年代末，還沒(méi)有個(gè)人電腦和桌面印刷系統(tǒng)，全靠打字機(jī)、剪刀和寶麗萊照相機(jī)（Polaroid）。最主要的是，要有跟著自己感覺(jué)和直覺(jué)走的勇氣。對(duì)不起，話說(shuō)得太過(guò)分了，不過(guò)這是千真萬(wàn)確的。然而，死亡是我們共同的歸宿，沒(méi)人能擺脫。我做了手術(shù)，現(xiàn)在好了。也就是說(shuō)，把今后十年要跟孩子們說(shuō)的事情在這幾個(gè)月內(nèi)囑咐完；也就是說(shuō)，把一切都安排妥當(dāng)，盡可能不給家人留麻煩；也就是說(shuō)，去跟大家訣別。你已經(jīng)一無(wú)所有了，還有什么理由不跟著自己的感覺(jué)走呢?！蔽矣涀×诉@句話，從那時(shí)起，33 年過(guò)去了，我每天早晨都對(duì)著鏡子自問(wèn): “假如今天是生命的最后一天，我還會(huì)去做今天要做的事嗎？”如果一連許多天我的回答都是“不”，我知道自己應(yīng)該有所改變了。所以說(shuō)，要不斷地尋找，直到找到自己喜歡的東西。工作將是生活中的一大部分，讓自己真正滿意的唯一辦法，是做自己認(rèn)為是有意義的工作；做有意義的工作的唯一辦法，是熱愛(ài)自己的工作。這是一劑苦藥，可我認(rèn)為苦藥利于病。皮克斯公司推出了世界上第一部用電腦制作的動(dòng)畫(huà)片《玩具總動(dòng)員》（Toy Story），它現(xiàn)在是全球最成功的動(dòng)畫(huà)制作室。雖然當(dāng)時(shí)我并沒(méi)有意識(shí)到，但事實(shí)證明，被蘋(píng)果公司炒魷魚(yú)是我一生中碰到的最好的事情。但是，漸漸地，我開(kāi)始有了一個(gè)想法─我仍然熱愛(ài)我過(guò)去做的一切。一連幾個(gè)月，我真的不知道應(yīng)該怎么辦。在開(kāi)始的一年多里，一切都很順利。我們干得很賣(mài)力，十年后，蘋(píng)果公司就從車(chē)庫(kù)里我們兩個(gè)人發(fā)展成為一個(gè)擁有 20 億元資產(chǎn)、4,000 名員工的大企業(yè)。這樣做從來(lái)沒(méi)有讓我的希望落空過(guò)，而且還徹底改變了我的生活。十年之后再回頭看，兩者之間的關(guān)系就非常、非常清楚了。要不是我當(dāng)初在大學(xué)里偶然選了這么一門(mén)課，Macintosh 計(jì)算機(jī)絕不會(huì)有那么多種印刷字體或間距安排合理的字號(hào)。當(dāng)時(shí)我并不指望書(shū)法在以后的生活中能有什么實(shí)用價(jià)值。校園里所有的公告欄和每個(gè)抽屜標(biāo)簽上的字都寫(xiě)得非常漂亮。每個(gè)星期天晚上我都要走七英里，到城那頭的黑爾－科里施納禮拜堂去，吃每周才能享用一次的美餐。從退學(xué)那一刻起，我就可以不再選那些我毫無(wú)興趣的必修課，開(kāi)始旁聽(tīng)一些看上去有意思的課。我既不知道自己這一生想干什么，也不知道大學(xué)是否能夠幫我弄明白自己想干什么。不過(guò)，沒(méi)過(guò)幾個(gè)月她就心軟了，因?yàn)槲业酿B(yǎng)父母許諾日后一定送我上大學(xué)。她非常希望收養(yǎng)我的是有大學(xué)學(xué)歷的人，所以把一切都安排好了，我一出生就交給一對(duì)律師夫婦收養(yǎng)。第一個(gè)故事講的是點(diǎn)與點(diǎn)之間的關(guān)系。尤其The Whole Earth Catalog提到的話，作為雜志，這是一種精神，一種氣質(zhì)?！边@是他們停止了發(fā)刊的告別語(yǔ)。有點(diǎn)像用軟皮包裝的Google, 在Google出現(xiàn)三十五年之前：這是理想主義的，其中有許多靈巧的工具和偉大的想法。還有最重要的是, 你要有勇氣去聽(tīng)從你直覺(jué)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。我很抱歉這很戲劇性, 但是這十分的真實(shí)。也應(yīng)該如此。那是我最接近死亡的時(shí)候, 我希望這也是以后的幾十年最接近的一次。那意味著你將要把未來(lái)十年對(duì)你小孩說(shuō)的話在幾個(gè)月里面說(shuō)完.；那意味著把每件事情都安排好, 讓你的家人會(huì)盡可能輕松的生活；那意味著你要說(shuō)“再見(jiàn)了”。我在早晨七點(diǎn)半做了一個(gè)檢查, 檢查清楚的顯示在我的胰腺有一個(gè)腫瘤。我看到的是留下的真正重要的東西。從那時(shí)開(kāi)始,過(guò)了33 年，我在每天早晨都會(huì)對(duì)著鏡子問(wèn)自己:“如果今天是我生命中的最后一天, 你會(huì)不會(huì)完成你今天想做的事情呢？”當(dāng)答案連續(xù)多天是“No”的時(shí)候, 我知道自己需要改變某些事情了。就像任何真誠(chéng)的關(guān)系，隨著歲月的流逝只會(huì)越來(lái)越緊密。對(duì)于工作是如此，對(duì)于你的愛(ài)人也是如此。有些時(shí)候, 生活會(huì)拿起一塊磚頭向你的腦袋上猛拍一下。我們?cè)贜eXT發(fā)展的技術(shù)在Apple的今天的復(fù)興之中發(fā)揮了關(guān)鍵的作用。這讓我覺(jué)得如此自由, 進(jìn)入了我生命中最有創(chuàng)造力的一個(gè)階段。我被驅(qū)逐了，但是我仍然鐘愛(ài)我所做的事情。我和創(chuàng)辦惠普的David Pack、創(chuàng)辦Intel的Bob Noyce見(jiàn)面，并試圖向他們道歉。在這么多人目光下我被炒了。你怎么可能被你自己創(chuàng)立的公司炒了魷魚(yú)呢? 嗯,在蘋(píng)果快速成長(zhǎng)的時(shí)候，我們雇用了一個(gè)很有天分的家伙和我一起管理這個(gè)公司, 在最初的幾年,公司運(yùn)轉(zhuǎn)的很好。我們工作得很努力, 十年之后, 這個(gè)公司從那兩個(gè)車(chē)庫(kù)中的窮小子發(fā)展到了超過(guò)四千名的雇員、價(jià)值超過(guò)二十億的大公司。你必須要相信某些東西：你的勇氣、目的、生命、因緣......這個(gè)過(guò)程從來(lái)沒(méi)有令我失望,只是讓我的生命更加地與眾不同。因 為Windows只是照抄了Mac，所以現(xiàn)在個(gè)人電腦才能有現(xiàn)在這么美妙的字型。但是十年之后,當(dāng)我們?cè)谠O(shè)計(jì)第一臺(tái)Macintosh電腦的時(shí)候,就不是那樣了。因?yàn)槲彝藢W(xué)了, 不必去上正規(guī)的課程, 所以我決定去參加這個(gè)課程，去學(xué)學(xué)怎樣寫(xiě)出漂亮的美術(shù)字。我失去了我的宿舍,所以我只能在朋友房間的地板上面睡覺(jué),我去撿可以換5美分的可樂(lè)罐，僅僅為了填飽肚子, 在星期天的晚上,我需要走七英里的路程，穿過(guò)這個(gè)城市到Hare Krishna神廟(注：位于紐約Brooklyn下城),只是為了能吃上好飯——這個(gè)星期唯一一頓好一點(diǎn)的飯，我喜歡那里的飯菜。不能否認(rèn)，我當(dāng)時(shí)確實(shí)非常的害怕，但是現(xiàn)在回頭看看，那的確是我這一生中最棒的一個(gè)決定。在六個(gè)月后, 我已經(jīng)看不到其中的價(jià)值所在。她拒絕簽這個(gè)收養(yǎng)合同。我的親生母親是一個(gè)年輕的，沒(méi)有結(jié)婚的大學(xué)畢業(yè)生。不是什么大不了的事情,只是三個(gè)故事而已。s, before personal puters and desktop publishing, so i
