【文章內(nèi)容簡介】 Well, as Apple grew we hired someone who I thought was very talented to run the pany with me, and for the first year or so things went well. But then our visions of the future began to diverge and eventually we had a falling out. When we did, our Board of Directors sided with him. So at 30 I was out. And very publicly out. What had been the focus of my entire adult life was gone, and it was devastating. I really didn39。39。t know what to do for a few months.

And Laurene and I have a wonderful family together. I39。39。m pretty sure none of this would have happened if I hadn39。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. Don39。39。t lose faith. I39。39。m convinced that the only thing that kept me going was that I loved what I did. You39。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.
