【正文】 會發(fā)生。我們在NeXT發(fā)展的技術(shù)是蘋果目前復(fù)興的核心。在經(jīng)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(guān)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(lián)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(shè)計第一臺Macintosh電腦時，這一切就又重現(xiàn)了。我發(fā)現(xiàn)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HareKrishna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(lǐng)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(jīng)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。史蒂夫喬布斯斯坦福大學畢業(yè)典禮上演講一定要找到你熱愛的我很榮幸能在今天與你們一起參加一個世界上最優(yōu)秀的大學的畢業(yè)典禮。史蒂芬喬布斯在斯坦福大學的演講中就為學生們談到自己的創(chuàng)業(yè)歷程以及自己成功的一些感觸。‖ －－同樣地，如果還在學校的話，似乎不應(yīng)該去模仿退學的牛人們。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

然后和一個后來成為我妻子的優(yōu)雅女人相識。這讓我覺得如此自由, 進入了我生命中最有創(chuàng)造力的一個階段。t see it then, but it turned out that getting fired from Apple was the best thing that could have ever happened to heaviness of being

從蘋果公司被炒是我這輩子發(fā)生的最棒的事情。所以我決定從頭再來。蘋果公司發(fā)生的這些事情絲毫的沒有改變這些, 一點也沒有。我把事情弄得糟糕透頂了。我把從前的創(chuàng)業(yè)激情給丟了, 我覺得自己讓與我一同創(chuàng)業(yè)的人都很沮喪。t connect the dots looking forward。當然我在大學的時候，還不可能把從前的點點滴滴串連起來,但是當我十年后回顧這一切的時候,真的豁然開朗了。如果我當時沒有退學, 就不會有機會去參加這個我感興趣的美術(shù)字課程, Mac就不會有這么多豐富的字體，以及賞心悅目的字體間距。我把當時我學的那些家伙全都設(shè)計進了Mac。None of this had even a hope of any practical

was in it was very, very clear looking backwards ten years ，好像都沒有什么實際應(yīng)用的可能。我學到了san serif 和serif字體, 我學會了怎么樣在不同的字母組合之中改變空格的長度, 還有怎么樣才能作出最棒的印刷式樣。在這個大學里面的每個海報, 每個抽屜的標簽上面全都是漂亮的美術(shù)字。t have to take

在星期天的晚上,我需要走七英里的路程，穿過這個城市到Hare Krishna寺廟（注：位于紐約Brooklyn下城）,只是為了能吃上飯——這個星期唯一一頓好一點的飯。 rooms, I returned coke bottles for the 5162。t all didn39。然后我還可以去修那些看起來有點意思的課程。不能否認,我當時確實非常的害怕,
