乔布斯斯坦福演讲：Love and Loss—Steve Jobs
Love and Loss—作者Steve JobsMy 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 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 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. And 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 stilll 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 wifePixar 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 Iguess the patient needed it.Sometimes life is gonna 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 gonna 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 havent 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.。
乔布斯在斯坦福演讲：人生三个故事英语原文
乔布斯斯坦福大学演讲英文原文Stanford Report, June 14, 2005…You‟ve got to find what you love,‟ Jobs saysThis 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. 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 unexpecte d 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 ca pture, 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 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 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 retuned 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 h its 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.” 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 cho ices in life. Because almost everything – all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure – these things just fallaway 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 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.You r 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 other‟s opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most importan t, 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.。

After graduating from high school, Jobs enrolled at Reed College in Portland, Oregon.

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。

three stories of steven jobs
The first story is about connecting the dotsOf course it was impossible to connect the dots looking forward when I was in course but it was very very clear looking backwards ten years later Again you cant connect the dots looking forward ,you can only connect them looking backwardsSo you have to trust the dots will somehow connect in your future You have to trust in sth Your gut,destiny,karma whatererBecause believing that these dots would connect down the road will give you the confidence to follow your heart.even when it leads you off the well-worn parth.and that will make all the difference.My second story is about love and lossSometimes 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 was 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 works is to love what you do If you haven’t found if 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 Don’t settleMy third story is about deathIf you live each day as if it was your last someday you will 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 was 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 sth Remembering that I’ll be dead soon is the most impornt tool I’ve ever encountered to help me make the big choices in the 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 truy important Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have sth to lose You are already naked There is no reason not to follow your heartNo 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 vert likelythe single best invention of life It is Life’s 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 Everyting else is secondaryStay hungry stay foolish。

Steve Jobs斯坦福演讲
Steve Jobs斯坦福演讲Steve Jobs在Stanford的这段演讲十分感人，他用了他人生中的三个传奇故事，向斯坦福的毕业生，也向所有其他人讲述了他对人生的思考。
今天，我很荣幸来到世界一流的大学毕业典礼。
我没有从大学毕业，老实说，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，就这三个故事。
第一个故事，是人生的点点滴滴如何串在一块 (Connecting the dots)我在里德学院(Reed College)念了六个月就办休学了。
退学前，一共休学十八个月。
我为什么要休学呢?故事要从我出生前谈起。
我的亲生母亲是大学研究生，年轻的未婚妈妈，她打算让别人收养我，更相信应该让拥有大学学历的夫妇收养我，我出生时，她就准备由一对律师夫妇来抚养我长大。
但这对夫妻最后一刻反悔了，他们想要女孩。
所以在等待收养名单中的一对夫妻，在半夜接到一通电话，问他们：“有一个意外出生的男孩，你们要认养他吗?”他们说：“当然。
”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签名同意。
直到几个月后，我的养父母同意将来一定让我上大学，她才勉强答应。
十七年后，我真的上了大学。
但我无知的选择一所学费几乎跟史丹佛（Stanford）一样贵的学校。
我的蓝领阶级父母，把所有的存款都花在我的学费。
六个月后，我看不出念大学的价值到底在哪里。
那时候，我不知道这这辈子要干什么，也不知道念大学对我有什么帮助，而且我为了读书，花光父母毕生的积蓄，我决定休学，相信船道桥头自然直。
在那个时候，这是让人害怕的决定；但我现在看来，却是我这辈子下过最好的决定之一。
休学后，再也不用上无趣的课，直接听我爱的课。
只是这一点也不浪漫。
我没有宿舍，我睡在朋友家的地板上，靠回收可乐瓶罐的五毛钱填饱肚子，到了星期天晚上走七哩远的陆，绕去印度教神庙吃顿大餐。
但那时我追寻的兴趣，现在看来都成为无价之宝。
比如说，里德学院拥有几乎是全国最好的英文书法(Caligraphy)课程。

In the Stanford University commencement, he told about his family background and his seeking studying experience.

Under the double pressure of the little value of the college and the expensive tuition, he decided to drop out to learn what he wanted and interested.

You‘vegottofindwhatyoulove--SteveJobs
You‘vegottofindwhatyoulove--SteveJobsYou’ve got to find what you loveJobs (史蒂夫·乔布斯)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。
第一个故事是关于如何把生命中的点点滴滴串连起来。
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。
我为什么要退学呢?故事从我出生的时候讲起。
我的亲生母亲是一个年轻的,没有结婚的大学毕业生。
她决定让别人收养我, 她十分想让我被大学毕业生收养。
所以在我出生的时候，她已经做好了一切的准备工作，能使得我被一个律师和他的妻子所收养。
但是她没有料到,当我出生之后, 律师夫妇突然决定他们想要一个女孩。
所以我的生养父母（他们还在我亲生父母的观察名单上）突然在半夜接到了一个电话:“我们现在这儿有一个不小心生出来的男婴,你们想要他吗？”他们回答道: “当然！”但是我亲生母亲随后发现，我的养母从来没有上过大学,我的父亲甚至从没有读过高中。
她拒绝签这个收养合同。
只是在几个月以后,我的父母答应她一定要让我上大学,那个时候她才同意。
在十七岁那年,我真的上了大学。
但是我很愚蠢的选择了一个几乎和你们斯坦福大学一样贵的学校, 我父母还处于蓝领阶层，他们几乎把所有积蓄都花在了我的学费上面。
在六个月后, 我已经看不到其中的价值所在。
我不知道我想要在生命中做什么,我也不知道大学能帮助我找到怎样的答案。
但是在这里，我几乎花光了我父母这一辈子的所有积蓄。
所以我决定要退学,我觉得这是个正确的决定。
不能否认,我当时确实非常的害怕, 但是现在回头看看,那的确是我这一生中最棒的一个决定。
在我做出退学决定的那一刻, 我终于可以不必去读那些令我提不起丝毫兴趣的课程了。

大学英语资料：Steve Jobs--Imitated, Never Duplicated
Steve Jobs: Imitated, Never DuplicatedWednesday evening, Apple broke the news that Steve Jobs had died.Since that moment, tributes, eulogies and retrospectives have poured over the world like rain. He changed industries, redefined business models, fused technology and art. People are comparing him to Thomas Edison, Walt Disney, Leonardo da Vinci. And they’re saying that it will be a very long time before the world sees the likes of Steve Jobs again.Probably true. But why not, do you suppose?After all, t here are other brilliant marketers, designers and business executives. They’re all over Silicon Valley — all over the world. Many of them, maybe most of them, have studied Steve Jobs, tried to absorb his methods and his philosophy. Surely if they pore over the Steve Jobs playbook long enough, they can re-create some of his success.But nobody ever does, even when they copy Mr. Jobs’s moves down to the last eyebrow twitch. Why not?Here’s a guy who never finished college, never went to business school, never worked for anyone else a day in his adult life. So how did he become the visionary who changed every business he touched? Actually, he’s given us clues all along. Remember the “Think Different” ad campaign he introduced upon his return to Apple in 1997?“Here’s to the crazy ones. The rebels. The troublemakers. The ones who see things differently. While some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius.”In other words, the story of Steve Jobs boils down to this: Don’t go with the flow.Steve Jobs refused to go with the flow. If he saw something that could be made better, smarter or more beautiful, nothing else mattered. Not internal politics, not economic convention, not social graces.Apple has attained its current astonishing levels of influence and succ ess because it’s nimble. It’s incredibly focused. It’s had stunningly few flops.And that’s because Mr. Jobs didn’t buy into focus groups, groupthink or decision by committee. At its core, Apple existed to execute the visions in his brain. He oversaw every button, every corner, every chime. He lost sleep over the fonts in the menus, the cardboard of the packaging, the color of the power cord.That’s just not how things are done.Often, his laser focus flew in the face of screamingly obvious common sense. He wanted to open a chain of retail stores —after the failure of Gateway’s chain had clearly demonstrated that the concept was doomed.He wanted to sell a smartphone that had no keyboard, when physical keys were precisely what had made the BlackBerry the most popular smartphone at the time.Over and over again, he took away our comfy blankets. He took away our floppy drives, our dial-up modems, our camcorder jacks, our non-glossy screens, our Flash, our DVD drives, our removable laptop batteries.How could h e do that? You’re supposed to add features, not take them away, Steve! That’s just not done!(Often, I was one of the bellyachers. And often, I’d hear from Mr. Jobs. He’d call me at home, or when I was out to dinner, or when I was vacationing with my famil y. And he’d berate me for not seeing his bigger picture. On the other hand, sometimes he’d call to praise me for appreciating what he was going for. A C.E.O. calling a reviewer at home? That’s just not done.)Eventually, of course, most people realized that he was just doing that Steve Jobs thing again: being ahead of his time.Eventually, in fact, society adopted a cycle of reaction to Apple that became so predictable, it could have been a “Saturday Night Live” skit.Phase 1: Steve Jobs takes the stage to introduce a new product.Phase 2: The tech bloggers savage it. (“The iPad has no mouse, no keyboard, no GPS, no USB, no card slot, no camera, no Flash!? It’s dead on arrival!”)Phase 3: The product comes out, the public goes nuts for it, the naysayers seem to disappear into the earth.Phase 4: The rest of the industry leaps into high gear trying to do just what Apple did.And so yes, there are other geniuses. There are other brilliant marketers, designers and business executives. Maybe, once or twice in a million, those skills even coincide in the same person.But will that person also have the vision? The name “Steve Jobs” may appear on 300 patents, but his gift wasn’t invention. It was seeing the promise in some early, clunky technology — and polishing it, refining it and simplifying it until it becomes a standard component. Like the mouse, menus, windows, the CD-ROM or Wi-Fi.Even at Apple, is there anyone with the imagination to pluck brilliant, previously unthinkable visions out of the air — and the conviction to see them through with monomaniacal attention to detail?Suppose there were. Suppose, by some miracle, that some kid in a garage somewhere at this moment possesses the marketing, invention, business and design skills of a Steve Jobs. What are the odds that that same person will be comfortable enough — or maybe uncomfortable enough —to swim upstream, against the currents of social, economic and technological norms, all in pursuit of an unshakable vision?Zero. The odds are zero.Mr. Jobs is gone. Everyone who knew him feels that sorrow. But the ripples of that loss will widen in the days, weeks and years to come: to the people in the industries he changed. To his hundreds of millions of customers. And to the billions of people touched more indirectly by the greater changes that Steve Jobs brought about, even if they’re unaware of it.In 2005, Steve Jobs gave the commencement address to the graduating students at Stanford. He told them the secret that defined him in every action, every decision, every creation of his tragically unfinished life:“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 sec ondary.”/2011/10/06/steve-jobs-imitated-never-duplicated/?scp=2&sq=stev e%20jobs&st=cse。

STEVE JOBS READING COURSE
The Love Story of Steve Jobs
Jobs valued his privacy, but some details of his romantic and family life have been uncovered. In the early 1980s, Jobs dated the folk singer Joan Baez, according to Deutschman.
In 1989, Jobs spoke at Stanford's graduate business school and met his wife, Laurene Powell, who was then a student. When she became pregnant, Jobs at first refused to marry her. It was a near-repeat of what had happened more than a decade earlier with then-girlfriend Brennan, Deutschman said, but eventually Jobs relented.
Jobs started looking for his biological family in his teens, according to an interview he gave to The New York Times in 1997. He found his biological sister when he was 27. They became friends, and through her Jobs met his biological mother. Few details of their relationships have been made public.
But the extent of Apple secrecy didn't become clear until Jobs revealed in 2004 that he had been diagonosed with — and "cured" of — a rare form of operable pancreatic cancer called an islet cell neuroendocrine tumor. The company had sat on the news of his diagnosis for nine months while Jobs tried trumping the disease with a special diet, Fortune magazine reported in 2008.
In the years after his cancer was revealed, rumors about Jobs' health would spark runs on Apple stock as investors worried the company, with no clear succession plan, would fall apart without him. Apple did little to ease those concerns. It kept the state of Jobs' health a secret for as long as it could, then disclosed vague details when, in early 2009, it became clear he was again ill.
Jobs took a half-year medical leave of absence starting in January 2009, during which he had a liver transplant. Apple did not disclose the procedure at the time; two months later, The Wall Street Journal reported the fact and a doctor at the transplant hospital confirmed it.
In January 2011, Jobs announced another medical leave, his third, with no set duration. He returned to the spotlight briefly in March to personally unveil a second-generation iPad .
In 2005, following the bout with cancer, Jobs delivered Stanford University's commencement speech.
"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," he said. "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."
