在按照別人設(shè)想的結(jié)果而活。有了這次經(jīng)歷之后,現(xiàn)在我可以更加實在地和你們談?wù)撍劳?,而不是純粹紙上談兵,那就? 誰都不愿意死。那天早上七點半,我做了一次掃描檢查,結(jié)果清楚地表明我的胰腺上長了一個瘤子,可那時我連胰腺是什么還不知道呢!醫(yī)生告訴我說,幾乎可以確診這是一種無法治愈的惡性腫瘤,我最多還能活 3 到 6 個月。我的第三個故事與死亡有關(guān)。我堅信讓我一往無前的唯一力量就是我熱愛我所做的一切。這使我進(jìn)入了一生中最富有創(chuàng)造力的時期之一。諾伊斯(Bob Noyce,英特爾公司創(chuàng)建者之一─譯注),想為把事情搞得這么糟糕說聲道歉。你怎么會被自己辦的公司解雇呢?是這樣,隨著蘋果公司越做越大,我們聘了一位我認(rèn)為非常有才華的人與我一道管理公司。你們必須信賴某些東西─直覺、歸宿、生命,還有業(yè)力,等等。這是第一臺有這么漂亮的文字版式的計算機(jī)。我給大家舉個例子:當(dāng)時,里德學(xué)院的書法課大概是全國最好的。當(dāng)年做出這個決定時心里直打鼓,但現(xiàn)在回想起來,這還真是我有生以來做出的最好的決定之一。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),所以她拒絕在最后的收養(yǎng)文件上簽字。今天我想給大家講三個我自己的故事,不講別的,也不講大道理,就講三個故事。s,

“我們這兒有一個沒人要的男嬰,你們要么?”“當(dāng)然要”他們回答。所以,我決定退學(xué),并且堅信日后會證明我這樣做是對的。我憑著好奇心和直覺所干的這些事情,有許多后來都證明是無價之寶。于是,我們把這些東西全都設(shè)計進(jìn)了計算機(jī)中。所以,要相信這些點遲早會連接到一起。可后來,我被解雇了。我去見了戴維帕卡德(David Packard,惠普公司創(chuàng)始人之一─譯注)和鮑勃。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。有時生活會當(dāng)頭給你一棒,但不要灰心。不要半途而廢。大約一年前,我被診斷患了癌癥。這是我和死神離得最近的一次,我希望也是今后幾十年里最近的一次。你們的時間都有限,所以不要按照別人的意愿去活,這是浪費時間。他用詩一般的語言把刊物辦得生動活潑。那是他們??暗母鎰e辭。他們將他的演講登在互聯(lián)網(wǎng)上,在博客上展開討論,通過電子郵件互相發(fā)送,在全球傳閱。我大學(xué)沒畢業(yè),說實話,這是我第一次離大學(xué)畢業(yè)典禮這么近。沒想到我落地的霎那間,那對夫婦卻決定收養(yǎng)一名女孩。當(dāng)時我很天真,選了一所學(xué)費幾乎和斯坦福大學(xué)一樣昂貴的學(xué)校,當(dāng)工人的養(yǎng)父母傾其所有的積蓄為我支付了大學(xué)學(xué)費。t all didn39。我憑著好奇心和直覺所干的這些事情,有許多后來都證明是無價之寶。None 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

。十年之后再回頭看,兩者之間的關(guān)系就非常、非常清楚了。幸運的是,我在很小的時候就發(fā)現(xiàn)自己喜歡做什么。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。t even know what a pancreas doctors told me this was almost certainly a type of cancer that is incurable, and that I should expect to live no longer than three to six doctor advised me to go home and get my affairs in order, which is

、謙卑若愚。我在里得大學(xué)讀了六個月就退學(xué)了,但是在十八個月之后我真正退學(xué)之前,我還常去學(xué)校。這是我生命的開端。我沒有宿舍可住,睡在朋友房間的地上。在這門課上,我學(xué)會了“serif”和“sansserif”兩種字體、學(xué)會了怎樣在不同的字母組合中改變字間距、學(xué)會了怎樣寫出好的字來這是一種科學(xué)無法捕捉的微妙,楚楚動人、充滿歷史底蘊(yùn)和藝術(shù)性,我覺得自己被完全吸引了。當(dāng)然,我在大學(xué)里不可能從這一點上看到它與將來的關(guān)系。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。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(quán)杖給弄丟了。成功的重?fù)?dān)被重新起步的輕松替代,任何事情都不再特別看重。有些時候,生活會給你迎頭一棒。所以繼續(xù)找,不要停。你已經(jīng)赤裸裸了,沒有理由不聽從于自己的心愿。我整日都想著那診斷書的事情。它陳讓新。所有其他東西都是次要的。那是七十年代中期,我和你們差不多大。今天,我只說3個故事,不談大道理,3個故事就好。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。所以,我決定休學(xué),相信船到橋頭自然直。當(dāng)時銳意得學(xué)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(biāo)簽上,都是美麗的手寫字。當(dāng)然,當(dāng)我還在大學(xué)的時候,不可能把這些點點滴滴預(yù)先串連在一起,但10年后的今天回首,一切顯得非常清楚。我很幸運年輕時就發(fā)現(xiàn)了自己愛做什么事。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。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(xiàn)在是世界上最成功的動畫制作公司(聽眾鼓掌大笑)。m onvinced that the only thing that kept me going was that I loved what I
