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。This is the text of the Commencement address by Steve Jobs, CEO of Apple Computer and of Pixar Animation Studios, delivered on June 12, am honored to be with you today at your mencement from one of the finest universities in the never graduated from be told, this is the closest I39。ve got to find what you love,39。固執(zhí)愚見?，F在，當你們畢業(yè)，有新的開始，我同樣勉勵你們。固執(zhí)愚見。”(“Stay Foolish.”)這是他們的告別語。在照片下面有一句話“保持渴望。在刊物封底，是一幅清晨鄉(xiāng)間路的照片。他們最終完成了自己的使命，出了最后一期刊物，時間是70年代中期。這好像是紙上的Google,但在Google出現前35年：它是理想主義的，充滿了簡潔的工具與偉大的想法。當時是60年代末，還沒有個人電腦和桌面出版系統(tǒng)。當我年輕的時候，有一本優(yōu)秀的刊物叫The Whole Earth Catalog, 是我們那一代的圣經之一。你的內心和直覺早已洞察了你真正想做的。不要讓他人意見的噪音蓋過你自己內心的聲音。所以不要浪費你自己的時間去過別人的生活。原諒我這種非常直白的說法，但是，這是事實。現在，你們就是新的。它是生命改變的媒介。死亡就是這樣。但是，死亡是我們共同的目的地。沒人希望死。我希望這也是我今后幾十年內最近的一次。我做了手術，現在我已經沒事了。她告訴我，當他們在顯微鏡下看過之后，醫(yī)生們喊叫起來。我被麻醉了。晚上，我做了活組織檢測。也就是你的告別。也就是在幾個月的時間里對你的孩子說所有的事情，那些你曾經認為你會有下一個10年的時間去說的一切。我應該不會活過3到6個月。我都不知道胰臟是什么。早晨7點半我做了掃描。你沒有任何原因不去追隨你的內心。記住你會死去，這是我所知的避免陷入患得患失的陷阱的最好的方式。記住很快我將離開人世，這是幫助我做重大決定的最重要的工具。在我17歲的時候，我讀到一段話，大概是“如果你按照生活的每一天都好象是你生命的最后一天那樣活著，總有一天你會確信你的方向是對的。不要妥協(xié)。就象任何美滿的伴侶關系，隨著時間的推移，事情會變得更美好。不要妥協(xié)。而做偉大的事業(yè)的唯一途徑就是熱愛你所作的一切。這對你的事業(yè)是這樣，對你的愛人也是如此。我深信當時唯一讓我支持下去的原因就是我熱愛我所作的一切。有時候，生活象用板兒磚拍頭一樣打擊你。我相當確信，如果我沒被蘋果解雇，這一切之中的任何事情都不會發(fā)生。我們在NeXT 發(fā)展的技術是蘋果目前復興的核心。在經歷了種種起伏后蘋果買下了NeXT。Pixar創(chuàng)造了世界上第一部電腦動畫電影，玩具總動員。這一切解放了我，讓我進入了一生中最有創(chuàng)造性的一段時間。在那時我并沒有認識到，但是實際上，被蘋果解雇是對我來說最好的事情。我被拒絕了，但是，我仍舊愛著。但是慢慢的我才開始意識到 — 我仍舊熱愛我所作的事情。我是一個眾所周知的失敗。我覺得我辜負了把接力棒傳遞給我的上一代的創(chuàng)業(yè)者。我成年以來整個生活的中心沒有了，這是毀滅性的。當我們鬧翻的時候，董事會站在了他的一邊。但是，隨后我們對未來的想法就開始有了分歧。你怎么能被你自己創(chuàng)立的公司解雇呢？哎，當蘋果公司逐漸發(fā)展，我們雇了一個我認為非常有才華的人來和我一起運作公司。當時我剛剛滿30歲，就在一年前，我們發(fā)布了我們最杰出的創(chuàng)造— Macintosh。我們非常努力。我很幸運，在生命中的最初階段就找到了自己熱愛做的事情。它對我的生活至關重要。你一定要相信一些事情— 你的直覺、命運、生命、因緣，無論是什么。你只能回過頭來再把它們聯系起來。但是，當10年后再回頭看，這一切非常，非常清楚。如果我沒有輟學，我就不會選那個書法課程，個人電腦就有可能沒有今天這樣優(yōu)美的字體。如果我沒有在學校學書法課程，Mac就不可能有多種字體或者按適當比例間隔的字體。但是，10年后，當我們設計第一臺Macintosh電腦時，這一切就又重現了。我發(fā)現這一切令人著迷。我學會了serif和sanserif字體，學會了改變不同字母組合間的間隔，知道了是什么使字體變得優(yōu)美。在校園里，每一個海報，每一個抽屜上的標簽都是優(yōu)美的手寫字。我憑著好奇心與直覺所遇到的一切，很大一部分在后來被證明是無比珍貴的。我會在每星期天晚上步行7英里穿過城市到Hare Krishna寺廟去好好吃一頓。我沒有宿舍，所以我睡在了朋友房間的地板上。在我輟學的那一刻，我可以不再去上我不感興趣的課程，而去上那些看起來有趣的課程。在當時，這個決定是非常令人害怕的。而且我在這里花費著我父母一生所有的積蓄。我不知道我的一生想要做什么。我工薪階層的父母的所有積蓄都花在了我的學費上。17年后，我確實上大學了。她拒絕在最終的領養(yǎng)文件上簽字。你們想要他嗎？”他們回答說：“當然。所以，我的養(yǎng)父母，本來是在等候的名單上的。所以，一切本來都已經安排好了，我將會被一個律師和他的妻子收養(yǎng)。她決定把我送給別人收養(yǎng)。我為什么輟學呢？這一切在我出生前就開始了。在過了最初的六個月后，我便從Reed學院輟學了。只是三個故事。就是這樣。說實話，今天是我最離大學畢業(yè)最近的一次。s, before personal puters and desktop publishing, so it was all made with typewriters, scissors, and polaroid was sort of like Google in paperback form, 35 years before Google came along: it was idealistic, and overflowing with neat tools and great and his team put out several issues of The Whole Earth Catalog, and then when it had run its course, they put out a final was the mid1970s, and I was your the back
