乔布斯斯坦福大学演讲稿(中文优秀6篇乔布斯英语演讲稿篇一camp was more like a keg party without any alcohol. and on the very first day our counselor gathered us all together and she taught us a cheer that she said we would be doing every day for the rest of the summer to instill camp spirit. and it went like this: r-o-w-d-i-e, that#39;s the way we spell rowdie. rowdie, rowdie, let#39;s get rowdie. yeah. so i couldn#39;t figure out for the life of me why we were supposed to be so rowdy, or why we had to spell this word incorrectly. (laughter) but i recited a cheer. i recited a cheer along with everybody else. i did my best. and i just waited for the time that i could go off and read my books.but the first time that i took my book out of my suitcase, the coolest girl in the bunk came up to me and she asked me, why are you being so mellow? -- mellow, of course, being the exact opposite of r-o-w-d-i-e. and then the second time i tried it, the counselor came up to me with a concerned expression on her face and she repeated the point about camp spirit and said we should all work very hard to be outgoing.and so i put my books away, back in their suitcase, and i put them under my bed, and there they stayed for the rest of the summer. and i felt kind of guilty about this. i felt as if the books needed me somehow, and they were calling out to me and i was forsaking them. but i did forsake them and i didn#39;t open that suitcase again until i was back home with my family at the end of the summer.now, i tell you this story about summer camp. i could have told you 50 others just like it -- all the times that i got the message that somehow my quiet and introverted style of being was not necessarily the right way to go, that i should be trying to pass as more of an extrovert. and i always sensed deep down that this was wrong and that introverts were pretty excellent just as they were. but for years i denied this intuition, and so i became a wall street lawyer, of all things, instead of the writer that i had always longed to be -- partly because i needed to prove to myself that i could be bold and assertive too. and i was always going off to crowded bars when i really would have preferred to just have a nice dinner with friends. and i made these self-negating choices so reflexively, that i wasn#39;t even aware that i was making them.乔布斯励志演讲稿篇二只上6个月大学就退学为什么还能成功？被自己创办的公司开除为什么没被击垮？经历死去活来之后对人生又会有何改变？我荣幸地在世界上最好的大学的毕业典礼上讲话，但是我从来没大学毕业。
乔布斯2005年斯坦福大学毕业演讲(中文)
乔布斯斯坦福演讲：活出你自己[2009-12-18]坚信、坚持、坚定-- 生命中的三个故事编者按：2005年6月12日，在美国斯坦福大学毕业典礼上，苹果公司CEO乔布斯发表了精彩演讲。
已被确诊身患癌症的乔布斯对在场学子讲述了自己经历的三个故事，与学子们分享自己的创业心得，并以此激励年轻一代勇敢、积极、快乐地面对人生。
乔布斯朴实而真诚的演讲不但赢得了全场数次热烈鼓掌和尖叫，也成为近年美国毕业典礼演讲中最具影响力的一篇。
时至今日，这一演讲仍然对广大学子和创业者产生着深远影响。
以下为乔布斯在斯坦福大学毕业典礼上的演讲全文：一、关于信仰：坚信“你要坚信，你现在所经历的，将在你未来的生命中串联起来。
正是这种信仰让我没有失去希望，它使我的人生与众不同”很荣幸今天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，而我从来没拿过大学毕业证。
说实话，在我的生命中，今天也许是我距离大学毕业最近的一天了。
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，只是三个故事而已。
第一个故事是关于如何把生命中的点滴串连起来。
我在里德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？故事得从我出生时讲起。
我的生母是一个年轻的、未婚的大学毕业生。
她决定让别人收养我，她非常希望我被受过高等教育的人收养。
所以在我出生的时候，她已经做好了一切准备工作，使我得以被一个律师和他的妻子所收养。
让她意外的是，当我出生之后，律师夫妇突然决定生个女孩。
所以我的养父母（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，你们想要吗？”他们回答道:“当然！”但是我的生母随后发现，我的养母从来没有上过大学，我的养父甚至没读过高中。
她拒绝签收养合同。
直到几个月以后，我的养父母答应她一定会让我上大学，她才同意。
在十七岁那年，我真的上了大学。
但是我很愚蠢地选择了一个几乎和斯坦福大学一样昂贵的学校，我的养父母是工人，他们几乎把所有积蓄都花在了我的学费上。

乔布斯斯坦福大学毕业典礼演讲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 as a drop-in for another eighteen months or so before I really quit. So why did I drop out? It started before I was born. My biological mother was a young, unwed graduate student, and she decided to put me up for adoption. She felt very strongly that I should be adopted by college graduates, so everything was all set for me to be adopted at birth by a lawyer and his wife, except that when I popped out, they decided at the last minute that they really wanted a girl. So my parents, who were on a waiting list, got a call in the middle of the night asking, "We've got an unexpected baby boy. Do you want him?" They said, "Of course." My biological mother found out later that my mother had never graduated from college and that my father had never graduated from high school. She refused to sign the final adoption papers. She only relented a few months later when my parents promised that I would go to college.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 collegewas 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 lookingback, 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 andbegin dropping in on the ones that looked far more interestingIt 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 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 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 multipletypefaces 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 , 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 '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 failureand 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 namedNeXT, another company named Pixar and fell in love with an amazing womanwho 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 neededit. Sometimes life's going to hit you in the head with a brick. Don't losefaith. I'm convinced that the only thing that kept me going was that Iloved 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 whatyou 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'llmost 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 have the next ten years to tell them, in just a few months. It means to make sure that everything is buttoned up so that it will be as easy as possible for yourfamily. It means to say your goodbyes.I lived with that diagnosis all day. Later that evening I had a biopsywhere they stuck an endoscope down my throat, through my stomach into myintestines, put a needle into my pancreas and got a few cells from thetumor. I was sedated but my wife, who was there, told me that when theyviewed 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 wascreated 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 muchYour 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."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 askedmyself, "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.

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。
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（他们在待选名单上）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,我的养父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,那个时候她才勉强同意。
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。
我不知道我真正想要做什么,我也不知道大学能怎样帮助我找到答案。
但是在这里，我几乎花光了我父母这一辈子的全部积蓄。
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。
然后我可以开始去修那些看起来有点意思的课程。
但是这并不是那么浪漫。

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 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. (=making someone feel extremely sad or shocked)if opinions, interests etc diverge, they are different from each otherdiverge fromHere Innocent's views diverged from Gregory's.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.screw sth⇔up informal =to spoil something by doing something stupidShe realized that she had screwed up her life.dawn on =if a fact dawns on you, you realize it for the first time开始被理解；渐渐明白Then the ghastly truth dawned on me.It dawned on me that Joanna had been right all along.I didn't see it then, but it turned out that getting fired from Apple was the bestthing that could have ever happened to me. The heaviness of being successful was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner again, less sure abouteverything. 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, anothercompany 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 hits you in the head with a brick. Don't lose faith. I'mconvinced 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'llknow 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 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 other's opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.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 afellow 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(宝丽来相机). 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 notionStewart 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.sign off phr vinformal to end a radio or television programme by saying goodbyeto write your final message at the end of an informal letterIt's getting late so I'll sign off now.

乔布斯在斯坦福大学的演讲(英文版)
Stay Hungry Stay FoolishI am honored to be with you today at 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 graduation. Today I want to tell you three stories from my life. That’s no big deal just three stories.The first story is about connecting and dotting. I dropped out of the Reed College after the first 6 months, but then stayed around as drop-in, for another 18 months also 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 all set for me. To be adopted at birth by a lawyer and his wife. Except that when I dropped 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 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 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. This was a start in my life. And 17years 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 6 months, I couldn’t see the value in it. I have no idea what I want to do with my life and no idea how college was going to help me figure 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 have 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 for more interesting. It wasn’t all romantic. I didn’t have a dorm room, so I slept on the floor in friends’ rooms. And I would walk 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 beautiful hand calligrapher. 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 greattypography great. It was beautiful historical artistically subtle in a way that science can’t capture. And I found it fascinating. None of this even had a hope , of any practical application in my life. But ten years later, when we designing the first Macintosh computer, it all come back to me. And we designed it all into the Mac. It was the first computer with beautiful typography. If I 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 never dropped out, I would have never dropped in on this calligraphy class, and personal computer 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 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. Because believing that these dots would connect the road will give you the confidence to follow your heart, even when it leads you off the well-worth 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. Wiz and I started Apple in my parent’s garage when I was 20. We worked hard and in ten years Apple had grown, fromjust 2 of us in a garage into a 2 billion dollars company with over 4000 employees. We just released our first 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 Nonce and tried to apologize for screwing up so badly. I was very public failure and I even thought about running away from the Valley. But something slowly began to down 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 turn out that getting fired from Apple was the best thing that could have ever happen to me. The heaviness of being successful was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner again. Less sure about everything. It freed to enter one of the most creative periods of my life. During the next 5 years, I started a company named NeXT anothercompany named Pixar and fell in love with an amazing woman who would become m 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. I returned to Apple and the technology we developed at NeXT, is at the heart of Apple’s current renaissance and Laurence 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.

苹果CEO乔布斯在斯坦福大学的讲话
乔布斯在斯坦福大学毕业典礼上的讲话今天很荣幸能和你们在世界最好的大学之一参加毕业典礼。
我没有大学毕业就退学了，今天我想向你们讲我生活中的三个故事。
不是什么大不了的事情,也不是讲大道理，只是三个故事而已。
第一个故事是关于如何理清生活中的头绪。
我在里德学院（Reed College）读了六个月就退学了,但在一年半后,我还常常去学校旁听。
那我为什么要退学呢?这要从我出生前讲起。
我的生母是一位未婚在校研究生，所以她想让别人收养我,并且非常希望收养我的人有大学文凭。
所以，她安排好了一切，想让我一出生就被一个律师家庭收养。
但她未料到,我出生后,律师夫妇突然改变主意，想收养一个女孩。
有一天，我的养父母半夜接到一个电话说:“我们有个男婴,你们想要吗？”他们答道:“当然！”但我生母随后发现，我的养母从没上过大学,而养父高中都没毕业，所以她拒绝在收养文件上签字。
没过几个月,我的生母心软了，因为我的养父母答应她一定要让我上大学。
十七岁那年,我如愿上了大学，但我很愚蠢地选择了一个几乎和你们斯坦福大学学费一样贵的学校,我父母是蓝领阶层，他们几乎把所有积蓄都给我交了学费。
半年后,我还看不到上学的价值所在，不知道自己想做什么,也不知道大学能帮我找到什么答案。
但在学校里，我几乎花光了父母一辈子的积蓄，所以我决定退学,我觉得这是个正确的决定。
不可否认,我当时确实非常害怕,但回头看看,那的确是我有生以来做出的最好决定之一，因为我终于可以不用再读那些无聊的课程，但却可以旁听其中一些有趣的。
退学后，我没了宿舍，只能睡在朋友住所的地板。
我捡可乐瓶子，一个可以卖5美分，用它来填饱肚子。
每个星期天晚上，我要走七英里，穿过这个城市到Hare Krishna寺庙（注：位于纽约布鲁克林下城），只为能吃上每周一顿的美餐，但我喜欢这样。
我跟着我的直觉和好奇心走，我给你们举一个例子：里德学院当时提供几乎全美最好的美术字课程。
学校的每个海报，每个抽屉标签上都是漂亮的美术字。
史蒂夫乔布斯在斯坦福大学毕业典礼上的演讲稿：勇敢面对人生挑战
史蒂夫乔布斯在斯坦福大学毕业典礼上的演讲稿：勇敢面对人生挑战：非常感谢这次能够在斯坦福大学为毕业生们演讲的机会。
今天，我想和大家分享一些我在我人生中的经历和体悟，以及这些经历和体悟对我的人生和事业产生的深远影响。
今天，我们站在这里的人，都已经取得了我们漫长学术路径的荣誉，我们为之辛勤付出铺垫的工作、与家庭朋友的睦邻相处，以及我们多年的探索与学习已经成功地带我们走向了这个人生第一步，开启了我们的职业人生之路。
但是，我想说的是，这个世界不是那么容易地让我们走向我们的愿望，并且实现我们的人生理想。
我们人生中面对着很多的困境和挑战。
然而，战胜这个世界的挑战——需要我们变得勇敢，坚韧而富有创造力。
从我的亲身经历来看，我曾经不止一次地面对挑战和困境。
天赋卓异的我与我的伙伴们最初因为创新和全新的创业想法成立了苹果公司，但在公司成立初期，我们发现公司的经营和运营颇为困难，资金链断裂，公司一度濒临破产。
但是，我这个时候一直坚信着：正是面对这样的人生挑战，才是我成为精英的最佳途径。
虽然我曾经度过无数的失落痛苦日子，但我坚持了下来，并引领了我的团队向前发展。
最终，我们在超过十年的时间内，创造出了苹果公司的辉煌。
对于人生中的挑战和困境，我有一个至爱至性的认识：每一次挫折都是一次成长机会。
无论白天或黑夜，坚定走完自己的道路是意义重大的。
尤其是我们这个时代，在这个时代中，我们每一个人都能够从人与科技、人与自然、人与社会的关系中感受到挑战的痛楚，同时我们在挑战的痛苦中培养了创造力和超越自我的能力。
我们要学会如何在这个纷繁复杂的社会中找到自己的位置和方向，秉持着勇气和自信，哪怕会面对很多的困境，我们也要勇往直前。
任何人的人生经历，无论多么顺利或不顺利，都是我们勇敢面对挑战的必经之路。
我们从挫败中学习知识，迎接挑战，拥有自我的品质和力量，终将铸就个人的辉煌。
大家要记住，人生中任何一次挫折都会成为我们逐步走向成功的人生奠基石。
我祝愿每一个斯坦福毕业生都能够勇敢地面对我们接下来的人生挑战，实现我们的人生理想，生命的意义不在于你曾多少次成功，而在于你曾有多少次韧而不放弃的决心与行动。

已被确诊身患癌症的乔布斯对在场学子讲述了自己经历的三个故事，与学子们分享自己的创业心得，并以此激励年轻一代勇敢、积极、快乐地面对人生。
这三次体验不仅在斯坦福大学的毕业生、也在硅谷乃至其他地方的技术同行中引起了巨大反响。
尤其The Whole Earth Catalog提到的话，作为杂志，这是一种精神，一种气质。
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。
乔布斯朴实而真诚的演讲不但赢得了全场数次热烈鼓掌和尖叫，也成为近年美国毕业典礼演讲中最具影响力的一篇。
时至今日，这一演讲仍然对广大学子和创业者产生着深远影响。

Stay hungry. Stay foolish.——乔布斯在斯坦福大学的演讲稿（乔布斯提到的Whole Earth Catalog封底照片）Thank you.I’m honored to be with you today at 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 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 got an unexpectedbaby boy; do you want him?" They said: "Of course." My biological mother found out later that my mother had never graduated from college and 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. This was the start in my life.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 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 look 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 5 cents 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.

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 in the dots will connect down the road will give you the confidence to follow your heart even when they lead 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 20.

But somethingslowly 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, 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'tbeen fired from Apple. It was awful tasting medicine, but I guess the patient needed it. Sometimes life is 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?" Andwhenever 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 and tell your kids everything you thought you'd have the next 10 years to tell them in just a few months. Itmeans 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, 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 thankfully I'm fine now.This was the closest I've been to face in 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 itshould 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 other's opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.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 60'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, 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 a new, I wish that for you.Stay Hungry, stay Foolish.Thank you all very much.。
乔布斯在斯坦福大学的演讲 英文
乔布斯在斯坦福大学的演讲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 us in a garage into a 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 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.

乔布斯在斯坦福大学毕业典礼上的英文演讲稿(附翻译)
乔布斯在斯坦福大学毕业典礼上的英文演讲稿（附翻译）Ladies and gentlemen,Today marks a special day for all of us gathered here at Stanford University. It is an honor to be standing in front of you all and to share my reflections on life, purpose, and success. Today, I would like to share with you three stories from my life that define who I am, and who I hope to be, and the lessons I've learned along the way. I hope these stories will inspire and motivate you, regardless of where you are in your own journey.First story: Connecting the dotsI was adopted at birth and grew up in a modest family in California.I always had a passion for computers, but I dropped out of college after six months because it seemed too expensive and I wasn't sure what I wanted to do with my life. I was lost, and for the next 18 months, I simply lived day-to-day, learning calligraphy, wandering and taking classes that intrigued me. At the time, it seemed pointless. In retrospect, it was a crucial period of self-discovery. Eventually, I returned to my interest in computers, and because of my experiences with calligraphy, I was drawn to the beauty and elegance of fonts and typefaces. This eventually led to the creation of the first Macintosh computer - which transformed the way weall work and communicate. But the point here is that you can never connect the dots looking forward. You can only connect them looking back. So you need to trust that the dots will connect somehow in your future. You have to trust in something - your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever - because believing that the dots willconnect 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.第一故事：连接那些点女士们，先生们，今天是斯坦福大学的特别日子。

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(外面的，外部的) 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.

史蒂夫·乔布斯2005年斯坦福大学毕业典礼的演讲稿
பைடு நூலகம்
The first story is about connecting the dots.
Reed大学在那时提供也许是全美最好的美术字课程。在这个大学里面的每个海报, 每个抽屉的标签上面全都是漂亮的美术字。因为我退学了, 不必去上正规的课程, 所以我决定去参加这个课程，去学学怎样写出漂亮的美术字。我学到了san serif 和serif字体, 我学会了怎么样在不同的字母组合之中改变空白间距, 还有怎么样才能作出最棒的印刷式样。那种美好、历史感和艺术精妙，是科学永远不能捕捉到的, 我发现那实在是太迷人了。
None of this had even a hope of any practical application in my life. But ten years later, when we were designing the first Macintosh computer, it all came back to me. And we designed it all into the Mac. It was the first computer with beautiful typography. If I had never dropped in on that single course in college, the Mac would have never had multiple typefaces or proportionally spaced fonts. And since Windows just copied the Mac, 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.

乔布斯在斯坦福大学演讲经典片段
. 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.
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。
And much of what I stumbled into by following my curiosity and intuition turned out to be priceless later on.
我跟着我的直觉和好奇心走, 遇到的很多东西,此后被证明是无价之宝。
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.
当然我在大学的时候，还不可能把从前的点点滴滴串连起来,但是当我十年后回顾这一切的时候,真的豁然开朗了。
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.
再次说明的是,你在向前展望的时候不可能将这些片断串连起来；你只能在回顾的时候将点点滴滴串连起来。
所以你必须相信这些片断会在你未来的某一天串连起来。
你必须要相信某些东西：你的勇气、目的、生命、因缘。
这个过程从来没有令我失望（let me down）,只是让我的生命更加地与众不同而已。
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.
有些时候, 生活会拿起一块砖头向你的脑袋上猛拍一下。
不要失去信心。
我很清楚唯一使我一直走下去的，就是我做的事情令我无比钟爱。
你需要去找到你所爱的东西。
对于工作是如此, 对于你的爱人也是如此。
你的工作将会占据生活中很大的一部分。
你只有相信自己所做的是伟大的工作, 你才能怡然自得。
如果你现在还没有找到, 那么继续找、不要停下来、全心全意的去找, 当你找到的时候你就会知道的。
就像任何真诚的关系, 随着岁月的流逝只会越来越紧密。
所以继续找，直到你找到它，不要停下来！
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, 当我十七岁的时候, 我读到了一句话:“如果你把每一天都当
作生命中最后一天去生活的话,那么有一天你会发现你是正确的。
”这句话给我留下了深刻的印象。
"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.
:“如果今天是我生命中的最后一天, 你会不会完成你今天想做的事情呢？”当答
案连续很多次被给予“不是”的时候, 我知道自己需要改变某些事情了。
Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything – all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or 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.
“记住你即将死去”是我一生中遇到的最重要箴言。
它帮我指明了生命中重要的选择。
因为几乎所有的事情, 包括所有的荣誉、所有的骄傲、所有对难堪和失败的恐惧,这些在死亡面前都会消失。
我看到的是留下的真正重要的东西。
你有时候会思考你将会失去某些东西,“记住你即将死去”是我知道的避免这些想法的最好办法。
你已经赤身裸体了, 你没有理由不去跟随自己的心一起跳动。
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.
那意味着你将要把未来十年对你小孩说的话在几个月里面说完.；那意味着把每件事情都搞定, 让你的家人会尽可能轻松的生活；那意味着你要说“再见了”。
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 other's opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.
你们的时间有限，所以不要将他们浪费在重复其他人的生活上。
不要被教条束，那意味着你和其他人思考的结果一起生活。
不要被其他人喧嚣的观点掩盖你真正的内心的声音。
还有最重要的是，你要有勇气去听从你直觉和心灵的指示——他们在某种程度上知道你想要成为什么样子，所有其他的事情都是次要的。
