乔布斯的经典演讲稿

乔布斯在斯坦福大学的演讲稿乔布斯在斯坦福大学的演讲稿乔布斯在斯坦福大学的演讲稿1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。

1、第一个故事是关于如何把生命中的点滴串连起来。

我在Reed大学读了六个月之后就退学了，但是在十八个月以后（我真正的作出退学决定之前），我还经常去学校。

我为什么要退学呢？故事从我出生的时候讲起。

我的亲生母亲是一个年轻的，没有结婚的大学毕业生。

她决定让别人收养我，她十分想让我被大学毕业生收养。

所以在我出生的时候，她已经做好了一切的准备工作，能使得我被一个律师和他的妻子所收养。

但是她没有料到，当我出生之后，律师夫妇突然决定他们想要一个女孩。

所以我的生养父母（他们在待选名单上）突然在半夜接到了一个电话：“我们现在这儿有一个不小心生出来的男婴，你们想要他吗？”他们回答道：“当然！”但是我亲生母亲随后发现，我的养母从来没有上过大学，我的养父甚至从没有读过高中。

她拒绝签这个收养合同。

只是在几个月以后，我的父母答应她一定要让我上大学，那个时候她才勉强同意。

在十七岁那年，我真的上了大学。

但是我很愚蠢的选择了一个几乎和你们斯坦福大学一样贵的学校，我父母还处于蓝领阶层，他们几乎把所有积蓄都花在了我的学费上面。

在六个月后，我已经看不到其中的价值所在。

我不知道我真正想要做什么，我也不知道大学能怎样帮助我找到答案。

但是在这里，我几乎花光了我父母这一辈子的全部积蓄。

所以我决定要退学，我觉得这是个正确的决定。

不能否认，我当时确实非常的害怕，但是现在回头看看，那的确是我这一生中最棒的一个决定。

在我做出退学决定的那一刻，我终于可以不必去读那些令我提不起丝毫兴趣的课程了。

然后我可以开始去修那些看起来有点意思的课程。

但是这并不是那么浪漫。

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。

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。

The first story is about connecting the dots.第一个故事是关于“因”和“果”。

I dropped out of Reed College after the first 6 months, but then stayed around as a drop-in for another18 months or so before I really quit. So why did I drop out?我在Reed大学读了六个月之后就退学了,但是在十八个月以后——我真正的作出退学决定之前,我还经常去学校。

我为什么要退学呢？It started before I was born. My biological mother was a young, unwed college 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 have an unexpected baby boy; do you want him?" They said: "Of course." My biological mother later found out 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 someday go to college.故事从我出生的时候讲起。

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. Aftersix months, I couldn't see the value in it. I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life and no idea how college was going to help me figure it out. And here I was spending all of 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 interesting.在十七岁那年,我真的上了大学;但是我很天真的选择了一个几乎和你们斯坦福大学一样贵的学校, 我父母还处于蓝领阶层,他们几乎把所有积蓄都花在了我的学费上面;在六个月后, 我已经看不到其中的价值所在;我不知道我想要在生命中做什么,我也不知道大学能帮助我找到怎样的答案; 但是在这里,我几乎花光了我父母这一辈子的所有积蓄;所以我决定要退学,我觉得这是个正确的决定;不能否认,我当时确实非常的害怕, 但是现在回头看看,那的确是我这一生中最明智的一个决定;在我做出退学决定的那一刻, 我终于可以不必去读那些令我提不起丝毫兴趣的课程了;然后我还可以去修那些看起来有点意思的课程;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 5 deposits to buy food with, and I would walk the 7 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:但是这并不是那么罗曼蒂克;我失去了我的宿舍,所以我只能在朋友房间的地板上面睡觉,我去捡5美分的可乐瓶子,仅仅为了填饱肚子, 在星期天的晚上,我需要走七英里的路程,穿过这个城市到Hare Krishna寺庙注：位于纽约Brooklyn下城,只是为了能吃上饭——这个星期唯一一顿好一点的饭;但是我喜欢这样;我跟着我的直觉和好奇心走, 遇到的很多东西,此后被证明是无价之宝;让我给你们举一个例子吧：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 san 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.Reed大学在那时提供也许是全美最好的美术字课程;在这个大学里面的每个海报, 每个抽屉的标签上面全都是漂亮的美术字;因为我退学了, 没有受到正规的训练, 所以我决定去参加这个课程,去学学怎样写出漂亮的美术字;我学到了san serif 和serif字体, 我学会了怎么样在不同的字母组合之中改变空格的长度, 还有怎么样才能作出最棒的印刷式样;那是一种科学永远不能捕捉到的、美丽的、真实的艺术精妙, 我发现那实在是太美妙了;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, its likely that no personal computer would have them. If I had never dropped out, I would have never dropped in on this calligraphy class, and personal computers 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.当时看起来这些东西在我的生命中,好像都没有什么实际应用的可能;但是十年之后,当我们在设计第一台Macintosh电脑的时候,就不是那样了;我把当时我学的那些家伙全都设计进了Mac;那是第一台使用了漂亮的印刷字体的电脑;如果我当时没有退学, 就不会有机会去参加这个我感兴趣的美术字课程, Mac就不会有这么多丰富的字体,以及赏心悦目的字体间距;因为微软就是苹果的山寨版,可以说世上所有PC都不会有现在这么美妙的字型了;当然我当时不可能预知这事事之间的“因”“果”,但是当我十年后回顾这一切的时候,真的豁然开朗了;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. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life.再次说明的是,没人可以未卜先知,事事的因果往往只在回首时显现,你得相信,种什么因,得什么果;人总要有些信仰才行,直觉也好,命运也罢,因果轮回,不管什么;去相信因果的联系,会给你信心去跟从自己的意愿,哪怕离经叛道,也绝不止步;只有这样,才能有所成;My second story is about love and loss.我的第二个故事是关于爱和得失的;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 10 years Apple had grown from just the two of us in a garage into a $2 billion company with over 4000 employees. We had just released our finest creation - the Macintosh - a year earlier, and I had just turned 30. And then I got fired. How can you get fired from a company you started Well, as Apple grew we hired someone who I thought was very talented to run the company 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. 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.我非常幸运, 因为我在很早的时候就找到了我钟爱的东西;Woz和我在二十岁的时候就在父母的车库里面开创了苹果公司;我们工作得很努力, 十年之后, 这个公司从那两个车库中的穷光蛋发展到了超过四千名的雇员、价值超过二十亿的大公司;在公司成立的第九年,我们刚刚发布了最好的产品,那就是Macintosh;我也快要到三十岁了;在那一年, 我被炒了鱿鱼;你怎么可能被你自己创立的公司炒了鱿鱼呢嗯,在苹果快速成长的时候,我们雇用了一个很有天分的家伙和我一起管理这个公司, 在最初的几年,公司运转的很好;但是后来我们对未来的看法发生了分歧, 最终我们吵了起来;当争吵不可开交的时候, 董事会站在了他的那一边;所以在三十岁的时候, 我被当众扫地出门;在而立之年,我一生的追求突然不见了, 这真是沉重的打击;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 had been rejected, but I was still in love. And so I decided to start over.在最初的几个月里,我不知所措;我把从前的创业激情给丢了, 我觉得自己让与我一同创业的人都很沮丧;我和David Pack和Bob Boyce见面,并试图向他们道歉;我把事情弄得糟糕透顶了;但是我渐渐发现了曙光, 我仍然喜爱我从事的这些东西;苹果公司发生的这些事情丝毫的没有改变这些, 一点也没有;我被驱逐了,但是我仍然钟爱它;所以我决定从头再来;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 successful 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 of my life.我当时没有觉察, 但是事后证明, 从苹果公司被炒是我这辈子发生的最棒的事情;因为,作为一个成功者的极乐感觉被作为一个创业者的轻松感觉所重新代替: 对任何事情都不那么特别看重;这让我觉得如此自由, 进入了我生命中最有创造力的一个阶段;During the next five years, I started a company named NeXT, another company named Pixar, and fell in love with an amazing woman who would become my wife. Pixar went on to create the worlds first computer animated feature film, Toy Story, and is now the most successful animation studio in the world. In a remarkable turn of events, Apple bought NeXT, I retuned to Apple, and the technology we developed at NeXT is at the heart of Apple's current renaissance. And Laurene and I have a wonderful family together.在接下来的五年里, 我创立了一个名叫NeXT的公司, 还有一个叫Pixar的公司, 然后和一个后来成为我妻子的优雅女人相识;Pixar 制作了世界上第一个用电脑制作的动画电影——“”玩具总动员”,Pixar现在也是世界上最成功的电脑制作工作室;峰回路转,Apple收购了NeXT, 然后我又回到了Apple公司;我们在NeXT发展的技术在Apple的复兴之中发挥了关键的作用;我还和Laurence 一起建立了一个幸福的家庭;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 hits 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 your 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. 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 until you find it. Don't settle.我可以非常肯定,如果我不被Apple开除的话, 这其中一件事情也不会发生的;良药苦口利于病,但是我想病人需要这个药;有些时候, 生活会拿起一块砖头向你的脑袋上猛拍一下;不要失去信心;我坚信,唯一使我一直走下去的,就是我对自己事业的热爱;你必须去寻找自己所爱;对于工作是如此, 对于你的爱人也是如此;你的工作将是此生命的主题之一;要获得真正的满足感,就要对它的价值深信不疑,也只有热爱,才可能开创伟大的事业;如果你现在还没有找到, 那么继续找、不要停下来、全心全意的去找, 当你找到的时候你就会知道的;就像你找到注定的伴侣, 岁月的流逝只会令你们的感情愈发深刻;所以千万不要气馁,不要放弃;我的第三个故事是关于死亡的;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.当我十七岁的时候, 我读到了一句话:“如果你把每一天都当作生命中最后一天去生活的话,那么有一天你会发现你是正确的;”这句话给我留下了深刻的印象;从那时开始,过了33年,我在每天早晨都会对着镜子问自己:“如果今天是我生命中的最后一天, 你会不会完成你今天想做的事情呢”当答案连续很多次被给予“不是”的时候, 我知道自己需要改变某些事情了;Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool 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 face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.“记住你即将死去”是我一生中遇到的最重要箴言;它帮我指明了生命中重要的选择;因为几乎所有的事情, 包括所有的荣誉、所有的骄傲、所有对难堪和失败的恐惧,这些在死亡面前都那么微不足道;只需考虑那些真正重要的东西;你有时候会思考你将会失去某些东西,“记住你即将死去”可以有效杜绝我们的侥幸心理;既然将一无所有, 还有什么理由违背自己的意愿;About a year ago I was diagnosed with cancer. I had a scan at 7:30 in the morning, and it clearly showed a tumor on my pancreas. I didn't even know what a pancreas was. The doctors told me this was almost certainly a type of cancer that is incurable, and that I should expect to live no longer than three to six months. My doctor advised me to go home and get my affairs in order, which is doctor's code for prepare to die. It means to try to tell your kids everything you thought you'd have the next 10 years to tell them in just a few months. It means to make sure everything is buttoned up so that it will be as easy as possible for your family. It means to say your goodbyes.大概一年以前, 我被诊断出癌症;我在早晨七点半做了一个检查, 检查清楚的显示在我的胰腺有一个肿瘤;我当时都不知道胰腺是什么东西;医生告诉我那很可能是一种无法治愈的癌症, 我还有三到六个月的时间活在这个世界上;我的医生叫我回家, 然后整理好我的一切, 那就是医生准备死亡的程序;那意味着你将要把未来十年对你小孩说的话在几个月里面说完.；那意味着把每件事情都搞定, 让你的家人会尽可能轻松的生活；那意味着你要说“再见了”;I lived with that diagnosis all day. Later that evening I had a biopsy, where they stuck an endoscope down my throat, through my stomach and into my intestines, put a needle into my pancreas and got a few cells from the tumor. I was sedated, but my wife, who was there, told me that when they viewed the cells under a microscope the doctors started crying because it turned out to be a very rare form of pancreatic cancer that is curable with surgery. I had the surgery and I'm fine now.那张诊断书挥之不去;后来有一天早上我作了一个活切片检查,医生将一个内窥镜从我的喉咙伸进去,通过我的胃, 然后进入我的肠子, 用一根针在我的胰腺上的肿瘤上取了几个细胞;我当时很镇静,因为我被注射了镇定剂;但是我的妻子在那里, 后来告诉我,当医生在显微镜地下观察这些细胞的时候他们不住叫喊, 因为这些细胞最后竟然是一种非常罕见的可以用手术治愈的胰腺癌症;我做了这个手术, 现在我痊愈了;This was the closest I've been to facing death, and I hope its the closest I get for a few more decades. Having lived through it, I can now say this to you with a bit more certainty than when death was a useful but purely intellectual concept:那是我最接近死亡的时候, 我还希望这也是以后的几十年最接近的一次;从死亡线上又活了过来, 死亡对我来说,只是一个有用但是纯粹是知识上的概念的时候,我可以更肯定一点地对你们说：No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don't want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life's change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new. Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic, but it is quite true.没有人愿意死, 即使人们想上天堂, 人们也不会为了去那里而死;但是死亡是我们每个人共同的终点;从来没有人能够逃脱它;也应该如此; 因为死亡就是生命中最好的一个发明;它是生命更迭的媒介,推动世界的“新陈代谢”;现在的你们代表“新”的, 但是从现在开始不久以后, 你们将会逐渐的变成“陈”的然后被“代谢”;我很抱歉说得这么夸张, 但是这都是事实;Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of other's opinions drown out your own inner voice.And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.你们的时间很有限, 所以不要将他们浪费在重复其他人的生活上;不要被教条束缚,那就是走别人的老路;不要被其他人喧嚣的观点掩盖你真正的内心的声音;还有最重要的是, 你要有勇气去听从你直觉和心灵的指示——它们从来都知道你想要成为什么样的人,所有其他的一切都是次要的;When I was young, there was an amazing publication called The Whole Earth Catalog, which was one of the bibles of my generation. It was created by a fellow named Stewart Brand not far from here in Menlo Park, and he brought it to life with his poetic touch. This was in the late 1960's, before personal computers and desktop publishing, so it was all made with typewriters, scissors, and polaroid cameras. It was sort of like Google in paperback form, 35 years before Google came along: it was idealistic, and overflowing with neat tools and great notions.当我年轻的时候, 有一本很棒的叫做全球目录的杂志,它是我们那一代人的圣经之一;它是一个叫Stewart Brand 的家伙在离这里不远的Menlo Park书写的, 他把自己的文艺气息融入其中;那是六十年代后期, 在个人电脑出现之前, 所以这本书全部是用打字机,、剪刀还有偏光镜制造的;有点像用软皮包装的google, 在google出现三十五年之前：充满理想主义的, 该书简洁实用,见解独到;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 issue. It was the mid-1970s, and I was your age. On the back cover of their final issue was a photograph of an early morning country road, the kind you might find yourselfhitchhiking on if you were so adventurous. Beneath it were the words: "Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish." It was their farewell message as they signed off. Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish. And I have always wished that for myself. And now, as you graduate to begin anew, I wish that for you.Stewart和他的伙伴出版了几期的“整个地球的目录”,当它完成了自己使命的时候, 他们做出了最后一期的目录;那是在七十年代的中期, 你们的时代;在最后一期的封底上是清晨乡村公路的照片,就是那种假如你搭车旅行玩冒险,也会遇到的那种村路,在照片之下有这样一段话：“求知若渴,虚心若愚;”这是他们停止了发刊的告别语;“求知若渴,虚心若愚;”我总是希望自己能够那样,现在, 在你们即将毕业,开始新的旅程的时候, 我也希望你们能这样：Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish.求知若渴,虚心若愚;Thank you all very much.非常感谢你们;。

乔布斯的经典演讲稿我今日很荣幸能和你们一起参与毕业典礼，斯坦福高校是世界上最好的高校之一。

我从来没有从高校中毕业。

说实话,今日或许是在我的生命中离高校毕业最近的一天了。

今日我想向你们讲解并描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。

我在Reed高校读了六个月之后就退学了,但是在十八个月以后我真正的作出退学确定之前,我还常常去学校。

我为什么要退学呢?故事从我诞生的时候讲起。

我的亲生母亲是一个年轻的,没有结婚的高校毕业生。

她确定让别人收养我,她非常想让我被高校毕业生收养。

所以在我诞生的时候，她已经做好了一切的预备工作，能使得我被一个律师和他的妻子所收养。

但是她没有料到,当我诞生之后,律师夫妇突然确定他们想要一个女孩。

所以我的生养父母(他们在待选名单上)突然在半夜接到了一个电话："我们如今这儿有一个不当心生出来的男婴,你们想要他吗?"他们回答道："当然！"但是我亲生母亲随后发觉，我的养母从来没有上过高校,我的养父甚至从没有读过高中。

她拒绝签这个收养合同。

只是在几个月以后,我的父母容许她肯定要让我上高校,那个时候她才牵强同意。

在十七岁那年,我真的上了高校。

但是我很愚蠢的选择了一个几乎和你们斯坦福高校一样贵的学校,我父母还处于蓝领阶层，他们几乎把全部积蓄都花在了我的学费上面。

在六个月后,我已经看不到其中的价值所在。

我不知道我真正想要做什么,我也不知道高校能怎样关心我找到答案。

但是在这里，我几乎花光了我父母这一辈子的全部积蓄。

所以我确定要退学,我觉得这是个正确的确定。

不能否认,我当时的确特别的可怕,但是如今回头看看,那确实是我这一生中最棒的一个确定。

在我做出退学确定的那一刻,我最终可以不必去读那些令我提不起丝毫爱好的课程了。

然后我可以开头去修那些看起来有点意思的课程。

但是这并不是那么浪漫。

我失去了我的宿舍,所以我只能在伴侣房间的地板上面睡觉,我去捡可以换5美分的可乐罐，仅仅为了填饱肚子,在星期天的晚上,我需要走七英里的路程，穿过这个城市到Hare Krishna神庙(注：位于纽约Brooklyn下城),只是为了能吃上好饭这个星期唯一一顿好一点的饭，我喜爱那里的饭菜。

【经典演讲】乔布斯：求知若渴，虚怀若⾕乔布斯：求知若渴，虚怀若⾕2005年6⽉12⽇，被誉为史上最优秀的演讲之⼀在美国斯坦福⼤学进⾏，演讲者是苹果公司的乔布斯，题⽬是“求知若渴，虚怀若⾕”（Stay hungry,stay foolish）。

演讲中，乔布斯讲述了他⼀⽣中的⾥程碑式的三段经历，每⼀段都和“失败”有关，⽽且“败”得⼀塌糊涂！谁也不会料到这么失败的⼀个⼈⽇后竟然能逆袭成功。

故事⼀：退学乔布斯17岁那年，从⼀所学费⼏乎和斯坦福⼤学⼀样昂贵的学校退学了。

这是⼀般常⼈不会做出的决定，⽽乔布斯坚信这样做是对的。

退学的原因，⼀是他看不出上⼤学有什么意义，⼤学也不能够帮他弄明⽩他⾃⼰想⼲什么；⼆是⾼昂的学费⼏乎耗尽了其养⽗母所有的积蓄。

退学以后，乔布斯追随着⾃⼰的好奇⼼和直觉，他去旁听⼀些看上去有意思的课，根据⾃⼰的兴趣选修⼀些书法课，⽇后证明这些感兴趣的东西都是有⽤的。

故事⼆：失业乔布斯20岁那年，创⽴了苹果公司。

⼗年后，苹果公司发展成为20亿元资产、400名员⼯的⼤企业，但他万没有想到的是，由于对公司前景和其他⾼管产⽣分歧，乔布斯被⾃⼰开⽴的公司解雇了。

这次失败给了乔布斯很⼤的打击，他失去了⽣活重⼼，⼼⼒交瘁。

⼀度迷惘后，怀惴着对IT事业的喜爱，乔布斯卷⼟重来，重新开⽴公司NeXT，并进⼊到⼀⽣中最富有创造⼒的时期。

世道轮回，苹果公司买下NeXT后，乔布斯重回苹果。

故事三：死亡乔布斯48岁那年，被诊断患了胰腺癌。

医⽣说，这是⼀种⽆法治愈的恶性肿瘤，最多还能活3—6个⽉。

这是死神靠近他最近的⼀次。

⾯对死亡，乔布斯异常从容淡定：死亡是⼈类的归宿，没⼈能摆脱。

每个⼈注定会死，因为死亡是⽣命最好的⼀项发明。

它推进⽣命的变迁，旧的不去，新的不来。

他把每⼀天都当作⽣命的最后⼀天，去做⾃⼰喜欢做的事业。

⾯对随时都有可能结束的⽣命，所有的东西——所有对⾃⾝之外的希求、所有的尊严、所有对困窘和失败的恐惧——在死亡来临时都渐渐消失，只剩下真正重要的东西：那就是要有跟着⾃⼰感觉和直觉⾛的勇⽓，跟随⾃⼰的内⼼。

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。

How to Live Before You Die死前如何生活By Steve Jobs, delivered on June 12, 2005由史蒂夫·乔布斯于2005年6月12日交付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.我很荣幸今天能和你们一起参加世界上最好的大学之一的毕业典礼。

我从来没有大学毕业。

说实话，这是我离大学毕业最近的一刻。

今天我想告诉你们我生命中的三个故事。

够了就要这些。

有什么了不起！只有三个故事。

The first story is about connecting the dots.第一个故事是关于连接点。

I dropped out of Reed College after the first 6 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?我在里德学院学习了6个月后就退学了，但是在我真正退学之前，我又在学校待了18个月左右。

那我为什么退学呢？It started before I was born. My biological mother was a young, unwed college 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 have an unexpected baby boy; do you want him?" They said: "Of course." My biological mother later found out 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 someday go to college. 它在我出生之前就开始了。

乔布斯斯坦福演讲稿乔布斯在斯坦福的演讲就像是人生的宝藏图，指引着我们前行。

那演讲里的故事啊，就像一颗颗璀璨的星星，每一颗都有着独特的光芒。

他讲自己从大学退学的事儿，这可不像一般人认为的那样是个失败的开始。

他就像是一个勇敢的探险家，在未知的道路上摸索。

退学了，却还能去旁听那些感兴趣的课程，就好比是在美食街里，不按菜单点菜，专挑自己爱吃的小吃一样随性自在。

很多人会觉得，大学没读完怎么行，这就像盖房子没打地基。

可乔布斯却用他的经历告诉我们，有时候，遵循内心的声音比遵循常规更重要。

这难道不像是在一片既定路线的森林里，他开辟出了属于自己的小道吗？这条小道虽然看起来不那么正统，却通向了一片独特的风景。

再说说他被自己创立的公司赶出去的遭遇。

这对于大多数人来说，就像是自己亲手养大的孩子突然不认自己了，那得多伤心啊。

可乔布斯呢，他就像是一个打不倒的小强。

他在这个过程中并没有一蹶不振，反而又开始了新的征程。

他就像是一艘原本朝着一个方向航行的船，突然遭遇风暴偏离了航线，却在新的海域发现了更多宝藏。

他创立了皮克斯，那可是动画界的一个传奇啊。

这个经历就像在告诉我们，人生有时候给你关上一扇门，却会在旁边打开一扇更大的窗。

谁能想到被赶出苹果这样的挫折，最后会变成他走向另一个辉煌的垫脚石呢？这就如同下棋，看似一步死棋，却能巧妙地转化为一步活棋。

乔布斯还提到了死亡。

这可是个沉重的话题，但他却把死亡讲得像是一个时刻提醒我们珍惜时间的老友。

他说“记住你即将死去”是他一生中遇到的最重要箴言。

这就好比是我们头顶上悬着的一个小闹钟，滴答滴答地响着，时刻提醒我们不要虚度光阴。

很多人在生活里总是浑浑噩噩，今天拖明天，明天拖后天，就像一只永远在推磨的小毛驴，一直在原地打转。

可要是我们把死亡这个概念放在心里，就像是在心里装了一个小马达，会让我们更有动力去做自己想做的事情。

我们的生命是有限的，就像一场有时间限制的旅行，你是想在一个地方停留不前，还是想尽可能多地去看看那些美丽的风景呢？从乔布斯的斯坦福演讲里，我们能学到太多东西了。

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 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 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。

很鼓舞人。

也许精彩就在平实之间。

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. 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 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 beadopted by college graduates, so everything was all set for me to be adopted at birthby 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 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 from college andthat 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. 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 spenton 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 how college was going to help me figure it out. And here I was spending all of the money my parents had saved their entire life.So I decided to drop out and trust that it would all work out okay. It was pretty scaryat 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 san 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. 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 withbeautiful 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. If I had never dropped out, I would have never dropped in on that calligraphyclass, and personal computers 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 10 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.My second story is about love and loss.I was lucky -- I found what I loved to do early in life. Woz1 and I started Apple in myparents' garage when I was 20. We worked hard, and in 10 years Apple had grown from just the two of us in a garage into a two billion dollar company with over 4000 employees. We'd just released our finest creation -- the Macintosh -- a year earlier, and Ihad just turned 30.And then I got fired. How can you get fired from a company you started? Well, as Apple grew we hired someone who I thought was very talented to run the company 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 Directorssided 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 hadlet 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 upso 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 turnof events at Apple had not changed that one bit. I had 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 fromApple was the best thing that could have ever happened to me. The heaviness of being successful 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 of my life.During the next five years, I started a company named NeXT, another company namedPixar, and fell in love with an amazing woman who would become my wife. Pixar went on to create the world's first computer-animatedfeature film, Toy Story, and is now the most successful animation 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 theheart of Apple's current renaissance. And Laurene and I have a wonderful familytogether.I'm pretty sure none of this would have happened if I hadn't beenfired from Apple. Itwas awful tasting medicine, but I guess the patient needed it. Sometime life -- Sometimes life going to hit you in the head with a brick. Don't lose faith. I'm convinced thatthe 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 your work as it is for your lovers. Yourwork 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 itwas your last, someday you'll most certainly be right." It made an impression on me,and since then, for the past 33 years, I've 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 tool 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 face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart. About a year ago I was diagnosed with cancer. I had a scan at 7:30 in the morning, and it clearly showed a tumor on my pancreas. I didn't even know what a pancreas was.The doctors told me this was almost certainly a type of cancer that is incurable, and that I should expect to live no longer than three to six months. My doctor advised me to go home and get my affairs in order, which is doctor's code for "prepare to die." It means to try and tell your kids everything you thought you'd have the next 10 years to tell them in just a few months. It means to make sure everything is buttoned up sothat it will be as easy as possible for your family. It means to say your goodbyes. I lived with that diagnosis all day. Later that evening I had a biopsy, where they stuckan endoscope down my throat, through my stomach into my intestines, put a needle into my pancreas and got a few cells from the tumor. I was sedated, but my wife, whowas there, told me that when they viewed the cells under a microscope the doctors started crying because it turned out to be a very rare form of pancreatic cancer that is curable with surgery. I had the surgery and, thankfully, I'm fine now.This was the closest I've been to facing death, and I hope it's the closest I get for a few more decades. Having lived through it, I can now say this to you with a bit more certainty than when death was a useful but purely intellectual concept: No one wants todie.Even people who want to go to heaven don't want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be,because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It's Life's change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new. Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic, but it's quite true.Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma -- which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown outyour own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to followyour heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.When I was young, there was an amazing publication called The Whole Earth Catalog, which was one of the "bibles" of my generation. It was created by a fellow named Stewart Brand not far from here in Menlo Park, and he brought it to life with his poetic touch. This was in the late60s, before personal computers and desktop publishing, so it was all made with typewriters, scissors, and Polaroid cameras. It was sort oflike Google in paperback form, 35 years before Google came along. It was idealistic, overflowingwith neat tools and great notions.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 issue. It was the mid-1970s, and I was your age. On the back cover of theirfinal issue was a photograph of an early morning country road, the kind you might find yourself hitchhiking on if you were so adventurous.Beneath it were the words: "Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish." It was their farewell messageas they signed off. Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish. And I've alwayswished that for myself.And now, as you graduate to begin anew, I wish that for you.Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish.Thank you all very much.译文如下:今天，很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。

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。

I am honored to be with you today at your commencement from one of thefinest universities in the world. I never graduated from college. Truth betold, this is the closest I’ve ever gotten to a college graduation. Today Iwant to tell you three stories from my life. That’s it. No big deal.

Of course itwas 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 themlooking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connectin your future. You have to trust in something —your gut, destiny, life,karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made allthe difference in my life.My second story is about love and loss.I was lucky —I found what I loved to do early in life. Woz and I startedApple in my parents garage when I was 20. We worked hard, and in 10 yearsApple had grown from just the two of us in a garage into a $2 billioncompany with over 4000 employees. We had just released our finest creation —the Macintosh —a year earlier, and I had just turned 30. And then I gotfired. How can you get fired from a company you started? Well, as Apple grewwe hired someone who I thought was very talented to run the company with me,and for the first year or so things went well. But then our visions of thefuture began to diverge and eventually we had a falling out. When we did,our Board of Directors sided with him. So at 30 I was out. And very publiclyout. What had been the focus of my entire adult life was gone, and it wasdevastating.I really didn’t know what to do for a few months. I felt that I had let theprevious generation of entrepreneurs down –that I had dropped the baton asit was being passed to me. I met with David Packard and Bob Noyce and triedto apologize for screwing up so badly. I was a very public failure, and Ieven thought about running away from the valley. But something slowly beganto dawn on me —I still loved what I did. The turn of events at Apple hadnot changed that one bit. I had been rejected, but I was still in love. Andso I decided to start over.I didn’t see it then, but it turned out that getting fired from Apple wasthe best thing that could have ever happened to me. The heaviness of beingsuccessful was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner again, lesssure about everything. It freed me to enter one of the most creative periodsof my life.During the next five years, I started a company named NeXT, another companynamed Pixar, and fell in love with an amazing woman who would become mywife. Pixar went on to create the worlds first computer animated featurefilm, Toy Story, and is now the most successful animation studio in theworld. In a remarkable turn of events, Apple bought NeXT, I returned toApple, and the technology we developed at NeXT is at the heart of Apple’scurrent renaissance. And Laurene and I have a wonderful family together.I’m pretty sure none of this would have happened if I hadn’t been fired fromApple. It was awful tasting medicine, but I guess the patient needed it.Sometimes life hits you in the head with a brick. Don’t lose faith. I’mconvinced that the only thing that kept me going was that I loved what Idid. You’ve got to find what you love. And that is as true for your work asit 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 greatwork. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If youhaven’t found it yet, keep looking. Don’t settle. As with all matters of theheart, you’ll know when you find it. And, like any great relationship, itjust gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking until youfind it. Don’t settle.My third story is about death.When I was 17, I read a quote that went something like: ―If you live eachday as if it was your last, someday you’ll most certainly be right.‖It madean impression on me, and since then, for the past 33 years, I have looked inthe mirror every morning and asked myself: ―If today were the last day of mylife, would I want to do what I am about to do today?‖And whenever theanswer has been ―No‖for too many days in a row, I know I need to changesomething.Remembering that I’ll be dead soon is the most important tool I’ve everencountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almosteverything —all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassmentor failure –these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving onlywhat is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the bestway I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.About a year ago I was diagnosed with cancer. I had a scan at 7:30 in themorning, and it clearly showed a tumor on my pancreas. I didn’t even knowwhat a pancreas was. The doctors told me this was almost certainly a type ofcancer that is incurable, and that I should expect to live no longer thanthree to six months. My doctor advised me to go home and get my affairs inorder, which is doctor’s code for prepare to die. It means to try to tellyour kids everything you thought you’d have the next 10 years to tell themin just a few months. It means to make sure everything is buttoned up sothat it will be as easy as possible for your family. It means to say yourgoodbyes.I lived with that diagnosis all day. Later that evening I had a biopsy,where they stuck an endoscope down my throat, through my stomach and into myintestines, put a needle into my pancreas and got a few cells from thetumor. I was sedated, but my wife, who was there, told me that when theyviewed the cells under a microscope the doctors started crying because itturned out to be a very rare form of pancreatic cancer that is curable withsurgery. I had the surgery and I’m fine now.This was the closest I’ve been to facing death, and I hope its the closest Iget for a few more decades. Having lived through it, I can now say this toyou with a bit more certainty than when death was a useful but purelyintellectual concept:No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don’t want to dieto get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has everescaped it. And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely thesingle best invention of Life. It is Life’s change agent. It clears out theold to make way for the new. Right now the new is you, but someday not toolong from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorryto be so dramatic, but it is quite true.Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t betrapped by dogma —which is living with the results of other people’sthinking. Don’t let the noise of others’opinions drown out your own innervoice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart andintuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become.Everything else is secondary.When I was young, there was an amazing publication called The Whole EarthCatalog, which was one of the bibles of my generation. It was created by afellow named Stewart Brand not far from here in Menlo Park, and he broughtit to life with his poetic touch. This was in the late 1960′s, before personal computers and desktop publishing, so it was all made withtypewriters, scissors, and Polaroid cameras. It was sort of like Google inpaperback form, 35 years before Google came along: it was idealistic, andoverflowing with neat tools and great notions.Stewart and his team put out several issues of The Whole Earth Catalog, andthen when it had run its course, they put out a final issue. It was themid-1970s, and I was your age. On the back cover of their final issue was aphotograph of an early morning country road, the kind you might findyourself hitchhiking on if you were so adventurous. Beneath it were thewords: ―Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish.‖It was their farewell message as theysigned off. Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish. And I have always wished that formyself. And now, as you graduate to begin anew, I wish that for you.Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish.Thank you all very much.苹果公司总裁斯蒂夫.乔布斯（Steve Jobs）在2005年6月12日对全体史丹佛大学毕业生的演讲:今天，我非常荣幸来到各位在世界上最好的学校之一的毕业典礼上。

乔布斯演讲稿乔布斯的演讲稿啊，那可就像是一场场精彩纷呈的人生大戏，里面满满都是宝藏呢。

乔布斯说话就像个超级有魅力的老友在跟你唠嗑，他讲的那些故事、那些感悟，可都是实实在在能戳到人心坎儿里的。

就拿他讲自己创立苹果的经历来说吧，那不是在炫耀，更像是在分享一个热血少年追逐梦想的旅程。

他就像一个勇敢的探险家，在科技的大森林里摸索前行，发现了一块又一块别人没看到的宝藏。

这跟咱们平常人努力去做一件自己热爱的事儿有啥区别呢？咱们也会遇到各种荆棘坎坷啊。

比如说你想做个手工艺品，从找材料开始，就像乔布斯找技术支持一样难，材料找不对，这东西做出来就不是那个味儿，就像苹果如果没有那些独特的技术，也不会成为苹果。

再看看乔布斯对创新的执着，那简直就是一头扎进了创新的深海里，不找到珍珠誓不罢休。

他的演讲稿里总是强调创新不是随随便便的事儿，不是把几个旧东西拼凑拼凑就行。

这就好比做菜，你不能把一堆剩菜随便混在一起就说是新菜吧？得有新的食材搭配，新的烹饪手法，这样做出来的菜才叫创新。

咱们的生活里处处都需要这种创新精神啊。

学习的时候，你要是老是用老一套的方法，成绩可能就老是在原地踏步，可要是你像乔布斯搞创新那样，去琢磨一些新的学习技巧，说不定就像开了挂一样，成绩蹭蹭往上涨。

他在演讲里还提到过面对挫折的态度呢。

乔布斯也不是一帆风顺的啊，就像海上的船，哪能不遇到风暴呢？他被自己创立的公司赶出去，这对他来说得是多大的打击啊。

可他没有一蹶不振，反而就像凤凰涅槃一样，在别的地方继续发光发热，最后还能重回苹果，把苹果带到更高的山峰。

咱们生活里也会遇到各种不如意的事儿，可能是考试没考好，可能是工作上被批评了。

这时候要是就灰心丧气，那可不行。

得像乔布斯那样，把挫折当成是垫脚石，从哪儿跌倒就从哪儿爬起来，拍拍身上的土，继续勇往直前。

乔布斯演讲里对产品的热爱也特别感染人。

他把苹果的产品当作自己的孩子一样精心呵护，每一个细节都不放过。

这就像一个手工艺人对待自己的作品，一点点瑕疵都不能忍。
