【正文】 I would walk the 7 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 example: Reed College at that time offered perhaps the best calligraphy instruction in the the campus every poster, every label on every drawer, was beautifully hand I had dropped out and didn’t have to take the normal classes, I decided to take a calligraphy class to learn how to do learned about serif and san serif 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 can’t capture, and I found it of this had even a hope of any practical application in my ten years later, when we were designing the first Macintosh puter, it all came back to we designed it all into the was the first puter with beautiful I had never dropped in on that single course in college, the Mac would have never had multiple typefaces or proportionally spaced since Windows just copied the Mac, its likely that no personal puter would have I had never dropped out, I would have never dropped in on this calligraphy class, and personal puters might not have the wonderful typography that they course it was impossible to connect the dots looking forward when I was in it was very, very clear looking backwards ten years , you can’t connect the dots looking forward。當(dāng)時(shí)是1970年代中期，我正是你們現(xiàn)在這個(gè)年齡的時(shí)候。不要讓別人的意見淹沒了你內(nèi)在的心聲。經(jīng)歷此事后，我可以比之前死亡只是抽象概念時(shí)要更肯定告訴你們下面這些： 沒有人想死。那代表你得試著在幾個(gè)月內(nèi)把你將來十年想跟小孩講的話講完。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。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。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。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。我好運(yùn)－年輕時(shí)就發(fā)現(xiàn)自己愛做什么事。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。我喜歡Hare Krishna神廟的好料。十七年后，我上大學(xué)了。那么，我為什么休學(xué)？這得從我出生前講起。你得找出你的所愛?！?“Stay Foolish.”)這是他們的告別語。這好像是紙上的Google,但在Google出現(xiàn)前35年：它是理想主義的，充滿了簡潔的工具與偉大的想法。不要讓他人意見的噪音蓋過你自己內(nèi)心的聲音。它是生命改變的媒介。我希望這也是我今后幾十年內(nèi)最近的一次。晚上，我做了活組織檢測。我都不知道胰臟是什么。記住很快我將離開人世，這是幫助我做重大決定的最重要的工具。不要妥協(xié)。有時(shí)候，生活象用板兒磚拍頭一樣打擊你。Pixar創(chuàng)造了世界上第一部電腦動(dòng)畫電影，玩具總動(dòng)員。但是慢慢的我才開始意識(shí)到我仍舊熱愛我所作的事情。當(dāng)我們鬧翻的時(shí)候，董事會(huì)站在了他的一邊。我們非常努力。你只能回過頭來再把它們聯(lián)系起來。但是，10年后，當(dāng)我們?cè)O(shè)計(jì)第一臺(tái)Macintosh電腦時(shí)，這一切就又重現(xiàn)了。我憑著好奇心與直覺所遇到的一切，很大一部分在后來被證明是無比珍貴的。在當(dāng)時(shí)，這個(gè)決定是非常令人害怕的。17年后，我確實(shí)上大學(xué)了。所以，一切本來都已經(jīng)安排好了，我將會(huì)被一個(gè)律師和他的妻子收養(yǎng)。只是三個(gè)故事。史蒂芬喬布斯在斯坦福大學(xué)的演講中就為學(xué)生們談到自己的創(chuàng)業(yè)歷程以及自己成功的一些感觸。?Students, while I cannot make any predictions about what paths each of you will take in your journey at Stanford, I urge you to begin this process of intellectual discovery, just as Stanford urged at the opening day ceremonies for the first freshman class in 1891: 同學(xué)們，你們?cè)谒固垢５穆贸讨袑⑻ど鲜裁?樣的道路，我無從預(yù)言，但我強(qiáng)烈希望你們能夠遵循李蘭德坦福參議員在1891年的開學(xué)典禮上對(duì)第一屆新生提出的要求來開始你們探索智慧的旅程：?A university may be founded for you。我們有出色的師資和員工，他們致力于求知與理解，將會(huì)在旅途中支持和鼓勵(lì)你們。9月11日上As we considered how to start a new academic year, we decided that a Convocation was, in fact, the most fitting way to resume our normal 。以下是斯坦福大學(xué)校長在2001年9月21日開學(xué) Parents and students of the Class of 2005: 各位家長，2005屆的同學(xué)們：Good afternoon and wele to Stanford , we celebrate the arrival of 1,717 new freshmen and transfer ！歡迎各位來到斯坦福大學(xué)。In your time here, you will get to know people whose background, culture or beliefs are different from may find that your valuesand your prejudicesare ，將會(huì)認(rèn)識(shí)很多人，他們的背景、文化或者信仰可能與你們迥然不同，你們會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)自己的價(jià)值觀以及偏見將會(huì)受到挑戰(zhàn)。我知道，你們中的每個(gè)人都曾經(jīng)奮發(fā)努力才能來到這里，但我也感謝父母、家人、師長和朋友的貢獻(xiàn)，他們?cè)鵀槟闾ど纤固垢Ｖ方o予支持。我們所能做的，只是把機(jī)會(huì)放在你們伸手可及的范圍內(nèi)；抓住機(jī)會(huì)，利用機(jī)會(huì)，得靠你們自己。我從來沒有從大學(xué)畢業(yè)。但是，在我真正離開那里前，我又呆了大約18個(gè)月。他們?cè)诎胍菇拥搅艘粋€(gè)電話，“我們有一個(gè)意料之外的男嬰。六個(gè)月后，我看不到這有任何價(jià)值。這并不浪漫。因?yàn)槲逸z學(xué)了，不用再去上正常的課程，我決定上書法課，去學(xué)學(xué)如何寫書法。因?yàn)閃indows只是照搬了Mac，有可能沒有任何個(gè)人電腦會(huì)有這樣的字體。這一方法從沒有讓我失望過。然后，我被解雇了。有幾個(gè)月的時(shí)間，我真的不知道做什么好。所以，我決定重新開始。我重返了蘋果。你一定要找到你所熱愛的。所以，繼續(xù)找吧，直到你找到。你已經(jīng)赤條條無牽掛。我的醫(yī)生建議我回家把后事準(zhǔn)備好，這也是醫(yī)生對(duì)準(zhǔn)備去死的說法。但是我的妻子在現(xiàn)場。即使是想進(jìn)入天堂的人們也不想通過死亡進(jìn)入那里。但是，不久，你們會(huì)慢慢變成老的，然后被清理掉。其他的一切都不重要。當(dāng)時(shí)我正處在你們的年紀(jì)。我一直這樣勉勵(lì)我自己。說實(shí)話，這是我離大學(xué)畢業(yè)最近的一刻。但是這對(duì)夫妻到了最后一刻反悔了，他們想收養(yǎng)女孩。那時(shí)候，我不知道這輩子要干什么，也不知道念大學(xué)能對(duì)我有什么幫助，而且我為了念這個(gè)書，花光了我父母這輩子的所有積蓄，所以我決定休學(xué)，相信船到橋頭自然直。在整個(gè)校園內(nèi)的每一張海報(bào)上，每個(gè)抽屜的標(biāo)簽上，都是美麗的手寫字。我再說一次，你不能預(yù)先把點(diǎn)點(diǎn)滴滴串在一起；唯有未來回顧時(shí)，你才會(huì)明白那些點(diǎn)點(diǎn)滴滴是如何串在一起的。要怎么讓自己創(chuàng)辦的公司炒自己魷魚？好吧，當(dāng)蘋果計(jì)算機(jī)成長后，我請(qǐng)了一個(gè)我以為他在經(jīng)營公司上很有才干的家伙來，他在頭幾年也確實(shí)干得不錯(cuò)。我被否定了，可是我還是愛做那些事情，所以我決定從頭來過。這帖藥很苦口，可是我想蘋果計(jì)算機(jī)這個(gè)病人需要這帖藥。而且，如同任何偉大的關(guān)系，事情只會(huì)隨著時(shí)間愈來愈好。人生不帶來，死不帶去，沒什么道理不順心而為。我整天想著那個(gè)診斷結(jié)果，那天晚上做了一次切片，從喉嚨伸入一個(gè)內(nèi)視鏡，從胃進(jìn)腸子，插了根針進(jìn)胰臟，取了一些腫瘤細(xì)胞出來。這是注定的，因?yàn)樗劳龊喼本褪巧凶畎舻陌l(fā)明，是生命變化的媒介，送走老人們，給新生代留下空間。在我年輕時(shí)，有本神奇的雜志叫做Whole Earth Catalog，當(dāng)年我們很迷這本雜志。那是他們親筆寫下的告別訊息，我總是以此自許。在辦公室里，也許再難聽到他罵人了，只留下曾經(jīng)他的那些經(jīng)典的激勵(lì)我們的語錄——不要按照用戶的壞習(xí)慣去設(shè)計(jì)，也不要按照程序員的思維去設(shè)計(jì)！1, do not according to user bad habits to design, also do not according to programmers thinking design!有好的想法要堅(jiān)持，不要被其他人的觀點(diǎn)的噪聲掩蓋你真正的內(nèi)心的聲音。MACBook如果加了小紅點(diǎn)，那它即不是IBM Thinkpad也不是蘋果MACBook了。15, bee the pronoun of not because of
