乔布斯励志演讲稿(优秀4篇)乔布斯励志演讲稿篇一So, three things: a widescreen iPod with touch controls; a revolutionary mobile phone; and a breakthrough Inter munications device. An iPod, a phone, and an Inter municator. An iPod, a phone … are you getting it? These are not three separate devices, this is one device, and we are calling it iPhone.Yes, I bet you must have got which entrepreneur I’m going to introduce today. He is the father of the iphone and a revolutionary of the electronics industry Steven Jobs who are born to put a dent in the universe.Steve Jobs was born in San Francisco, California, where he was adopted by his foster mother. In 1972, Jobs graduated from Homestead High School and enrolled in Reed College. Owing a deep- interest in technology, he took up a job as a leading manufacturer of video games. When Jobs was 19 years old, he dropped out from the university , and after that he always researched the puter with his friend Wozniak who had the same interest with him. In 1976, they founded Apple Computer in the Jobs family garage. The first puter was sold for $666 by the suess of their first puter, on the fool day in 1976, they signed a contract and decided to found a puter pany. At the beginning, everything went well .While the appearance of IBM’s personal puter attacked them a lot, Jobs had no choice but to leave the pany and founded the Next puter pany.In 1996, Jobs was famous for the suess of the puter animated film—Toy Story. At the same time, the Apple Company was faced with the bust-up risk. In 1997, Jobs returned as Apple CEO. He reformed the pany thoroughly and cooperate with Microsoft, Jobs became the cover person of Times again.In 1998, Apple launched iMac, which was the best -selling personal puter in America. In 1999, Apple launched iBook、G4 and iMac DV. And just as expected, all of them made a huge impact. In , the music industry forever changed with the iPod, iTunes followed. Billions of songs were downloaded. In, Jobs captures the world’s attention again with the iPhone. They made an app for everything. In , Jobs launched his latest creation— iPad , which was the fast-selling technological device ever. Jobs leads Apple create one and another miracle.But unfortunately in , Jobs was diagnosed with a malignant tumor in his pancreas. As a result, Jobs resigned as CEO of Apple on August 24, . On October 5, , Jobs passed away. Like Jobs many entrepreneurs have their own entrepreneurship they use their talents to find business opportunities which are not discovered by normal people. So now let me give you a brief conclusion about Jobs entrepreneurship.1. braveryThe capacity and willingness to develop, organize and manage a business venture along with any of its risks. There is no such a thing as a free lunch. There is a chance in front of you with some uncertain things together. If you want to be suessful, you should make a choice .To face the risks or to give up? Only when you take the challenge can you gain aess to suess.2. CreativityYou catch peoples’ eyes if you create something new .For example, iphone from generation to generation , which attract a lot of customers to buy their new product.3. cooperationOne tree does not make a forest. Teamwork can make a pany run in a stale pace, showinggreat power.4. devotionBeing devoted can help the pany bee more powerful. A pany with a warm and aspirant environment will work efficiently.5. passion for studyIf three of us are walking together, at least one of the other two is good enough to be my teacher. Being willing to learn from others can help bine the enterprise with many advantages. 6. IntegrityNo one wants to cooperate with the pany that won’t obey the contract. No one wants to buy the product from the without honesty.乔布斯励志演讲稿篇二Thank you. I'm honored to be with you today for your mencement from oneof the finest universities in the world. Truth be told, I never graduated from college and this is the closest I've ever gotten to a college graduation.Today I want to tell you three stories from my life. That's it. No big deal. Just three stories.The first story is about connecting the dots.I dropped out of Reed College after the first six months but then stayedaround as a drop-in for another 18 months or so before I really quit. So why did I drop out? It started before I was born. My biological mother was a young, unwed graduate student, and she decided to put me up for adoption. She felt verystrongly 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 wife, except that when Ipopped out, they decided at the last minute that they really wanted a girl. So my parents, who were on a waiting list, got a call in the middle of the night asking, "We've got an unexpected baby boy. Do you want him?" They said, "Of course."My biological mother found out later that my mother had never graduated fromcollege and that my father had never graduated from high school. She refused to sign the final adoption papers. She only relented a few months later when myparents promised that I would go to college.This was the start in my life. And 17 years later, I did go to college, but I naively chose a college that was almost as expensive as Stanford, and all of my working-class parents' savings were being spent on my college tuition. After six months, I couldn't see the value in it. I 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 life. So I decided to drop out and trust that it would all work out OK. It was pretty scary at the time, but looking back, it was one of the best decisions I ever made. The minute I dropped out, I could stop taking the required classes that didn't interest me and begin dropping in on the ones that looked far more interesting.It wasn't all romantic. I didn't have a dorm room, so I slept on the floor in friends' rooms. I returned Coke bottles for the five-cent deposits to buy food with, and I would walk the seven miles across town every Sunday night to get one good meal a week at the Hare Krishna temple. I loved it. And much of what I stumbled into by following my curiosity and intuition turned out to be priceless later on. Let me give you one example.Reed College at that time offered perhaps the best calligraphy instruction in the country. Throughout the campus every poster, every label on every drawer was beautifully hand-calligraphed. Because I had dropped out and didn't have to take the normal classes, I decided to take a calligraphy class to learn how to do this. I learned about serif and sans-serif typefaces, about varying the amount of space between different letter binations, about what makes great typography great. It was beautiful, historical, artistically subtle in a way that science can't capture, and I found it fascinating.None of this had even a hope of any practical application in my life. But ten years later when we were designing the first Macintosh puter, it all came back to me, and we designed it all into the Mac. It was the first puter with beautiful typography. If 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, it's likely that no personal puter would have them.If I had never dropped out, I would have never dropped in on that calligraphy class and personals puters might not have the wonderful typography that they do.Of course it was impossible to connect the dots looking forward when I was in college, but it was very, very clear looking backwards ten years later. Again, you can't connect the dots looking forward. You can only connect them looking backwards, so you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something--your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever--because believing that the dots will connect down the road will give you the confidence to follow your heart, even when it leads you off the well-worn path, and that will make all the difference.乔布斯励志演讲稿篇三My second story is about love and loss. I was lucky. I found what I loved to do early in life. Woz and I started Apple in my parents' garage when I was 20. We worked hard and in ten years, Apple had grown from just the two of us in a garage into a $2 billion pany with over 4,000 employees. We'd just released our finest creation, the Macintosh, a year earlier, and I'd just turned 30, and then I got fired. How can you get fired from a pany you started? Well, as Apple grew, we hired someone who I thought was very talented to run the pany with me, and for the first year or so, things went well. But then our visions of the future began to diverge, and eventually we had a falling out. When we did, our board of directors sided with him, and so at 30, I was out, and very publicly out. What had been the focus of my entire adult life was gone, and it was devastating. I really didn't know what to do for a few months. I felt that I had let the previous generation of entrepreneurs down, that I had dropped the baton as it was being passed to me. I met with David Packard and Bob Noyce and tried to apologize for screwing up so badly. I was a very public failure and I even thought about running away from the Valley. But something slowly began to dawn on me. I still loved what I did. The turn of events at Apple had not changed that one bit. I'd been rejected but I was still in love. And so I decided to start over. I didn't see it then, but it turned out that getting fired from Apple was the best thing that could have ever happened to me. The heaviness of being suessful was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner again, less sure about everything. It freed me to enter one of the most creative periods in my life. During the next five years I started a pany named NeXT, another pany named Pixar and fell in love with an amazing woman who would bee my wife. Pixar went on to create the world's first puter-animated feature film, "Toy Story," and is now the most suessfulanimation studio in the world.In a remarkable turn of events, Apple bought NeXT and I returned to Apple and the technology we developed at NeXT is at the heart of Apple's current renaissance, and Lorene and I have a wonderful family together.I'm pretty sure none of this would have happened if I hadn't been fired from Apple. It was awful-tasting medicine but I guess the patient needed it. Sometimes life's going to hit you in the head with a brick. Don't lose faith. I'm convinced that the only thing that kept me going was that I loved what I did. You've got to find what you love, and that is as true for work as it is for your lovers. 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 is great work, and the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking, and don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it, and like any great relationship it just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking. Don't settle.My third story is about death. When I was 17 I read a quote that went something like "If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you'll most certainly be right." It made an impression on me, and since then, for the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself, "If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?" And whenever the answer has been "no" for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something. Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important thing I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life, because almost everything--all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure--these things just fall away in the乔布斯励志演讲稿篇四Thank you.I'm honored to be with you today for your mencement from one of the finest universities in the world. Truth be told, I never graduated from college, and this is the closest I've ever gotten to a college graduation. Today, I want totell you three stories from my life. That's it. No big deal.

乔布斯演讲稿英文回答:Hello everyone, I'm Steve Jobs. I'm here today to talkto you about the future of Apple.We're on the cusp of a new era, an era in which technology will play an even more important role in our lives. Already, we can see the ways in which technology is changing the way we work, the way we learn, and the way we communicate.But I believe that we're only scratching the surface of what's possible. In the coming years, we'll see even more amazing things from Apple. We'll see new products that will change the way we think about technology. We'll see new services that will make our lives easier and more enjoyable. And we'll see new ways to use technology to make the worlda better place.I'm incredibly excited about the future of Apple. I believe that we have the potential to change the world. And I can't wait to see what we accomplish together.Thank you.中文回答:大家好,我是史蒂夫·乔布斯。
史蒂夫乔布斯在斯坦福大学毕业典礼上的演讲稿:改变命运的人生启示尊敬的斯坦福同学们,老师们,家长们:今天,我很荣幸能够来到斯坦福大学与大家分享我的人生故事和几点人生启示。
我想向大家谈论的是,如何通过改变自己的思维方式和生活方式,以及积极的心态和不懈的努力,改变命运。
我相信,在座的很多同学们都已经或将要走上一条新的人生道路。
那么,当你们遇到挫折和困难时,我想请你们想到我所分享的这些故事和启示,因为在我之前的三十年中,我走过了一条类似的人生道路。
我的父亲是一个汽车修理工,我的母亲是一名家庭主妇。
我被送到了一所普通的学校,然而我常常与同学们打架,老师也认为我是一个很难调整的学生。
因此,虽然我在学术方面表现不佳,但我喜欢探索各种各样的事物。
我热衷于做自己喜欢的事情,比如在电子商店里玩弄电器,当时我们开发了一个小游戏,卖了50美元,我感到很兴奋。
我热爱生活、艳羡创新、自由自在。
“stay hungry,stay foolish."是我一直在秉持的这种精神。
当我18岁时,我进入了里德学院。
不久,我意识到我的兴趣和课程并不一致,所以我决定辍学。
然而,在斯坦福大学举行的一次书法公开课中,我学到了一些在那时看起来毫无意义的东西。
十年后的今天,所有这些学习经历都为我的工作和创业带来了新的启示。
这是我想向大家分享的“命运改变”的第一个鸣叫:追寻自己的兴趣,并勇敢地面对未知。
我毅然决定知道自己的兴趣,进入一个电子公司工作。
我很快成为了公司的一份子,然而,当公司决定转型时,我被解雇了。
我感到羞辱和沮丧,觉得自己是一个失败者,但是这些挫折激励着我寻找更好的机会去重新开始。
这是我想向大家分享的“打破常规”的第二个启示:不断寻找新的机会,并始终坚信自己的能力。
在我创办苹果公司的早期阶段,我们一无所有,只有一个追寻梦想的团队和一个明信片大小的计算机。
但是,在那个时候,我们相信自己有能力以及创造出一流的产品,我们克服了一系列的困难与自我怀疑,最终创造出独特地"伟大的"产品。
史蒂夫·乔布斯在成就学院的演讲稿SteveJobs-AcademyofAchievement第一篇:史蒂夫·乔布斯在成就学院的演讲稿 Steve Jobs-Academy of AchievementSteve Jobs-Academy of Achievement(1982.6.26)Good afternoon.Everyone’s probably been sitting here for a long time, huh? I just got here this afternoon, so I’m… my mind is somewhere over Iowa.But, a few things.Everyone here, I was told, is real bright.Is that true? Plus, I want to meet Eric later.Which one’s Eric? Oh hi Eric, how you d oin’? We’ve got about 3,500 people at Apple, and we build computers, and I had a chance to meet some of you today, and a bunch of you have used ‘em and told me about that and I appreciate that a lot.I was talking to a man named Ralph.Ralph’s about 11 or 12, and Ralph uses an Apple.And I was telling Ralph about when I was a kid, because we didn’t get a chance to grow up with Apples.And about how my first experience with a computer was having to take all these – type out a program and take all these cards to a computer center and half an hour later you’d get the result, and it was prehistoric compared to the way it is now.And Ralph didn’t understand this at all.And it really signaled that the real optimism of youth is that they don’t understand how bad it used to be.And that they really take the accomplishments of the last generation for granted and they’re still not happy.And so if there’s one thing that I wish, is that all the sorta “God bless America” stuff you’re hearing from us doesn’t dull you into compla cency with the way things are, and that you retain that idealism, and you retain that feeling that the way things are isn’t good enough because you’re all citizensof the world and the world desperately needs your idealism and desperately needs your help.And a lot of stuff here is rags to riches.I was listening back there.Sorta wanna be careful about that because there’s a lot of people that have been real successful in other terms that aren’t here, because maybe they didn’t make a lot of money, that you wa nt to listen to very carefully.And one of the things that tends to run through some of the things that people here have talked about is innovation and creativity.And if you’re really bright —Have you ever thought about what it is to be intelligent? Probably some of you have, right?‘Cause you meet your friend, and he’s pretty dumb, and maybe you think you’re smarter and you wonder what the difference is?And I’ve thought about this a little bit myself, and one of the things is, it seems to me a lot of it’s m emory, but a lot of it’s the ability to sorta zoom out like you’re in the city and you can look at the whole thing from about the 80th floor down at the city, and while other people are trying to figure out how to get from point A to point B reading these stupid little maps, you can just see it all out in front of you.You can see the whole thing, and you can make connections that just seem obvious because you can see the whole thing.That’s why bright people feel guilty a lot, because they come up with stuff that they just say “Hey, look at this,” and other people give them these dumb awards and they feel funny.But the key thing is that if you’re gonna make connections which are innovative, you’ve —to connect two experiences together, that you have to not have the same bag of experiences as everyone else does, or else you’re going to make the same connections, and then you won’t be innovative, and then nobody will give you an award.So, what you gotta do, is get different experiences than the normalcourse of events.And, one of the funny things about being bright is everyone puts you on this path, you know, to go to high school, go to college… I heard about some kid that’s 14 on his way to Stanford, and that’s great.That’s sort of out of the ordinary, but you might want to think about going to Paris and being a poet for a few years.Or might wanna go to a third-world country.I’d highly advise that, and see people and leppers with their hands falling off and all that stuff.It’s very much so worth doing.You know, fall in love with two people at once.You know.Walt Disney took LSD, do you know that? He did it once, and that’s where the idea for Fantasia came from.It’s true, and you can go hear stories about all these people, and the key thing that comes through is that they had a variety of experiences which they could draw upon in order to try to solve a problem or attack a particular dilemma in a kind of unique way.And so one of the things that you’ll get a lot of pressure to do is to go in one very clear direction, and believe in God and all that other stuff, and that’s great, but don’t ever walk by a Zen Buddhist because of that.Sit down and talk and buy him lunch.One of the things that I had in my mind growing up —I don’t know how it got there, but that the world was sort of something that happened just outside your peepers, and you didn’t really try to change it.You just sorta tried to find your place in it and have the best life you could, and it would all just go on out there, and there were some pretty bright people running it.And, as you start to interact with some of these people, you find they’re not a lot different than you.The people actually making these decisions everyday, that’re sorta running the world, are not really very much different than you.And they might have a little more judgment in some areas, but basically they’re the same.And,once you realize that, you start to feel you have a responsibility to do something about it, because the world’s in pretty bad shape right now.And, I guess, one of the things that motivates a lot of people that I’ve seen, that actually get out and do something in any different field, is that we all sort of eat food that other people cook, and wear clothing that other people make, and speak a language that other people evolved, and use someone else’s mathematics, and we’re sorta taking from this giant pool constantly.And the most ecstatic thing in the whole world is to actually put something back into that pool.And I think that people from all the fields maybe you’ve heard from here, and a whole bunch that you haven’t, would express the same sort of feeling.It’s the most ecstatic thing that I’ve encountered, so I would highly recommend it.And one of the major areas – I know probably with all this stuff I might not be invite d back here next year, so I’ll say it now… When you pass a certain age –I don’t know what is, 25, 30 years old, you sort of as a human being inherit the responsibility of being a guard of the Earth for future generations, of which you are all a member to inherit.And, I’m not exactly sure what that means, but just obviously that’s the case.And I think our particular —this particular — generation of people that is your guardian, is doing an extremely poor job in one area, and one area where all of the help that you all can muster is really necessary.And that is that the chances that this planet is gonna remain in one piece through your natural lifetimes is not extremely high right now.And it’s fairly dismal.And I anticipate having some kids one day, and help ing ‘em grow up to be sane human beings.And you people are gonna be the people that’re running the planet when my kids grow up, so would you please pay attention to this problemand try to do something about it, ’cause I’d like to see my kids grow up and be able to come here and sit like you and listen to a buncha funny people.Thank you.第二篇:史蒂夫乔布斯执着的逐梦者史蒂夫.乔布斯《史蒂夫.乔布斯传》,沃尔特.艾萨克森著,这本号称史蒂夫.乔布斯唯一授权的传记,记录了乔布斯疯狂而又充满传奇色彩的一生。

我今天很荣幸能和你们一起参加毕业典礼,斯坦福大学是世界上最好的大学之一。
我从来没有从大学中毕业。
说实话,今天也许是在我的生命中离大学毕业最近的一天了。
今天我想向你们讲述我生活中的三个故事。
不是什么大不了的事情,只是三个故事而已。
第一个故事是关于如何把生命中的点点滴滴串连起来。
故事要从我出生之前开始说起。
我的生母是一名年轻的未婚妈妈,当时她还是一所大学的在读研究生,于是决定把我送给其他人收养。
她坚持我应该被一对念过大学的夫妇收养,所以在我出生的时候,她已经为我被一个律师和他的太太收养做好了所有的准备。
但在最后一刻,这对夫妇改了主意,决定收养一个女孩。
侯选名单上的另外一对夫妇,也就是我的养父母,在一天午夜接到了一通电话:“有一个不请自来的男婴,你们想收养吗?”,他们回答:“当然想。
”,事后,我的生母才发现我的养母根本就没有从大学毕业,而我的养父甚至连高中都没有毕业,所以她拒绝签署最后的收养文件,直到几个月后,我的养父母保证会把我送到大学,她的态度才有所转变。
17年之后,我真上了大学。
但因为年幼无知,我选择了一所和斯坦福一样昂贵的大学,(笑声)我的父母都是工人阶级,他们倾其所有资助我的学业。
在6个月之后,我发现自己完全不知道这样念下去究竟有什么用。
当时,我的人生漫无目标,也不知道大学对我能起到什么帮助,为了念书,还花光了父母毕生的积蓄,所以我决定退学。
我相信车到山前必有路。
当时作这个决定的时候非常害怕,但现在回头去看,这是我这一生所作出的最正确的决定之一。
(笑声)从我退学那一刻起,我就再也不用去上那些我毫无兴趣的必修课了,我开始旁听那些看来比较有意思的科目。

在日常生活和工作中,越来越多人会去运用演讲稿,在写之前,可以先参考范文,以下是我整理的史蒂夫乔布斯在斯坦福高校毕业典礼上的演讲稿范文,仅供参考,大家一起来看看吧。
今日,能在这所世界上最好的高校之一参与你们的毕业典礼,我感到很荣幸。
说实话,我自己从来没有从高校毕业,那么今日唯恐是我一生中最接近高校毕业的一天了。
在此,我只想向你们讲解并描述我生命中的三个故事。
不是什么震天动地的事情,只是三个我自己的故事而已。
第一个故事是关于如何把生命中点点滴滴的经验联系起来。
我在里德学院(美国一所闻名的私立高校)读了六个月之后就退学了。
但是在那以后的十八个月里,我还留在学校里。
十八个月后,我才彻底地离开那里。
我为什么要退学呢?故事要从我诞生的时候讲起。
我的生母是一个年轻的未婚高校毕业生,在我诞生之前,她确定让别人收养我。
她当时特别希望我能被高校毕业生收养,所以在我诞生的时候,她已经联系好了一个律师的家庭来收养我。
但是当我诞生之后,那对律师夫妇突然确定他们想要一个女孩。
所以医院连夜联系了我现在的养父母。
他们说:“我们现在这儿有一个男婴等着领养,你们想要他吗?”他们回答道:“当然!”但是后来我生母的拒绝签这个领养合同,因为她发觉我的养母从来没有上过高校,我的养父甚至从未完成中学学业。
经过几个月的协商,我的养父母许诺肯定会让我上高校,我的生母这才最终妥协了。
在我十七岁那年,我上了高校。
天真的我选择了一个几乎和斯坦福高校一样贵的私立学校。
我蓝领阶层的养父母履行了他们的承诺,把全部的积蓄都拿给我做学费,那是一笔巨大的投资。
但是仅仅过了六个月,我就意识到这笔投资毫无价值。
我还不知道我这一生究竟想做什么,我也看不出这样的高校生活能够帮我找到答案。
关于乔布斯的演讲稿尊敬的各位朋友:大家好!今天,我想和大家聊聊一位改变了世界的传奇人物——史蒂夫·乔布斯。
乔布斯,这个名字对于我们来说,不仅仅代表着一个成功的企业家,更是创新与梦想的象征。
乔布斯的一生充满了波折与挑战。
他并非出身名门,也没有令人羡慕的优越背景。
然而,他凭借着对科技的热爱和对完美的执着追求,硬是在竞争激烈的科技领域闯出了一片属于自己的天空。
他的创新精神是无与伦比的。
在那个计算机还笨重且操作复杂的时代,乔布斯敏锐地洞察到了人们对于便捷、美观和智能设备的需求。
于是,他带领团队推出了具有划时代意义的产品,如 iPhone 手机。
iPhone 的出现彻底改变了人们的通讯方式和生活习惯,让智能手机成为了我们生活中不可或缺的一部分。
乔布斯对于设计的追求近乎苛刻。
他坚信,产品的外观和用户体验同样重要。
他要求每一个细节都做到极致,从产品的材质到界面的图标,无一不经过精心雕琢。
这种对美的执着,使得苹果的产品在众多竞品中脱颖而出,成为了时尚与品质的代名词。
乔布斯的成功并非偶然,他的领导力也是关键因素之一。
他能够激发团队成员的潜能,让他们相信自己正在创造伟大的事物。
他有着坚定的信念和清晰的目标,即使在面临重重困难和质疑时,也从未动摇。
同时,乔布斯也具备非凡的勇气和魄力。
在苹果公司发展的过程中,他多次做出大胆的决策,例如放弃一些看似成功但不符合未来发展方向的产品线,全力投入到更具创新性的项目中。
这种敢于舍弃、勇于突破的精神,为苹果公司的持续发展奠定了基础。
然而,乔布斯的人生并非一帆风顺。
他曾被自己一手创立的苹果公司驱逐,但他没有因此而放弃。
在离开苹果的日子里,他不断学习和积累经验,最终又重新回到了苹果,并带领公司走向了新的辉煌。
乔布斯的故事告诉我们,梦想和坚持是成功的基石。
只要我们有梦想,并愿意为之付出不懈的努力,就有可能实现那些看似遥不可及的目标。
他还教会我们要敢于突破常规,勇于创新。
在这个快速发展的时代,墨守成规只会让我们被淘汰,只有不断创新,才能引领潮流。
乔布斯斯坦福演讲稿苹果CEO乔布斯在斯坦福大学的演讲稿[中英]苹果计算机公司CEO史蒂夫·乔布斯6.14在斯坦福大学对即将毕业的大学生们进行演讲时说,从大学里辍学是他这一生做出的最为明智的一个选择,因为它逼迫他学会了创新。
乔布斯对操场上挤的满满的毕业生、校友和家长们说:“你的时间有限,所以最好别把它浪费在模仿别人这种事上。
”--同样地,如果还在学校的话,似乎不应该去模仿退学的牛人们。
You've got to find what you love,' Jobs saysJobs说,你必须要找到你所爱的东西。
This is the text of the Commencement address by Steve Jobs, CEO of Apple Computer and of Pixar Animation Studios, delivered on June 12, 2005.这是苹果公司和Pixar动画工作室的CEO Steve Jobs于2005年6月12号在斯坦福大学的毕业典礼上面的演讲稿。
I am honored to be with you today at your commencement from one of the finest universities in the world. I never graduated from college. Truth be told, this is the closest I've ever gotten to a college graduation. Today I want to tell you three stories from my life. That's it. No big deal. Just three stories.我今天很荣幸能和你们一起参加毕业典礼,斯坦福大学是世界上最好的大学之一。
乔布斯演讲稿中英文Ladies and gentlemen, today I am honored to stand before you and share some thoughts on the power of innovation and creativity. As we all know, innovation is the driving force behind progress, and creativity is the heart and soul of every great idea. In my speech today, I would like to emphasize the importance of these two elements by drawing inspiration from the legendary figure, Steve Jobs.乔布斯演讲稿中英文。
乔布斯曾经说过,“Stay hungry, stay foolish.”这句话成为了无数年轻人的座右铭,激励着他们勇敢地追求梦想。
这句话所蕴含的深意是,我们应该保持对生活的渴望和对未知世界的好奇心,永远保持一颗愚者的心态,敢于冒险,敢于突破传统,敢于创新。
正是因为乔布斯敢于放弃安逸,敢于冒险尝试,才有了苹果公司的诞生,才有了iPhone、iPad等一系列的划时代产品。
乔布斯的成功并非偶然,而是源于他对创新和创意的不懈追求。
在他的领导下,苹果公司不断推陈出新,不断挑战自我,不断超越自我。
正是这种不断创新的精神,让苹果公司成为了全球最具创新力和影响力的企业之一。
In the fast-paced world we live in today, it is easy to get caught up in the routine of daily life and forget the importance of staying hungry and staying foolish. However, it is precisely in these moments of complacency that we must remind ourselves of the wordsof Steve Jobs. We must remind ourselves to keep pushing the boundaries, to keep thinking outside the box, and to keep striving for greatness.乔布斯曾经在斯坦福大学的毕业典礼上说过,“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 is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when youfind it.”这段话深刻地诠释了乔布斯对创意和激情的理解。
关于乔布斯的演讲稿尊敬的各位朋友:大家好!今天,我想和大家一起聊聊一个改变了世界的人——史蒂夫·乔布斯。
乔布斯,这个名字在全球范围内都如雷贯耳。
他不仅是一位杰出的企业家,更是一位创新的引领者,一个时代的传奇。
乔布斯的成长经历并非一帆风顺。
他出生后不久就被亲生父母送人领养。
然而,这样的身世并没有阻挡他追求梦想的脚步。
在年轻时,乔布斯就展现出了对电子技术的浓厚兴趣和天赋。
他与朋友一起在车库里创立了苹果公司。
他们的初衷很简单,就是要创造出与众不同、能够改变人们生活的电子产品。
乔布斯对于产品的追求可以用“极致”二字来形容。
他坚信,好的设计不仅仅是外观的美观,更是用户体验的完美融合。
他要求每一个细节都要做到无可挑剔,从产品的外观到内部的操作系统,都要简洁、易用且充满魅力。
苹果的产品,无论是早期的 Macintosh 电脑,还是后来的 iPod、iPhone 和 iPad,都成为了行业的标杆。
iPod 的出现,让人们可以轻松地将成千上万首歌曲装进口袋;iPhone 则重新定义了智能手机,让手机不再仅仅是通讯工具,而是一个集通讯、娱乐、工作于一体的智能终端;iPad 则开创了平板电脑的新时代,为人们的阅读、学习和娱乐带来了全新的体验。
乔布斯的创新精神不仅仅体现在产品上,还体现在他的营销理念中。
他深知,产品不仅仅要有出色的品质,还要有能够打动人心的故事。
苹果的广告总是充满创意和情感,能够引起消费者的共鸣。
然而,乔布斯的成功并非一蹴而就。
他也曾经历过挫折和失败。
在1985 年,由于公司内部的权力斗争,乔布斯被迫离开了他亲手创立的苹果公司。
这对他来说无疑是一个巨大的打击,但他并没有因此而放弃。
在离开苹果的日子里,乔布斯创立了 NeXT 电脑公司,并收购了皮克斯动画工作室。
皮克斯制作的一系列经典动画电影,如《玩具总动员》《海底总动员》等,不仅在票房上取得了巨大成功,还在动画技术和叙事方式上不断创新,为整个动画行业树立了新的标准。
尊敬的校领导、亲爱的同学们:大家好!今天,我站在这里,有幸与大家分享一些世界知名教授的经典演讲稿,希望通过这些演讲,能够激发大家的思考,启迪我们的心灵,激发我们追求卓越的热情。
以下是我为大家精选的十大经典教授演讲稿,让我们一起领略这些智慧的光芒。
一、史蒂夫·乔布斯——《连接点》“今天,我要讲述的是关于爱和失去的故事。
我活着,是为了寻找我的连接点,那些能让我感到兴奋、充满激情的点。
在人生的旅途中,我们会遇到很多人,有些人会陪伴我们走一段路,有些人则会一直陪伴我们。
我们要珍惜这些连接点,因为它们构成了我们的人生。
”二、阿尔伯特·爱因斯坦——《论创造力》“创造力不是一种天赋,而是一种选择。
它需要我们敢于质疑,敢于冒险,敢于挑战现状。
创造力来自于我们对知识的渴望,对未知的探索。
每个人都有创造力的潜力,只要我们愿意去挖掘,去实践。
”三、马丁·路德·金——《我有一个梦想》“我有一个梦想,梦想这个国家能够真正实现其信条:我们生而平等。
我有一个梦想,梦想这个国家能够结束种族歧视,实现种族和解。
我有一个梦想,梦想这个国家能够结束贫穷,实现社会正义。
”四、理查德·费曼——《量子力学与宇宙》“量子力学告诉我们,宇宙的本质是概率和不确定性。
我们无法完全预测未来,但我们可以在概率中寻找规律。
这让我想起了中国的一句古话:‘天行健,君子以自强不息。
’我们要在不确定性中寻找确定性,在变化中寻找规律。
”五、丹尼尔·卡内曼——《人类思维的局限性》“我们的思维存在着许多局限性,比如认知偏差、情绪影响、决策困境等。
这些局限性会影响我们的判断和决策。
因此,我们要学会识别和克服这些局限性,才能做出更加明智的选择。
”六、史蒂芬·霍金——《宇宙的起源与命运》“宇宙起源于一个奇点,最终会走向何方,我们无法得知。
但我们可以通过科学的方法,去探索宇宙的奥秘,去理解宇宙的规律。
我相信,宇宙是有意义的,而我们的人生,就是去寻找这个意义。
史蒂夫乔布斯在斯坦福大学毕业典礼上的演讲稿:勇敢面对人生挑战:非常感谢这次能够在斯坦福大学为毕业生们演讲的机会。
今天,我想和大家分享一些我在我人生中的经历和体悟,以及这些经历和体悟对我的人生和事业产生的深远影响。
今天,我们站在这里的人,都已经取得了我们漫长学术路径的荣誉,我们为之辛勤付出铺垫的工作、与家庭朋友的睦邻相处,以及我们多年的探索与学习已经成功地带我们走向了这个人生第一步,开启了我们的职业人生之路。
但是,我想说的是,这个世界不是那么容易地让我们走向我们的愿望,并且实现我们的人生理想。
我们人生中面对着很多的困境和挑战。
然而,战胜这个世界的挑战——需要我们变得勇敢,坚韧而富有创造力。
从我的亲身经历来看,我曾经不止一次地面对挑战和困境。
天赋卓异的我与我的伙伴们最初因为创新和全新的创业想法成立了苹果公司,但在公司成立初期,我们发现公司的经营和运营颇为困难,资金链断裂,公司一度濒临破产。
但是,我这个时候一直坚信着:正是面对这样的人生挑战,才是我成为精英的最佳途径。
虽然我曾经度过无数的失落痛苦日子,但我坚持了下来,并引领了我的团队向前发展。
最终,我们在超过十年的时间内,创造出了苹果公司的辉煌。
对于人生中的挑战和困境,我有一个至爱至性的认识:每一次挫折都是一次成长机会。
无论白天或黑夜,坚定走完自己的道路是意义重大的。
尤其是我们这个时代,在这个时代中,我们每一个人都能够从人与科技、人与自然、人与社会的关系中感受到挑战的痛楚,同时我们在挑战的痛苦中培养了创造力和超越自我的能力。
我们要学会如何在这个纷繁复杂的社会中找到自己的位置和方向,秉持着勇气和自信,哪怕会面对很多的困境,我们也要勇往直前。
任何人的人生经历,无论多么顺利或不顺利,都是我们勇敢面对挑战的必经之路。
我们从挫败中学习知识,迎接挑战,拥有自我的品质和力量,终将铸就个人的辉煌。
大家要记住,人生中任何一次挫折都会成为我们逐步走向成功的人生奠基石。
我祝愿每一个斯坦福毕业生都能够勇敢地面对我们接下来的人生挑战,实现我们的人生理想,生命的意义不在于你曾多少次成功,而在于你曾有多少次韧而不放弃的决心与行动。
第1篇尊敬的复旦大学师生们,各位来宾,女士们,先生们:大家好!今天,我非常荣幸能够来到美丽的复旦大学,与在座的各位一起分享一些关于创新、梦想和未来的思考。
复旦大学,作为中国顶尖的高等学府,一直以来都是培养优秀人才的摇篮。
我深感荣幸能够在这里与大家交流。
首先,我要感谢复旦大学为我提供了这个机会。
我知道,这里有很多才华横溢的学生,你们正在为追求知识和梦想而努力。
我想通过我的演讲,与大家分享一些我在苹果公司的经历,以及我对于创新和成功的理解。
一、梦想的力量我记得,在我年轻的时候,我就有一个梦想,那就是改变世界。
这个梦想驱使着我不断前进,不断探索。
我想,每个人都有自己的梦想,而这个梦想正是我们前进的动力。
在我大学毕业后,我创办了苹果公司。
当时,我们的目标是创造世界上最好的个人电脑。
我们相信,通过技术创新,我们可以让更多的人享受到科技的便利。
这个梦想,不仅激励了我们自己,也激励了无数的用户。
我想告诉在座的每一位同学,无论你的梦想是什么,都不要放弃。
梦想是人生的指南针,它能够引领你走向成功。
记住,只有敢于梦想,才能创造奇迹。
二、创新的精神创新,是苹果公司一直以来的核心价值观。
我们始终相信,只有不断创新,才能在竞争激烈的市场中立于不败之地。
在我担任苹果公司CEO期间,我们推出了许多革命性的产品,如Macintosh电脑、iPod、iPhone和iPad。
这些产品的成功,离不开我们对于创新的执着追求。
那么,什么是创新?创新,不仅仅是发明新技术,更是对于现有事物的重新定义。
它需要我们打破常规,挑战权威,勇于尝试。
我想以iPhone为例,来谈谈创新的重要性。
当时,手机市场已经非常成熟,各大厂商都在争夺市场份额。
但我们没有满足于现状,而是决定重新定义手机。
我们希望,iPhone能够成为一个集通讯、娱乐、办公于一体的智能设备。
正是这种创新精神,让iPhone成为了全球最受欢迎的手机之一。
对于在座的同学们来说,创新同样重要。
史蒂夫乔布斯2005斯坦福大学演讲稿以下是苹果计算机公司与Pixar动画制作室执行长Steve Jobs在2005年六月12日对全体史丹佛大学毕业生的演讲内容。
今天,有荣幸来到各位从世界上最好的学校之一毕业的毕业典礼上。
我从来没从大学毕业。
说实话,这是我离大学毕业最近的一刻。
今天,我只说三个故事,不谈大道理,三个故事就好。
第一个故事,是关于人生中的点点滴滴怎么串连在一起。
我在里德学院(Reed college)待了六个月就办休学了。
到我退学前,一共休学了十八个月。
那么,我为什么休学?这得从我出生前讲起。
我的亲生母亲当时是个研究生,年轻未婚妈妈,她决定让别人收养我。
她强烈觉得应该让有大学毕业的人收养我,所以我出生时,她就准备让我被一对律师夫妇收养。
但是这对夫妻到了最后一刻反悔了,他们想收养女孩。
所以在等待收养名单上的一对夫妻,我的养父母,在一天半夜里接到一通电话,问他们「有一名意外出生的男孩,你们要认养他吗?」而他们的回答是「当然要」。
后来,我的生母发现,我现在的妈妈从来没有大学毕业,我现在的爸爸则连高中毕业也没有。
她拒绝在认养文件上做最后签字。
直到几个月后,我的养父母同意将来一定会让我上大学,她才软化态度。
十七年后,我上大学了。
但是当时我无知选了一所学费几乎跟史丹佛一样贵的大学,我那工人阶级的父母所有积蓄都花在我的学费上。
六个月后,我看不出念这个书的价值何在。
那时候,我不知道这辈子要干什么,也不知道念大学能对我有什么帮助,而且我为了念这个书,花光了我父母这辈子的所有积蓄,所以我决定休学,相信船到桥头自然直。
当时这个决定看来相当可怕,可是现在看来,那是我这辈子做过最好的决定之一。
当我休学之后,我再也不用上我没兴趣的必修课,把时间拿去听那些我有兴趣的课。
这一点也不浪漫。
我没有宿舍,所以我睡在友人家里的地板上,靠着回收可乐空罐的五先令退费买吃的,每个星期天晚上得走七里的路绕过大半个镇去印度教的Hare Krishna神庙吃顿好料。
史蒂夫·乔布斯演讲稿(中英对照)尊敬的毕业生们,今天是一个特别的日子,因为这是一个关于结束和新开始的时刻。
毕业意味着离开这个地方,离开你们引以为豪的教育。
然而,我想说的是,你们离开的同时也进入了一个全新的人生阶段,有着新的选择和挑战。
首先,我想强调的是你们要相信自己的能力。
在我年轻的时候,我曾经读了一本书,叫做《激活隐藏的天才》。
这本书告诉我们,人人都有潜在的创造力和天赋,但是我们必须去发掘它们。
我们不能让任何人告诉我们,我们不能做出某些事。
你们可以做出任何你们想做的事情,只要你们愿意去努力和坚持。
我的第二个建议是,要有勇气去追求自己的梦想。
你们毕业生们都有无限的潜力,但是要发挥它们就要有勇气去追求自己的梦想。
很多人都会告诉你们,你们不可能做到某些事情,但是这是因为他们没有勇气去尝试。
要记住,如果你们想成为一个优秀的人,你们需要有勇气去走不同的路、跳出安逸区。
不要放弃你们的梦想,因为你们的梦想可以成为你们现实的开始。
第三个建议是,坚持不懈。
很多人在一开始就失败了,这是因为他们没有坚持。
要去尝试新的事情、跨出自己的舒适区,但是不要放弃。
在做任何事情的时候,你们都会面临困难和失败,但是要坚持不懈。
如果你们想要做一件事情,你们就必须去坚持,无论困难多大、失败多少次,都要坚持不懈地追求自己的梦想。
最后,我想说的是要爱你们做的事情。
如果你们喜欢你们的工作或者你们的事业,你们会变得更加努力和专注,因为你们是真心喜欢,并且在做自己喜欢的事情中感到快乐和满足。
在我自己的人生经历中,我曾经遇到过很多困难和问题,但是我从未放弃我的梦想。
我喜欢在我专注和独立的工作中挑战自己,并且我愿意为我的梦想而奋斗。
那么,毕业生们,我希望你们收获这些建议,去勇敢地、坚定地,去追求你们的梦想,努力不懈,每天享受你们人生中的美好时刻,爱你们自己的工作和生活。
祝贺你们,祝贺你们的新开始!。
史蒂夫乔布斯演讲稿史蒂夫乔布斯演讲稿史蒂夫乔布斯演讲稿1我当时没有觉察,但后来发现,被苹果公司解雇可能是我这辈子发生的最好的事情。
一个成功者的包袱没有了,有的只是一个初出茅庐者的轻松感觉,我对各种事情也不再那么胸有成竹。
这让我轻装上阵,进入了我生命中最有创造力的阶段之一。
今天,我很荣幸能来到贵校这所世界顶尖大学,参加你们的毕业典礼。
我没有念完大学。
老实说,今天是我一生中最接近大学毕业的日子。
今天我想告诉你们我生活中的三个故事,仅此而已。
不是什么大不了的事情,只是三个故事。
第一个故事是关于串连起生活的点滴我在里德大学读了六个月之后就退学了,但之后我又像在校生一样读了十八个月左右才彻底退学。
那么,我为什么要退学呢?这要从我出生前讲起。
我母亲生我的时候还是一个年轻、未婚的在校研究生,所以她决定让别人收养我。
她十分希望收养者是大学毕业生,并办妥了一切,我出生后就会由一位律师和他的妻子收养。
意外的是,我出生后,那对夫妻突然变卦,说他们其实想要一个女孩。
于是,当时还在等待名单上的我的养父母在半夜接到了一个电话,问他们说:“我们这儿有一个未婚出生的男婴,你们想要他吗?”他们回答:“当然要。
”但是,随后我的生母发现,我的养母从来没有上过大学,我的养父甚至连高中都没读完。
她拒绝签订收养合同。
几个月以后,我的养父母承诺一定会让我上大学,她才让步。
十七年之后,我真的上了大学。
但是,我很幼稚地选择了一所学费几乎和你们斯坦福一样贵的学校。
我父母是工薪阶层,他们倾尽积蓄,支付了我的学费。
过了六个月,我却看不到这笔钱的价值。
我不知道我想要做什么,也不知道大学会怎样帮我找到答案,而我却在浪费着我父母一辈子的积蓄。
所以我决定退学,并坚信这是个正确的决定。
我当时非常害怕,但是现在回头看,那是我一生中最棒的决定之一。
一退学,我就可以不去读那些我不感兴趣的必修课,并开始上那些看起来很有意思的课程。
但是,这并没有多浪漫。
我没有宿舍,只能睡在朋友房间的地板上。
这是苹果公司和Pixar动画工作室的CEO Steve Jobs于2005年6月12号在斯坦福大学的毕业典礼上面的演讲稿。
Thank you. I'm honored to be with you today for your commencement from one of the finest universities in the world. Truth be told, I never graduated from college and this is the closest I've ever gotten to a college graduation.谢谢大家。
很荣幸能和你们,来自世界最好大学之一的毕业生们,一块儿参加毕业典礼。
老实说,我大学没有毕业,今天恐怕是我一生中离大学毕业最近的一次了。
Today I want to tell you three stories from my life. That's it. No big deal. Just three stories.今天我想告诉大家来自我生活的三个故事。
没什么大不了的,只是三个故事而已。
The first story is about connecting the dots.第一个故事,如何串连生命中的点滴。
I dropped out of Reed College after the first six months but then stayed around as a drop-in for another 18 months or so before I really quit. So why did I drop out? It started before I was born. My biological mother was a young, unwed graduate student, and she decided to put me up for adoption. She 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 wife, except that when I popped out, they decided at the last minute that they really wanted a girl. So my parents, who were on a waiting list, got a call in the middle of the night asking, "We've gotan unexpected baby boy. Do you want him?" They said, "Of course." My biological mother found out later that my mother had never graduated from college and that my father had never graduated from high school. She refused to sign the final adoption papers. She only relented a few months later when my parents promised that I would go to college.我在里得大学读了六个月就退学了,但是在18个月之后--我真正退学之前,我还常去学校。
为何我要选择退学呢?这还得从我出生之前说起。
我的生母是一个年轻、未婚的大学毕业生,她决定让别人收养我。
她有一个很强烈的信仰,认为我应该被一个大学毕业生家庭收养。
于是,一对律师夫妇说好了要领养我,然而最后一秒钟,他们改变了主意,决定要个女孩儿。
然后我排在收养人名单中的养父母在一个深夜接到电话,“很意外,我们多了一个男婴,你们要吗?”“当然要!”但是我的生母后来又发现我的养母没有大学毕业,养父连高中都没有毕业。
她拒绝在领养书上签字。
几个月后,我的养父母保证会让我上大学,她妥协了。
This was the start in my life. And 17 years later, I did go to college, but I naively chose a college that was almost as expensive as Stanford, and all of my working-class parents' savings were being spent on my college tuition. After six months, I couldn't see the value in it. I 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 life. So I decided to drop out and trust that it would all work out OK. It was pretty scary at the time, but looking back, it was one of the best decisions I ever made. The minute I dropped out, I could stop taking the required classes that didn't interest me and begin dropping in on the ones that looked far more interesting.这是我生命的开端。
十七年后,我上大学了,但是我很无知地选了一所差不多和斯坦福一样贵的学校,几乎花掉我那蓝领阶层养父母一生的积蓄。
六个月后,我觉得不值得。
我看不出自己以后要做什么,也不晓得大学会怎样帮我指点迷津,而我却在花销父母一生的积蓄。
所以我决定退学,并且相信没有做错。
一开始非常吓人,但回忆起来,这却是我一生中作的最好的决定之一。
从我退学的那一刻起,我可以停止一切不感兴趣的必修课,开始旁听那些有意思得多的课。
It wasn't all romantic. I didn't have a dorm room, so I slept on the floor in friends' rooms. I returned Coke bottles for the five-cent deposits to buy food with, and I would walk the seven miles across town every Sunday night to get one good meal a week at the Hare Krishna temple. I loved it. And much of what I stumbled into by following my curiosity and intuition turned out to be priceless later on. Let me give you one example.事情并不那么美好。
我没有宿舍可住,睡在朋友房间的地上。
为了吃饭,我收集五分一个的旧可乐瓶,每个星期天晚上步行七英里到哈尔-克里什纳庙里改善一下一周的伙食。
我喜欢这种生活方式。
能够遵循自己的好奇和直觉前行后来被证明是多么的珍贵。
让我来给你们举个例子吧。
Reed College at that time offered perhaps the best calligraphy instruction in the country. Throughout the campus every poster, every label on every drawer was beautifully hand-calligraphed. Because I had dropped out and didn't have to take the normal classes, I decided to take a calligraphy class to learn how to do this. I learned about serif and sans-serif typefaces, about varying the amount of space between different letter combinations, about what makes great typography great. It was beautiful, historical, artistically subtle in a way that science can't capture, and I found it fascinating.当时的里德大学提供可能是全国最好的书法指导。
校园中每一张海报,抽屉上的每一张标签,都是漂亮的手写体。
由于我已退学,不用修那些必修课,我决定选一门书法课上上。
在这门课上,我学会了“serif”和"sans-serif"两种字体、学会了怎样在不同的字母组合中改变字间距、学会了怎样写出好的字来。
这是一种科学无法捕捉的微妙,楚楚动人、充满历史底蕴和艺术性,我觉得自己被完全吸引了。
None of this had even a hope of any practical application in my life. But ten years later when we were designing the first Macintosh computer, it all came back to me, and we designed it all into the Mac. It was the first computer with beautiful typography. If 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, it's likely that no personal computer would have them.当时我并不指望书法在以后的生活中能有什么实用价值。
