biological mother found out later 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 go to ，但是在十八個(gè)月之后我真正退學(xué)之前，我還常去學(xué)校。我的生母是一個(gè)年輕、未婚的大學(xué)畢業(yè)生，她決定讓別人收養(yǎng)我。于是，一對(duì)律師夫婦說好了要領(lǐng)養(yǎng)我，然而最后一秒鐘，他們改變了主意，決定要個(gè)女孩兒。她拒絕在領(lǐng)養(yǎng)書上簽字。This was the start in my seventeen years later, I did go to college, but 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 of how college was going to help me figure it out, and here I was, spending all the money my parents had saved their entire I decided to drop out and trust that it would

didn39。十七年后，我上大學(xué)了，但是我很無(wú)知地選了一所差不多和斯坦福一樣貴的學(xué)校，幾乎花掉我那藍(lán)領(lǐng)階層養(yǎng)父母一生的積蓄。我看不出自己以后要做什么，也不曉得大學(xué)會(huì)怎樣幫我指點(diǎn)迷津，而我卻在花銷父母一生的積蓄。一開始非常嚇人，但回憶起來(lái)，這卻是我一生中作的最好的決定之一。It wasn39。t have a dorm room, so I slept on the floor in friends39。我沒有宿舍可住，睡在朋友房間的地上。我喜歡這種生活方式。讓我來(lái)給你們舉個(gè)例子吧。t have to take the normal classes, I decided to take a calligraphy class to learn how to do learned about serif and sansserif typefaces, about varying the amount of space between different letter binations, about what makes great typography was beautiful, historical, artistically subtle in a way that science can39。校園中每一張海報(bào)，抽屜上的每一張標(biāo)簽，都是漂亮的手寫體。在這門課上，我學(xué)會(huì)了“serif”和“sansserif”兩種字體、學(xué)會(huì)了怎樣在不同的字母組合中改變字間距、學(xué)會(huì)了怎樣寫出好的字來(lái)。None of this had even a hope of any practical application in my ten years later when we were designing the first Macintosh puter, it all came back to me, and we designed it all into the was the first puter with beautiful I had never dropped in on that single course in college, the Mac would have never had multiple typefaces or proportionally spaced fonts, and since Windows just copied the Mac,

impossible to connect the dots looking forward when I was in college, but it was very, very clear looking backwards 10 years , you can39。十年之后再回頭看，兩者之間關(guān)系就非常、非常清楚了。所以你必須相信，那些點(diǎn)點(diǎn)滴滴，會(huì)在你未來(lái)的生命里，以某種方式串聯(lián)起來(lái)。My second story is about love and was found what I loved to do early in and I started Apple in
