Steve Jobs on life and death
乔布斯演讲《关于死亡》
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.
Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner vnt, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition.
They somehow already know what you truly want to become.
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.
【演讲】Steve Jobs谈“死”前人生
【演讲】Steve Jobs谈“死”前人生Steve Jobs:How to live before you die【演讲全文】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 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.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, its likely that no personal computer would have them. If I had never dropped out, I would have never dropped in on this calligraphy class, and personal computers might not have the wonderful typography that they do. Of course it was impossible to connect the dots looking forward when I was in college. But it was very, very clear looking backwards ten years later.Again, you can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something — your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life.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 usin 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 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 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. Ifyou 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, 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 I'm fine now.This was the closest I've been to facing death, and I hope its the closest I get for a few moredecades. 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翻译:史蒂夫乔布斯(Steve Jobs)在斯坦福大学2005年毕业典礼上的演讲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。
【SteveJobs】乔布斯的最后一句话
【SteveJobs】乔布斯的最后一句话他在56岁的胰腺癌中死于亿万富翁,这是他在病床上的最后一句话:“我在商业世界中达到了成功的巅峰。
在别人看来,我的生活是成功的缩影。
但是,除了工作,我没有什么快乐。
最后,财富只是我习以为常的生活现实。
就在这时,躺在病床上回忆起我的一生,我意识到所有的认可和我非常自豪的财富,在即将到来的死亡面前变得苍白,变得毫无意义。
你可以聘请某人为你开车,为你赚钱,但你不能让别人为你承担疾病。
可以找到丢失的物质。
但有一件事在失去时永远无法找到- “生命”。
当一个人进入手术室时,他会发现有一本书还没有读完- “健康生活书”。
无论我们现在处于生活的哪个阶段,随着时间的推移,我们将面临帷幕落下的那一天。
珍惜爱你的家人,爱你的配偶,爱你的朋友。
善待自己。
珍惜别人。
随着年龄的增长,因此我们逐渐意识到佩戴300美元或30美元的手表 - 他们都同时告诉我。
无论我们携带300美元还是30美元的钱包/手提包- 里面的钱都是一样的;无论我们驾驶15万美元的汽车还是30,000美元的汽车,道路和距离都是一样的,我们到达同一个目的地。
无论我们喝一瓶300美元还是10美元的酒 - 宿醉都是一样的;我们住的房子是300平方英尺还是3000平方英尺- 孤独是一样的。
你会意识到,你真正的内在幸福并非来自这个世界的物质事物。
无论你是先乘飞机还是经济舱,如果飞机倒塌- 你都会随波逐流......因此..我希望你能认识到,当你有伴侣,伙计,老朋友,兄弟姐妹,你聊天,笑,说话,唱歌,谈论东北西南或天堂和地球,......这是真正的幸福!!五个不可否认的生活事实:1.不要教育你的孩子致富。
教育他们快乐。
因此,当他们长大后,他们会知道事物的价值,而不是价格。
2.在伦敦获得最佳奖励的话......“把你的食物作为你的药物。
否则你必须吃药物作为你的食物。
”3.爱你的人永远不会把你留给别人,因为即使有100个理由放弃他或她会找到一个理由坚持下去。

乔布斯经典语录:活着就是为了改变世界英文版他的成就和人格魅力影响了一代人和整个世界,他就是拥有梦幻般传奇经历的苹果电脑公司的创始人斯蒂夫·乔布斯。
这个个人电脑领域的梦想家引领并改变了整个计算机硬件和软件产业。
这个精力充沛魅力无限的家伙同时也是一个很会鼓动人心的激励大师,甚至在他的平常对话中,经典的语句也常常脱口而出。
这里摘取了一些经典的乔氏语录,希望对你有所帮助。
Innovation distinguishes between a leader and a follower.领袖和跟风者的区别就在于创新。
Innovation has no limits. The only limit is your imagination. It's time for you to begin thinking out of the box. If you are involved in a growing industry, think of ways to become more efficient; more customer friendly; and easier to do business with. If you are involved in a shrinking industry – get out of it quick and change before you become obsolete; out of work; or out of business. And remember that procrastination is not an option here. Start innovating now!创新无极限!只要敢想,没有什么不可能,立即跳出思维的框框吧。
如果你正处于一个上升的朝阳行业,那么尝试去寻找更有效的解决方案:更招消费者喜爱、更简洁的商业模式。
史蒂夫-乔布斯(Steve Jobs)于2005年6月12日在斯坦福大学毕业典礼上的讲话
Barrons的博客--贝乐斯一定要找到你热爱的这是苹果创始人史蒂夫·乔布斯(Steve Jobs)于2005年6月12日在斯坦福大学毕业典礼上的讲话。
几年前,当我第一次读到这篇文章时就被深深的震撼了。
我把整个文章翻译了一遍。
时至今日,这篇文章仍然激励着我,去追随自己内心的想法,去做自己真正热爱的事。
这篇文章里的名句“Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish.”很难翻译。
“Hungry、Foolish”仅从字面上理解是“饥饿、愚蠢”的意思。
但我把这句话译成“保持渴望。
固执愚见。
”这里的Hungry,我理解是年轻人对新事物的渴望与好奇,虽然穷困饥苦却渴求新知。
就像史蒂夫·乔布斯年轻时一样,条件艰苦甚至真饿肚子却到处去学自己真正感兴趣的东西。
这里的Foolish,我理解是指年轻人的年少轻狂,不精于世故,出生牛犊不怕虎的一股蛮劲,蠢劲。
在老于世故的人看来,这当然是愚蠢。
但正是这种不知天高地厚,不懂人情世故的固执愚见,才让年轻人能开创与前人不同的事业。
一定要找到你热爱的我很荣幸能在今天与你们一起参加一个世界上最优秀的大学的毕业典礼。
我从来没有从大学毕业。
说实话,今天是我最离大学毕业最近的一次。
今天,我想给你们讲我生活中的三个故事。
就是这样。
没什么大不了的。
只是三个故事。
第一个故事是关于把我生活中过去的点点滴滴联系起来。
在过了最初的六个月后,我便从Reed学院辍学了。
但是,在我真正离开那里前,我又呆了大约18个月。
我为什么辍学呢?这一切在我出生前就开始了。
我的亲生母亲是一个年轻的未婚大学生。
她决定把我送给别人收养。
她坚持认为,我应该被有大学学历的人收养。
所以,一切本来都已经安排好了,我将会被一个律师和他的妻子收养。
但是当我出生以后,律师夫妇在最后一分钟决定他们真正想要的是一个女孩。
所以,我的养父母,本来是在等候的名单上的。
他们在半夜接到了一个电话,“我们有一个意料之外的男婴。

Steve Jobs:我的第三个故事是关于死亡
Steve Jobs:我的第三个故事是关于死亡。
我的第三个故事是关于死亡。
在17岁的时候,我读过一句格言:“如果你把每一天都当成你生命里的最后一天,你将在某一天发现原来一切皆在掌握之中。
”这句话从我读到之日起,就对我产生了深远的影响。
在过去的33年里,我每天早晨都对着镜子问自己:“如果今天是我生命中的末日,我还愿意做我今天本来应该做的事情吗?”当一连好多天答案都否定的时候,我就知道作出改变的时候到了。
提醒自己行将入土是我在面临人生中的重大抉择时,最为重要的工具。
因为所有事情——外界的期望、所有的尊荣、对尴尬和失败的惧怕——在面对死亡的时候,都将烟消云散,只留下真正重要的东西。
在我所知道的各种方法中,提醒自己即将死去是避免掉入畏惧的最好办法。
人赤条条地来,赤条条地走,没有理由不听从自己内心的呼唤。
大约一年前,我被诊断出癌症。
在早晨7:30我做了一个检查,扫描结果清楚地显示我的胰脏出现了一个肿瘤。
我当时甚至不知道胰脏究竟是什么。
医生告诉我,几乎可以确定这是一种不治之症,顶多还能活3~6个月。
大夫建议我回家把诸事安排妥当,这是医生对临终病人的标准用语。
这意味着我得把我今后10年要对子女说的话用几个月的时间说完;这意味着我得把一切都安排妥当,尽可能减少我的家人在我身后的负担;这意味着向众人告别的时间到了。
我整天都想着诊断结果。
那天晚上做了一个切片检查,医生把一个内诊镜从我的喉管伸进去,穿过我的胃进入肠道,将探针伸进胰脏,从肿瘤上取出了几个细胞。
我打了镇静剂,但我的太太当时在场,她后来告诉我说,大夫们从显微镜下观察了细胞组织之后,都哭了起来,因为那是一种非常罕见的,可以通过手术治疗的胰脏癌。
我接受了手术,现在已经康复了。
这是我最接近死亡的一次,我希望在随后的几十年里,都不要有比这一次更接近死亡的经历。
在与死神擦肩而过之后,我能够肯定地告诉你们以下事实:没人想死,即使想去天堂的人,也希望能活着进去。
死亡是我们每个人的人生终点站,没人能够成为例外。
Steve Jobs 在斯坦福大学的演讲
乔布斯的十大经验教训:倾听内心的声音从今往后数年时间里,我们的子孙将会询问,史蒂夫·乔布斯担任苹果公司首席执行官(CEO)时是什么样子。
他们会说:“乔布斯是最棒的CEO,他是什么样的?你从他身上学到了什么?”你的答案是什么?忽视此时此地的重要性是人类的本性。
那些在我们中间的伟人,看起来似乎很平常,因为他们和我们处于同一时空。
但是,千万别搞错,一旦史蒂夫·乔布斯离开我们,将会出现情感的井喷。
颂词将层出不穷。
届时,我们都会后悔,当初在他还活着的时候,我们没有觉醒,也没有重视。
在每一次重要讲话、电话业绩会议或是在YouTube上传的闲聊,他所分享的智慧将显得比以往明智10倍。
因为他离去了。
因此,现在停下来,回忆一下史蒂夫·乔布斯给予我们的经验教训如果我们一直愿意留心:1. 艺术与科学结合的创新最持久史蒂夫一直认为,苹果和历史上其他电脑公司(包括后PC时期)的最大区别在于,苹果公司一直努力将艺术和科学相结合。
乔布斯指出,Mac的创始团队成员背景各异,人类学、艺术、历史和诗歌都有。
这在令苹果公司的产品脱颖而出的过程中非常重要。
iPad和其他前前后后所有平板电脑的区别就在这里。
艺术和科学的结合是一个产品的外观和感觉,是它的灵魂。
但是,计算机科学家和工程师很难明白两者结合的重要性,因此任何企业都必须有一位能够了解其重要性的领导者。
2. 可以通过焦点小组创造未来管理理论的一个学派认为,如果你是面向消费者提供产品和服务,那么就得倾听消费者的心声。
史蒂夫·乔布斯认为这是浪费时间,他是最先如此认为的人之一。
现在的消费者并不总是明白自己想要什么,尤其是面对自己从未见过、听过或接触过的东西。
当苹果公司被证实将推出平板电脑时,许多人都曾心怀疑虑。
当听到这款产品的名字iPad时,Twitter上的网友拿它开了一天的玩笑。
但是当人们拿到手使用后,iPad就成了必需品。
他们不知道自己以前没有这玩意儿时是怎么过来的。

死亡与直觉(苹果电脑的CEO励志演讲)
死亡与直觉(苹果电脑的CEO励志演讲)苹果电脑的CEO斯蒂夫·乔布斯(SteveJobs)在斯坦福大学毕业典礼上的演讲时有这样一段话: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─在死亡来临时都将不复存在,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。
你已经一无所有了,还有什么理由不跟著自己的感觉走呢。
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瘤子,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;也就是说,把一切都安排妥当,尽可能不给家人留麻烦;也就是说,去跟大家诀别。
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叫了起来,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,现在好了。
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发明。
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,你们也会逐渐成为旧的,也会被淘汰。
对不起,话说得太过分了,不过这是千真万确的。
你们的时间都有限,所以不要按照别人的意愿去活,这是浪费时间。

He believes that if it is a growth industry, innovation is to make products more efficient, easier to use, easier to use. If it is a shrinking industry, innovation is to quickly withdraw from the original model, products and services become obsolete, not easy to use before quicklychange their own.Working with the best peopleSteve Jobs believes that the top ten employees of a start-up company determines the level of the company, because everyone should be able to afford one-tenth of the company's work. He also used the Beatles to do the power of the metaphor of the team: no major work can be a separate one, or two, three, four people to complete. In order to do things please, the work can not be done by a person alone, must find the ability to cooperate with extraordinary people. And ultimately the power of individual interaction generated by the aggregate, so that the overall strength will be far greater than the sum of the power of the individual.Focus on qualitySteve Jobs is a perfectionist. He believes that the perfect quality without a shortcut, must be excellent quality positioning to their own commitments, and unswervingly stick to it. When the requirements for their own higher, and concerned about all the details, the product will be different and others.Putting aesthetics into the productSteve Jobs knows the importance of aesthetics. In 1998,Steve Jobs realized that Apple products seem out of date, Steve Jobs held a meeting of Apple, and raised such a problem - the problem of Apple products is out there is no aesthetic factors.Understand consumer needs without grasping consumer feedbackJobs did not use the focus of the crowd on the program, on the contrary, he told the consumer, so that consumers say their needs. In response, Carl Howe, head of consumer research at Yankee Group, a market research firm, said Apple was doing well in understanding user needs.Connect related thingsApple has released independent innovation products, but also integrated their own ideas. IPod and iTunes for the perfect fusion, iPad and iPhone also with the application store for a good integration. Steve Jobs said: creativity is to connect all the relevant things together.Do not recruit recruited employeesIvy League graduates are not the only candidates to run the company. Steve Jobs has claimed that part of the factors that make the Macintosh a great product benefit from the fact that the staff involved in this product are musicians, poets andartists, and even zoologists and historians, coincidentally, Is the world's best computer scientists.Encourage others to think differentlyApple "alternative thinking" advertising campaign began in the late 90s, this activity has been one of the most effective activities. And this activity has also led to innovation and creativity, and this is exactly what Apple is.Not the pursuit of complexSimple is happy. Apple's designer Jonathan Ives (Jonathan Ives) confirmed this strategy: Apple is definitely trying to develop a simple application, because people like simple and clear.Sell a dream rather than a productJobs made people have the impression that Apple is not the product of the consumer itself, but the specific meaning of these products.关于乔布斯的英文简介。

It was different.早安欢迎来到苹果 1984年的年度股东大会Good morning and welcome to Apple's 1984 annual shareholders' meeting. 我要引用一首老诗作为这场大会的开端I'd like to open the meeting with part of an old poem,这首诗有20年的历史了作者是狄伦鲍伯狄伦about a 20-year-old poem, by Dylan. That's Bob Dylan."用笔写下预言的作家及评论者""Come writers and critics who prophesize with your pens"请张大眼睛好好看着这机会将一去不复返"and keep your eyes wide, the chance won't come again.""尘埃落定前一切都未成定论""And don't speak too soon for the wheel's still in spin"谁将留名青史一切言之尚早"and there's no telling who that it's naming.""失意之人终将胜利因为时代正处于变革之中""For the loser now will be later to win, for the times, they are a-changing." 乔布斯很喜欢狄伦因为他不仅仅是歌♥手Jobs loved Dylan maybe because he wasn’t just one thing.他也是一个擅于说故事的人He was a storyteller who could be他可以是他口中任何一个角色whatever we wanted him to be.我甚至听不懂"沿着了望塔" 这首歌♥是什么意思I don't even what know what All Along The Watchtower means.我认为这就是我听过最美最深刻I think it is one of the most beautiful, haunting,最出色的诗歌♥了对我来说就像乔布斯一样brilliant pieces of poetry ever.

It was a terminal,它连接到某处的一台大电脑which was connected to a big computer somewhere.这可能是未来他们会使用的控制器This is one of the consoles they might be using in the future.它看起来就像一台普通的打字机It looks very much like just a regular typewriter.在过去有太多机器Too often the equipment of the past是为了其它机器而设计的has sort of been designed for other machines.却不是为了人类而建造的They're really not for people.多年来我看着我的二手电脑它是一台惠普9100I saw my second computer a few years later, the Hewlett-Packard 9100. 这台9100电子计算机The 9100 computing calculator.外表非常庞大里面有很小的阴极射线显示器It was very large. Had a very small cathode ray tube on it for display.1968年的某次机缘我有幸能够玩玩这东西And I got a chance to play with one of those maybe in 1968.我开始参加I started going up惠普在帕多的研究实验室就在每周二晚上to Hewlett-Packard's Palo Alto research lab every Tuesday night,每次我一有空我就试着写程式and I spent every spare moment I had trying to write programs for it. 我当时完全着迷于其中I was so fascinated by this.当时有一个点选机器叫作滑鼠We have a pointing device called a mouse.我也不晓得为什么我们要取名为滑鼠I don't know why we call it a mouse.1968年滑鼠之父史丹佛道格恩格巴特By 1968, Stanford's Doug Engelbart, inventor of the mouse,提出一些新问题was asking new questions关于如何从本质上改变人类与电脑之间的关系about the essential nature of our changing relationship with computers. 在你的办公室里身为一名有智慧的员工If in your office, you as an intellectual worker公♥司♥给你一台电脑荧幕were supplied with a computer display一整天都待在电脑前面backed up by a computer that was alive for you all day你每下一个口令and was instantly responsible, responsive,它就一个动作instantly responsive to every action you had,你能够从中得到多少呢how much value could you derive from that?我们需要一盏明灯指引我们方向We needed a guide to help us navigate this new relationship.我成年之后的人生都花在创造电脑上面My whole adult life has been spent building personal computers.可以说是我的整个职涯包含副业的部份So, the history of my vocation and my avocations你知道我的成长过程也相去不远and, you know, my growing up are all the same,整个过程是很难完全区分开来的and it's very hard to separate one from the other.我来自于加州矽谷I come from a place called Silicon Valley, California,在那里电子小零件俯拾皆是and you'll find there are a lot of electronics kits around.我的电脑老师发现我很有这方面的天分My electronics teacher realized that I had a lot of computer ability 这远远超过于他能够在学校教我的that went beyond anything he could possibly teach me in school.他明白到我只要上学一天我就只是坐在那里一天He knew that as long as I was in class, I was just going to sit around, 只能对其他同学恶作剧playing pranks on the other students像是把一点发丝缠在电路上like wrapping little hair wires around certain circuits当他们一打开广播机器就会爆♥炸♥so when they plugged in their radio, it would blow up.史蒂夫沃兹尼克苹果共同创办人每当我回想起来As hard as I think about it,我想不出我朋友群中有不是科技迷的人I don't think I ever had one friend who was not one of the tech kids. 我认识沃兹时大概十二岁或十三岁左右I met Woz when I was maybe 12 years old, 13 years old.他是我第一个遇过比我知道还多电子知识的人He was the first person I met that knew more electronics than I did. 我和他一起做过的其中一件事就是建造了蓝盒子And one of the things that Woz and I did was we built blue boxes. 蓝色小盒子的秘密有天我在看杂♥志♥One day I picked up a magazine,我读到关于电♥话♥飞客及蓝盒子的报导and I started reading a story about phone phreaks and blue boxes. 电♥话♥飞客也能做生意电♥话♥飞客聚会的时候When phone phreaks have a convention,最近一次他们在破旧的纽约饭店宴会厅举♥行♥as they did in the ballroom of a seedy New York hotel lately,在门外发放面具没有人知道彼此的身份masks are given out at the door. People don't give their right names. 蓝盒子是一个非常特别的装置The blue box was a little device让每个人的电♥话♥都有不同频率that put special tones into anybody's phone调整这些频率可以让你想跟谁通话都可以and those tones would connect you anywhere you wanted.文章读到一半我立刻叫史蒂夫乔布斯过来Halfway through reading this, I called Steve Jobs over然后透过电♥话♥ 将报导念给他听and started reading it to him over the phone.这是一个能够将整个电♥话♥系统玩弄于手掌中的机会There's a way to fool the entire telephone system想想看你是台电♥话♥机into thinking you were a telephone computer然后你敞开自己的怀抱通话到全世界哪里都不是问题and to open up itself and let you call anywhere in the world for free. 你可以接听付费电♥话♥ 或打到纽约白原市You could call from a pay phone, go to White Plains, New York,通过卫星到欧洲take a satellite to Europe.可以绕世界一圈或打给隔壁的付费电♥话♥And you'd go around the world and call the pay phone next door.对着电♥话♥大吼三十秒Shout in the phone, be about 30 seconds,电♥话♥的另一端就会听到你的声音it'd come out the other end of the other phone.然后他会回"喂" 中间会落差一下"喂你好"And he's like, "Hello," There's a lag and, "Hello, how are you?""我很好" 你懂吗"I'm fine." You know?什么原因可能有人会问为什么会有人想这么做Why, one might wonder, would someone want to do that?敲电♥话♥公♥司♥的竹杠To rip off the phone company.我必须要补充说明这行为是违法的And these were illegal, I have to add.大学时期我有自己的蓝盒子它非常重要In college, I had a blue box of my own. It was important因为当时远距离通话是非常花钱的because long-distance phone calls were really expensive back then. 这也是这个男人人生中的转捩点It was also a way of sticking it to the man.对于乔布斯来说这件事情至关重要This would become an important selling point for Jobs, too,就算当初他将其它科技作品留给其他人even as he left the technical work to others.这个嘛我设计出蓝盒子Well, I had this blue box design.我在里面加了点戏法是我一生之中从来没有I did a trick in there that I've never done that good a trick在别的作品中变过的戏法in any other design in my life.接着史蒂夫乔布斯说"嘿为什么我们不卖♥♥出去"And Steve Jobs said, "Hey, why don't we sell them?"你知道的你可以很快的打电♥话♥给你想联♥系♥的人You know, you rapidly run out of people you want to call,不可思议的是这两个年轻人but it was the magic that two teenagers亲手造出了这个价值一百元美金的盒子could build this box for $100 worth of parts并控制了数以百计价值上亿的设施and control hundreds of billions of dollars of infrastructure包含了全世界的电♥信♥通话设备in the entire telephone network in the whole world.我们可以影响世界你懂吗We could sort of influence the world, you know?就像控制这个蓝盒子Control it, in the case of blue boxes,但比起控制还有更有强力的作法but something much more powerful than controlling.就像苹果公♥司♥的影响力这两者是十分相近的Influencing, in the case of Apple. And they're very closely related.我至今仍这么想I really do, to this day,如果当初我们没有创造出蓝盒子feel that if we hadn't had had those blue box experiences,那么就永远不会有苹果电脑公♥司♥there never would have been an Apple computer.我认为乔布斯一直都是名说故事的人I think Jobs was always a storyteller.大家都如此认为是他创造了这个角色There was always this sense that he was constructing a persona.我第一次坐下来和乔布斯讨论这件事情The first time I sat down with him to work on a story,他立即就问我有没有阅读过he immediately asked me if I had read汤马士孔恩的著作科学革命的结构Thomas Kuhn's "The Structure of Scientific Revolutions."我想这本书对他的个性影响非常多I think he was assimilating into this personality,他在孔恩书里看到的主张this notion that he had found in Kuhn.随机的结果最终造就了The random result that eventually creates每个人早上起来都可能会有模式上的转变a paradigm shift where everybody one morning wakes up,随时都会有新的点子and they think the new way.我认为他相信着他就是那个模式转变者And I believe that he thought that he was a paradigm shifter.这就是他故事的一部份他渴望在这两个世界立足That was part of his story. He wanted to have a foot in both worlds.他想要当叛逆份子又想要按照正统规矩来He wanted to be the renegade, but he also wanted to be legit.这是史蒂夫保罗乔布斯的影像纪录This is the video deposition of Steven P Jobs.我们早上九点22分开始录影We are on the record at 9:22am.我们可以先很快地过一次 1973年后你的工作资历吗Can we just sort of briefly go over your employment history after 1973? 我当时在雅达利公♥司♥上班专门做电动游戏I was employed by Atari, a maker of video games.-大概是什么时候 -我不知道 70年代早期吧-What timeframe? -I don't know. Early '70s.乓大部份的创意都没有准则Creativity is a lot about anarchy.诺兰布希内尔雅达利联合创办人我在电动游戏产业待了两年I had been in the video-game business two years当时我们的企业文化真的是"认真工作认真玩"and our corporate culture was really "work hard, play hard."也是苹果最初的原罪The true original sin of Apple在公♥司♥创立前就已经存在了literally takes place before the company is founded.乔布斯离开了里德学院现在他己经回到矽谷Jobs had left Reed College and now he was back in Silicon Valley.沃兹则在惠普上班Woz was working at HP.我就是一个书呆子I was such a nerd.当我完成白天在惠普的工作也就是设计计算机的程式后When I finished designing calculators at Hewlett-Packard in the daytime, 我就会进行我自己的专案计划I would work on my own little projects.我在保龄球场看到"乓" 然后我说I saw "Pong" in a bowling alley, and I said,"我懂逻辑设计我也了解电视机""I know logic design, and I know electronics of televisions.""我在我家的电视接上一条线然后就有了自己的乓""I'll use my home TV, snake a wire in," and I built myself a "Pong."史蒂夫从里德学院回来之后Steve came back from Reed College他看到我自己做的"乓"游戏and saw that I had built my own Pong game.让他有了灵感并在雅达利继续发展下去And so that gave him the idea to go down to Atari.他到了雅达利后向大家展示这个点子And he went down, and he showed them the board结果他搞砸了and he wound up with a job.史蒂夫进来后以他一贯的口吻说着Steve came in and said, in typical Steve Jobs fashion,"除飞你解雇我不然我哪里也不去""I'm not going to leave until you hire me."我非常感谢他的韧性他一旦决定了就火力全开And I really appreciated his intensity. He had one speed. Full on.我当时有一个专案没有人能够执行成功I had one little project that everyone kept turning down.这个专案叫作"突围"It was a project called "Breakout."最后我说"史蒂夫嘿把这做出来给我看"And finally I said, "Steve, hey, do this for me."在我的印象中In the back of my mind,我知道沃兹从惠普下班后常常过来这边I knew that Woz was coming over all the time after working at HP all day, 接着我就想"好吧把乔布斯排夜班吧"and I thought, "OK, I'll put Steve on the night shift.""如果沃兹也在场"Woz will come over.我就可以用单份薪水请到两个乔布斯"I'll get two Steves for the price of one."史蒂夫说"雅达利的诺兰布希内尔想要创新游戏"Steve said, "Nolan Bushnell of Atari wants another game built.""可是我们只有四天" 史蒂夫这么说But we only had four days, Steve said.用芯片做成的游戏跟写程式是不一样的When a game is made out of chips and it's not a program,四天简直就是不可能的任务这工程可以花上好几个月four days is, like, impossible. This is months' worth of work.设计的部分由我全权负责I did the entire design,接着史蒂夫会将我的设计变成电路板and then Steve would breadboard my design for a little while.我们四天四夜都没阖眼两个人都得了单核细胞传染症We were up four days and nights non-stop. Both got mononucleosis.最后我们创造了"突围"游戏交给雅达利And we got "Breakout" delivered to Atari,他们也买♥♥单了and they paid for it.游戏结束在那之后沃兹和我出去吃晚餐Later on, Woz and I were out to dinner.他跟我聊到"突围"He was talking about Breakout,我说"你知道的吧你们两个做得很不错"and I said, "Well, you know, you guys got paid pretty well for it."他一脸困惑地看着我我接着说He looked at me puzzled, and I said,"对啊我的意思是你们做得非常好""Yeah, I mean, you did such a good job.""我想你们至少可以赚到五千块美元的奖金""I think there was at least a $5,000 bonus that you guys got."所以没错公♥司♥付他七千元So, yeah, he was paid $7,000,但他告诉我其实只有七百元and he told me that we were paid $700,然后只给了我一张三百五十元的支票and he wrote me a check for $350.你知道吗我蛮难过的因为我们是朋友You know, and that hurts because we were friends.你竟然对朋友做出这种事And do you do that to a friend?如果他说"我需要这笔钱" 我可能会说"全部拿去吧"If he'd said, "I need the money," I would have said, "Take it all."我很高兴能参与这专案I was happy to be on the project.我觉得乔布斯...I think that Steve...是个非常有动力的人...was very driven所以他会经常寻找达到目标的捷径and would very often take shortcuts to achieve his goals.苹果就是一个喜剧节目一个持续了30年的喜剧节目Apple was a sitcom. It was a 30-year sitcom.史蒂夫则是其中的主要角色And Steve was the main character.这些笔记写于1976年12月This was written in December 1976.事实上他开头就写了"苹果是谁" 所以历史非常悠久In fact it starts out saying, "Who's Apple," so that was very early.麦金纳高科技行销顾问他和沃兹走了进来史蒂夫的长发已经长到背了He and Woz came in. Steve had long hair down his back.他留着胡志明市的那种胡子剪破的裤子和勃肯鞋He had a Ho Chi Minh beard, cutoffs, Birkenstocks.而沃兹尼克可能比他好一点但也没好多少And Wozniak was maybe a little bit upscale from that, but not much. 我以前很喜欢英特尔的广♥告♥I used to like Intel's advertising,有天我打给他们我说"你们的广♥告♥是谁做的"So I called them up one day, and I said, "Who does your advertising?" 他们说"这个嘛是麦金纳"They said, "Well, Regis McKenna." "What's a Regis McKenna?""麦金纳是什么东西" 他们说"不他是一个人"They said, "No, it's a person."沃兹尼克写了一篇苹果二代的技术文章Wozniak had a technical article on the Apple II.他希望我们试着将这篇文章刊在杂♥志♥上He wanted us to try to get it placed into a magazine.结果没人要读都是技术专业用语之类的Nobody could read it. It was all technical jargon and so forth.所以我告诉他我必须重写And so I told him I'd have to rewrite it,对此他不太高兴and he wasn't happy about that.他说"没有人可以重写我的东西"He said, "No one's going to rewrite my stuff."我说"好吧那么没什么我能够帮你的了"I said, "Well, then there's nothing I can do for you,"所以你可以离开了"so you might as well leave."史蒂夫后来打给我他差不多将我说服Steve called back, and he pretty much convinced me就是他才是我们要对付的人that he would be the person that we'd be dealing with所以沃兹尼克只会负责设计以及建立相关事务and that Wozniak would be designing and building things,这在很多生意上也很常见which is the way it happens in most businesses.工程师比较适合待在幕后The engineers are more back room你只能跟创业家或是行销人才合作and you work with either the entrepreneur or the marketing people.早期你曾经想过史蒂夫能成就大事吗Did you think early on that Steve could be the guy?毫无疑问和他相处几分钟后你就会知道了Oh, definitely. You just had to spend a few minutes with him and you knew it. 他有这份能力He had the ability侃侃而谈他的电脑未来能有哪些可能性to talk about the possibility of what this computer could be.我认为关键并非只有对产品高谈阔论而已And I think the key is not just talking about the product,而是提出一个点子一个怎么使用这产品的点子but giving you an idea of what is possible using this product以及下个世代会变成什么样子and what the next generation is going to be like.所以可以说是他给了人们下一步的可能性So he gives people this feeling of forward movement.-你有几台电子计算机 -两台大概吧-How many calculators do you own? -Two, maybe.好那你有用过电子出纳机器吗Right, and do you use the automatic bank-telling machines?-当然有 -在你学习这些事情时-Sure. -Life is already seducing you人生就己经在诱惑你了这种事情不会只发生一次into learning this stuff.

指出乔布斯非凡的成就源于其丰富的经历,而乔布斯将科学技术与人文科学和人性相结合是其产品成功的根本所在。
NOBODY else in the computer industry, or any other industry for that matter,could put on a show like Steve Jobs. His product launches,at which he would st and alone on a black stage and conjure up a “magical” or “incredible” new electron ic gadget in front of an awed crowd,were the performances of a master showma n. All computers do is fetch and shuffle numbers, he once explained, but do it fast eno ugh and “the results appear to be magic”。
He spent his life packaging that m agic into elegantly designed,easy to use products.He had been among the first, back in the 1970s,to see the potential that lay in the idea of selling computers to ordinary people。
In those days of green-on—b lack displays, when floppy discs were still floppy, the notion that computers might s oon become ubiquitous seemed fanciful. But Mr Jobs was one of a handful of pion eers who saw what was coming。

Steve Jobs on life and deathWhen 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 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 dieto 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.17岁的时候,我读到了一句格言,好像是:“如果你把每一天都当作生命中最后一天去生活的话,肯定有一天你会是正确的。
”这句话给我留下了深刻的印象。
自那以后,在过去的33年中我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,我会去做今天打算做的那些事吗?”每当答案连续多日都是“不会”的时候,我知道我该做些改变了。
提醒自己我即将死去,是帮我做出人生中许多重大抉择的最重要的工具。
因为几乎所有的一切——所有他人的期望、荣耀、面子问题和对失败的恐惧——这些在死亡面前都会消失殆尽,留下的是真正重要的东西。
提醒自己我将要死去,我认为是避免患得患失的最好办法。
你本来就一无所有,没有理由不顺心而为。
大约一年前,我被诊断出得了癌症。
我在早晨7点半做了扫描,扫描结果清楚地显示我的胰腺上长了一个肿瘤。
我当时甚至都不知道胰腺是什么东西。
医生告诉我,这基本上是一种无法治愈的癌症,我活在世上的时间不会超过3~6个月。
医生劝我回家,安排后事,这是医生让病人等死的婉言。
这意味着你要尽量把本来想在未来10年内对孩子们说的话在几个月里说完;意味着你要把一切安排妥当,让你的家人尽可能地轻松一点;意味着你要说“再见”了。
诊断结果让我想了一整天。
那天晚上晚些时候,我做了活组织切片检查。
医生将一个内窥镜从我的喉咙伸进去,通过我的胃,进入我的肠子,然后用一根针刺进我的胰腺,在肿瘤上提取了一些细胞。
我当时注射了镇定剂,但在场的妻子后来告诉我,医生在显微镜下观察这些细胞的时候,忽然叫了起来,因为我患的竟然是一种非常罕见的、可以用手术治愈的胰腺癌。
我做了手术,现在痊愈了。
那是我与死神擦肩而过的一次,我希望这也是以后几十年最接近死神的一次。
以前死亡对于我只是一个有用但抽象的概念,有了这次经历后,我现在可以更加确信地对你们说:没有人愿意死,即使人们想上天堂,也不会为了去那里而死。
但是死亡是我们每个人共同的归宿,无人幸免。
也应该如此,因为死亡很可能是生命惟一最好的发明。
它是生命变化更替的推动力。
它破旧立新。
你们现在是新人,但是不久的将来,你们会慢慢变老,然后被清除掉。
我很抱歉这很戏剧性,但事实就是这样。
你们的时间很有限,所以不要把时间浪费在重复他人的生活上。
不要受教条的束缚,因为那就意味着你依据别人的思想在生活。
不要让他人喋喋不休的意见淹没掉你自己内心的声音。
最重要的是,要勇于听从你内心的直觉。
可以说,内心的直觉早已知道你想要成为什么样的人,而其他一切都是次要的。
