第一篇：乔布斯演讲资料(坚不可摧)中英文版

You can’t connect the dots looking forward, you can only connect them looking backwards.你无法把点滴与未来联系，这能通过回顾才能看见

So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future.所以你必须相信过去的点滴能串联未来

You have to trust in something: your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever.你必须有信念，不管那是你的胆识，命运，人生，还是因果报应。Because believing that the dots will connect down the road, will give you the confidence to follow your heart, even when it lead you off the well worn path.And that will make all the difference.因为把过去点滴串联起来，才能有信念忠于自我，即使你的选择和别人的不一样，这会使你与众不同

Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life.你的时间是有限的，不要浪费在其他人的生命中。

Don’t be trapped by dogma,which is living with the results of other people’s thinking.别受教条约束，别活在其他人对你的期望之中，Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice.You’ve got to find what you love.别让批评抹掉了你内心的声音，你得找到你所爱的东西 And that is as true for your work as it is for your lovers.包括你热爱的事业和你的伴侣

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.你的工作占据了你的大量时间，相信你做的工作是对的，才能发自内心的得到满足

And the only way to do great work is to love what you do.只有爱你所做的事业才能成就不凡

If you haven’t found it yet,keep looking, and don’t settle.如果你还没有找到，继续找，别安逸下来

Have the courage to follow your heart and intuition, they somehow already know what you truly want to become.有勇气顺才自己的心和直觉，你的内心早晚就知道你未来的梦想 You’re going to have some ups and you’re goning to have some downs.但是你不可能一路顺遂

Most people give up on themselves easily.You know the human spirit is powerful?!大多数人轻易放弃，但你知道人的意志有多坚强吗？

There is nothing as powerful.It’s hard to kill the human spirit!意志是无可比拟的坚强又富有韧性的！

Anybody can feel good when they have their health, their bills are paid, they have happy relationships.任何人在财富，感情生活，健康良好的环境中，都能感到幸福，Anybody can be positive then,anybody can have a larger vision then,anybody can have faith under those kinds of circumstances.任何人都能自得其满，任何人都能有伟大的理想，任何人在何样的环境下都能有信念

The real challenge of growth, mentally, emotionally and spiritually comes when you get knocked down.It takes courage to act.真正的试验你的信念，信仰和意志，是当你被击倒的时候，其身而行需要有勇气，Part of being hungry when you have been defeated.被击到仍能谦虚，It takes courage to start over again.需要有勇气放下并重新开始。Fear kills dreams.恐惧扼杀梦想

Fear kills hope.Fear, put people in the hospital.恐惧扼杀希望，恐惧使人一蹶不振

Fear can age you, can hold you back from doing something that you know within yourself that you are capable of doing, but it will paralyze you.恐惧使你苍老，阻止你去做能做到的任何事，但是他也会使你麻木不仁 At the end of your feelings is nothing, but at the end of every principle is a promise.每个情绪起伏仍然一事无成，凡是每个原则是自我的承诺。

Behind your little feelings,it might not be absolutely nothing at the end of your little feelings.你的喜怒哀乐最后可能什么都没有，但是每当下决心就是一种承诺。But behind every principle is a promise.And some of you in your life, the reason why you not at your goal right now, because you just all about your feelings.你们有些人至今尚未成功，那是因为你们过于情绪化

All on your feellings, you don’t feel like waking up,so who does? 你被情绪所主导，像是早上不想起床？谁想？

Everyday you say “no” to your dreams, you might be pushing your dreams back a whole six months, a whole year!每天你不面对自己的梦想你也许会把目标延续六个月，或是一年！That one single day, that one day you didn’t get up could have pushed your stuff back, I don’t know how long.就是没有起身鞭策自己的那一瞬间，你不晓得退后了多少 Don’t allow your emotions to control you.别让你的情感控制你

We are emotional, but what you want to begin to discipline your emotion.我们是情感的动物，但是你必须管理你的情感

If you don’t dicipline and contain your emotion, they will use you.你要是不能管理你的情感，你将会被吞噬

You want it , and you are going to go all out to have it.你想全力以赴，毫不保留 It’s not going to be easy, when you want to change.It’s not easy.当你要改变的时候，不会那么容易。

If it were in fact easy, everybody would do it.如果很容易的话，任何人都做到了

I won’t talk about it anymore.I can,I can, I can!我甚至不想讲了，我可以的，我可以的，我可以的！

To persevere I think is important for everybody, don’don’t give in.我觉得坚持对每个人都很重要，不要放弃，不要妥协。There’s always an answer to everything.每件事情都有方法

t give up,

第二篇：乔布斯斯坦福大学演讲中英文文本整理

乔布斯斯坦福大学演讲

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.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.This was the start in my life.And seventeen 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-calligrapher.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.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 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 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.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 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, and I'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.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 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 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 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 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 doctors' code for “prepare to die.” It means to try and tell your kids everything you thought you'd have the next ten years to tell them, in just a few months.It means to make sure that 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 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 it turned 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 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'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 out your own inner voice, 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 Catalogue, which was one of the bibles of my generation.It was created by a 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, 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 thirty-five years before Google came along.It was idealistic, overflowing with neat tools and great notions.Stuart and his team put out several issues of the Whole Earth Catalogue, and then when it had run its course, they put out a final issue.It was the mid-Seventies 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 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.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。

今天，我想告诉大家来自我生活的三个故事。不是长篇大论，只是三个故事而已。

第一个故事，如何串连生命中的点滴。

我 在里得大学读了六个月就退学了，但是在十八个月之后--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。然后我的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。

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。

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。

当 时的里得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。

当 时我并不指望书法在以后的生活中能有什么实用价值。但是，十年之后，我们在设计第一台 Macintosh 计算机时，它一下子浮现在我眼前。于是，我们把这些东西全都设计进了计算机中。这是第一台有这么漂亮的文字版式的计算机。要不是我当初在大学里偶然选了这 么一门课，Macintosh 计算机绝不会有那么多种印刷字体或间距安排合理的字号。要不是 Windows 照搬了 Macintosh，个人电脑可能不会有这些字体和字号。要不是退了学，我决不会碰巧选了这门书法课，个人电脑也可能不会有现在这些漂亮的版式了。

当 然，我在大学里不可能从这一点上看到它与将来的关系。十年之后再回头看，两者之间关系就非常、非常清楚了。你们同样不可能从现在这个点上看到将来；只有回 头看时，才会发现它们之间的关系。所以你必须相信，那些点点滴滴，会在你未来的生命里，以某种方式串联起来。你必须相信一些东西--你的勇气、宿命、生 活、因缘，随便什么--因为相信这些点滴能够一路连接会给你带来循从本觉的自信，它使你走离平凡，变得与众不同。

第二个故事是关于爱与失的。

我 很幸运。很早就发现自己喜欢做的事情。我二十岁的时候就和沃茨在父母的车库里开创了苹果公司。我们工作得很努力，十年后，苹果公司成长为拥有四千名员工，价值二十亿的大公司。我们只是推出了最好的创意，Macintosh操作系统，在这之前的一年，也就是我刚过三十岁，我被解雇了。你怎么可能被一个亲手创 立的公司解雇？事情是这样的，在公司成长期间，雇佣了一个我们认为非常聪明，可以和我一起经营公司的人。一年后，我们对公司未来的看法产生分歧，董事会站 在了他的一边。于是，在我三十岁的时候，我出局了，很公开地出局了。我整个成年生活的焦点没了，这很要命。一开始的几个月我真的不知道该干什么。我觉得我 让公司的前一代创建者们失望了，我把传给我的权杖给弄丢了。我与戴维德-帕珂德和鲍勃-诺埃斯见面，试图为这彻头彻尾的失败道歉。我败得如此之惨以至于我 想要逃离这儿。有些东西在呼唤我：我还爱着我从事的行业。这次失败一点儿都没有改变这一点。我被逐了，但我仍爱着。我决定重新开始。

当 时我没有看出来，但事实证明“被苹果开除”是发生在我身上最好的事。成功的重担被重新起步的轻松替代，对任何事情都不再特别看重。这让我感觉如此自由，进 入一生中最有创造力的阶段。接下来的五年，我创立了一个叫NeXT的公司，接着又建立了Pixar，然后与后来成为我妻子的女人相爱。Pixar出品了世 界第一个电脑动画电影：“玩具总动员”，现在它已经是世界最成功的动画制作工作室了。

在一系列的成功运转后，苹果收购了NeXT，我又回到了苹果。我们在NeXT开发的技术在苹果的复兴中起了核心作用，另外劳琳和我组建了一个幸福的家庭。

我 非常确信，如果我没有被苹果炒掉，这些就都不会发生。这个药的味道太糟了，但是我想病人需要它。有些时候，生活会给你迎头一棒。不要丧失信心。我确信唯一 让我一路走下来的是我对自己所做事情的热爱。你必须去找你热爱的东西，对工作如此，对你的爱人也是这样的。工作会占据你生命中很大的一部分，你只有相信自 己做的是伟大的工作，你才能怡然自得。如果你还没有找到，那么就继续找，不要停。全心全意地找，当你找到时，你会知道的。就像任何真诚的关系，随着时间的 流逝，只会越来越紧密。所以继续找，不要停。

我的第三个故事关于死亡。

我 十七岁的时候读到过一句话“如果你把每一天都当作最后一天过，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。从那以后，过去的三十三年，每天 早上我都会对着镜子问自己：“如果今天是我的最后一天，我会不会做我想做的事情呢？”当答案持续否定一些次数后，我知道我需要改变一些东西了。提醒自己就 要死了是我遇见的最大的帮助，帮我作了生命中的大决定。因为几乎任何事——所有的荣耀、骄傲、对难堪和失败的恐惧——在死亡面前都会消隐，留下真正重要的 东西。提醒自己就要死亡是我知道的最好的方法，用来避开担心失去某些东西的陷阱。你已经赤裸裸了，没有理由不听从于自己的心愿。

大 约一年前，我被诊断出患了癌症。我早上七点半作了扫描，清楚地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。医生们告诉我这几乎是无法治愈 的，还有三到六个月的时间。我的医生建议我回家，整理一切。在医生的辞典中，这就是“准备死亡”的意思。就是意味着把要对你小孩说十年的话在几个月内说 完；意味着把所有东西搞定，尽量让你的家庭活得轻松一点；意味着你要说“永别”了。

我 整日都想着那诊断书的事情。后来有天晚上我做了一个活切片检查，他们将一个内窥镜伸进我的喉咙，穿过胃，到达肠道，用一根针在我的胰腺肿瘤上取了几个细 胞。我当时是被麻醉的，但是我的妻子告诉我，那些医生在显微镜下看到细胞的时候开始尖叫，因为发现这竟然是一种非常罕见的可用手术治愈的胰腺癌症。我做了 手术，现在，我痊愈了。

这 是我最接近死亡的时候，我也希望是我未来几十年里最接近死亡的一次。这次死里逃生让我比以往只知道死亡是一个有用而纯粹书面概念的时候更确信地告诉你们，没有人愿意死，即使那些想上天堂的人们也不愿意通过死亡来达到他们的目的。但是死亡是每个人共同的终点，没有人能够逃脱。也应该如此，因为死亡很可能是生 命最好的发明。它去陈让新。现在，你们就是“新”。但是有一天，不用太久，你们有会慢慢变老然后死去。抱歉，这很戏剧性，但却是真的。你们的时间是有限 的，不要浪费在重复别人的生活上。不要被教条束缚，那意味着会和别人思考的结果一块儿生活。不要被其他人的喧嚣观点掩盖自己内心真正的声音。你的直觉和内 心知道你想要变成什么样子。所有其他东西都是次要的。

我 年轻的时候，有一份叫做“完整地球目录”的好杂志，是我们这一代人的圣经之一。它是一个叫斯纠华特-布兰得，住在离这不远的曼罗公园的家伙创立的。他用诗 一般的触觉将这份杂志带到世界。那是六十年代后期，个人电脑出现之前，所以这份杂志全是用打字机、剪刀和偏光镜制作的。有点像软皮包装的Google，不 过却早了三十五年。它理想主义，全文充斥着灵巧的工具和伟大的想法。斯纠华特和他的小组出版了几期“完整地球目录”，在完成使命之前，他们出版了最后一 期。那是七十年代中期，我和你们差不多大。最后一期的封底是一张清晨乡村小路的照片，如果你有冒险精神，可以自己找到这条路。下面有一句话，“求知若渴，虚心若谷”。这是他们的告别语，“求知若渴，虚心若谷”。我常以此勉励自己。现在，在你们即将踏上新旅程的时候，我也希望你们能这样。

求知若渴，虚心若谷。

第三篇：励志演讲坚不可摧

仅供参考！

你无法把点滴与未来联系，只能通过回顾才能看见。所以你必须相信过的点击能串联未来。你必须有信念，不管那是你的胆识、命运、人生还是因果报应，因为把过去点滴串联起来，才能有信念忠于自我。即使你的选择和别人不一样，这会使你与众不同。

你的时间是有限的，不要浪费在其他人的生命当中,别受教条约束，别活在其他人对你的期望之中，别让批评抹去了你内心的声音。你得找到你所爱的东西，包括你热爱的事业和你的伴侣。

你的工作将会占据你生命的大部分，相信你做的工作是对的，你才能发自内心得到满足。而只有爱你所有的事，才能成就不凡。如果你还没找到，那继续找，别安逸下来。有勇气顺从自己的内心和直觉，你的内心早就知道你未来的梦想。

但是你不可能一帆风顺，大多数人轻易放弃，但你知道人的意志有多强大吗？意志是无可比拟的坚强又富有任性的！任何人在财务、感情生活、健康良好的环境中都能感到幸福，任何人都能自得其满，任何人都能有伟大的理想，任何人在任何的环境下都能有信念。真正试验你的信念、信仰和意志，是当你被击倒的时候。起身而行需要勇气，被击倒仍能谦虚，需要有勇气放下并重新开始。

恐惧，扼杀梦想，恐惧，扼杀希望，恐惧，使人一蹶不振，恐惧使你苍老，阻止你去做能做到的事。但是，它也会使你麻木不仁。

每个情绪起伏，仍然一无所成。但是每个原则，是自我的承诺。你的喜怒哀乐，最后也许什么都没有。但是每次下决心，都是一种承诺。你们有些人，至今尚未成功，那是因为你们过于情绪化。你被情绪所主导，像是早上心情不好，不想起床？谁想？每天你不面对自己的梦想，你也许会把目标延后整整六个月，或是一年！就是没有起身鞭策自己的那一瞬间。你不晓得自己退后了多少！

别让你的情感控制你！我们是情感的动物，但是你必须管理你自己的情感！你要是不能管理情感，你将会被吞噬！你想要全力以赴，毫不保留。当你想改变的时候，不会很容易，如果很容易的话，每个人都做到啦！但是你认真，全力以赴！

我是主导者，主宰着自我。我不会被外在事物打击我，摧毁我，我重新站起来，而我会变得更好、更加坚强。你必须下定决心，这是你的意义。如果这时你想要的梦，不论那是健康或是功成名就，对你的人生负完全的责任。接受现在的自己，并且相信自己能做的更好。

你可以把每一天当做最后一天在过！活出你的激情来！拿出魄力来！每天不断鞭策自己做的更好！人生的最后一章尚未写下，昨日种种的事情并不重要，你发生了什么也没关系。重要的是，你要怎么做？

今年我要使梦想成为现实！我甚至不想再讲了。我可以的！我可以的！我可以的 我觉得坚持对每个人都重要，不要放弃，不要妥协，每件事都有方法。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 lead you off the well worn path.and that will make all the difference.don’t allow your emotions to control you.we are emotional, but what you want to begin to discipline your emotion.if you don’t discipline and contain your emotion, they will use you.you want it, and you are going to go all out to have it.it’s not going to be easy, when you want to change.it’s not easy.if it were in fact easy, everybody would do it.but if you’re serious, you’ll go all out.to persevere i think is important for everybody, don’t give up, don’t give in.there’s always an answer to everything.篇二：坚不可摧的团队

坚不可摧的团队

——读《团队的力量》有感

合作真的有这么重要吗？当人们陷入孤立无援的境地时，总希望能有一双援助之手伸到自己面前。孟子曾说：?天时不如地利，地利不如人和?，而?单丝不成线，独木不成林?、?二人同心，其利断金?等诸多关于合作的谚语也在中国流传甚广。2001年9月11日，万里之外的美国发生了震惊内外的恐怖袭击事件。那之后，9〃11事件的惨剧就像梦魇一般让多数的美国人挥之不去，而9〃11事件之后对美国社会造成的巨大影响更是难以想象。时过境迁，当纽约五角大楼开始重建时，这项巨大的工程积聚了社会各界的力量。如果将整个社会看成是最大的一个团队，司职社会各行各业的集团、企业、人群成为了这个团队的一分子，他们在一起迸发了巨大的能量，为纽约的再度繁荣作出了卓越贡献。美国企业家乔纳森〃蒂施的这本《团队的力量》正是以这一恐怖事件为背景，向读者讲述了团队合作、社会合作的重要性，而每一章节背后的?蒂施的提示?更是以小见大，讲述的哲理和管理哲学发人深省。看完这本书后，我深悟：一个无坚不摧、战无不胜的团队，必然要做到七个字：力强、齐心、好枪头。

一、力强：打造能力突出的团队

乔纳森〃蒂施在《团队的力量》中写道：9〃11事件后，勇敢的战斗机飞行员、警察、紧急事务局的工作人员都在第一时间赶到了各自的岗位上，去做属于他们职责的事情。作为社会团体中的组成部分，他们都出色地完成了自己的任务。而乔纳森〃蒂施在提示中则告诉我们：无论是飞行员、警察还是重建小组、社会各界企业、慈善人士等，他们都是每个领域的得力之士，他们用自己的丰富经验和超高的职业素养，共同完成了这项艰巨的任务。乔纳森〃蒂施用这样一种方式告诉我们：一个成功的团队，首先是一个具有出色的工作能力、扎实的业务技能素质的团队。联系到自身，我们工会又何尝不是严格要求每个职工，力求提升专项业务技能呢？自2010年以来，办公司就定期组织干部、职工们参加政治和业务学习，用多种渠道、多种形式将员工们送出去培训、锻炼，先后开展了机关公务用车驾驶原技能比武、机关食堂厨艺大比拼、干部职工消防技能演练、安全知识竞赛、签订安全责任承诺书、安全出行等活动，为工作的顺利开展奠定了扎实基础。光是去年一年时间，我们就向州政府报送政务信息330条，州采用43条，先后在各级各类报刊发表调研文章12篇。没有孜孜以求的技能更新，是无法做到这一点的。

二、齐心：打造高凝聚力的团队

《孙子兵法》有云：?上下同欲者胜。?这句话通俗地讲就是：只有上下同心同力、形成凝聚力，才能战胜敌人和困难。在生活中，我们总是会遇上这样的例子，在做一件事的时候，如果大家的劲儿都往一块使，事情就完成的顺利、快捷；如果人人心里有杆秤、有自己的小算盘，那就寸步难行。伊索说：?一致是强有力的，而纷争易于被征服。?团队贵在齐心，单打独斗、逞个人英雄最终只会伤害团队的利益。其中，国内两大电器卖场巨头——国美与苏宁就是鲜明的对比。国美奉行?鹰文化?，讲求个人魅力和英雄主义，苏宁则奉行?雁文化?，主张团队利益至上，凝聚成团。国美被苏宁逐渐超越，其中不也正有文化潜移默化在起作用么？乔纳森〃蒂施就通过对一家美国酒店项目策划的例子也向我们说明了这一点。而在我们工会里，也尤其注重对团队凝聚力的培养。2010年，为了庆祝中国共产党成立90周年，工会展开了系列活动，我们慰问困难党员、表彰优秀党员，在轻松、有趣、自然的活动氛围中回顾党的丰功伟绩、重申党的优良传统。在平日里，工会也要求?以和为贵?，号召我们要互帮互组、彼此扶持关心，在工会上下建立了和谐、亲密的工作关系。因此，每每有人来我们办公室，总夸赞我们说：?你们这里的办公气氛真好！?

三、好枪头：打造?众星捧月?的团队 乔纳森〃蒂施的第23章《谁是老板》中的提示是这么说的：?一个团队只能有一个‘老板’。?什么叫?团队?？有人曾经很形象地将?团队?两个字拆分，解释为?一个有‘口’‘才’的人和一群带着耳朵的人?。有口才的人就是指领导班子，他们负责发号施令，设定团体目标；而?带着耳朵的人?就是指下级员工，他们要严格遵照上级领导的指示，去执行每一项任务。如果把团队比作是一把枪，那领导必然是鲜亮的枪头，指明前进的方向。正如鲜红的五星红旗的五颗星，寓意?亿万群众团结在党的周围?一样，一个好的团队，也需要无数的团队成员?众星捧月?一般地围绕在领导班子周围，遵守领导班子的每一项决策并严格执行。2011年，按照全县的统一部署，我办公室在领导班子的方针、策略方案制定后，深入景阳镇大坝村、马鞍山村、白果树村、兴隆寺村展开民情查访活动，办公室全体干部职工纷纷深入基层；不仅如此，还帮扶大坝村四、五组整修组级公路，大大便利了该村的柑橘运输，为村民谋得了实实在在的福利；并在上级领导的统一指挥下，组织了?春耕办实事?活动，对群众反映的问题一一给予解决和帮助，赢得群众好评的同时，大伙儿也获得了工作的成就感。

书中自有黄金屋，书中自有颜如玉。书中也有大道理、有人生的指向灯。《团队的力量》让我深刻认识到团队的重

要意义。联系到自身的工作环境，我也为能成为这样一个优秀的团队而自豪。我将继续努力，完善自己的业务技能，为团队的?力强?贡献一份力量！篇三：感恩责任励志演讲稿

感恩，励志，责任

一、感恩立德，明礼修身

感恩，是人生的最大智慧；感恩，是人性的一大美德。常怀感恩之心，我们便能够无时无刻地感受到家庭的幸福和学校的温暖；常怀感恩之心，我们便能在社会中坚强的生活下去。在感恩的世界里，我们要时时提醒自己：滴水之恩，当涌泉相报！

如果你是一个苦恼的人，你应该学会感恩，因为感恩是驱除苦恼的一剂良方妙药；如果你是一个对生活心灰意冷的人，你应学会感恩，因为感恩的时刻就是你的身心得到温暖的时候；如果你是一个郁郁不得志的人，你应学会感恩，因为感恩会使你的心情渐渐舒畅，渐渐平和，踏踏实实的工作，慢慢的升职；如果你是一个被生活压得喘不过气来的人，你应学会感恩，因为感恩会使你逐步释放重负、放松身心；如果你是一个只顾索取的人，你更应学会感恩，因为感恩会使你变得会适当地给予；如果你是一个快乐的人，你也应学会感恩，这样，你的快乐就会取之不尽.....对别人感恩，相应会得到他人对你的感恩，所以你是得到了两份感恩双份的快乐。学会感恩，就是学会了长存感激之情，永存大爱之心。

二、自强不息，立志成材

困难催生伟大的品格，压力凝聚坚不可摧的精神。作为承载未来和向往明天的当代大学生，我们应当秉承中华民族自强不息的精神，以顽强的意志、务实的行动书写满意的青春答卷。

在生命的历程中，只有不断地努力、奋斗和追求，才能实现人生价值，领悟人生真谛。愈挫愈勇，逆境成才。在困难和挫折面前，要始终坚信：困难和挫折都是暂时的。心中常塑必胜之志，胸中常立豁达之情，永远奋发向上。立足专业，广泛学习。用科学知识武装自己，用过硬素质充实自己，以实际行动报效祖国，服务社会。

三、勇担责任，诚信做人

人无信不立，要将诚信做人贯穿日常的学习生活之中。行动起来，让我们做诚信的主人，对自己诚信，对他人诚信；对自己负责，对他人负责。当然，我们能做的不仅仅是这些，我们只是想通过这样的方式来唤醒大家的爱心、善良与社会责任感。让我们行动起来，把“感恩、自强、责任”这一美德进行到底！2010级安管一班班团委 2010年11月24号篇四：高三励志讲话稿：高三,我们来了!高三励志讲话稿：高三，我们来了！

高三励志讲话稿：高三，我们来了！

六月，骄阳似火；六月，战鼓轰鸣；六月，出征的号角再次响起！此刻站在这里的我们，不再是当日为行将出战的学长学姐们摇旗助威的热情观众，而是一千多个站在高三新起点为2016年高考亮剑出击的高三学子！今日，我们接过了高考的战旗，开始打响足以改变我们人生命运的又一场战役！

是的，高三，我们来了！它不再是空想，不再是若即若离，它就在现在！高三的同学们，请深刻地明白：高三这一年，是焚膏继晷、不懈奋斗的一年，是义无反顾、坚持拼搏的一年，更是破茧成蝶、华丽蜕变的一年。这一年，我们将面临着巨大的挑战：我们要做大量的功课来弥补学习上的不足，我们要经历无数次的考试来推动我们进步，我们更要承受身心的磨砺，锻造我们坚韧不屈的品格。

所以，从此刻起，我们该坚决地告别过去，全副武装地进入备战状态。我们再没有时间闲庭信步，陶醉于过去的成绩里，为自己的点滴成功欣喜满足；我们再没有理由消磨时间，躲避在自卑的阴影中，为自己的失败灰心丧气。站在高三的起跑线上，我们要做一个崭新的自己。高三了，我们要更加坚定我们的信念。这个世界上没有什么不可能，就怕我们自己先胆怯了，那样的话，即便是可能也将沦为不可能。同学们，无论你现在的成绩怎样，你都必须面对这一次高考，你要真正做到像诗人汪国真说的那样：“我不去想，是否能够成功，既然选择了远方，便只顾风雨兼程”。所以，请少一点抱怨，多一份自信。坚信无论有多少高山，我们必将征服它，继续向前；无论有多少深谷，我们必将超越它，永不言弃。高三了，我们要更加明确我们的目标。因为没有策划的高三，就没有成功的高考。我们不单单需要明确长远的目标，为自己设置理想学府，更要定好每一步的目标，为自己的前行扫除障碍。进入高三，迎接我们的将会是繁重的学业，频繁的考试，我们要把目标细化到每一次考试，每一门学科。给自己压力，也给自己动力。既然“一切皆有可能”，何不尝试着“让改变发生”？

同学们，行动起来吧！高三了，我们要尽我们最大的努力！“不经一番寒彻骨，哪得梅花扑鼻香。”从现在开始，让我们用崭新的力量，用创造奇迹的热情，用坚不可摧的斗志，克服一切来自外界和内心深处的阻力，咬紧牙关，背水一战！有位哲学家说过，过去属于死神，未来属于自己。希望同学们以对自己一生负责的态度，自觉把握自己的每 一天，无悔于自己的青春。

同学们，高三虽苦，但你们并不孤单。在接下来一年的时间里，无数你认识的、不认识的人，都将与你一路同行。你的家人与你在一起，一如继往，他们温暖在你左右；你的同学和你在一起，一起拼搏、挥洒汗水，一起迎接人生中最重要的一次战役；还有我们，xx2016届的全体高三老师，我们会投入更大的热情和更多的精力，用我们之所长，尽我们之所能，倾我们之所有，用汗水和爱心为你们的高考之剑淬火。

第四篇：乔布斯斯坦福大学演讲 - 中英文完整版

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.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 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 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 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 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 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 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 that 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 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.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 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.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 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 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’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 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, 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 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 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 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 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’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 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, 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.我很荣幸今天能和各位在此参加这所世界上最佳学府之一的毕业典礼。说实话，我大学没毕业，这是我第一次离大学毕业典礼这么近。今天我想给大家讲三个我自己的故事，不讲别的，也不讲大道理，就讲三个故事。

第一个故事讲的是串连生命中的点滴。我在里德学院（Reed College）只读了六个月就退学了，此后便在学校里旁听，又过了18个月，我才最终离开。那么，我为什么退学呢？

这得从我出生前讲起。我的生母是一名年轻的未婚在校研究生，她决定将我送给别人收养。她非常希望收养我的是有大学学历的人，所以把一切都安排好了，我一出生就交给一对律师夫妇收养。没想到我落地的霎那间，那对夫妇临时决定收养一名女孩。就这样，我的养父母—当时他们还在登记册上排队等著呢—当晚半夜三更接到一个电话：“我们这儿有一个没人要的男婴，你们要么？”“当然。”他们回答。但是，我的生母后来发现我的养母不是大学毕业生，我的养父甚至连高中都没有毕业，所以她拒绝在最后的收养文件上签字。不过，没过几个月她就心软了，因为我的养父母许诺日后一定送我上大学。这就是我生命的开始。

17年后，我真的进了大学。当时我很天真，选了一所几乎和斯坦福大学一样昂贵的学校，我那劳动阶级的养父母倾其所有的积蓄为我支付了大学学费。读了六个月后，我却看不出其中的价值。我既不知道自己这一生想干什么，也不知道大学是否能够帮我理出头绪。可是我却正在花光父母一辈子节省下来的钱了。所以，我决定退学，并且坚信日后会证明我这样做是对的。当年做出这个决定时心里直打鼓，但现在回想起来，这还真是我有生以来做出的最好的决定之一。从退学那一刻起，我就可以不再上那些我毫无兴趣的必修课，开始旁听一些看上去有意思的课。

那些日子一点儿都不浪漫。我没有宿舍，只能睡在朋友房间的地板上。我去捡每个五美分的可乐瓶，用换来的钱来买吃的。每个星期天晚上我都要走七英里，到城那头的黑尔－科里施纳印度教寺庙去，吃每周才能享用一次的美餐。我爱死圣餐了。我凭著好奇心和直觉所干的这些事情，有许多后来都证明是无价之宝。我给大家举个例子：

当时，里德学院的书法课大概是全国最好的。校园里所有的公告栏和每个抽屉标签上的字都写得非常漂亮。当时我已经退学，不用正常上课，所以我决定选一门书法课，学学怎么写好字。我学习写带短截线和不带短截线的印刷字体，根据不同字母组合调整其间距，以及怎样把版式调整得好上加好。这门课太棒了，既有历史价值，又有艺术造诣，这一点科学就做不到，而我觉得它妙不可言。

当时我并不指望这在以后的生活中能有什么实用价值。但是，十年之后，我们在设计第一台麦金塔计算机时，它一下子浮现在我眼前。于是，我们把这些东西全都设计进了计算机中。这是第一台有这么漂亮的文字字体的计算机。要不是我当初在大学里偶然选了这么一门课，Mac计算机绝不会有那么多种印刷字体或间距安排合理的字号。要不是 Windows 照搬了Mac，个人电脑可能就不会有这些字体和字号。要不是当初退了学，我也决不会碰巧选了这门书法课，个人电脑也可能不会有现在这些漂亮的字体了。当然，我在大学里不可能从这一点上看到它与将来的关系，十年之后再回头看，两者之间的关系就非常非常清楚了。

重申，你们同样不可能从现在这个点上看到将来；只有回头看时，才会发现它们之间的关系。所以，要相信生命中的点滴迟早会连接到一起。你们必须信赖某些东西——直觉、命运、生命，还有业力，等等。因为相信这些点滴终究会连结在一起，可以给你信心朝自己的理想迈进，就算是引领你远离传统的道路，那会很不同凡响。我的第二个故事是关于爱与失落的。我很幸运，在很小的时候就发现自己喜欢做什么。我在20岁时和沃兹（Woz，苹果公司创始人之一Wozon的昵称——译注）在我父母的车库里办起了苹果公司。我们干得很卖力，十年后，苹果公司就从车库里我们两个人发展成为一个拥有20亿元资产、超过4 000名员工的大企业。在那前一年，我们刚刚推出了我们最好的产品——麦金塔电脑——而我刚满30岁。然后我被解雇了。你怎么会被自己办的公司解雇呢？是这样，随著苹果公司越做越大，我们聘了一位我认为非常有才华的人与我一道管理公司。在开始的一年多里，一切都很顺利。可是，随后我俩对公司前景的看法开始出现分歧，最后我俩反目了。这时，董事会站在了他那一边，所以在30岁那年，我离开了公司，而且这件事闹得满城风雨。我成年后的整个生活重心都没有了，这使我心力交瘁。

一连几个月，我真的不知道应该怎么办。我感到自己给老一代的创业者丢了脸——因为我把交到自己手里的接力棒接丢了。我去见了戴维·帕卡德（David Packard，惠普公司创始人之一——译注）和鲍勃·诺伊斯（Bob Noyce，英特尔公司创建者之一——译注），想为把事情搞得这么糟糕说声道歉。这次失败弄得沸沸扬扬的，我甚至想过逃离硅谷。但是，渐渐地，我开始有了一个想法——我仍然热爱我过去做的一切。在苹果公司发生的这些**丝毫没有改变这一点。我虽然被拒之门外，但我仍然深爱我的事业。于是，我决定从头开始。

虽然当时我并没有意识到，但事实证明，被苹果公司解雇是我一生中碰到的最好的事情。尽管前景未卜，但从头开始的轻松感取代了保持成功的沉重感。这使我进入了一生中最富有创造力的时期之一。在此后的五年里，我创立了NeXT，另一家是皮克斯（Pixar），我还爱上一位了不起的女人，后来成了我的妻子。皮克斯推出了世界上第一部用电脑制作的动画片《玩具总动员》（Toy Story），它现在是全球最成功的动画制作室。在一个特别的机缘下，苹果公司买下了NeXT，我又回到了苹果公司，我们在 NeXT 公司开发的技术成了苹果公司这次重新崛起的核心。我和劳伦（Laurene）也建立了美满的家庭。

我确信，如果不是被苹果公司解雇，这一切决不可能发生。这是一剂苦药，可我认为良药苦口利于病。有时生活会当头给你一棒，但不要灰心。我坚信让我一往无前的唯一力量就是我热爱我所做的一切。你一定得知道自己喜欢什么，选择爱人时如此，选择工作时同样如此。工作将是生活中的一大部分，让自己真正满意的唯一办法，是做自己认为是有意义的工作；做有意义的工作的唯一办法，是热爱自己的工作。你们如果还没有发现自己喜欢什么，那就不断地去寻找，不要半途而废。就像一切要凭著感觉去做的事情一样，一旦找到了自己喜欢的事，感觉就会告诉你。就像任何一种美妙的东西，历久弥新。所以说，要不断地寻找，不要半途而废。我的第三个故事与死亡有关。17岁那年，我读到过这样一段话，大意是：“如果把每一天都当作生命的最后一天，总有一天你会如愿以偿。”我记住了这句话，从那时起，33年过去了，我每天早晨都对著镜子自问：“假如今天是生命的最后一天，我还会去做今天要做的事吗？”如果一连许多天我的回答都是“不”，我知道自己应该有所改变了。

让我能够做出人生重大抉择的最主要办法，是记住生命随时都有可能结束。因为几乎所有的东西——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——在死亡来临时都将烟消云散，只剩下真正重要的东西。记住自己随时都会死去，这是我所知道的防止患得患失的最好方法。你已经赤裸裸地面对生命了，还有什么理由不跟着自己的感觉走呢。

大约一年前，我被诊断患了癌症。那天早上七点半，我做了一次扫描检查，结果清楚地表明我的胰腺上长了一个肿瘤，可那时我连胰腺是什么还不知道呢！医生告诉我说，几乎可以确诊这是一种无法治愈的恶性肿瘤，我最多还能活3到6个月。医生建议我回去把一切都安排好，其实这是在暗示“准备后事”。也就是说，把今后十年要跟孩子们说的事情在这几个月内嘱咐完；也意味着，把一切都安排妥当，尽可能不给家人留麻烦；更意味着，永别。

那一整天里，我的脑子一直没离开这个诊断。到了晚上，我做了一次组织切片检查，他们把一个内窥镜通过喉咙穿过我的胃进入肠子，用针头在胰腺的瘤子上取了一些细胞组织。当时我用了麻醉剂，陪在一旁的妻子后来告诉我，医生在显微镜里看了细胞之后哭了，原来这是一种少见的可以通过外科手术治愈的恶性肿瘤。我做了手术，谢天谢地，现在已痊愈了。

这是我和死神离得最近的一次，我希望也是今后几十年里最近的一次。有了这次经历之后，现在我可以更加实在地和你们谈论死亡，而不是纯粹纸上谈兵，那就是：谁都不愿意死。就是那些想进天堂的人也不愿意死后再进。然而，死亡是我们共同的归宿，没人能摆脱。我们注定会死，因为死亡很可能是生命最好的一项创造。它推进生命的变迁，旧的不去，新的不来。现在，你们就是新的，但在不久的将来，你们也会逐渐成为老旧，并遭到清除。抱歉，这听上去很戏剧化，不过却千真万确。

你们的光阴有限，所以不要按照别人的意愿去活，这是浪费时间。不要囿于教条，那是在按照别人设想的结果而活。不要让别人观点的聒噪声淹没自己的心声。最主要的是，要有跟着自己感觉和直觉走的勇气。无论如何，感觉和直觉早就知道你到底想成为什么样的人，其他都是次要的。

我年轻时有一本非常好的刊物，叫《全球概览》（The Whole Earth Catalog），这是我那代人的宝书之一，创办人名叫斯图尔特·布兰德（Stewart Brand），就住在离这儿不远的门洛帕克市。他用诗一般的语言为这本刊物注入生命。那是20世纪60年代末，还没有个人电脑和桌面印刷系统，全靠打字机、剪刀和宝丽莱照相机（Polaroid）。它就像一种纸质的 Google，却比Google早问世了35年。这份刊物太完美了，查阅手段齐备、构思不凡。

斯图尔特和他的同事们出了好几期《全球概览》，到最后办不下去时，他们出了最 后一期。那是20世纪70年代中期，我也就是你们现在的年纪。最后一期的封底上是 一张清晨乡间小路的照片，就是那种爱冒险的人等在那儿搭便车的那种小路。照片下面 写道：求知若饥，谦卑若愚。那是他们停刊前的告别辞。

求知若饥，谦卑若愚。我一直如此自我期许。眼下正值诸位大学毕业、开始新生活之际，我同样愿大家：求知若饥，谦卑若愚。

非常感谢各位聆听。
