Jobs于2005年6月12號(hào)在斯坦福大學(xué)的畢業(yè)典禮上面的演講稿。很榮幸能和你們，來(lái)自世界最好大學(xué)之一的畢業(yè)生們，一塊兒參加畢業(yè)典禮。今天，我想告訴大家來(lái)自我生活的三個(gè)故事。第一個(gè)故事，如何串連生命中的點(diǎn)滴。為何我要選擇退學(xué)呢？這還得從我出生之前說(shuō)起。她有一個(gè)很強(qiáng)烈的信仰，認(rèn)為我應(yīng)該被一個(gè)大學(xué)畢業(yè)生家庭收養(yǎng)。然后我的排在收養(yǎng)人名單中的養(yǎng)父母在一個(gè)深夜接到電話，“很意外，我們多了一個(gè)男嬰，你們要嗎？”“當(dāng)然要！”但 是我的生母后來(lái)又發(fā)現(xiàn)我的養(yǎng)母沒(méi)有大學(xué)畢業(yè)，養(yǎng)父連高中都沒(méi)有畢業(yè)。幾個(gè)月后，我的養(yǎng)父母保證會(huì)讓我上大學(xué)，她妥協(xié)了。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。事情并不那么美好。為了吃飯，我收集五分一個(gè)的舊可樂(lè)瓶，每個(gè)星期天晚上步行七英里到哈爾克里什納廟里改善一下一周的伙食。能夠遵循自己的好奇和直覺(jué)前行后來(lái)被證明是多么的珍貴。當(dāng) 時(shí)的里得大學(xué)提供可能是全國(guó)最好的書法指導(dǎo)。由于我已退學(xué)，不用修那些必修課，我決定選一門書 法課上上。這是一種科學(xué)無(wú)法捕捉的微妙，楚楚動(dòng)人、充滿歷史底蘊(yùn)和藝術(shù)性，我覺(jué)得自己被完全吸引了。但是，十年之后，我們?cè)谠O(shè)計(jì)第一臺(tái) Macintosh 計(jì)算機(jī)時(shí)，它一下子浮現(xiàn)在我眼前。這是第一臺(tái)有這么漂亮的文字版式的計(jì)算機(jī)。要不是 Windows 照搬了 Macintosh，個(gè)人電腦可能不會(huì)有這些字體和字號(hào)。當(dāng) 然，我在大學(xué)里不可能從這一點(diǎn)上看到它與將來(lái)的關(guān)系。你們同樣不可能從現(xiàn)在這個(gè)點(diǎn)上看到將來(lái)；只有回 頭看時(shí)，才會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)它們之間的關(guān)系。你必須相信一些東西你的勇氣、宿命、生 活、因緣，隨便什么因?yàn)橄嘈胚@些點(diǎn)滴能夠一路連接會(huì)給你帶來(lái)循從本覺(jué)的自信，它使你走離平凡，變得與眾不同。我 很幸運(yùn)。我二十歲的時(shí)候就和沃茨在父母的車庫(kù)里開創(chuàng)了蘋果公司。我們只是推出了最好的創(chuàng)意，Macintosh操作系統(tǒng)，在這之前的一年，也就是我剛過(guò)三十歲，我被解雇了。一年后，我們對(duì)公司未來(lái)的看法產(chǎn)生分歧，董事會(huì)站 在了他的一邊。我整個(gè)成年生活的焦點(diǎn)沒(méi)了，這很要命。我覺(jué)得我 讓公司的前一代創(chuàng)建者們失望了，我把傳給我的權(quán)杖給弄丟了。我敗得如此之慘以至于我 想要逃離這兒。這次失敗一點(diǎn)兒都沒(méi)有改變這一點(diǎn)。我決定重新開始。成功的重?fù)?dān)被重新起步的輕松替代，對(duì)任何事情都不再特別看重。接下來(lái)的五年，我創(chuàng)立了一個(gè)叫NeXT的公司，接著又建立了Pixar，然后與后來(lái)成為我妻子的女人相愛(ài)。在一系列的成功運(yùn)轉(zhuǎn)后，蘋果收購(gòu)了NeXT，我又回到了蘋果。我 非常確信，如果我沒(méi)有被蘋果炒掉，這些就都不會(huì)發(fā)生。有些時(shí)候，生活會(huì)給你迎頭一棒。我確信唯一 讓我一路走下來(lái)的是我對(duì)自己所做事情的熱愛(ài)。工作會(huì)占據(jù)你生命中很大的一部分，你只有相信自 己做的是偉大的工作，你才能怡然自得。全心全意地找，當(dāng)你找到時(shí)，你會(huì)知道的。所以繼續(xù)找，不要停。我 十七歲的時(shí)候讀到過(guò)一句話“如果你把每一天都當(dāng)作最后一天過(guò)，有一天你會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)你是正確的”。從那以后，過(guò)去的三十三年，每天 早上我都會(huì)對(duì)著鏡子問(wèn)自己：“如果今天是我的最后一天，我會(huì)不會(huì)做我想做的事情呢？”當(dāng)答案持續(xù)否定一些次數(shù)后，我知道我需要改變一些東西了。因?yàn)閹缀跞魏问隆械臉s耀、驕傲、對(duì)難堪和失敗的恐懼——在死亡面前都會(huì)消隱，留下真正重要的 東西。你已經(jīng)赤裸裸了，沒(méi)有理由不聽(tīng)從于自己的心愿。我早上七點(diǎn)半作了掃描，清楚地顯示在我的胰腺有一個(gè)腫瘤。醫(yī)生們告訴我這幾乎是無(wú)法治愈 的，還有三到六個(gè)月的時(shí)間。在醫(yī)生的辭典中，這就是“準(zhǔn)備死亡”的意思。我 整日都想著那診斷書的事情。我當(dāng)時(shí)是被麻醉的，但是我的妻子告訴我，那些醫(yī)生在顯微鏡下看到細(xì)胞的時(shí)候開始尖叫，因?yàn)榘l(fā)現(xiàn)這竟然是一種非常罕見(jiàn)的可用手術(shù)治愈的胰腺癌癥。這 是我最接近死亡的時(shí)候，我也希望是我未來(lái)幾十年里最接近死亡的一次。但是死亡是每個(gè)人共同的終點(diǎn)，沒(méi)有人能夠逃脫。它去陳讓新。但是有一天，不用太久，你們有會(huì)慢慢變老然后死去。你們的時(shí)間是有限 的，不要浪費(fèi)在重復(fù)別人的生活上。不要被其他人的喧囂觀點(diǎn)掩蓋自己內(nèi)心真正的聲音。所有其他東西都是次要的。它是一個(gè)叫斯糾華特布蘭得，住在離這不遠(yuǎn)的曼羅公園的家伙創(chuàng)立的。那是六十年代后期，個(gè)人電腦出現(xiàn)之前，所以這份雜志全是用打字機(jī)、剪刀和偏光鏡制作的。它理想主義，全文充斥著靈巧的工具和偉大的想法。那是七十年代中期，我和你們差不多大。下面有一句話，“求知若渴，虛心若谷”。我常以此勉勵(lì)自己。求知若渴，虛心若谷。This is the text of the Commencement address by Steve Jobs, CEO of Apple Computer and of Pixar Animation Studios, delivered on June 12, 39。ve ever gotten to a college I want to tell you three stories from
