【文章內(nèi)容簡介】 deposits to buy food with, and 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:這一點也不羅曼蒂克。沒了宿舍，所以我要到朋友家睡地板。為了填飽肚子，我撿過值5美分的可樂罐。為了每周一頓的好一點的飯，每個星期天晚上，我穿街過巷，步行7英里到hare krishna教堂。我喜歡那里的飯菜。在好奇和直覺的引導(dǎo)下，我跌跌撞撞地遇到很多東西，這些后來被證明是無價瑰寶。我給你們舉一個例子吧：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 ，里德學(xué)院的書法課程也許是全美最好的。學(xué)校里的每個海報，抽屜上的每個標(biāo)簽，上面全都是漂亮的書法。因為我退學(xué)了，沒有了正常的課程，所以我決定去上/書法課，去學(xué)學(xué)怎樣寫出漂亮的字。我學(xué)到了san serif 和serif字體，我學(xué)會了怎么樣在不同的字母組合之中變化間距，還有怎么樣做最好的版式。那種美感、真實感和藝術(shù)感，是科學(xué)永遠不能捕捉到的，(我發(fā)現(xiàn))那實在是太迷人了。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 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 。但十年之后，當(dāng)我們在設(shè)計第一臺macintosh計算機的時候，就全部派上用場。我把當(dāng)時我學(xué)的那些東西全都融入到mac。那是擁有漂亮字體的第一臺計算機。如果我當(dāng)時沒有退學(xué)，我沒機會沉迷于書法課程，mac就不會有種類繁多或的行距整齊的字體。如果windows沒有抄襲mac，個人電腦很可能就不會這么多字體。如果我沒有退學(xué)，我不會沉迷于書法課程，個人電腦很可能就不會這么多字體。當(dāng)然了，我在學(xué)校的時候不可能把這些點點滴滴提前串連起來。但在十年之后回顧過去，這些東西歷歷在目。again, you can’t connect the dots looking forward。you can only connect them looking you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your have to trust in something — your gut, destiny, life, karma, approach has never let me down, and it would made all the ，你不可能把這些點點滴滴提前串連起來。你只能在回顧的時候把它們串連起來。所以你必須相信這些點點滴滴是和你的未來項鏈的。你必須要相信某些東西：直覺、命運、生命、因緣等等。這個方法從未讓我失望過，它讓我與眾不同。my second story is about love and 。i was lucky — i found what i loved to do early in and i started apple in my parents garage when i was worked hard, and in 10 years apple had grown from just the two of us in a garage into a $2 billion pany with over 4000 had just released our finest creation — the macintosh — a year earlier, and i had just turned then i got can you get fired from a pany you started? 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 then our visions of the future began to diverge and eventually we had a falling we did, our board of directors sided with at 30 i was very publicly had been the focus of my entire adult life was gone, and it was ，因為我在很早的時候就找到了我鐘愛的東西。我在二十歲的時候，沃茲和我在父母的車庫里面開創(chuàng)了蘋果公司。我們努力工作，十年之后，蘋果從只有兩個的窮小子的車庫公司，發(fā)展到了員工超過四千名、市值超過二十億的大公司。在公司成立的第九年，我們剛剛發(fā)布了最好的產(chǎn)品——macintosh。我也快要到而立之年了。后來，我被炒魷魚了。你怎么可能被你自己創(chuàng)立的公司炒了魷魚呢? 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，在最初的幾年風(fēng)調(diào)雨順。但是后來我們對公司未來的看法有了分歧，最終我們吵了起來。當(dāng)吵的不可開交的時候，董事會站在了他的那一邊。所以在三十歲的時候，我被炒魷魚了。公開地把我掃地出門了。曾經(jīng)是我整個生命的中心已經(jīng)不再有了，這讓我不知所措。i really didn’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 me — i still loved what i turn of events at apple had not changed that one had been rejected, but i was still in so i decided to start ，我真是不知道該做些什么，演講稿《喬布斯斯坦福大學(xué)畢業(yè)典禮演講稿》。我覺得我很令上一代的企業(yè)家們很失望，因為我把他們交給我的接力棒弄丟了。我把事情搞砸了，我和(創(chuàng)辦hp的)david packard和(創(chuàng)辦intel的)bob noyce見面，并試圖向他們道歉。在公眾面前，我是個失敗者，我甚至想過逃離硅谷。但我后來慢慢看到了曙光，我仍然喜愛我從事的一切。在蘋果發(fā)生的**，并沒有絲毫改變這一點。雖然我被驅(qū)逐了，但是我仍然鐘愛我所做的事情。所以我決定從頭再來。i didn’t see it then, but it turned out that getting fired from apple was the best thing that could have ever happened to heaviness of being successful was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner again, less sure about freed me to enter one of the most creative periods of my ，但是事后證明，被蘋果掃地出門是我這一生經(jīng)歷的最好的事。因為，作為一個創(chuàng)業(yè)者的輕松感覺重新替代作為一個成功者的負(fù)重感，不要把每件事情都看得那么重。它(掃地出門)把我釋放出來，讓我進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 went on to create the worlds first puter animated feature film, toy story, and is now the most successful animation studio in the a remarkable turn of events, apple bought next, i returned to apple, and the technology we developed at next is at the heart of apple’s current laurene and i have a wonderful family ，我創(chuàng)立了一個名叫next的公司，還有一個叫pixar的公司，還有和一位魅力女士相識并相愛，她后來成為我的妻子。pixar 制作了全球第一部由電腦制作的動畫電影——“玩具總動員”，pixar現(xiàn)在也是全球上最成功的電腦制作工作室。在隨后一系列運作中，蘋果收購了next，我重返蘋果。我們在next研發(fā)的技術(shù)是蘋果重?zé)ㄉ鷻C的關(guān)鍵。而且，我還和laurence共同建立了一個幸福完美的家庭。i’m pretty sure none of this would have happened if i hadn’t been fired from was awful tasting medicine, but i guess the patient needed life hits you in the head with a ’t lose ’m convinced that the only thing that kept me going was that i loved what i ’ve got to find what you that is as true for your work as it is for 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 the only way to do great work is to love what you you haven’t found it yet, keep don’t with all matters of the heart, you’ll know when you find , like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years rol
