乔布斯斯坦福大学毕业典礼演讲稿I am 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 Ive ever gotten to a college graduation. Today I want to tell you three stories from my life. Thats it. No big deal. Just three stories.今天，我很荣幸能和你们一起参加毕业典礼，斯坦福大学是世界上的大学之一。

说实话，(虽然)我从来没有从大学中毕业，但今天是我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。

不说大道理，就是三个故事而已。

The first story is about connecting the dots.第一个故事是关于如何把生命中的点点滴滴串连起来。

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 beforeI really quit. So why did I drop out?我在里德学院读了六个月之后就退学了，但是在十八个月以后，我还经常去学校。

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，所以最好别把它铺张在仿照别人这种事上。

”同样地，假如还在学校的话，好像不应当去仿照退学的牛人们。

乔布斯在斯坦福大学毕业典礼上的演讲(英文)New York: 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.The first story is about connecting the dots.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?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 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 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 signthe final adoption papers. She only relented a few months later when my parents promised that I would someday go to college.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 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.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: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 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. 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.Again, you can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that thedots 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.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 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.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 DavidPackard 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.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.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 returned 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.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 abrick. 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.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 tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything - all external expectations, all pride, allfear 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 isdoctor'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.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 avery rare form of pancreatic cancer that is curable with surgery. I had the surgery and 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 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.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 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.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.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 yourself hitchhiking 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.Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish.Thank you all very much.(中文译文)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。

乔布斯斯坦福大学毕业典礼演讲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 eighteen 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.

已被确诊身患癌症的乔布斯对在场学子讲述了自己经历的三个故事，与学子们分享自己的创业心得，并以此激励年轻一代勇敢、积极、快乐地面对人生。

这三次体验不仅在斯坦福大学的毕业生、也在硅谷乃至其他地方的技术同行中引起了巨大反响。

尤其The Whole Earth Catalog提到的话，作为杂志，这是一种精神，一种气质。

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。

乔布斯朴实而真诚的演讲不但赢得了全场数次热烈鼓掌和尖叫，也成为近年美国毕业典礼演讲中最具影响力的一篇。

时至今日，这一演讲仍然对广大学子和创业者产生着深远影响。

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.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。

乔布斯斯坦福大学毕业典礼演讲稿I am honored to be with you today for your今天，我很荣幸能和你们一起参加毕业典礼，斯坦福大学是世界上的大学之一。

说实话，(虽然)我从来没有从大学中毕业，但今天是我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。

不说大道理，就是三个故事而已。

The first story is about connecting the dots.第一个故事是关于如何把生命中的点点滴滴串连起来。

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?我在里德学院读了六个月之后就退学了，但是在十八个月以后，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 setfor 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. This was the start in my life.故事要从我的出生说起。

I never graduated from college. Truth be told,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. Just threestories.The first story is about connecting the dots.I dropped out of Reed College after the first 6 months, but then stayedaround as a drop-in for another 18 months or so before I really quit. So why didI drop out?It started before I was born. My biological mother was a young, unwedcollege graduate student, and she decided to put me up for adoption. She feltvery strongly that I should be adopted by college graduates, so everything wasall set for me to be adopted at birth by a lawyer and his wife. Except that whenI popped out they decided at the last minute that they really wanted a girl. Somy parents, who were on a waiting list, got a call in the middle of the nightasking: "We have an unexpected baby boy; do you want him?" They said: "Ofcourse." My biological mother later found out that my mother had never graduatedfrom college and that my father had never graduated from high school. Sherefused to sign the final adoption papers. She only relented a few months laterwhen my parents promised that I would someday go to college.And 17 years later I did go to college. But I naively chosea college thatwas 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 seethe value in it. I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life and no idea howcollege was going to help me figure it out. And here I was spending all of themoney my parents had saved their entire life. So I decided to drop out and trustthat it would all work out OK. It was pretty scary at the time, but looking backit was one of the best decisions I ever made. The minute I dropped out I couldstop taking the required classes that didn't interest me, and begin dropping inon the ones that looked interesting.It wasn't all romantic. I didn't have a dorm room, so I slept on the floorin 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 meala week at the Hare Krishna temple. I loved it. And much of what I stumbled intoby following my curiosity and intuition turned out to be priceless later on. Letme give you one example:Reed College at that time offered perhaps the best calligraphy instructionin 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 totake the normal classes, I decided to take a calligraphy class to learn how todo this. I learned about serif and san serif typefaces, about varying the amountof space between different letter combinations, about what makes greattypography great. It was beautiful, historical, artistically subtle in a waythat science can't capture, and I found it fascinating.None of this had even a hope of any practical application in my life. Butten years later, when we were designing the first Macintosh computer, it allcame back to me. And we designed it all into the Mac. It was the first computerwith beautiful typography. If I had never dropped in on that single course incollege, the Mac would have never had multiple typefaces or proportionallyspaced fonts. And since Windows just copied the Mac, its likely that no personalcomputer would have them. If I had never dropped out, I would have never droppedin on this calligraphy class, and personal computers mightnot have thewonderful typography that they do. Of course it was impossible to connect thedots looking forward when I was in college. But it was very, very clear lookingbackwards ten years later.Again, you can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connectthem looking 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 all thedifference 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 years Applehad grown from just the two of us in a garage into a $2 billion company withover 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 getfired from a company you started? Well, as Apple grew we hired someone who Ithought was very talented to run the company with me, and for the first year orso things went well. But then our visions of the future began to diverge andeventually we had a falling out. When we did, our Board of Directors sided withhim. So at 30 I was out. And very publicly out. What had been the focus of myentire 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 theprevious generation of entrepreneurs down - that I had dropped the baton as itwas being passed to me. I met with David Packard and Bob Noyce and tried toapologize for screwing up so badly. I was a very public failure, and I eventhought about running away from the valley. But something slowly began to dawnon me —I still loved what I did. The turn of events at Apple had not changedthat one bit. I had been rejected, but I was still in love. And so I decided tostart 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, less sureabout everything. It freed me to enter one of the most creative periods of mylife.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 my wife.Pixar went on to create the worlds first computer animated feature film, ToyStory, and is now the most successful animation studio in the world. In aremarkable turn of events, Apple bought NeXT, I returned to Apple, and thetechnology we developed at NeXT is at the heart of Apple's current 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 firedfrom 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'mconvinced 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 foryour lovers. Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the onlyway to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the onlyway to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keeplooking. Don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when youfind it. And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as theyears roll on. So keep looking until you find 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 made animpression on me, and since then, for the past 33 years, I have looked in themirror 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 hasbeen "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 everencountered 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 trulyimportant. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoidthe trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There isno 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 know what apancreas was. The doctors told me this was almost certainly a type of cancerthat is incurable, and that I should expect to live no longer than three to sixmonths. My doctor advised me to go home and get my affairs in order, which isdoctor's code for prepare to die. It means to try to tellyour kids everythingyou thought you'd have the next 10 years to tell them in just a few months. Itmeans to make sure everything is buttoned up so that it will be as easy aspossible for your family. It means to say your goodbyes.I lived with that diagnosis all day. Later that evening I hada 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 the tumor. Iwas sedated, but my wife, who was there, told me that when they viewed the cellsunder a microscope the doctors started crying because itturned out to be a veryrare form of pancreatic cancer that is curable with surgery.I had the surgeryand I'm fine now.This was the closest I've been to facing death, and I hope its the closestI get for a few more decades. Having lived through it, I can now say this to youwith a bit more certainty than when death was a useful but purely intellectualconcept: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 the singlebest invention of Life. It is Life's change agent. It clears out the old to makeway 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.Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don'tbe trapped 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 and intuition.They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else issecondary.。

The first story is about connecting the dots.第一个故事关于串起生命中的点点滴滴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?退学是我这一生所做出的最正确的决定之一。

乔布斯在斯坦福大学毕业典礼上的英文演讲稿（附翻译）Ladies and gentlemen,Today marks a special day for all of us gathered here at Stanford University. It is an honor to be standing in front of you all and to share my reflections on life, purpose, and success. Today, I would like to share with you three stories from my life that define who I am, and who I hope to be, and the lessons I've learned along the way. I hope these stories will inspire and motivate you, regardless of where you are in your own journey.First story: Connecting the dotsI was adopted at birth and grew up in a modest family in California.I always had a passion for computers, but I dropped out of college after six months because it seemed too expensive and I wasn't sure what I wanted to do with my life. I was lost, and for the next 18 months, I simply lived day-to-day, learning calligraphy, wandering and taking classes that intrigued me. At the time, it seemed pointless. In retrospect, it was a crucial period of self-discovery. Eventually, I returned to my interest in computers, and because of my experiences with calligraphy, I was drawn to the beauty and elegance of fonts and typefaces. This eventually led to the creation of the first Macintosh computer - which transformed the way weall work and communicate. But the point here is that you can never connect the dots looking forward. You can only connect them looking back. So you need to trust that the dots will connect somehow in your future. You have to trust in something - your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever - because believing that the dots willconnect 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.第一故事：连接那些点女士们，先生们，今天是斯坦福大学的特别日子。

Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish.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.

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 graduatedfrom 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 bigdeal. 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 eighteen months or so before I really quit.So why did I drop out? It started before I was born. My biological motherwas 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 thelast 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.This was the start in my life. And seventeen years later, I did go tocollege, 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 hadno 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.

If I had never dropped in on thatsingle course in college, the Mac would have never had multiple typefacesor 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 calligraphy class and personals computers might not have the wonderful typography that they do.Of course it was impossible to connect the dots looking forward when I wasin college, but it was very, very clear looking backwards 10 years later. Again, you can't connect the dots looking forward. You can only connectthem looking backwards, so you have to trust that the dots will somehowconnect in your future. You have to trust in something--your gut, destiny,life, karma, whatever--because believing that the dots will connect downthe 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 lovedto do early in life. Woz and I started Apple in my parents' garage when Iwas twenty. We worked hard and in ten years, Apple had grown from just the two of us in a garage into a $2 billion company with over 4,000 employees. We'd just released our finest creation, the Macintosh, a year earlier, andI'd just turned thirty, 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, and so at thirty, I was out, and very publicly out. What had been the focus of my entire adult life was gone, and it was devastating. Ireally 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 Ieven 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 hadnot changed that one bit. I'd been rejected but I was still in love. And soI 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 being successful was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner again, lesssure about everything. It freed me to enter one of the most creativeperiods in my life. 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 world's 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 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 neededit. 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. Ifyou 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 asthe 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 Iam 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 thingsjust 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. Thereis 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 typeof cancer that is incurable, and that I should expect to live no longerthan three to six months. My doctor advised me to go home and get my affairs in order, which is doctors' code for "prepare to die." It means totry and tell your kids everything you thought you'd have the next ten yearsto tell them, in just a few months. It means to make sure that everythingis buttoned up so that it will be as easy as possible for your family. Itmeans to say your goodbyes.I lived with that diagnosis all day. Later that evening I had a biopsywhere they stuck an 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, who was there, told me that when they viewed the cells under a microscope, the doctor started crying, because itturned out to be a very rare form of pancreatic cancer that is curable with surgery. I had the surgery and, thankfully, I am fine now.This was the closest I've been to facing death, and I hope it's the closestI get for a few more decades. Having lived through it, I can now say thisto you with a bit more certainty than when death was a useful but purely intellectual concept. 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 weall 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 isyou. But someday, not too long from now, you will gradually become the oldand 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 out your own innervoice, heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly wantto become. Everything else is secondary.When I was young, there was an amazing publication called The Whole Earth Catalogue, which was one of the bibles of my generation. It was created bya fellow named Stuart Brand not far from here in Menlo Park, and he brought it to life with his poetic touch. This was in the late Sixties, beforepersonal computers and desktop publishing, so it was all made with typewriters, scissors, and Polaroid cameras. it was sort of like Google in paperback form thirty-five years before Google came along. It was idealistic, overflowing with neat tools and great notions. Stuart and histeam put out several issues of the The Whole Earth Catalogue, and then when it had run its course, they put out a final issue. It was the mid-Seventiesand 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 yourself hitchhiking on if you were so adventurous. Beneath 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. Stay hungry, stay foolish.Thank you all, very much!。
