我決定去上書法課,為了能寫出同樣漂亮的字。這一切令我著迷,非常美好。然而,10年后,當(dāng)我們?cè)O(shè)計(jì)第一款蘋果電腦時(shí),它的意義便凸顯出來。如果我當(dāng)時(shí)沒有自修書法課,蘋果電腦不會(huì)為使用者提供了多種字體和字號(hào)的選擇。當(dāng)然,在我上大學(xué)時(shí),無法看到這么遠(yuǎn)的未來。因此,我們無法預(yù)知未來,只有當(dāng)我們回望時(shí),才可能串連起人生發(fā)展的軌跡。你必須要相信某樣?xùn)|西:你的勇氣、你的生命、你的宿命。這樣,你的生命才會(huì)有所不同。我很幸運(yùn)。我20歲時(shí)在父母的車庫開始研究Mac電腦。我們一年后推出Macintosh的時(shí)候,我才剛滿30歲。我怎么會(huì)被自己創(chuàng)辦的公司解雇呢?隨著公司業(yè)務(wù)的發(fā)展,我雇傭了一個(gè)我當(dāng)時(shí)認(rèn)為非常有才干的職業(yè)經(jīng)理人。之后,我們對(duì)公司的發(fā)展愿景產(chǎn)生了分歧。隨后,公司董事長(zhǎng)和他商量決定將我趕走。頃刻間,我生命的軌跡被切斷。頭幾個(gè)月,我無所事事。我甚至找到David和Bob,為自己過去和他們很兇地發(fā)脾氣而道歉。我甚至想到過跳崖。我依然熱愛我所做的事。雖然我被拒絕了,然而我的心中依然有愛。我那時(shí)還看不出,但后來被證明,被蘋果解雇是我生命中所發(fā)生過的最好的一件事:從零開始的創(chuàng)業(yè)者的輕松代替了事業(yè)成功的愉悅。那段時(shí)間是我生命中最富創(chuàng)造力的階段。我還遇到了我生命中最重要的女人并和她結(jié)婚。我又得以再次回歸蘋果公司。我和妻子也有了一個(gè)幸福的家庭。我相信:良藥苦口,但利于病。但不要失去信念。你必須要找到你的所愛,工作如此,人生伴侶的選擇亦如此。工作出色的前提條件是你熱愛你的工作。你的心會(huì)知道你是否已經(jīng)找到你的所愛。我要講的第三個(gè)故事有關(guān)死亡。” 我對(duì)這句話印象深刻。牢記“人終有一死”是我所獲得的最重要的工具,它幫助我作出人生的選擇?!爸蛔鲋匾氖隆?,“人終有一死”,牢記這些是我所知曉的避免讓自己陷入患得患失的最重要的方法。大約一年前,我被診斷患癌癥。儀器上清晰地顯示我的胰腺部位有腫瘤。醫(yī)生說:“我們幾乎可以確定這是一種無法治愈的腫瘤?!贬t(yī)生建議我回家,將自己的事情料理好。這意味著我原以為自己有10年的時(shí)間來教導(dǎo)我的孩子,而現(xiàn)在我只有幾個(gè)月的時(shí)間了。這還意味著我要和所有人說再見。到了晚上,醫(yī)生為我做活檢。然后對(duì)我的胰腺部位進(jìn)行針刺,從腫瘤上取下一些癌細(xì)胞。但是我的妻子陪伴在我身邊。因?yàn)?,我患的是一種極其罕見的胰腺癌,可以通過手術(shù)治愈。這是我與死亡最近距離的一次接觸。經(jīng)歷了這一切,我今天才能以更加確定的口吻和你們暢談我的人生觀。沒有人想死。誠(chéng)然,死亡是我們所有人共有的終點(diǎn),沒人逃的掉。而事實(shí)上也只能是這樣。現(xiàn)在,你們屬于“新”。很抱歉我使用了非常戲劇性的說法,但是這再真實(shí)不過了。因此,不要浪費(fèi)你們的時(shí)間去過別人的生活。不要讓別人嘈雜的觀點(diǎn)淹沒你內(nèi)心的聲音。你的內(nèi)心其實(shí)非常清楚你想成為什么樣的人。我年輕的時(shí)候,有一本妙不可言的雜志,叫作《地球全錄》,是我們那一代人的圣經(jīng)。這本雜志讓生活充滿詩意。因此雜志的編輯工作全仰仗打字機(jī)、剪刀和立拍得。這本雜志的觀點(diǎn)極具理想主義色彩,并提供了許多靈巧的工具和偉大的主張。然后到了70年代中期,我的時(shí)代到來。照片下方有一行字:“永保求知的欲望,永保率真的愚氣”。我總是希望自己保持這樣的狀態(tài)。第四篇:?jiǎn)滩妓寡葜v(本站推薦)When I was 17, I read a quote that went something like: “If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you39?!@句話給我留下了深刻的印象。Remembering that I39。ve ever encountered to help me make the big choices

有一本叫做―整個(gè)地球的目錄‖振聾發(fā)聵的雜志,它是我們那一代人的圣經(jīng)之一。那是六十年代后期, 在個(gè)人電腦出現(xiàn)之前, 所以這本書全部是用打字機(jī),、剪刀還有偏光鏡制造的。Stewart and his team put out several issues of The Whole Earth Catalog, and then when it
