【正文】 le39。這三個(gè)故事并不是什么大不了的事情，只是我生活中的三個(gè)故事而已。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(gè)電話：“我們這里剛剛生了個(gè)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。但是在這里，我?guī)缀趸ü饬宋腋改敢簧娜糠e蓄。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。那是第一臺(tái)有非常漂亮的印刷字體的電腦。我真的是非常的幸運(yùn)，在很早的時(shí)候就找到了我感興趣的那些東西。當(dāng)我們吵得很兇的時(shí)候，董事會(huì)站了出來，并且站到了他的那邊。帕克、創(chuàng)辦英特爾的鮑勃這讓我感覺很自由，我進(jìn)入了生命中最有創(chuàng)造力的一個(gè)階段。有些時(shí)候，上帝會(huì)跟你開一個(gè)很大的玩笑。只要全心全意地去找，在你找到的時(shí)候，你的心就會(huì)告訴你的。因?yàn)閹缀跛械氖虑?，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(duì)困難和失敗的恐懼，所有的這些在死亡面前都會(huì)消失，而留下來的那些才是真正重要的東西。那意味著你將要把未來十年對(duì)你小孩說的話在幾個(gè)月里面說完；那意味著把每件事情都安排好，讓你的家人會(huì)盡可能輕松地生活；那意味著你要說“再見了”。其實(shí)也應(yīng)該是如此，因?yàn)樗劳龊芸赡芫褪巧凶畎舻囊环N“發(fā)明”。還有最重要的一點(diǎn)就是，要有勇氣去聽從來自內(nèi)心和直覺的指示—你自己其實(shí)已經(jīng)知道你真正想要成為什么樣的人，而其他所有的一切都是次要的。當(dāng)它完成了自己使命的時(shí)候，他們出了最后一期。你得找出你的所愛。那么，我為什么休學(xué)？這得從我出生前講起。十七年后，我上大學(xué)了。我喜歡Hare Krishna神廟的好料。如果我沒沉溺于那樣一門課里，麥金塔可能就不會(huì)有多重字體跟變間距字體了。我好運(yùn)－年輕時(shí)就發(fā)現(xiàn)自己愛做什么事。我見了創(chuàng)辦HP的David Packard跟創(chuàng)辦Intel的Bob Noyce，跟他們說我很抱歉把事情搞砸得很厲害了。然后，蘋果計(jì)算機(jī)買下了NeXT，我回到了蘋果，我們?cè)贜eXT發(fā)展的技術(shù)成了蘋果計(jì)算機(jī)后來復(fù)興的核心。你的工作將填滿你的一大塊人生，唯一獲得真正滿足的方法就是做你相信是偉大的工作，而唯一做偉大工作的方法是愛你所做的事。提醒自己快死了，是我在人生中下重大決定時(shí)，所用過最重要的工具。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(gè)月了。當(dāng)我十七歲時(shí)，我讀到一則格言，好像是「把每一天都當(dāng)成生命中的最后一天，你就會(huì)輕松自在。我確信，我愛我所做的事情，這就是這些年來讓我繼續(xù)走下去的唯一理由。接下來五年，我開了一家叫做NeXT的公司，又開一家叫做Pixar的公司，也跟后來的老婆談起了戀愛。有幾個(gè)月，我實(shí)在不知道要干什么好。這種作法從來沒讓我失望，也讓我的人生整個(gè)不同起來。書法的美好、歷史感與藝術(shù)感是科學(xué)所無法捕捉的，我覺得那很迷人。這一點(diǎn)也不浪漫。她拒絕在認(rèn)養(yǎng)文件上做最后簽字。我在里德學(xué)院（Reed college）待了六個(gè)月就辦休學(xué)了。求知若饑，虛心若愚。那樣子是有點(diǎn)像今天的谷歌的“平裝版”，那是在谷歌出現(xiàn)35年以前：這本雜志是理想主義的，其實(shí)這其中有許多巧妙的工具和偉大的想法。不要被教條束縛，那意味著你將按別人的想法生活。但是死亡是我們每個(gè)人共同的終點(diǎn)。醫(yī)生告訴我說這很可能是一種無法治愈的癌癥，我只能活三到六個(gè)月的時(shí)間?！坝涀∧憬K將死去”是我一生中遇到的最重要箴言。你只有相信自己所做的是偉大的工作，你才能怡然自得。我可以非常肯定，如果當(dāng)初我不被蘋果開除的話，那么后來的這些事情一件也不會(huì)發(fā)生的。我當(dāng)時(shí)并沒有覺察,?但是事后證明，被蘋果公司炒魷魚是我這輩子發(fā)生的最棒的事情。我覺得我很令上一代的那些創(chuàng)業(yè)家們失望，我把他們交給我的接力棒弄丟了。你怎么可能被你自己一手創(chuàng)立起來的公司給炒魷魚了呢？嗯,在蘋果公司快速發(fā)展的時(shí)期，我們雇用了一個(gè)我認(rèn)為非常有天分的人和我一起管理這家公司。在你的生命中你必須相信某些東西：你的直覺、命運(yùn)、生命、緣分……在這個(gè)過程中從來都沒有令我失望過，而且讓我的生命更加與眾不同。在當(dāng)時(shí)看來，這些東西在我生命中好像沒有什么實(shí)際的用處，但只在十年之后，當(dāng)我們?cè)谠O(shè)計(jì)第一臺(tái)麥金塔電腦的時(shí)候,我發(fā)覺了這些東西的用處。我不能再住在宿舍里了，所以我就只能睡在朋友家的地板上，靠回收空可樂瓶的5美分退費(fèi)買吃的。在入學(xué)6個(gè)月之后，我已經(jīng)看不到在這里上學(xué)的價(jià)值所在。在我就要出生的時(shí)候，她已經(jīng)把一切準(zhǔn)備工作做好了，希望我被一對(duì)律師夫婦收養(yǎng)。說真的，今天可能是我一生中離大學(xué)畢業(yè)最近的一天。t
