Jobs于2005年6月12號在斯坦福大學的畢業(yè)典禮上面的演講稿。謝謝大家。很榮幸能和你們，來自世界最好大學之一的畢業(yè)生們，一塊兒參加畢業(yè)典禮。老實說，我大學沒有畢業(yè)，今天恐怕是我一生中離大學畢業(yè)最近的一次了。今天，我想告訴大家來自我生活的三個故事。不是長篇大論，只是三個故事而已。第一個故事，如何串連生命中的點滴。我 在里得大學讀了六個月就退學了，但是在十八個月之后我真正退學之前，我還常去學校。為何我要選擇退學呢？這還得從我出生之前說起。我的生母是一個年 輕、未婚的大學畢業(yè)生，她決定讓別人收養(yǎng)我。她有一個很強烈的信仰，認為我應該被一個大學畢業(yè)生家庭收養(yǎng)。于是，一對律師夫婦說好了要領養(yǎng)我，然而最后一 秒鐘，他們改變了主意，決定要個女孩兒。然后我的排在收養(yǎng)人名單中的養(yǎng)父母在一個深夜接到電話，“很意外，我們多了一個男嬰，你們要嗎？”“當然要！”但 是我的生母后來又發(fā)現(xiàn)我的養(yǎng)母沒有大學畢業(yè)，養(yǎng)父連高中都沒有畢業(yè)。她拒絕在領養(yǎng)書上簽字。幾個月后，我的養(yǎng)父母保證會讓我上大學，她妥協(xié)了。這 是我生命的開端。十七年后，我上大學了，但是我很無知地選了一所差不多和斯坦福一樣貴的學校，幾乎花掉我那藍領階層養(yǎng)父母一生的積蓄。六個月后，我覺得不 值得。我看不出自己以后要做什么，也不曉得大學會怎樣幫我指點迷津，而我卻在花銷父母一生的積蓄。所以我決定退學，并且相信沒有做錯。一開始非常嚇人，但 回憶起來，這卻是我一生中作的最好的決定之一。從我退學的那一刻起，我可以停止一切不感興趣的必修課，開始旁聽那些有意思得多的課。事情并不那么美好。我沒有宿舍可住，睡在朋友房間的地上。為了吃飯，我收集五分一個的舊可樂瓶，每個星期天晚上步行七英里到哈爾克里什納廟里改善一下一周的伙食。我喜歡這種生活方式。能夠遵循自己的好奇和直覺前行后來被證明是多么的珍貴。讓我來給你們舉個例子吧。當 時的里得大學提供可能是全國最好的書法指導。校園中每一張海報，抽屜上的每一張標簽，都是漂亮
