開一個很大的玩笑。對于工作是如此，對于你的愛人也是如此。只要全心全意地去找，在你找到的時候，你的心就會告訴你的?！边@句話給我留下了深刻的印象。因為幾乎所有的事情，包括所有來自外部的期望、所有的榮譽(yù)、所有的驕傲、所有對困難和失敗的恐懼，所有的這些在死亡面前都會消失，而留下來的那些才是真正重要的東西。我那天早晨七點(diǎn)半做了一個體檢，體檢報告清楚地顯示在我的胰腺上有一個腫瘤。那意味著你將要把未來十年對
