But one night he working late at the Scanlon-Taylor mill, lugging two-by-fours to the truck, 1splinters slicing all the way through the glove.He too small for that kind a work, too skinny, but he needed the job.He was tired.It was raining.He slip off the loading dock, fell down on the drive.Tractor trailer didn't see him and crushed his lungs fore he could move.By the time I found out, he was dead.一天晚上，他在斯坎伦-泰勒轧机厂干到很晚，拖着的木料往货车上装，木刺划破手套，扎得满手都是。他太瘦，个头又小，干不了那重活儿，可他需要那份工作。他累得支撑不住，天又下雨，他滑倒了，从装卸月台上摔下来，一头栽进车道。拖车司机没瞧见他，他还没来得及挪身，车就从他身上碾过去了。等我找到他的时候，他已经断气了。
That was the day my whole world went black.Air look black, sun look black.I laid up in bed and stared at the black walls a my house.Minny came ever day to make sure I was still breathing, feed me food to keep me living.Took three months fore I even look out the window, see the world still there.I was surprise to see the world didn't stop just cause my boy did.从那天起，我整个世界都黑了。空气是黑的，太阳是黑的。我躺在床上直愣愣地盯着屋里黑的墙壁。明尼每天都来看我，以确保我还有气息，她喂我进食，让我残喘地活下去。整整三个月后，我才抬眼看窗户外头，看外头的世界是否照旧。我惶惑地发现整个世界竟然没有因为我儿子的死停下半分。
Five months after the funeral, I lifted myself up out a bed.I put on my white uniform and put my little gold cross back around my neck and I went to wait on Miss Leefolt cause she just have her baby girl.But it weren't too long before I seen something in me had changed.A bitter seed was planted inside a me.And I just didn't feel so accepting anymore.葬礼之后又过了五个月，我起身下床。我穿上白色制服，又把小小的金十字架戴回脖子上，随后前去服侍李弗特小姐，她刚生下个女娃。但没过多久我便发现我的心已不复从前。苦涩的种子在我体内悄然埋下，我不再那么容易敞开胸怀了。
“GET THE HOUSE straightened up and then go on and fix some of that chicken salad now,” say Miss Leefolt.“把屋子规整规整，再去把鸡肉沙拉准备好。”李弗特太太呼喝着。
It's bridge club day.Every fourth Wednesday a the month.A course I already got everthing ready to go—made the chicken salad this morning, ironed the tablecloths yesterday.Miss Leefolt seen me at it too.She ain't but twenty-three years old and she like hearing herself tell me what to do.每个月的第四个礼拜三是她们的桥牌聚会日。我已经将里里外外拾掇停当——一大早做好了鸡肉沙拉，桌布也在昨天熨烫平整。李弗特太太亲眼瞧着我做完这些。她不过才二十三岁，却很喜欢对我指手画脚，差使我做这干那。
She already got the blue dress on I ironed this morning, the one with sixty-five pleats on the waist, so tiny I got to squint through my glasses to iron.I don't hate much in life, but me and that dress is not on good terms.她已经把我今早熨好的蓝裙子穿上了，那条在腰上密匝匝打了六十五个小褶的裙子，我得戴起眼镜眯上眼才能把那些绿豆大的褶给烫准了。我对家常日子没啥抱怨的，可我和那条裙子实在处不到一块儿去。
“And you make sure Mae Mobley's not coming in on us, now.I tell you, I am so burned up at her—tore up my good stationery into five thousand pieces and I've got fifteen thank-you notes
for the Junior League to do…”“还有，你要管住梅·莫布利，别让她来烦我们。我告诉你吧，她可是把我惹火了，她把我好端端的信纸撕个粉碎，我可还有十五封青年联盟会的感谢信要写呐……”
I arrange the-this and the-that for her lady friends.Set out the good crystal, put the silver service out.Miss Leefolt don't put up no dinky card table like the other ladies do.We sat at the dining room table.Put a cloth on top to cover the big L-shaped crack, move that red flower centerpiece to the sideboard to hide where the wood all scratched.Miss Leefolt, she like it fancy when she do a luncheon.Maybe she trying to make up for her house being small.They ain't rich folk, that I know.Rich folk don't try so hard.我还在忙着为她的那些太太小姐们准备这个支应那个。我搬出花哨的玻璃杯盏，摆上银质刀叉。李弗特太太没能像其他阔太太那样添置上一张小巧精致的牌桌，我们只得坐在餐桌前打牌。我们在桌上铺上桌布遮住L型的裂隙，又把红色镂花桌饰挪到橱柜那儿，好挡住坑坑洼洼剥落掉渣的木柜。李弗特太太大概想弥补屋子狭小的不足，着意把餐会拾掇得富贵体面。我知道他们不太富裕，富庶人家可不会这么费劲。
I'm used to working for young couples, but I spec this is the smallest house I ever worked in.It's just the one story.Her and Mister Leefolt's room in the back be a fair size, but Baby Girl's room be tiny.The dining room and the regular living room kind a join up.Only two bathrooms, which is a relief cause I worked in houses where they was five or six.Take a whole day just to clean toilets.Miss Leefolt don't pay but ninety-five cents an hour, less than I been paid in years.But after Treelore died, I took what I could.Landlord wasn't gonna wait much longer.And even though it's small, Miss Leefolt done the house up nice as she can.She pretty good with the sewing machine.Anything she can't buy new of, she just get her some blue material and sew it a cover.我过去常帮年轻夫妇操持家务，可我揣度着这家是我见过门户最小的人家。整套房子上下不过一层，她和李弗特先生的后屋尚且宽敞，可是梅的房间小得立不住脚。餐厅连着起居室混作一处。他们只有两个卫生间，这倒为我省下不少事，我从前碰上的人家通常都有五六间，光为他们清理厕所就得花上我整整一天。李弗特太太每个钟点只付我九十五美分，我早不止这个价了，但打崔劳死后，我也顾不上挑肥拣瘦，我已经拖欠不起房租了。尽管屋子小得转不开身，可李弗特太太还是费心尽力把它装点得光鲜体面。她很擅长缝连补缀，一旦买不起新家什，她便扯些蓝布头，自裁自缝出个布套子把旧家什装扮上。
第三篇：乔布斯演讲
史蒂夫-乔布斯的2005年斯坦福大学毕业典礼演说辞
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.The first story is about connecting the dots.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。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 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.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，他们改变了注意，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。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.这是我生命的开端。十七年后，我上大学了，但是我很无知地选了一所差不多和斯坦福一样贵的学校，几乎花掉我那蓝领阶层养父母一生的积蓄。六个月后，我觉得不值得。我看不出自己以后要做什么，也不晓得大学会怎样帮我指点迷津，而我却在花销父母一生的积蓄。所以我决定退学，并且相信没有做错。一开始非常吓人，但回忆起来，这却是我一生中作的最好的决定之一。从我退学的那一刻起，我可以停止一切不感兴趣的必修课，开始旁听那些有意思得多的课。
It wasn't all romantic.I didn't have a dorm room, so I slept on the floor in friends' rooms.I returned Coke bottles for the five-cent deposits to buy food with, and I would walk the seven miles across town every Sunday night to get one good meal a week at the Hare Krishna temple.I loved it.And much of what I stumbled into by following my curiosity and intuition turned out to be priceless later on.Let me give you one example.事情并不那么美好。我没有宿舍可住，睡在朋友房间的地上。为了吃饭，我收集五分一个的旧可乐瓶，每个星期天晚上步行七英里到哈尔-克里什纳庙里改善一下一周的伙食。我喜欢这种生活方式。能够遵循自己的好奇和直觉前行后来被证明是多么的珍贵。让我来给你们举个例子吧。
Reed College at that time offered perhaps the best calligraphy instruction in the country.Throughout the campus every poster, every label on every drawer was beautifully hand-calligraphed.Because I had dropped out and didn't have to take the normal classes, I decided to take a calligraphy class to learn how to do this.I learned about serif and sans-serif typefaces, about varying the amount of space between different letter combinations, about what makes great typography great.It was beautiful, historical, artistically subtle in a way that science can't capture, and I found it fascinating.当时的里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。
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.一开始实在看不出所有这些会对我的实际生活应用有任何帮助。但是十年后当我们在设计苹果第一台电脑的时候，这些东西都跑出来了，我把它们全都设计到了电脑里。那是第一台有漂亮字体的电脑。如果我从来没有选过那门课，苹果电脑就不会有那些漂亮的字型，又因为微软是完全拷贝苹果，很有可能，个人电脑就不会有这些漂亮的字体了。
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.如果我没有退学，我就不会去修那门写字课，个人电脑就不会像现在这样有令人愉悦的字体了。
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.当然，当我还在大学时向前预测是完全不可能把这些点滴串联起来的，然而十年后再回顾时，就显得很明朗了。再说一遍，往前看，是连接不起这些点滴的，只有往后看才行。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。
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 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.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，董事长站在了他的一边。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。有个东西在慢慢地叫醒我。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。我决定从新开始。
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.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。
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.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。
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.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。
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.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。
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.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。
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.我整日都与诊断书待在一起。那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，直达小肠，用一根针在我的胰腺肿瘤上取了几个细胞。我当时服了镇定剂，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，谢天谢地，我痊愈了。
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.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被清除。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。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 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.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，“保持饥饿，保持愚蠢”。这是他们的告别语，“保持饥饿，保持愚蠢”。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。保持饥饿，保持愚蠢。
Thank you all, very much.非常感谢。
第四篇：乔布斯演讲
今天在火车上，用ipad上网，看到乔布斯去世的消息，有一个时代过去了的感觉------
转发乔布斯2005年在斯坦福大学毕业典礼上的演讲，纪念一下。
很荣幸我能来到世界上最优秀的学府。说实话，我大学没有毕业。参加毕业生典礼是我和毕业这件事最近距离的接触了。今天，我要讲3个故事。没有什么特别的，只是3个小故事。
第一个是关于连接生命轨迹的故事。
我上大学6个月后休学。在接下来的18个月里，我作为休学生到处闲逛，之后才彻底退学。我为什么退学？这好像是我出生之前就已经注定的命运。我的生母是个未婚大学生。因此决定将我登记被领养。但是她有一个非常坚定的领养条件：收养者必须是大学毕业生。收养部门最后终于得以安排一位律师和他的妻子收养我。只是在最后一刻，当把我的资料递送他们时，他们最终决定要收养一个女孩。所以，我之后的养父母在半夜接到电话，说：“这里意外地来了一个新生儿，但是个男孩。你们愿意收养吗？” 我的养父母说：“当然愿意。” 后来，我的生母了解到，我的养母大学肄业，我的养父连高中都没有读完，因此而拒绝在领养书上签字。直到数月后，我的养父母承诺一定让我读大学，她才同意。这就是我的生命之初。
17年后，我终于上了大学。但是，我却选择了学费最昂贵的斯坦福大学。我父母的所有积蓄都被用于为我交学费。上大学6个月后，我实在看不出上大学有什么价值。当时，我没有人生的目标，而上大学似乎也无法帮助我厘清我的人生目标。而我却花尽了父母毕生的积蓄。所以我决定退学。我同时确信这对我的前途不会有什么影响。退学在当时看来是很可怕的一件事。但是，现在回头看，这是我一生中所作出的最正确的决定。退学只是放弃了学习我不感兴趣的东西。然而，我却有了时间去学习我感兴趣的知识。但是，这并不是件浪漫的事。我没有了宿舍，只能睡在朋友宿舍的地板上。我用退可乐瓶的押金（每个5美分）去买食物。我每个周日晚上步行7英里去基督教堂吃免费的晚餐。我非常享受这样的生活。因为不去上学，我学习的内容可以完全依据我的兴趣而定。后来被证明，这是个极其宝贵的经历。举一个例子：当时大学里随处可见的字体在国内是最漂亮的，校园里的海报，抽屉上的标签。因此，我决定去上书法课，为了能写出同样漂亮的字。我学习写不同的字体，选择合适的字号，安排字母间合理的间距。这一切令我着迷，非常美好。而且具有历史性的意义。然而，10年后，当我们设计第一款苹果电脑时，它的意义便凸显出来。我们的Macintosh电脑采用了最漂亮的字体设计。如果我当时没有自修书法课，苹果电脑不会为使用者提供了多种字体和字号的选择。由于微软的视窗系统抄袭了苹果，因此，如果我们未开此先河，没有任何电脑系统会这样做。当然，在我上大学时，无法看到这么远的未来。但当我回头看过去那10年时，这样的必然联系清晰可见。因此，我们无法预知未来，只有当我们回望时，才可能串连起人生发展的轨迹。你必须相信：你现在做的一切都与你的未来相连接。你必须要相信某样东西：你的勇气、你的生命、你的宿命。。因为，相信你现在所做的一切会决定你的未来，会给予你坚定的信念去跟随你内心的愿望，去编织你未来的梦想。这样，你的生命才会有所不同。
我的第二个故事是关于爱和失去。
我很幸运。我还在很年轻的时候就找到了我愿意做的事情。我20岁时在父母的车库开始研究Mac电脑。我们工作很努力，仅用10年，苹果公司就从在车库工作的我们两个人发展成为年营业额20亿美元，拥有4000名员工的大公司。我们一年后推出Macintosh的时候，我才刚满30岁。但是，我却被解雇了。我怎么会被自己创办的公司解雇呢？随着公司业务的发展，我雇佣了一个我当时认为非常有才干的职业经理人。第一年，我们合作地很好。之后，我们对公司的发展愿景产生了分歧。最后，公司业绩下滑。随后，公司董事长和他商量决定将我赶走。而且，这个消息被公之于众。
顷刻间，我生命的轨迹被切断。这简直是场灾难。头几个月，我无所事事。我感到自己辜负了早期那批年轻创业者的期望。我甚至找到David和Bob,为自己过去和他们很凶地发脾气而道歉。我在公众面前是个失败者。我甚至想到过跳崖。
但是慢慢地我开始清醒。我依然热爱我所做的事。被苹果公司赶出来也无法改变这一点。虽然我被拒绝了，然而我的心中依然有爱。因此，我决定重整旗鼓。我那时还看不出，但后来被证明，被苹果解雇是我生命中所发生过的最好的一件事：从零开始的创业者的轻松代替了事业成功的愉悦。我获得了精神上的解放。那段时间是我生命中最富创造力的阶段。在接下来的5年里，我接连创建了Next和Pixar两间公司。我还遇到了我生命中最重要的女人并和她结婚。后来，苹果公司收购了Next。我又得以再次回归苹果公司。而Next公司所开发的技术后来成为苹果公司再次复兴的核心力量。我和妻子也有了一个幸福的家庭。
我一直相信，如果当年苹果公司没有解雇我，后来的一切都不会发生。我相信：良药苦口，但利于病。有时，命运会给我们当头一棒。但不要失去信念。我相信，支撑我坚持下去的力量来自我钟爱的事业。你必须要找到你的所爱，工作如此，人生伴侣的选择亦如此。工作占据了人生很大的部分，只有确信你所做的事是有意义的，你的工作才能给你带来满足感。工作出色的前提条件是你热爱你的工作。如果你尚未找到你的所爱，继续寻找，不要停下来。你的心会知道你是否已经找到你的所爱。正如任何和谐的关系一样，当你找到了你的至爱，随着时间的推移，你们之间会越来越和谐。
我要讲的第三个故事有关死亡。
我17岁时读到过一句格言：“如果你将生命中的每一天都视作你生命的最后一天来过，终有一天，你会找到正确的人生道路。” 我对这句话印象深刻。从此以后，在过去的33年中，我每天早上对着镜子中的自己发问：“如果今天就是我生命的最后一天，我是否还会去做我今天计划中要做的事？”如果接连几天我的回答都是否定的，那我便知道我应该作出改变了。牢记“人终有一死”是我所获得的最重要的工具，它帮助我作出人生的选择。因为，人生中几乎任何一桩事情，如：期望、自尊、恐惧、困窘和失败，在死亡面前都会瞬间崩溃。“只做重要的事”，“人终有一死”，牢记这些是我所知晓的避免让自己陷入患得患失的最重要的方法。此时你已经孑然一身，因此你没有理由不去倾听自己内心的声音。大约一年前，我被诊断患癌症。某天早上，7点半，我去做扫描检查。仪器上清晰地显示我的胰腺部位有肿瘤。我根本都不知道胰腺是个什么东西。医生说：“我们几乎可以确定这是一种无法治愈的肿瘤。估计你的存活时间不会长于3－6个月。”医生建议我回家，将自己的事情料理好。这是医生对“回家等死”的专业用语。这意味着我原以为自己有10年的时间来教导我的孩子，而现在我只有几个月的时间了。也意味着要把家事安排妥当，使家人今后的生活尽可能轻松。这还意味着我要和所有人说再见。
一整天，我满脑子都是那个诊断结果。到了晚上，医生为我做活检。他们将内窥镜插入我的喉咙，再通过胃放入大肠。然后对我的胰腺部位进行针刺，从肿瘤上取下一些癌细胞。医生对我进行了麻醉。但是我的妻子陪伴在我身边。她告诉我，当医生在显微镜下观察癌细胞时，他们开始哭了。因为，我患的是一种极其罕见的胰腺癌，可以通过手术治愈。我接受了手术，现在，我没事了。
这是我与死亡最近距离的一次接触。我希望在未来的几十年里都不要比这一次更近。经历了这一切，我今天才能以更加确定的口吻和你们畅谈我的人生观。在此之前，死亡不过是一个有用的学术概念。
没有人想死。即使想去天堂的人也不希望赴死去那里。诚然，死亡是我们所有人共有的终点，没人逃的掉。死亡是生命唯一最好的发明创造。而事实上也只能是这样。死亡是生命变迁的催化剂，吐故纳新。现在，你们属于“新”。但是终有一天，就在不久的将来，你们也会成为“故”而被“吐”掉。很抱歉我使用了非常戏剧性的说法，但是这再真实不过了。
你们的时间是有限的。因此，不要浪费你们的时间去过别人的生活。不要陷入教条，即：按照别人的想法活出你的人生。不要让别人嘈杂的观点淹没你内心的声音。此外，最重要的是鼓足勇气，跟随你内心的声音，相信你的直觉。你的内心其实非常清楚你想成为什么样的人。除此之外都是次要的。
我年轻的时候，有一本妙不可言的杂志，叫作《地球全录》，是我们那一代人的圣经。它的创办人是Stewart Brand，就住在离这里不远的Menlo Park。这本杂志让生活充满诗意。那是60年代末，还没有个人电脑和桌面出版物。因此杂志的编辑工作全仰仗打字机、剪刀和立拍得。它类似于现在谷歌的纸书形式，只是比谷歌早了35年。这本杂志的观点极具理想主义色彩，并提供了许多灵巧的工具和伟大的主张。
Stewart 和他的团队在发行了数版后，时过境迁，他们最终停刊。然后到了70年代中期，我的时代到来。在他们最后一期杂志的封底上，有一张清晨乡间小路的照片，是那种有冒险精神的人搭便车的感觉。照片下方有一行字：“永保求知的欲望，永保率真的愚气”。这就是他们关张的告别语，“永保求知的欲望，永保率真的愚气”。我总是希望自己保持这样的状态。现在，在你们即将毕业揭开人生崭新篇章的时刻，这也是我对你们的寄语：永保求知的欲望，永保率真的愚气。
第五篇：乔布斯演讲（本站推荐）
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 failurewhich 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,那意味着你和其他人思考的结果一起生活。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——它们在某种程度上知道你想要成为什么样子，所有其他的事情都是次要的。
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, 有一本叫做―整个地球的目录‖振聋发聩的杂志，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, 他象诗一般神奇地将这本书带到了这个世界。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：这是理想主义的，其中有许多灵巧的工具和伟大的想法。
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.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（如果你有冒险精神的话，你可以自己找到这条路的），在照片之下有这样一段话：―保持饥饿,保持愚蠢。‖这是他们停止了发刊的告别语。―保持饥饿,保持愚蠢。‖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.保持饥饿，保持愚蠢。Thank you all very much.非常感谢你们
