【文章內(nèi)容簡介】 osh。我也快要到三十歲了。在那一年，我被炒了魷魚。你怎么可能被你自己創(chuàng)立的公司炒了魷魚呢?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，公司運轉(zhuǎn)的很好。但是后來我們對未來的看法發(fā)生了分歧, 最終我們吵了起來。當(dāng)爭吵不可開交的時候，董事會站在了他的那一邊。所以在三十歲的時候，我被炒了。在這么多人的眼皮下我被炒了。在而立之年，我生命的全部支柱離自己遠(yuǎn)去，這真是毀滅性的打擊。
　　i really didnamp。39。t know what to do for a few months. i felt that i had let the previous generation of entrepreneurs down that i had dropped the baton as it was being passed to me. i met with david packard and bob noyce and tried to apologize for screwing up so badly. i was a very public failure, and i even thought about running away from the valley. but something slowly began to dawn on me amp。ndash。 i still loved what i did. the turn of events at apple had not changed that one bit. i had been rejected, but i was still in love. and so i decided to start over.
　　在最初的幾個月里，我真是不知道該做些什么。我把從前的創(chuàng)業(yè)激情給丟了，我覺得自己讓與我一同創(chuàng)業(yè)的人都很沮喪。我和 david pack 和 bob boyce 見面，并試圖向他們道歉。我把事情弄得糟糕透頂了。但是我漸漸發(fā)現(xiàn)了曙光，我仍然喜愛我從事的這些東西。蘋果公司發(fā)生的這些事情絲毫的沒有改變這些，一點也沒有。我被驅(qū)逐了，但是我仍然鐘愛它。所以我決定從頭再來。
　　i didnamp。39。t see it then, but it turned out that getting fired from apple was the best thing that could have ever happened to me. the heaviness of being successful was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner again, less sure about everything. it freed me to enter one of the most creative periods of my life.
　　我當(dāng)時沒有覺察，但是事后證明，從蘋果公司被炒是我這輩子發(fā)生的最棒的事情。因為，作為一個成功者的極樂感覺被作為一個創(chuàng)業(yè)者的輕松感覺所重新代替：對任何事情都不那么特別看重。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。
　　during the next five years, i started a pany named next, another pany named pixar, and fell in love with an amazing woman who would bee my wife. pixar went on to create the worlds first puter animated feature film, toy story, and is now the most successful animation studio in the world. in a remarkable turn of events, apple bought next, i retuned to apple, and the technology we developed at next is at the heart of appleamp。39。s current renaissance. and laurene and i have a wonderful family together.
　　在接下來的五年里, 我創(chuàng)立了一個名叫 next 的公司，還有一個叫pixar的公司，然后和一個后來成為我妻子的優(yōu)雅女人相識。pixar 制作了世界上第一個用電腦制作的動畫電影?！??！?。玩具總動員”。，pixar 現(xiàn)在也是世界上最成功的電腦制作工作室。在后來的一系列運轉(zhuǎn)中，apple 收購了next，然后我又回到了蘋果公司。我們在next 發(fā)展的技術(shù)在 apple 的復(fù)興之中發(fā)揮了關(guān)鍵的作用。我還和 laurence 一起建立了一個幸福的家庭。
　　iamp。39。m pretty sure none of this would have happened if i hadnamp。39。t been fired from apple. it was awful tasting medicine, but i guess the patient needed it. sometimes life hits you in the head with a brick. donamp。39。t lose faith. iamp。39。m convinced that the only thing that kept me going was that i loved what i did. youamp。39。ve got to find what you love. and that is as true for your work as it is for your lovers. your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. and the only way to do great work is to love what you do. if you havenamp。39。t found it yet, keep looking. donamp。39。t settle. as with all matters of the heart, youamp。39。ll know when you find it. and, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on. so keep looking until you find it. donamp。39。t settle.
　　我可以非常肯定,如果我不被蘋果公司開除的話，這其中一件事情也不會發(fā)生的。這個良藥的味道實在是太苦了，但是我想病人需要這個藥。有些時候，生活會拿起一塊磚頭向你的腦袋上猛拍一下。不要失去信心，我很清楚唯一使我一直走下去的，就是我做的事情令我無比鐘愛。你需要去找到你所愛的東西，對于工作是如此，對于你的愛人也是如此。你的工作將會占據(jù)生活中很大
