我在Reed大學(xué)讀了六個月之后就退學(xué)了,但是在十八個月以后——我真正的作出退學(xué)決定之前,我還經(jīng)常去學(xué)校。do you want him?” They said: “Of course.” My biological mother later found out that my mother had never graduated from college and that my father had never graduated from high refused to sign the final adoption only relented a few months later when my parents promised that I would someday go to 。她決定讓別人收養(yǎng)我, 她十分想讓我被大學(xué)畢業(yè)生收養(yǎng)。但是她沒有料到,當(dāng)我出生之后,律師夫婦突然決定他們想要一個女孩。她拒絕簽這個收養(yǎng)合同。And 17 years later I did go to I naively chose a college that was almost as expensive as Stanford, and all of my workingclass parents39。t see the value in had no idea what I wanted to do with my life and no idea how college was going to help me figure it here I was spending all of the money my parents had saved their entire I decided to drop out and trust that it would all work out was pretty scary at the time, but looking back it was one of the best decisions I ever minute I dropped out I could stop taking the required classes that didn39。但是我很天真的選擇了一個幾乎和你們斯坦福大學(xué)一樣貴的學(xué)校, 我父母還處于藍(lán)領(lǐng)階層，他們幾乎把所有積蓄都花在了我的學(xué)費上面。我不知道我想要在生命中做什么,我也不知道大學(xué)能幫助我找到怎樣的答案。所以我決定要退學(xué),我覺得這是個正確的決定。在我做出退學(xué)決定的那一刻, 我終于可以不必去讀那些令我提不起絲毫興趣的課程了。It wasn39。t have a dorm room, so I slept on the floor in friends39。 deposits to buy food with, and I would walk the 7 miles across town every Sunday night to get one good meal a week at the Hare Krishna loved much of what I stumbled into by following my curiosity and intuition turned out to be priceless later me give you one example: 但是這并不是那么羅曼蒂克。但是我喜歡這樣。讓我給你們舉一個例子吧：Reed College at that time offered perhaps the best calligraphy instruction in the the campus every poster, every label on every drawer, was beautifully hand I had dropped out and didn39。t capture, and I found it 。因為我退學(xué)了, 沒有受到正規(guī)的訓(xùn)練, 所以我決定去參加這個課程，去學(xué)學(xué)怎樣寫出漂亮的美術(shù)字。那是一種科學(xué)永遠(yuǎn)不能捕捉到的、美麗的、真實的藝術(shù)精妙, 我發(fā)現(xiàn)那實在是太美妙了。但是十年之后,當(dāng)我們在設(shè)計第一臺Macintosh電腦的時候,就不是那樣了。那是第一臺使用了漂亮的印刷字體的電腦。因為微軟就是蘋果的山寨版，可以說世上所有PC都不會有現(xiàn)在這么美妙的字型了。Again, you can39。you can only connect them looking you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your have to trust in somethingthe Macintoshthat I had dropped the baton as it was being passed to met with David Packard and Bob Noyce and tried to apologize for screwing up so was a very public failure, and I even thought about running away from the something slowly began to dawn on me – I still loved what
