【正文】 tay Foolish！吸收知識就像是饑餓時想吃東西一樣，形容對知識很渴望；向他人請教時要像什么都不懂，形容非常的謙虛好學。t see the value in had no idea what I wanted to do with my life, and no idea of how college was going to help me figure it out, and here I was, spending all 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。t connect the dots looking can only connect them looking backwards, so you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your have to trust in somethingyour gut, destiny, life, karma, whateverbecause believing that the dots will connect down the road will give you the confidence to follow your heart, even when it leads you off the wellworn path, and that will make all the second story is about love and was found what I loved to do early in and I started Apple in my parents39。s current renaissance, and Lorene and I have a wonderful family 39。t with all matters of the heart, you39。d have the next ten years to tell them, in just a few means to make sure that everything is buttoned up so that it will be as easy as possible for your means to say your lived with that diagnosis all that evening I had a biopsy where they stuck an endoscope down my throat, through my stomach into my intestines, put a needle into my pancreas and got a few cells from the was sedated but my wife, who was there, told me that when they viewed the cells under a microscope, the doctor started crying, because it turned out to be a very rare form of pancreatic cancer that is curable with had the surgery and, thankfully, I am fine was the closest I39。t waste it living someone else39。老實說，我大學沒有畢業(yè)，今天恐怕是我一生中離大學畢業(yè)最近的一次了。于是，一對律師夫婦說好了要領養(yǎng)我，然而最后一 秒鐘，他們改變了主意，決定要個女孩兒。所以我決定退學，并且相信沒有做錯。讓我來給你們舉個例子吧。我沒有宿舍可住，睡在朋友房間的地上。這 是我生命的開端。我 在里得大學讀了六個月就退學了，但是在十八個月之后我真正退學之前，我還常去學校。t let the noise of others39。s life39。ll be dead soon is the most important thing I39。t lose 39。t know what to do for a few felt that I had let the previous generation of entrepreneurs down, that I had dropped the baton as it was being passed to met with David Packard and Bob Noyce and tried to apologize for screwing up so was a very public failure and I even thought about running away from the something slowly began to dawn on still loved what I turn of events at Apple had not changed that one 39。 returned Coke bottles for the fivecent deposits to buy food with, and I would walk the seven miles across town every Sunday night to get one good meal a week at the Hare Krishna loved much of what I stumbled into by following my curiosity and intuition turned out to be priceless later me give you one College at that time offered perhaps the best calligraphy instruction in the the campus every poster, every label on every drawer was beautifully I had dropped out and didn39。s big three first story is about connecting the dropped out of Reed College after the first six months but then stayed around as a dropin for another eighteen months or so before I really why did I drop out? 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。當時是70年代中期，我正是你們現在這個年齡。不要被教條所局限，盲從教條就是活在別人思考的結果里。所以我接受了手術，康復了。醫(yī)生告訴我，那幾乎可以確定是一種不治之癥，預計我大概活不到3到6個月。17歲時，我讀到一則格言，好像是說“把每1天都當成生命中的最后1天，你就會輕松自在（If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you39。m onvinced that the only thing that kept me going was that I loved what I did）。Pixar接著制作了世界上第1部全電腦動畫電影《玩具總動員（Toy Story）》，現在是世界上最成功的動畫制作公司（聽眾鼓掌大笑）。我覺得我令企業(yè)界的前輩們失望，我把他 們交給我的接力棒弄丟了。我很幸運年輕時就發(fā)現了自己愛做什么事。當然，當我還在大學的時候，不可能把這些點點滴滴預先串連在一起，但10年后的今天回首，一切顯得非常清楚。當時銳意得學院有著大概是全國最好的書寫教育，校園里的每一張海報上每一個抽屜標簽上，都是美麗的手寫字。所以，我決定休學，相信船到橋頭自然直。所以我必須等待收養(yǎng)名單上的另一對夫妻，也就是我后來的養(yǎng)父母。今天，我只說3個故事，不談大道理，3個故事就好。那是七十年代中期，我和你們差不多大。所有其他東西都是次要的。它陳讓新。我整日都想著那診斷書的事情。你已經赤裸裸了，沒有理由不聽從于自己的心愿。所以繼續(xù)找，不要停。有些時候，生活會給你迎頭一棒。成功的重擔被重新起步的輕松替代，任何事情都不再特別看重。我覺得我讓公司的前一代創(chuàng)建者們失望了，我把傳給我的權杖給弄丟了。我二十歲的時候就和沃茨在父母的車庫里開創(chuàng)了蘋果公司。當然，我在大學里不可能從這一點上看到它與將來的關系。在這門課上，我學會了“serif”和“sansserif”兩種字體、學會了怎樣在不同的字母組合中改變字間距、學會了怎樣寫出好的字來這是一種科學無法捕捉的微妙，楚楚動人、充滿歷史底蘊和藝術性，我覺得自己被完全吸引了。我沒有宿舍可住，睡在朋友房間的地上。這是我生命的開端。我在里得大學讀了六個月就退學了，但是在十八個月之后我真正退學之前，我還常去學校。do you want him?” They said: “Of course.” My biological mother later found out that my mother had never graduated from college and that my father had never graduated from high refused to sign the final adoption only relented a few months later when my parents promised that I would someday go to 17 years later I did go to I naively chose a college that was almost as expensive as Stanford, and all of my workingclass parents’ savings were being spent on my college six months, I couldn’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 didn’t interest me, and begin dropping in on the ones that looked far more wasn’t all didn’t have a dorm room, so I slept on the floor in friends’ rooms, I returned coke bottles for the 5162。今天，我想告訴大家來自我生活的三個故事。然后我的排在收養(yǎng)人名單中的養(yǎng)父母在一個深夜接到電話，“很意外，我們多了一個男嬰，你們要嗎？”“當然要！”但是我的生母后來又發(fā)現我的養(yǎng)母沒有大學畢業(yè)，養(yǎng)父連高中都沒有畢業(yè)。一開始非常嚇人，但回憶起來，這卻是我一生中作的最好的決定之一。當時的里得大學提供可能是全國最好的書法指導。要不是我當初在大學里偶然選了這 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。第二個故事是關于愛與失的。于是，在我三十歲的時候，我出局了，很公開地出局了。我被逐了，但我仍愛著。我們在NeXT開發(fā)的技術在蘋果的復興中起了核心作用，另外勞琳和我組建了一個幸福的家庭。如果你還沒有找到，那么就繼續(xù)找，不要停。提醒自己就要死了是我遇見的最大的幫
