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，在最初的幾年風調雨順。我也快要到而立之年了。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。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

，你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。如果我沒有退學，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。如果我當時沒有退學，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。我把當時我學的那些東西全都融入到mac。none of this had even a hope of any practical application in my

和serif字體，我學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。學校里的每個海報，抽屜上的每個標簽，上面全都是漂亮的書法。在好奇和直覺的引導下，我跌跌撞撞地遇到很多東西，這些后來被證明是無價瑰寶。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。沒了宿舍，所以我要到朋友家睡地板。在我做出退學決定后，我再也不用去上那些我絲毫沒有興趣的必修課，我開始去聽那些看起來有趣的課程。所以，我決定退學，并且我相信車到山前必有路。我不知道(我生命中)要追求什么，我也不知道學校是否能幫我找到答案。但我天真地選擇了一個幾乎和斯坦福大學一樣貴的學校，我父母還處于工薪階層，為了交學費，他們幾乎耗光所有積蓄。但在幾個月以后，因為我的養(yǎng)父養(yǎng)母答應她一定要讓我上大學，她才心軟同意了。所以，我的養(yǎng)父養(yǎng)母(他們當時還在候選名單上)突然在半夜接到了一個電話：“我們有一個意外降生的男嬰，你們想收養(yǎng)他嗎?”他們回答說： “當然!” 但是我親生母親隨后發(fā)現(xiàn)，我的養(yǎng)母從未上過大學，我的養(yǎng)父高中沒畢業(yè)。所以在我出生前，她已經準備一切，讓一位律師和他的妻子收養(yǎng)。我的親生母親是一名年輕未婚的大學畢業(yè)生。我為什么要退學呢?it started before i was biological mother was a young, unwed
