Thank you。
I’m honored to be with you today for your commencement from one of the finest universities in the world。
Truth be told，I never graduated from college and this is the closest I've ever gotten to a college graduation.谢谢大家。
很荣幸能和你们，来自世界最好大学之一的毕业生们，一块儿参加毕业典礼.老实说，我大学没有毕业，今天恐怕是我一生中离大学毕业最近的一次了。
Today I want to tell you three stories from my life。
That's it. No big deal。
Just three stories.今天我想告诉大家来自我生活的三个故事。
没什么大不了的，只是三个故事而已。
The first story is about connecting the dots。
第一个故事，如何串连生命中的点滴。
I dropped out of Reed College after the first six months but then stayed around as a drop-in for another 18 months or so before I really quit. So why did I drop out？It started before I was born。
My biological mother was a young, unwed graduate student, and she decided to put me up for adoption。
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。

I dropped out of Reed College after the first six months but then stayed around as a drop-in for another 18 months or so before I really quit. So why did I drop out? It started before I was born. My biological mother was a young, unwed graduate student, and she decided to put me up for adoption. She felt very strongly that I should be adopted by college graduates, so everything was all set for me to be adopted at birth by a lawyer and his wife, except that when I popped out, they decided at the last minute that they really wanted a girl. So my parents, who were on a waiting list, got a call in the middle of the night asking, "We've got an unexpected baby boy. Do you want him?" They said, "Of course." My biological mother found out later that my mother had never graduated from college and that my father had never graduated from high school. She refused to sign the final adoption papers. She only relented a few months later when my parents promised that I would go to college.我在里得大学读了六个月就退学了，但是在18个月之后--我真正退学之前，我还常去学校。

史蒂夫乔布斯2005年斯坦福大学演讲(无论在何时都不要放弃梦想)
以下是Steve Jobs在2005年6月12日斯坦福大学毕业典礼上的演讲:——史蒂夫·乔布斯（Steve Paul Jobs）苹果电脑公司和皮克斯动画公司（Pixar）首席执行官。
很荣幸和大家一道参加这所世界上最好的一座大学的毕业典礼。
我大学没毕业，说实话，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：点与点的关系我在里德学院(Reed College)只读了六个月就退学了，此后便在学校里旁听，又过了大约一年半，我彻底离开。
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，那对夫妇却决定收养一名女孩。
就这样，我的养父母─ 当时他们还在登记册上排队等著呢─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？”“当然要”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，我的养父甚至连中学都没有毕业，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。
17 年后，我真的进了大学。
当时我很天真，选了一所学费几乎和斯坦福大学一样昂贵的学校，当工人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，我却看不出上学有什么意义。
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弄明白自己想干什么。
这时，我就要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，我就可以不再选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。
乔布斯2005年斯坦福大学毕业生演讲全文(中文版)
Steve Jobs 2005年斯坦福大学毕业生演讲全文Steve Jobs说，你得找出你爱的(You've got to find what you love.)。
今天，有荣幸来到各位从世界上最好的学校之一毕业的毕业典礼上。
我从来没从大学毕业。
说实话，这是我离大学毕业最近的一刻。
今天，我只说三个故事，不谈大道理，三个故事就好。
第一个故事，是关于人生中的点点滴滴怎么串连在一起。
我在里德学院（Reed college）待了六个月就办休学了。
到我退学前，一共休学了十八个月。
那么，我为什么休学？这得从我出生前讲起。
我的亲生母亲当时是个研究生，年轻未婚妈妈，她决定让别人收养我。
她强烈觉得应该让有大学毕业的人收养我，所以我出生时，她就准备让我被一对律师夫妇收养。
但是这对夫妻到了最后一刻反悔了，他们想收养女孩。
所以在等待收养名单上的一对夫妻，我的养父母，在一天半夜里接到一通电话，问他们“有一名意外出生的男孩，你们要认养他吗？”而他们的回答是“当然要”。
后来，我的生母发现，我现在的妈妈从来没有大学毕业，我现在的爸爸则连高中毕业也没有。
她拒绝在认养文件上做最后签字。
直到几个月后，我的养父母同意将来一定会让我上大学，她才软化态度。
十七年后，我上大学了。
但是当时我无知选了一所学费几乎跟史丹佛一样贵的大学，我那工人阶级的父母所有积蓄都花在我的学费上。
六个月后，我看不出念这个书的价值何在。
那时候，我不知道这辈子要干什么，也不知道念大学能对我有什么帮助，而且我为了念这个书，花光了我父母这辈子的所有积蓄，所以我决定休学，相信船到桥头自然直。
当时这个决定看来相当可怕，可是现在看来，那是我这辈子做过最好的决定之一。
当我休学之后，我再也不用上我没兴趣的必修课，把时间拿去听那些我有兴趣的课。
这一点也不浪漫。
我没有宿舍，所以我睡在友人家里的地板上，靠着回收可乐空罐的五先令退费买吃的，每个星期天晚上得走七哩的路绕过大半个镇去印度教的Hare Krishna神庙吃顿好料。

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. Sherefused to sign the final adoption papers. She only relented a few months later when my parents promised that I would go to college.我在里得大学读了六个月就退学了，但是在18个月之后--我真正退学之前，我还常去学校。

今天能够在世界上最优秀的高校之一参加各位的毕业典礼，我感到十分荣幸。
我本人没能从大学毕业。
说句实在话，今天要算我同大学毕业之间距离最近的一次了。
现在，我想给诸位讲三个我的人生故事。
是的，没什么大道理，只讲三个故事。
第一个故事是关于串起你生命中的点点滴滴。
我在里德学院念了6个月大学后就退学了，但随后我在学校旁听了18个月的课，然后才真正地辍学。
那么，我为什么要退学呢？故事要从我出生前说起。
我的亲生母亲是个未婚的大学研究生，她决定把我交给别人收养。
她很坚持我的养父母也应该是大学研究生，于是一切就这么安排好了：我出生后由一位律师和他的妻子领养。
但是就在我呱呱坠地的一刻，事情起了变化，律师夫妇突然宣布他们想收养的是女孩。
我爸和我妈当时正列在收养人候选名单上，于是他俩半夜接到一个电话说：“我们这儿出了个意外，有个男孩，你们要收养吗？”他俩说：“当然要。
”后来，我的亲生母亲发现，我妈大学没毕业而我爸甚至高中都没读完。
她于是拒绝在最后的收养协议上签字，直到拖了几个月后我爸妈承诺说将来一定送我读大学才算同意。
17年后，我果然上了大学。
可是，我天真地选择了一所差不多跟斯坦福一样贵的大学，我那劳工阶层的爸妈攒下的积蓄就成了我的大学学费。
念了6个月后，我看不出这种生活有什么价值。
对于我的人生，我不知道应该用它来做什么，我也不知道大学生活怎么能帮我解答这个问题。
于是我决定退学，相信这条路一定走得通。
这在当时是很恐怖的一件事，但是现在回首看去，这是我作过的最好的决定之一。
史蒂夫 乔布斯(Steve Jobs)在斯坦福大学2005年毕业典礼上的演讲
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.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. Sowhy 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 a nd 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 foodwith, 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 willsomehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something — your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life.My second story is about love and loss.I was lucky — I found what I loved to do early in life. Woz and I started Apple in my parents garage when I was 20. We worked hard, and in 10 years Apple had grown from just the two of us in a garage into a $2 billion company with over 4000 employees. We had just released our finest creation — the Macintosh — a year earlier, and I had just turned 30. And then I got fired. How can you get fired from a company you started? Well, as Apple grew we hired someone who I thought was very talented to run the company with me, and for the first year or so things went well. But then our visions of the future began to diverge and eventually we had a falling out. When we did, our Board of Directors sided with him. So at 30 I was out. And very publicly out. What had been the focus of my entire adult life was gone, and it was devastating.I really didn't know what to do for a few months. I felt that I had let the previous generation of entrepreneurs down - that I had dropped the baton as it was being passed to me. I met with 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 ofbeing 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. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it. And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking until you find it. Don't settle.My third story is about death.When I was 17, I read a quote that went something like: "If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you'll most certainly be right." Itmade 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 whenthey 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 more decades. Having lived through it, I can now say this to you with a bit more certainty than when death was a useful but purely intellectual concept:No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don't want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life's change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new. Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic, but it is quite true.Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma —which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.When I was young, there was an amazing publication called The Whole Earth Catalog, which was one of the bibles of my generation. It was created by a fellow named Stewart Brand not far from here in Menlo Park, and he brought it to life with his poetic touch. This was in the late 1960's, before personal computers and desktop publishing, so it was all made with typewriters, scissors, and pola roid cameras. It was sort of like Google inpaperback 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/news/2005/june15/jobs-061505. html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。

I am honored to be with you today at your commencement from one of the finest univers ities in the world. I never graduated from college. Truth be told, this is the closest I've e ver gotten to a college graduation. Today I want to tell you three stories from my life. T hat's it. No big deal. Just three stories.我今天很荣幸能和你们一起参加毕业典礼，斯坦福大学是世界上最好的大学之一。
我从来没有从大学中毕业。
说实话,今天也许是在我的生命中离大学毕业最近的一天了。
今天我想向你们讲述我生活中的三个故事。
不是什么大不了的事情,只是三个故事而已。
The first story is about connecting the dots.第一个故事是关于如何把生命中的点点滴滴串连起来。
I dropped out of Reed College after the first 6 months, but then stayed around as a drop-in for another 18 months or so before I really quit. So why did I drop out?我在Reed大学读了六个月之后就退学了,但是在十八个月以后——我真正的作出退学决定之前,我还经常去学校。

乔布斯在斯坦福大学2005年6月毕业典礼上的演讲
我17岁的时候曾经听过一句话：“把每一天当做你生命中的最后一天来对待，总有一天你会成功。
”这句话深深打动了我，从那之后的33年里，我每天早晨都会对着镜子问自己，如果这是我生命中的最后一天，我是否会做自己想做的事?尽管大多数时候的答案都是“不”，但我知道，我必须做出一些改变!
每当我想做出重大决定的时候，我都会用自己将不久于人世这个信息来激励斗志。
因为当你面对死亡的时候，无论别人对你有多大的期望，你有多么傲人的成绩，又或是你出过多大的丑，都不重要。
那时，你真正需要考虑的是那些最重要的事。
清楚知道你剩下的日子，你就会明白应该大胆尝试，无论这条路有多难。
既然即将失去你最宝贵的生命，那为什么不趁机好好成全一下自己呢?
大约一年前，我被诊断出癌症。
早上7点半，我做了一次检查，清楚地显示出胰腺上长了个肿瘤。
在那之前，我甚至不知道胰腺是什么东西。
医生告诉我这种癌症几乎无法治愈，而我应该只剩下3到6个月的生命。
他们建议我回家好好休息并安排好所有事，意思就是说我离死不远了。
我需要把自己在未来10年想和孩子们说的话，在这短短几个月里全说完。
也意味着我需要把家里的事情交代清楚，不会遗留
下麻烦，同时，我也是时候和好友告别了。
傍晚时分，我接受了一次活组织切片检查。
他们从喉咙插入内窥镜，通过我的胃进入肠子里，然后在胰腺上扎了一针，取出一些肿瘤细胞。
我很冷静，但是当时陪着我的妻子告诉我说，当医生在显微镜下观察细胞时，他们兴奋地尖叫了起来。
因为我所患的是一种极罕见的能通过手术治愈的胰腺癌。
于是，我做了手术，现在康复了!
这是我与死神离得最近的一次，也希望我这未来几十年里不要再有这样的事发生。
经过这次磨难，我可以更加肯定地告诉你们，死亡是一个很有用且很考验人的讯息：没人想死，即使有人认为死后可以上天堂。
但其实，死亡是每个人共同的终点。
这就是生命的规律。
死亡很可能是生命中最好的发明，它是生命的促变者，它送走老一代，给新一代开出道路。
如今，你们就是新的一代，但在不久的将来，你们也会成为老一代，被生命送走。
非常抱歉我说的话有点悲观，但这是不争的事实。
我们拥有的时间并不多，所以别把它浪费在别人的生命里。
不要被教条束缚，因为那些观念不属于你自己。
别让其他人的意见掩盖了你内心的声音，你要有勇气听从你直觉和心灵的指引。
因为，只有你才能真正清楚自己的想法，其他人只是起辅助作用。
我小时候曾看过一本有名的读物《整个地球的目录》(《The Whole Earth Catalog》)，这本书可以说是我那一代圣经级的读物。
这本书的作者Stewart Brand，住在离这不远的门洛帕克镇(Menlo Park)。
他的生命里充满了诗歌般的写意。
当时是60年代末，还没有个人电脑及台式印刷系统。
因此，这本书是借助打字机、剪刀及偏光镜完成的。
有点像谷歌的平装书，但要比它早35年。
这本书充满了幻想色彩，并夹带了许多新奇的事物与想法。
Stewart和他的团队总共出版了好几期《整个地球的目录》，完成了自己使命的时候，他们推出了最后一刊。
当时是70年代中了，而我就像你们这么大。
最后一期的封底配着一张清晨乡间小路的照片，有点像你们玩大冒险的时候结伴同游的那种小道。
这张照片下面还有文字说明，“求知若饥，虚心若愚”，这是Stewart团队送给读者的离别赠言。
