It started before I was biological mother was a young, unwed college graduate student, and she decided to put me up for felt very strongly that I should be adopted by college graduates, so everything was all set for me to be adopted at birth by a lawyer and his that when I popped out they decided at the last minute that they really wanted a my parents, who were on a waiting list, got a call in the middle of the night asking: “We have an unexpected baby boy。do you want him?” They said: “Of course.” My biological mother later found out that my mother had never graduated from college and that my father had never graduated from high refused to sign the final adoption only relented a few months later when my parents promised that I would someday go to 17 years later I did go to I naively chose a college that was almost as expensive as Stanford, and all of my workingclass parents39。 savings were being spent on my college six months, I couldn39。t see the value in had no idea what I wanted to do with my life and no idea how college was going to help me figure it here I was spending all of the money my parents had saved their entire I decided to drop out and trust that it would all work out was pretty scary at the time, but looking back it was one of the best decisions I ever minute I dropped out I could stop taking the required classes that didn39。t interest me, and begin dropping in on the ones that looked wasn39。t all didn39。t have a dorm room, so I slept on the floor in friends39。 rooms, I returned coke bottles for the 5162。 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: 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 didn39。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 can39。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, it39。s 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 can39。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 somethingI 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 creationa year earlier, and I had just turned then I got can you get fired from a pany you started?
