【正文】 Thank you all very much.非常感謝你們。在最后一期的封底上是清晨鄉(xiāng)村公路的照片（如果你有冒險(xiǎn)精神的話，你可以自己找到這條路的），在照片之下有這樣一段話：“保持饑餓,保持愚蠢。那是六十年代后期, 在個(gè)人電腦出現(xiàn)之前, 所以這本書全部是用打字機(jī),、剪刀還有偏光鏡制造的。還有最重要的是, 你要有勇氣去聽從你直覺和心靈的指示——它們?cè)谀撤N程度上知道你想要成為什么樣子，所有其他的事情都是次要的。t let the noise of other39。t waste it living someone else39。它將舊的清除以便給新的讓路。但是死亡是我們每個(gè)人共同的終點(diǎn)。ve been to facing death, and I hope its the closest I get for a few more decades.

Woz and I started Apple in my parents garage when I was 20. We 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 employees. We had just released our finest creation the Macintosh a year earlier, and I had just turned 30. And then I got fired. How 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 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.
