乔布斯斯坦福大学毕业典礼演讲:求知若渴,虚心若愚【完整版】
史蒂夫·乔布斯在斯坦福大学毕业典礼上的演讲稿
史蒂夫·乔布斯在斯坦福大学毕业典礼上的演讲稿我当时没有觉察,但后来发现,被苹果公司解雇可能是我这辈子发生的最好的事情。
一个成功者的包袱没有了,有的只是一个初出茅庐者的轻松感觉,我对各种事情也不再那么胸有成竹。
这让我轻装上阵,进入了我生命中最有创造力的阶段之一。
今天,我很荣幸能来到贵校这所世界顶尖大学,参加你们的毕业典礼。
我没有念完大学。
老实说,今天是我一生中最接近大学毕业的日子。
今天我想告诉你们我生活中的三个故事,仅此而已。
不是什么大不了的事情,只是三个故事。
第一个故事是关于串连起生活的点滴我在里德大学读了六个月之后就退学了,但之后我又像在校生一样读了十八个月左右才彻底退学。
那么,我为什么要退学呢?这要从我出生前讲起。
我母亲生我的时候还是一个年轻、未婚的在校研究生,所以她决定让别人收养我。
她十分希望收养者是大学毕业生,并办妥了一切,我出生后就会由一位律师和他的妻子收养。
意外的是,我出生后,那对夫妻突然变卦,说他们其实想要一个女孩。
于是,当时还在等待名单上的我的养父母在半夜接到了一个电话,问他们说:“我们这儿有一个未婚出生的男婴,你们想要他吗?”他们回答:“当然要。
”但是,随后我的生母发现,我的养母从来没有上过大学,我的养父甚至连高中都没读完。
她拒绝签订收养合同。
几个月以后,我的养父母承诺一定会让我上大学,她才让步。
十七年之后,我真的上了大学。
但是,我很幼稚地选择了一所学费几乎和你们斯坦福一样贵的学校。
我父母是工薪阶层,他们倾尽积蓄,支付了我的学费。
过了六个月,我却看不到这笔钱的价值。
我不知道我想要做什么,也不知道大学会怎样帮我找到答案,而我却在浪费着我父母一辈子的积蓄。
所以我决定退学,并坚信这是个正确的决定。
我当时非常害怕,但是现在回头看,那是我一生中最棒的决定之一。
一退学,我就可以不去读那些我不感兴趣的必修课,并开始上那些看起来很有意思的课程。
我给你们举个例子:当时,里德大学的书法课也许是全国最好的。
乔布斯《求知若饥,虚心若愚》励志演讲稿
乔布斯《求知若饥,虚心若愚》励志演讲稿大家好,今天我要和大家分享的是一位伟大的企业家和思想家乔布斯的励志演讲。
乔布斯在自己的人生中经历了许多起伏,但他始终保持着一颗渴望学习、虚心求教的心。
今天,我想通过乔布斯的讲话,向大家展示一个追求卓越、不断进取、不断开拓的精神面貌。
求知若饥乔布斯曾经说过:“求知若饥,虚心若愚”,他的内心充满了对知识的渴望。
他不断地学习,不断地探索,不断地尝试,并最终成就了自己。
他懂得一个道理,就是在现代社会中,只有不断学习才能不被淘汰。
“求知若饥”的意思是,我们要像有饥饿感的人一样受到学习的驱动、受到探索的热情,展现出自己的才智。
在此过程中,我们要保持敏锐的洞察力、对事物的好奇心、对生活的热情,才能真正学到知识、成长成才。
当然,求知也不是一蹴而就的事情,需要乐于探索、不怕失败。
乔布斯自己曾多次经历失败,但他从不放弃,反而将每次失败当作一个新的起点,加倍努力达成目标。
失败不是终点,而是进步的根源。
所以,谁在求知、学习的路上,一定要经常抛却怨言,坚持自己的信念、梦想,尽管路途充满挫折,但总会看到阳光出现,看到风景优美的大道在前方延伸。
虚心若愚在进行求知的旅程中,乔布斯永远保持着“虚心若愚”的态度。
他不仅和同行交流思路,研究市场情况,还会去寻找更专业的技术人士、更优秀的同行进行交流学习。
他深知一个人往往存在种种局限性,有时候,只凭个人的知识和想法是很难做出完美的决策。
所以他常常可以和团队进行深入交流、探讨,寻找问题解决的方法和最佳方案,改进自己的理念和逻辑。
在这个过程中,他不会因为别人跟他的思路不一样而放弃原先的想法,也不会固执己见,而是带着谦虚、好奇的心态,尝试站在对方角度想问题。
这让他扩大了视野,发现了更多的创新点和新思路“虚心若愚”的思想告诉我们,成熟的思考和决策是需要建立在广阔眼界和全面沟通基础之上。
一个人要真正领略到知识的无限魅力,需要认识到自己与他人的局限性,用心真实的倾听思考,接纳其他人的专业意见并运用自己的技能和智慧解决问题。
求知若渴虚心若愚----乔布斯2005演讲
史蒂夫·乔布斯在斯坦福大学毕业典礼上的演讲(2005年)文/史蒂夫·乔布斯译/xiaoma今天,能在这所世界上最好的大学之一参加你们的毕业典礼,我感到很荣幸。
说实话,我自己从来没有从大学毕业,那么今天恐怕是我一生中最接近大学毕业的一天了。
在此,我只想向你们讲述我生命中的三个故事。
不是什么惊天动地的事情,只是三个我自己的故事而已。
第一个故事是关于如何把生命中点点滴滴的经历联系起来。
我在里德学院(美国一所著名的私立大学)读了六个月之后就退学了。
但是在那以后的十八个月里,我还留在学校里。
十八个月后,我才彻底地离开那里。
我为什么要退学呢?故事要从我出生的时候讲起。
我的生母是一个年轻的未婚大学毕业生,在我出生之前,她决定让别人收养我。
她当时非常希望我能被大学毕业生收养,所以在我出生的时候,她已经联系好了一个律师的家庭来收养我。
但是当我出生之后,那对律师夫妇突然决定他们想要一个女孩。
所以医院连夜联系了我现在的养父母。
他们说:“我们现在这儿有一个男婴等着领养,你们想要他吗?”他们回答道:“当然!”但是后来我生母的拒绝签这个领养合同,因为她发现我的养母从来没有上过大学,我的养父甚至从未完成高中学业。
经过几个月的协商,我的养父母许诺一定会让我上大学,我的生母这才最终妥协了。
在我十七岁那年,我上了大学。
天真的我选择了一个几乎和斯坦福大学一样贵的私立学校。
我蓝领阶层的养父母履行了他们的承诺,把所有的积蓄都拿给我做学费,那是一笔巨大的投资。
但是仅仅过了六个月,我就意识到这笔投资毫无价值。
我还不知道我这一生到底想做什么,我也看不出这样的大学生活能够帮我找到答案。
而于此同时,我在一点一点地花光我父母这一辈子的所有积蓄。
所以我决定退学,并坚定的相信那是个正确的决定。
说实话,我当时确实非常害怕,但是现在看来,那的确是我这一生中最棒的一个决定。
从我退学的那一刻起,我终于可以不需要去选那些无聊的必修课程,而有时间去旁听一些我真正感兴趣的东西。

乔布斯在斯坦福大学的演讲稿[中英]苹果计算机公司CEO史蒂夫•乔布斯6.14在斯坦福大学对即将毕业的大学生们进行演讲时说,从大学里辍学是他这一生做出的最为明智的一个选择,因为它逼迫他学会了创新。
乔布斯对操场上挤的满满的毕业生、校友和家长们说:“你的时间有限,所以最好别把它浪费在模仿别人这种事上。
” --同样地,如果还在学校的话,似乎不应该去模仿退学的牛人们。

每周日晚上,我都会步行七英里,穿越城市到HareKrishna神庙,去免费饱餐一顿。
我喜欢那里的饭菜。
后来我发现,先前追随好奇和直觉而经历的种种遭遇其实是无价之宝。
乔布斯2005年斯坦福高中毕业演讲(中英文完整版)
乔布斯2005年斯坦福高中毕业演讲(中英文完整版)乔布斯2005年斯坦福大学毕业演讲(中英文完整版)中文版亲爱的毕业生们,大家好!首先,请允许我向你们表示最热烈的祝贺,因为你们终于毕业了!(掌声)你们终于走出了这所美丽的校园,迎接未知的人生。
今天,我很荣幸能够与你们分享一些我个人的经历和思考。
我们需要从一个专业问题开始。
在之前的许多年里,我一直对死亡有一种直接而深入的了解,它不是从书本上获得的,而是从我与死亡如此之近的亲密接触中得到的。
这是我人生中非常特殊的一段经历。
在以下的十二个月里,我被诊断出患上了胰脏癌晚期。
医生告诉我,我只剩下六个月的寿命。
这个消息让我感到震惊、悲伤和绝望,所有曾经认为重要的东西都变得微不足道了。
在面临死亡的事实时,我开始思考生命的意义和价值。
我曾经问自己,如果今天是我生命的最后一天,我还会做我今天要做的事情吗?引发这个问题的常常是自己对无关紧要的事情的抱怨和牢骚。
当我面对死亡时,我意识到我所面临的问题只是琐碎的细节,对于生命的意义没有任何贡献。
过去33年里,我每天早晨都会照镜子告诉自己:“如果今天是生命的最后一天,我还是要做我今天要做的事情吗?”每当我的回答是“不”太多次时,我就知道我需要做出调整,重新寻找自己的激情和目标。
记住即将去世的事实,是我人生中最重要的教训之一。
当我意识到生命随时都可能终结时,我变得更加勇敢、不怕面对困难和失败。
因为,几乎所有的外部期望和自尊都变得毫无意义,唯有内心的声音才是至关重要的。
曾经,有一段时间,还是个十九岁的学生,我读到了一句名言,深深触动了我。
这句话是:“如果你活在别人的意见中,你的内心永远不会安宁。
”言归正传,让我简要地谈谈关于成功和失败的问题。
我曾经被辞退了公司创办人的职位,这对我来说是一次巨大的失败,而那时我才刚满三十岁。
当时我觉得自己崩溃了,但事实证明,这是对我人生最好的事情之一。
看起来不成功的事情变成了成功的机会,并让我追求我真正热爱的事业。
乔布斯《求知若饥,虚心若愚》励志演讲稿
乔布斯《求知若饥,虚心若愚》励志演讲稿今天,很荣幸来到这所世界上最好的学校之一的着名学校,参加毕业典礼。
我从来没从大学毕业过,说实话,这是我离大学毕业最近的一刻。
今天,我只说3个故事,不谈大道理,3个故事就好。
第1个故事,是关于人生中的点点滴滴如何串连在一起。
我在锐意得学院待了6个月就办休学了。
到我退学前,一共休学了18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,年轻的未婚妈妈,她决定让别人收养我。
她强烈觉得,应该让已经毕业的人收养我,所以我出生时,她就准备让一对律师夫妇收养我。
但是这对夫妻到了最后一刻反悔了,他们想收养女孩。
所以我必须等待收养名单上的另一对夫妻,也就是我后来的养父母。
有一天半夜,他们接到一个电话,“有一名意外出生的男孩,你们要认养他吗”,他们回答“当然要”。
但是我的生母发现,我的养母从来没有大学毕业过,我现在的爸爸则连高中毕业文凭也没有,所以她拒绝在送养文件上做最后签字。
直到几个月后,我的养父母保证将来一定会让我上大学,我生母的态度才软化。
2019年后,我上大学了。
但是当时我无知地选了一所学费几乎跟斯坦福的一样贵的大学,我那工人阶级的父母将所有积蓄都花在我的学费上。
6个月后,我看不出念这个学院的价值何在。
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,只知道我为了念这个书,花光了我父母这辈子所有积蓄。
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,那是我这辈子做过的最棒的决定之一。
我休学之后,我再也不用上我没兴趣的必修课了,我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,靠着回收空可乐罐的5分钱退费买吃的。
每个星期天晚上,我得走7里路,绕过大半个镇去印度教的Hare Krishna神庙吃顿好料,我喜欢Hare Krishna神庙的好吃的。
我追随着我的好奇心和直觉,我的大部分投入,后来都成了无价之宝。
(完整版)乔布斯演讲:大智若愚,求知若渴
Stay hungry, stay foolish.Thank you. I'm honored to be with you today for your commencement from one of the finest universities in the world. Truth be told, I never graduated from college and this is the closest I've ever gotten to a college graduation.Today I want to tell you three stories from my life. That's it. No big deal. Just three stories. The first story is about connecting the dots.I dropped out of Reed College after the first six months but then stayed around asa 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 theyreallywanted 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 graduatedfrom high school. She refused to sign the final adoption papers. She only relented a few months later when my parents promised that I would go to college.This was the start in my life. And seventeen years later, I did go to college, but I naively chose a college that was almost as expensive as Stanford, and all of my working-class parents' savings were being spent on my college tuition. After six months, I couldn't see the value in it. I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life, and no idea of how college was going to help me figure it out, and here I was, spending all the money my parents had saved their entire life. So I decided to drop out and trust that it would all work out OK. It was pretty scary at the time, but looking back, it was one of the best decisions I ever made. The minute I dropped out, I could stop taking the required classes that didn't interest me and begin dropping in on the ones that looked far more interesting.It wasn't all romantic. I didn't have a dorm room, so I slept on the floor in friends' rooms. I returned Coke bottles for the five-cent deposits to buy food with, and I would walk the seven miles across town every Sunday night to get one good meal a week at the Hare Krishna temple. I loved it. And much of what I stumbled into by following my curiosity and intuition turned out to be priceless later on. Let me give you one example .Reed College at that time offered perhaps the best calligraphy instruction in the country. Throughout the campus every poster, every label on every drawer wasbeautifully 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.None of this had even a hope of any practical application in my life. But ten years later when we were designing the first Macintosh computer, it all came back to me, and we designed it all into the Mac. It was the first computer with beautiful typography. If I had never dropped in on that single course in college, the Mac would have never had multiple typefaces or proportionally spaced fonts, and since Windows just copied the Mac, it's likely that no personal computer would have them.If I had never dropped out, I would have never dropped in on that calligraphy class and personals computers might not have the wonderful typography that they do.Of course it was impossible to connect the dots looking forward when I was in college, but it was very, very clear looking backwards 10 years later. Again, you can't connect the dots looking forward. You can only connect them looking backwards, so you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something--your gut, destiny, life, karma,whatever--because believing that the dots will connect down the road will give you the confidence to follow your heart, even when it leads you off the well-worn path, and that will make all the difference.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.I didn't see it then, but it turned out that getting fired from Apple was the best thing that could have ever happened to me. The heaviness of being successful was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner again, less sure about everything. It freed me to enter one of the most creative periods in my life. During the next five years I started a company named NeXT, another company named Pixar and fell in love with an amazing woman who would become my wife. Pixar went on to create the world's first computer-animated feature film, "Toy Story," and is now the most successful animation studio in the world.In a remarkable turn of events, Apple bought NeXT and I returned to Apple and the technology we developed at NeXT is at the heart of Apple's current renaissance, and Lorene and I have a wonderful family together.I'm pretty sure none of this would have happened if I hadn't been fired from Apple. It was awful-tasting medicine but I guess the patient needed it.Sometimes life's going to hit you in the head with a brick. Don't lose faith. I'm convinced that the only thing that kept me going was that I loved what I did. You've got to find what you love, and that is as true for work as it is for your lovers. Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work, and the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking, and don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it, and like any great relationship it just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking. Don't settle.My third story is about death. When I was 17 I read a quote that went something like "If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you'll most certainly be right." It made an impression on me, and since then, for the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself, "If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?" And whenever the answer has been "no" for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something. Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important thing I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life, because almost everything--all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure--these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.About a year ago, I was diagnosed with cancer. I had a scan at 7:30 in the morning and it clearly showed a tumor on my pancreas. I didn't even know what a pancreas was. The doctors told me this was almost certainly a type of cancer that is incurable, and that I should expect to live no longer than three to six months. My doctor advised me to go home and get my affairs in order, which is doctors' code for "prepare to die." It means to try and tell your kids everything you thought you'd havethe next ten years to tell them, in just a few months. It means to make sure that everything is buttoned up so that it will be as easy as possible for your family. It means to say your goodbyes.I lived with that diagnosis all day. Later that evening I had a biopsy where they stuck an endoscope down my throat, through my stomach into my intestines, put a needle into my pancreas and got a few cells from the tumor. I was sedated but my wife, who was there, told me that when they viewed the cells under a microscope, the doctor started crying, because it turned out to be a very rare form of pancreatic cancer that is curable with surgery. I had the surgery and, thankfully, I am fine now.This was the closest I've been to facing death, and I hope it's the closest I get for a few more decades. Having lived through it, I can now say this to you with a bit more certainty than when death was a useful but purely intellectual concept. No one wants to die, even people who want to go to Heaven don't want to die to get there, and yet, death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because death is very likely the single best invention of life. It's life's change agent; it clears out the old to make way for the new. right now, the new is you. But someday, not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic, but it's quite true. Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma, which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice, heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.When I was young, there was an amazing publication called The Whole Earth Catalogue, which was one of the bibles of my generation. It was created by a fellow named Stuart Brand not far from here in Menlo Park, and he brought it to life with his poetic touch. This was in the late Sixties, before personal computers and desktop publishing, so it was all made with typewriters, scissors, and Polaroid cameras. it was sort of like Google in paperback form thirty-five years before Google came along. It was idealistic, overflowing with neat tools and great notions. Stuart and his team put out several issues of the 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.Thank you all, very much.大智若愚,求知若渴谢谢大家。

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 theyreallywanted 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 graduatedfrom high school. She refused to sign the final adoption papers. She only relented a few months later when my parents promised that I would go to college.This was the start in my life. And seventeen years later, I did go to college, but I naively chose a college that was almost as expensive as Stanford, and all of my working-class parents' savings were being spent on my college tuition. After six months, I couldn't see the value in it. I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life, and no idea of how college was going to help me figure it out, and here I was, spending all the money my parents had saved their entire life. So I decided to drop out and trust that it would all work out OK. It was pretty scary at the time, but looking back, it was one of the best decisions I ever made. The minute I dropped out, I could stop taking the required classes that didn't interest me and begin dropping in on the ones that looked far more interesting.It wasn't all romantic. I didn't have a dorm room, so I slept on the floor in friends' rooms. I returned Coke bottles for the five-cent deposits to buy food with, and I would walk the seven miles across town every Sunday night to get one good meal a week at the Hare Krishna temple. I loved it. And much of what I stumbled into by following my curiosity and intuition turned out to be priceless later on. Let me give you one example .Reed College at that time offered perhaps the best calligraphy instruction in the country. Throughout the campus every poster, every label on every drawer wasbeautifully 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.None of this had even a hope of any practical application in my life. But ten years later when we were designing the first Macintosh computer, it all came back to me, and we designed it all into the Mac. It was the first computer with beautiful typography. If I had never dropped in on that single course in college, the Mac would have never had multiple typefaces or proportionally spaced fonts, and since Windows just copied the Mac, it's likely that no personal computer would have them.If I had never dropped out, I would have never dropped in on that calligraphy class and personals computers might not have the wonderful typography that they do.Of course it was impossible to connect the dots looking forward when I was in college, but it was very, very clear looking backwards 10 years later. Again, you can't connect the dots looking forward. You can only connect them looking backwards, so you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something--your gut, destiny, life, karma,whatever--because believing that the dots will connect down the road will give you the confidence to follow your heart, even when it leads you off the well-worn path, and that will make all the difference.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.I didn't see it then, but it turned out that getting fired from Apple was the best thing that could have ever happened to me. The heaviness of being successful was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner again, less sure about everything. It freed me to enter one of the most creative periods in my life. During the next five years I started a company named NeXT, another company named Pixar and fell in love with an amazing woman who would become my wife. Pixar went on to create the world's first computer-animated feature film, "Toy Story," and is now the most successful animation studio in the world.In a remarkable turn of events, Apple bought NeXT and I returned to Apple and the technology we developed at NeXT is at the heart of Apple's current renaissance, and Lorene and I have a wonderful family together.I'm pretty sure none of this would have happened if I hadn't been fired from Apple. It was awful-tasting medicine but I guess the patient needed it.Sometimes life's going to hit you in the head with a brick. Don't lose faith. I'm convinced that the only thing that kept me going was that I loved what I did. You've got to find what you love, and that is as true for work as it is for your lovers. Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work, and the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking, and don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it, and like any great relationship it just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking. Don't settle.My third story is about death. When I was 17 I read a quote that went something like "If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you'll most certainly be right." It made an impression on me, and since then, for the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself, "If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?" And whenever the answer has been "no" for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something. Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important thing I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life, because almost everything--all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure--these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.About a year ago, I was diagnosed with cancer. I had a scan at 7:30 in the morning and it clearly showed a tumor on my pancreas. I didn't even know what a pancreas was. The doctors told me this was almost certainly a type of cancer that is incurable, and that I should expect to live no longer than three to six months. My doctor advised me to go home and get my affairs in order, which is doctors' code for "prepare to die." It means to try and tell your kids everything you thought you'd havethe next ten years to tell them, in just a few months. It means to make sure that everything is buttoned up so that it will be as easy as possible for your family. It means to say your goodbyes.I lived with that diagnosis all day. Later that evening I had a biopsy where they stuck an endoscope down my throat, through my stomach into my intestines, put a needle into my pancreas and got a few cells from the tumor. I was sedated but my wife, who was there, told me that when they viewed the cells under a microscope, the doctor started crying, because it turned out to be a very rare form of pancreatic cancer that is curable with surgery. I had the surgery and, thankfully, I am fine now.This was the closest I've been to facing death, and I hope it's the closest I get for a few more decades. Having lived through it, I can now say this to you with a bit more certainty than when death was a useful but purely intellectual concept. No one wants to die, even people who want to go to Heaven don't want to die to get there, and yet, death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because death is very likely the single best invention of life. It's life's change agent; it clears out the old to make way for the new. right now, the new is you. But someday, not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic, but it's quite true. Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma, which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice, heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.When I was young, there was an amazing publication called The Whole Earth Catalogue, which was one of the bibles of my generation. It was created by a fellow named Stuart Brand not far from here in Menlo Park, and he brought it to life with his poetic touch. This was in the late Sixties, before personal computers and desktop publishing, so it was all made with typewriters, scissors, and Polaroid cameras. it was sort of like Google in paperback form thirty-five years before Google came along. It was idealistic, overflowing with neat tools and great notions. Stuart and his team put out several issues of the 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.Thank you all, very much.大智若愚,求知若渴谢谢大家。

这是苹果公司和Pixar动画工作室的CEO Steve Jobs于2005年6月12号在斯坦福大学的毕业典礼上面的演讲稿。
谢谢大家。
很荣幸能和你们,来自世界最好大学之一的毕业生们,一块儿参加毕业典礼。
老实说,我大学没有毕业,今天恐怕是我一生中离大学毕业最近的一次了。
今天,我想告诉大家来自我生活的三个故事。
不是长篇大论,只是三个故事而已。
第一个故事,如何串连生命中的点滴。
我在里得大学读了六个月就退学了,但是在十八个月之后--我真正退学之前,我还常去学校。
为何我要选择退学呢?这还得从我出生之前说起。
我的生母是一个年轻、未婚的大学毕业生,她决定让别人收养我。
她有一个很强烈的信仰,认为我应该被一个大学毕业生家庭收养。
于是,一对律师夫妇说好了要领养我,然而最后一秒钟,他们改变了主意,决定要个女孩儿。
然后我的排在收养人名单中的养父母在一个深夜接到电话,“很意外,我们多了一个男婴,你们要吗?”“当然要!”但是我的生母后来又发现我的养母没有大学毕业,养父连高中都没有毕业。
她拒绝在领养书上签字。
几个月后,我的养父母保证会让我上大学,她妥协了。
这是我生命的开端。
十七年后,我上大学了,但是我很无知地选了一所差不多和斯坦福一样贵的学校,几乎花掉我那蓝领阶层养父母一生的积蓄。
六个月后,我觉得不值得。
我看不出自己以后要做什么,也不晓得大学会怎样帮我指点迷津,而我却在花销父母一生的积蓄。
所以我决定退学,并且相信没有做错。
一开始非常吓人,但回忆起来,这却是我一生中作的最好的决定之一。
从我退学的那一刻起,我可以停止一切不感兴趣的必修课,开始旁听那些有意思得多的课。
事情并不那么美好。
我没有宿舍可住,睡在朋友房间的地上。
为了吃饭,我收集五分一个的旧可乐瓶,每个星期天晚上步行七英里到哈尔-克里什纳庙里改善一下一周的伙食。
我喜欢这种生活方式。
能够遵循自己的好奇和直觉前行后来被证明是多么的珍贵。
让我来给你们举个例子吧。
当时的里得大学提供可能是全国最好的书法指导。
乔布斯《求知若饥,虚心若愚》励志演讲稿
乔布斯《求知若饥,虚心若愚》励志演讲稿尊敬的老师、亲爱的同学们:大家好!今天,我想分享乔布斯先生的一句名言——“求知若饥,虚心若愚”。
这句话不仅仅是一句简短的格言,更是乔布斯先生一生所秉持的人生态度和价值观。
首先,让我们来探讨一下“求知若饥”。
乔布斯先生一直都是一个充满激情和渴望学习的人。
他对世界的好奇心和对知识的追求,是他成功的重要原因之一。
他坚信,只有不断地学习和充实自己,才能在竞争激烈的世界中保持领先地位。
他的求知欲望永不满足,他不断学习新的技术和研究最新的科学发现,以推动苹果公司的创新和发展。
因此,我们也应该像乔布斯先生一样,时刻保持饥渴之心,努力追求知识,不停地学习,不停地成长。
其次,我们来讨论“虚心若愚”。
乔布斯先生在演讲中经常强调自己的虚心态度。
他认为,只有保持谦逊和接受不同观点的态度,才能不断改进和成长。
他把自己当作一个永远的学徒,不断从他人身上学习和吸取经验。
正因为他保持了虚心若愚的心态,他才能在商业领域取得如此辉煌的成就。
因此,我们也应该时刻保持谦虚和虚心的态度,勇于接受自己的不足,并努力从他人的经验中汲取智慧,成为更好的自己。
最后,我们来总结一下这句名言的意义。
乔布斯先生通过“求知若饥,虚心若愚”这句话,强调了不断学习和谦虚的重要性。
他告诉我们,只有保持饥渴之心,不断追求知识,才能在竞争激烈的世界中脱颖而出;只有保持虚心和谦逊的态度,才能不断改进和提高。
他的一生就是最好的证明,证明了“求知若饥,虚心若愚”这句话的真理和价值。
作为当代青年,我们应该从中汲取启示,时刻保持对知识的渴望,不断充实自己;同时,我们也要保持谦虚和虚心的态度,善于从他人的经验中吸取智慧。
只有这样,我们才能不断发展自己,迎接挑战,实现自己的梦想。
最后,我希望我们每个人都能以乔布斯先生为榜样,将“求知若饥,虚心若愚”的精神深深地扎根在我们的内心,努力成为有知识有智慧且谦虚虚心的人。
让我们一起奋发向前,不断追求知识和成长,创造一个更加美好的未来!谢谢大家!。

乔布斯斯坦福大学毕业典礼演讲:求知若渴,虚心若愚【完整版】中英字幕视频和演讲稿全文,虽然听过很多次,但每次听都有不同的感悟。
因为这是听过的最好的毕业演讲。
我今天很荣幸能和你们一起参加毕业典礼而且是在这样一所世界顶尖的大学。
事实上我大学都还没毕业所以这该是我和大学毕业最接近的一次了。
(大笑)今天我只想跟大家分享我人生中的三个故事不说大道理只说三个小故事第一个故事是关于因果相连。
我在里德大学读了六个月就退学了不过我在旁听课程又留了一年半然后再彻底离开。
我为什么要退学呢。
就要从我的出生说起我的生母读研期间未婚先孕有了我随后她决定让别人收养我她坚持我未来的养父母是要读过大学的。
于是按照她的规划我将被一对律师夫妇所收养。
不过当我出生的时候那对律师夫妇最后时刻改变了主意想要个女孩因此原本在候补名单上的我的养父母在半夜接到了一个电话说我们这儿意外有了个男孩你们要吗。
他们说当然要。
但我的亲生母亲后来发现我的养母没有大学文凭而我的养父甚至连高中都没毕业。
起初她是拒绝签订收养协议几个月后才退让因为我的养父母承诺一定会让我上大学的就这样开始了我的人生。
十七岁那年我真的上了大学但是我很天真地选择了一个几乎和斯坦福一样昂贵的大学。
我那属于工薪阶层的父母剩下的积蓄全都用来支付我的大学学费。
六个月来我始终发现不了读大学的价值我对自己这辈子到底想什么一无所知也不觉得大学能帮我发现这个问题的答案。
而为了让我读大学我的父母几乎是倾家荡产。
所以我决定退学相信船到桥头自然直。
其实当时还是想挺吓人的回头想想那的确是我做过的最明智的选择之一。
(笑)自从退学开始我就可以不再去上那些无趣的必修课(大笑)而去旁听那些更有意思的课程。
当然也不是真那么浪漫当时我连宿舍都没所以只能在朋友的宿舍打地铺睡觉。
我靠收集可乐瓶子每个5美分来养活自己每周日晚上我都步行七公里到神庙去蹭一顿像样的饭菜。
我乐此不疲。
那些听从自己的直觉和好奇心而遇到的事。
后来都令我收获颇丰。
举个例子。
那时候里德大学开设了或许是全美最好的书法。
大学里每张海报上每个抽屉上全都是漂亮的美术字。
因为我退学了不必去上正规的课程所以我决定去练练书法。
我学到了有衬线体和无衬线体懂得了如何把握词间距。
以及如何做出漂亮的版式优雅沧桑和科学无法描述的那种艺术气息。
真是妙不可言。
这些东西无论怎么看都算不上对未来有实际用处。
但是十年之后当我们设计第一台苹果电脑的时候。
却全都用上了。
全都融入了苹果电脑的设计当中。
那是第一台电脑使用艺术字的电脑。
如果我当时在大学没有学习这门课程苹果电脑就不会有这么丰富的字体和比例匀称的字体。
因为微软只知道山寨苹果那很可能世上所有电脑都不会有那些漂亮字体了那么各种PC也不会有如今的精美字体了。
当然我当时也不可能知道预支这一件件事之间的因和果。
只有回过头来看才一目了然在此强调没有人可以未卜先知。
事事间的因果往往只在回首时显现你得相信因果会在未来生活中联系起来。
人总要有些信仰才行直觉也好命运也罢因果轮回不管什么去相信因与果的联系。
会给你信心去跟从自己的意愿。
哪怕离经叛道也绝不止步。
只有这样才能有所成就。
第二个故事关于兴趣与得失。
我很幸运。
能在年轻时就找到兴趣所在。
二十岁时我和沃茨就在父母的车库里开创了苹果。
我们非常努力苹果用了10年从两个穷小子和一个破车库发展成了拥有四千多名雇员市值超过二十亿的大公司。
一年前我们刚发布了我们史上最棒的产品Macintosh。
我也刚满三十然后之后我却被公司炒了鱿鱼怎么会有人被自己创立的公司炒了呢。
在苹果的发展期我们雇了一个我当时很看重的人物和我一起来管理公司在最初一年中一切都很顺利。
但是后来我们对公司的未来发展产生了分歧最终彻底闹翻了。
而此时董事会站在了他的一边我就在而立之年被当中扫地出门。
突然我人生的重心不见了这对我是非常沉重的打击。
最初的几个月里我不知所措觉得自己无颜面对上一辈的企业家们我没有接好他们交给我的接力棒。
我拜访了戴维middot;帕卡德和鲍勃middot;诺伊斯去向他们道歉自己搞砸。
我的惨败闹得满城风雨我甚至都想干脆离开硅谷一走了之。
但我有渐渐意识到我对事业的热爱没有变我的意外出局并没有动摇我的热爱虽然被拒绝但是我心依旧所以我决定从头再来我当时没有感觉。
但是被苹果炒掉其实是我一生中最有意义的事。
成功的巨大压力变成了新人接受挑战的轻盈不再受固有思维的羁绊。
我轻盈地进入了我人生中最具创造力的时期在接下来的五年里我创立了一个名叫NeXT的公司和一个叫皮克斯的公司。
还与一位杰出的女性相知相爱她后来成为了我的太太。
皮克斯后来制作了世界上第一个用电脑制作的动画电影玩具总动员。
现在已经是世界上最成功的动画工作室。
峰回路转苹果收购了NeXT。
我也回归到了苹果而且正是我们在NeXT研发的技术带来了苹果的复兴。
我还和我的太太组建了美满的家庭。
我很肯定这一切反而都要归功于当时的我被苹果开除的经历所以说良药苦口利于病。
有些时候生活会给你迎头一击不要灰心丧气我坚信唯一可以让我坚持下去的就是我自己对事业的热爱。
你必须去寻找自己的索爱无论是工作还是爱情都是如此。
工作是生活中很主要的部分要真正获得满足感就必须做你相信是有价值的工作。
要做有价值的事业你就必须热爱你做的事业。
如果你还没找到千万不要放弃要继续寻找。
只要倾听你的心声当你真的发现时你就会感到就像任何伟大的感情关系一样岁月的更迭只会让这份情愈发深刻。
所以千万不要不放弃要继续寻找。
我的第三个故事是关于死亡。
十七岁时我读过一句话假如你把每一天都当做最后一天来过那么总有一天你是对的。
我将这句话铭记心中之后的33年中每天早晨我都会对着镜子问自己假如今天就是我生命中的最后一天我会做些什么还会这样过吗。
如果连续几天我的回答都是不我就知道我需要改变了。
提醒自己人的生命有限令我一生都受益非常令我能明智地在人生重大问题上做出抉择。
因为一切的一切一切追求一切荣耀一切惶恐一切挫折在死亡面前都会显得微不足道。
剩下的才是最重要的事情记住自己总会死去是避免。
自己被种种担心所羁绊的最好方法既然将一无所有还有什么理由违背自己的意愿大概一年以前我被诊断出癌症。
我早上七点半做了一个检查很清楚显示我的胰腺上有个肿瘤我当时都不知道胰腺是什么东西医生告诉我这是一种绝种无药可救。
也就剩下3-6个月的寿命。
我的医生劝我出院回家好好料理一下这是医生表达你可以等死了的用语。
这也就意味着你要跟你的孩子把你觉得还有十年去说的话在几个月内说完把一切都安排妥当让你的家庭可以安稳接受这意味着要跟亲友们逐一告别。
这个诊断的阴影笼罩了我一整天。
当晚我做了切片检查。
医生将内窥镜送入我的喉咙通过胃部然后进入肠道用一根针在我的肿瘤上取了些细胞样本。
我当时被麻醉了不过我太太在场她后来告诉我当医生用显微镜观察这些细胞时他们也忍不住哭了因为他们发现得的是一种罕见的胰腺癌是可以通过手术治好的。
我做了手续现在的我已经痊愈那是我最接近死亡的一次经历也希望之后的几十年我能离它远点与死神擦肩后。
我可以更坚定地告诉大家相比当初死亡只是个概念的时候。
没人愿意死去即便是那些想上天堂的人也不想通过死到达天堂。
然而我们每个人都会面对死亡没人能逃避而且生命就应该如此。
因为死亡就是生命最好的发明它是生命更迭的媒介推动世界的新陈代谢。
现在的你们代表着新但是不久以后你们也会变成陈然后被代谢掉抱歉说得有些不近人情但这都是事实。
你们的时间很有限的。
所以不要浪费在过别人的生活上。
不要被教条束缚。
那只是根据别人的思维结果而生活不要让他人的喧嚣纷繁淹没了自己内心的声音。
最重要的是你要有勇气去听从你的直觉和心灵的呼唤其实它们最明白你想成为什么样的人其他的一切都是次要的我年轻时候有本很棒的杂志叫《全球目录》我们那代人奉之为经典。
它是又斯图尔特middot;布兰德在这附近的Menlo Park创办的他把自己的文艺气质融汇其中。
那是六十年代后期个人电脑还没有出现全是用打字机剪刀还有宝丽来照相机。
他就好比是35年前的简装版的Google充满理想主义色彩。
该书简洁实用见解独到。
斯图尔特团队出版了几期的《全球目录》当它后来要停刊的时候他们出了最后一版。
那是七十年中期我就像你们这么大。
杂志最后一期的封底上是一幅清晨乡村公路的照片就是那种加入你搭车旅行玩冒险也会遇到的村路。
照片下面有这样一段话求知若饥虚心若愚这是他们停刊的告别语。
求知若饥虚心若愚我一直以此激励自己。
在你们即将毕业开始崭新旅程的时刻我也希望你们能做到求知若饥虚心若愚。
谢谢大家。
求知若饥虚心若愚我一直以此激励自己。
在你们即将毕业开始崭新旅程的时刻我也希望你们能做到求知若饥虚心若愚。
谢谢大家。
