rom here in Menlo Park, and he brought it to life with his poetic was in the late 1960’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 cover of their final issue was a photograph of an early morning country road, the kind you might find yourself hitchhiking on if you were so it were the words: “Stay Foolish.” It was their farewell message as they signed I have always wished that for now, as you graduate to begin anew, I wish that for you all very ,他每天必來到我們部門看昨天的成果,能聽到他罵人,我們并不生氣,因為我們知道他不允許產(chǎn)品上市后沒有銷路?!甕ou’ve got to find what you loveI 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 I’ve ever gotten to a college I want to tell you three stories from my ’s big three first story is about connecting the dropped out of Reed College after the first 6 months, but then stayed around as a dropin for another 18 months or so before I really why did I drop out? 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。求知若饑,虛心若愚。那是他們親筆寫下的告別訊息,我總是以此自許。在停刊號的封底,有張早晨鄉(xiāng)間小路的照片,那種你去爬山時會經(jīng)過的鄉(xiāng)間小路。Stewart跟他的出版團隊出了好幾期Whole Earth Catalog,然后出了???。那是1960年代末期,個人計算機跟桌上出版還沒發(fā)明,所有內(nèi)容都是打字機、剪刀跟拍立得相機做出來的。在我年輕時,有本神奇的雜志叫做Whole Earth Catalog,當(dāng)年我們很迷這本雜志。最重要的,擁有跟隨內(nèi)心與直覺的勇氣,你的內(nèi)心與直覺多少已經(jīng)知道你真正想要成為什么樣的人。不要被信條所惑-盲從信條就是活在別人思考結(jié)果里。抱歉講得這么戲劇化,但是這是真的。這是注定的,因為死亡簡直就是生命中最棒的發(fā)明,是生命變化的媒介,送走老人們,給新生代留下空間。即使那些想上天堂的人,也想活著上天堂。這是我最接近死亡的時候,我希望那會繼續(xù)是未來幾十年內(nèi)最接近的一次。她后來跟我說,當(dāng)醫(yī)生們用顯微鏡看過那些細胞后,他們都哭了,因為那是非常少見的一種胰臟癌,可以用手術(shù)治好。我整天想著那個診斷結(jié)果,那天晚上做了一次切片,從喉嚨伸入一個內(nèi)視鏡,從胃進腸子,插了根針進胰臟,取了一些腫瘤細胞出來。那代表你得把每件事情搞定,家人才會盡量輕松。醫(yī)生建議我回家,好好跟親人們聚一聚,這是醫(yī)生對臨終病人的標(biāo)準建議。我在早上七點半作斷層掃描,在胰臟清楚出現(xiàn)一個腫瘤,我連胰臟是什么都不知道。人生不帶來,死不帶去,沒什么道理不順心而為。因為幾乎每件事-所有外界期望、所有名譽、所有對困窘或失敗的恐懼-在面對死亡時,都消失了,只有最重要的東西才會留下?!惯@對我影響深遠,在過去33年里,我每天早上都會照鏡子,自問:「如果今天是此生最后一日,我今天要干些什么?」每當(dāng)我連續(xù)太多天都得到一個「沒事做」的答案時,我就知道我必須有所變革了。我的第三個故事,關(guān)于死亡。而且,如同任何偉大的關(guān)系,事情只會隨著時間愈來愈好。如果你還沒找到這些事,繼續(xù)找,別停頓。你得找出你愛的,工作上是如此,對情人也是如此。不要喪失信心。這帖藥很苦口,可是我想蘋果計算機這個病人需要這帖藥。我也有了個美妙的家庭。Pixar接著制作了世界上第一部全計算機動畫電影,玩具總動員,現(xiàn)在是世界上最成功的動畫制作公司。成功的沉重被從頭來過的輕松所取代,每件事情都不那么確定,讓我自由進入這輩子最有創(chuàng)意的年代。我被否定了,可是我還是愛做那些事情,所以我決定從頭來過。我成了公眾的非常負面示范,我甚至想要離開硅谷。我覺得我令企業(yè)界的前輩們失望-我把他們交給我的接力棒弄丟了。曾經(jīng)是我整個成年生活重心的東西不見了,令我不知所措。要怎么讓自己創(chuàng)辦的公司炒自己魷魚?好吧,當(dāng)蘋果計算機成長后,我請了一個我以為他在經(jīng)營公司上很有才干的家伙來,他在頭幾年也確實干得不錯。我二十歲時,跟Steve Wozniak在我爸媽的車庫里開始了蘋果計算機的事業(yè)。我的第二個故事,有關(guān)愛與失去。你得信任某個東西,直覺也好,命運也好,生命也好,或者業(yè)力。我再說一次,你不能預(yù)先把點點滴滴串在一起;唯有未來回顧時,你才會明白那些點點滴滴是如何串在一起的。又因為Windows抄襲了麥金塔的使用方式,如果當(dāng)年我沒這樣做,大概世界上所有的個人計算機都不會有這些東西,印不出現(xiàn)在我們看到的漂亮的字來了。我沒預(yù)期過學(xué)的這些東西能在我生活中起些什么實際作用,不過十年后,當(dāng)我在設(shè)計第一臺麥金塔時,我想起了當(dāng)時所學(xué)的東西,所以把這些東西都設(shè)計進了麥金塔里,這是第一臺能印刷出漂亮東西的計算機。我學(xué)了serif與san serif字體,學(xué)到在不同字母組合間變更字間距,學(xué)到活版印刷偉大的地方。在整個校園內(nèi)的每一張海報上,每個抽屜的標(biāo)簽上,都是美麗的手寫字。追尋我的好奇與直覺,我所駐足的大部分事物,后來看來都成了無價之寶。我沒有宿舍,所以我睡在友人家里的地板上,靠著回收可樂空罐的五先令退費買吃的,每個星期天晚上得走七里的路繞過大半個鎮(zhèn)去印度教的 Hare Krishna神廟吃頓好料。當(dāng)我休學(xué)之后,我再也不用上我沒興趣的必修課,把時間拿去聽那些我有興趣的課。那時候,我不知道這輩子要干什么,也不知道念大學(xué)能對我有什么幫助,而且我為了念這個書,花光了我父母這輩子的所有積蓄,所以我決定休學(xué),相信船到橋頭自然直。但是當(dāng)時我無知選了一所學(xué)費幾乎跟史丹佛一樣貴的大學(xué),我那工人階級的父母所有積蓄都花在我的學(xué)費上。直到幾個月后,我的養(yǎng)父母同意將來一定會讓我上大學(xué),她才軟化態(tài)度。后來,我的生母發(fā)現(xiàn),我現(xiàn)在的媽媽從來沒有大學(xué)畢業(yè),我現(xiàn)在的爸爸則連高中畢業(yè)也沒有。但是這對夫妻到了最后一刻反悔了,他們想收養(yǎng)女孩。我的親生母親當(dāng)時是個研究生,年輕未婚媽媽,她決定讓別人收養(yǎng)我。到我退學(xué)前,一共休學(xué)了十八個月。第一個故事,是關(guān)于人生中的點點滴滴怎么串連在一起。說實話,這是我離大學(xué)畢業(yè)最近的一刻。今天,有榮幸來到各位從世界上最好的學(xué)校之一畢業(yè)的畢業(yè)典禮上。Joseph Epstein, a famous American writer, once said, “We decide what is important and what is trivial不重要的,瑣碎的 in decide(so)that what makes us significant is either what we do or what we refuse to no matter how different the universe may be to our choices and decisions, these choices and decisions are ours to as we decide and choose, so are our lives the end, forming our own destiny命運 is what ambition is about.” Do you agree or disagree with him? Write an essay of about 300350 words entitled:第二篇:喬布斯斯坦福大學(xué)演講于喬布斯,在2005年斯坦福大學(xué)的演講就是他最好的自傳。“保持饑餓,保持愚蠢。在最后一期的封底上是清晨鄉(xiāng)村公路的照片(如果你有冒險精神的話,你可以自己找到這條路的),在照片之下有這樣一段話:“保持饑餓,保持愚蠢。Stewart 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 cover of their final issue was a photograph of an early morning country road, the kind you might find yourself hitchhiking on if you were so it were the words: “Stay Foolish.” It was their farewell message as they signed I have always wished that for now, as you graduate to begin anew, I wish that for “整個地球的目錄”,當(dāng)它完成了自己使命的時候, 他們做出了最后一期的目錄。不要被其他人喧囂的觀點掩蓋你真正的內(nèi)心的聲音。s opinions drown out your own inner most important, have the courage to follow your heart and somehow already know what you truly want to else is , 所以不要將他們浪費在重復(fù)其他人的生活上。s 39。s 39。所以繼續(xù)找,直到你找到它,不要停下來!Your time is limited, so don39。如果你現(xiàn)在還沒有找到, 那么繼續(xù)找、不要停下來、全心全意的去找, 當(dāng)你找到的時候你就會知道的。你的工作將會占據(jù)生活中很大的一部分。你需要去找到你所愛的東西。不要失去信心。這個良藥的味道實在是太苦了,但是我想病人需要這個藥。ll know when you find , like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll keep looking until you find 39。t found it yet, keep 39。m convinced that the only thing that kept me going was that I loved what I 39。t been fired from was awful tasting medicine, but I guess the patient needed life hits you in the head with a 39。第一篇:喬布斯斯坦福大學(xué)演講背誦:I39。m pretty sure none of this would have happened if I hadn39。t lose 39。ve got to find what you that is as true for your work as it is for your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe
