乔布斯演讲(三个故事)
乔布斯在2005年斯坦福大学毕业典礼上的演讲：我生命中的三个故事
乔布斯在2005年斯坦福大学毕业典礼上的演讲：我生命中的三个故事You’ve got to find what you love,’ Jobs says★★★★★乔布斯说：你必须要找到你所钟爱的东西This is the text of the Commencement address by Steve Jobs, CEO of Apple Computer and of Pixar Animation Studios, delivered on June 12, 2005.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（欢呼）。
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（笑）。
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,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把生命中的点点滴滴串连起来。
我在里德学院（Reed College）读了六个月之后就退学了,但是在大约一年半以后——我真正作出退学决定之前,我还经常去学校旁听。
那么，我为什么要退学呢?（呼声）故事的从我出生前讲起。
我的生母是一个年轻的、未婚的在校研究生。
她决定让别人收养我, 非常希望收养我的是有大学学历的人。
所以，她已经安排好了一切，能使我一出生就被一名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！”但是我生母随后发现，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。
所以她拒绝在收养文件上签字。
没几个月,我的生母心软了，因为我的父母答应她一定要让我上大学。
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。
乔布斯的演讲三个故事读后感
乔布斯的演讲三个故事读后感读完乔布斯演讲里的那三个故事，就感觉像是跟一个特酷的老大哥聊了会儿天，他把自己那些压箱底儿的人生经验就这么掏出来给你看了。
先说说第一个故事，关于串起生命中的点滴。
乔布斯讲他上大学的时候，各种瞎晃悠选课，还去学什么书法，当时看起来完全就是浪费时间嘛。
可是后来做苹果电脑的时候，那些书法知识就像魔法一样，让苹果电脑的字体和排版变得超级酷炫。
这就跟我们自己的生活一样啊，有时候我们干一些事儿，当下觉得没个卵用，就像我小时候特别爱拆小电器，我妈老骂我不务正业，可后来我对电子设备那些小零件啥的就特熟悉，捣鼓电脑啥的都比别人快。
乔布斯这故事就是告诉咱，人生就像一场寻宝游戏，那些看似没用的经历，指不定啥时候就变成宝藏了。
第二个故事是关于爱和失去。
他被自己亲手创立的苹果公司给踢出去了，这得多惨啊，就像自己养的娃突然不认自己了。
换做是我，估计得在家哭上个把月，然后就自暴自弃了。
可乔布斯呢，他说这是他人生中最棒的经历之一。
他在这期间又创立了皮克斯，做出了那些超棒的动画电影。
他就像是一个打不死的小强，而且在这个过程中，他发现了自己新的热爱。
这就好比你失恋了，觉得天都塌了，结果发现单身的时候能有更多时间做自己喜欢的事儿，还能遇见更好的人。
这个故事给我最大的启发就是，别害怕失败和失去，有时候这些就像是人生的一个急转弯，你以为要翻车了，其实是通往另一个精彩地方的入口。
最后那个关于死亡的故事，真的有点沉重但又特别醒脑。
乔布斯知道自己得了癌症，他把每一天都当成最后一天来过。
这让我想起我爷爷生病的时候，他就特别珍惜和家人在一起的时间。
乔布斯这么一说，我就觉得我们平常那些纠结的小事儿都太不值得了。
什么跟同事闹别扭啊，为了一点钱的事儿斤斤计较啊，在死亡面前都跟个屁似的。
我们就应该像乔布斯说的那样，勇敢地去追随自己的内心，别到死的时候才后悔自己没干这没干那。
乔布斯这三个故事啊，就像三把钥匙，打开了我对人生理解的新大门。

乔布斯演讲稿导读：范文乔布斯演讲稿【篇一：乔布斯演讲稿】这是苹果公司和Pixar动画工作室的CEOSteveJobs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。
没什么大不了的，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1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。

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.我今天很荣幸能和你们一起参加毕业典礼，斯坦福大学是世界上最好的大学之一。
我从来没有从大学中毕业。
说实话,今天也许是在我的生命中离大学毕业最近的一天了。
今天我想向你们讲述我生活中的三个故事。
不是什么大不了的事情,只是三个故事而已。
The first story is about connecting the dots.第一个故事是关于如何把生命中的点点滴滴串连起来。
I dropped out of Reed College after the first 6 months, but then stayed around as a drop-in for another 18 months or so before I really quit. So why did I drop out?我在Reed大学读了六个月之后就退学了,但是在十八个月以后——我真正的作出退学决定之前,我还经常去学校。
我为什么要退学呢？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 go to college. This was the start in my life. 故事从我出生的时候讲起。

乔布斯在斯坦福大学毕业典礼上的演讲即生命中的三个故事-中英双语
乔布斯在斯坦福大学毕业典礼上的演讲(英文)New York: 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 birthby 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 signthe 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, it's 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 thedots 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 DavidPackard and Bob Noyce and tried to apologize for screwing up so badly. I was a very public failure, and I even thought about running away from the valley. But something slowly began to dawn on me - I still loved what I did. The turn of events at Apple had not changed that one bit. I had been rejected, but I was still in love. And so I decided to start over.I didn't see it then, but it turned out that getting fired from Apple was the best thing that could have ever happened to me. The heaviness of being successful was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner again, less sure about everything. It freed me to enter one of the most creative periods of my life.During the next five years, I started a company named NeXT, another company named Pixar, and fell in love with an amazing woman who would become my wife. Pixar went on to create the worlds first computer animated feature film, Toy Story, and is now the most successful animation studio in the world. In a remarkable turn of events, Apple bought NeXT, I returned to Apple, and the technology we developed at NeXT is at the heart of Apple's current renaissance. And Laurene and I have a wonderful family together.I'm pretty sure none of this would have happened if I hadn't been fired from Apple. It was awful tasting medicine, but I guess the patient needed it. Sometimes life hits you in the head with abrick. 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 choices in life. Because almost everything - all external expectations, all pride, allfear 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 isdoctor'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 avery rare form of pancreatic cancer that is curable with surgery. I had the surgery and I'm fine now.This was the closest I've been to facing death, and I hope it's the closest I get for a few more decades. Having lived through it, I can now say this to you with a bit more certainty than when death was a useful but purely intellectual concept:No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don't want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life's change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new. Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic, but it is quite true.Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.When I was young, there was an amazing publication called The Whole Earth Catalog, which was one of the bibles of my generation. It was created by a fellow named Stewart Brand not far from here in Menlo Park, and he brought it to life with his poetic touch. This was in the late 1960's, before personal computers and desktop publishing, so it was all made with typewriters, scissors, and polaroid cameras. It was sort of like Google in paperback form, 35 years before Google came along: it was idealistic, and overflowing with neat tools and great notions.Stewart and his team put out several issues of The Whole Earth Catalog, and then when it had run its course, they put out a final issue. It was the mid-1970s, and I was your age. On the back cover of their final issue was a photograph of an early morning country road, the kind you might find yourself hitchhiking on if you were so adventurous. Beneath it were the words: "Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish." It was their farewell message as they signed off. Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish. And I have always wished that for myself. And now, as you graduate to begin anew, I wish that for you.Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish.Thank you all very much.(中文译文)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。

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.。
乔布斯斯坦福大学演讲：我人生的三个故事_高一作文
乔布斯斯坦福大学演讲：我人生的三个故事这是苹果电脑公司兼皮克斯动画公司的ＣＥＯ史蒂夫·乔布斯于2005年6月12日在斯坦佛大学毕业典礼上作的极富启发意义的演讲。
今天，我很荣幸能与你们一起参加你们的毕业典礼，斯坦佛大学是世界上最优秀的大学之一。
我根本不是一个大学毕业生。
说实话，这一次是我与大学毕业典礼最近距离的接触。
今天，我想给大家讲三个故事，它们来源于我的生活。
仅此而已，没什么大不了的，只是三个故事。
第一个故事是有关生活中的一切来龙去脉。
在呆了六个月之后，我便从里德学院辍学了，但在那之后，我以旁听者的身份在学院里又呆了18个月才真正离开大学。
那么，我为什么要辍学呢？话还要从我出生之前说起。
我的生母是一个年轻的未婚大学毕业生，她决定把我送去他人家收养，并坚持认为，收养我的人必须是大学毕业生。
在我出生前，所有关于收养我的事宜都已经安排妥当了。
我本该被一个律师和他的妻子收养，但等到我真正出生了，他和他的妻子却在最后时刻决定他们真正想要的是个女孩。
所以，我现在的养父母（他们当时在等候名单上）在半夜接到一通电话，“我们有一个意外出生的男孩，你们想收养他吗？”他们答复说，“当然想。
”但后来，我的生母发现了我的养母不是大学毕业生，而我的养父甚至连高中中学都没有毕业，于是她回绝在最终的收养文件上签字。
几个月后，她才最后妥协了，因为我的养父母保证以后会送我去上大学。
十七年过去了，我真地上了大学。
但我却很天真地挑了一个和斯坦福大学一样学费昂贵的学校，光是学费就花掉了我养父母辛辛苦苦积累多年的积蓄，他们只是工薪阶层。
在学校待了六个月后，我看不出这学费花得值得。
我不知道我的人生计划是什么，也不知道大学能够如何帮助我找到这一目的。
而且，我在学校念书会花掉养父母一生的积蓄。
于是，我决定辍学，并深信这是一个正确的决定。
当时，这是一个相当冒险的举动，但今天回头看看，那是我做出的最明智的决定之一。
辍学之后，我马上逃离了那些我对之乏味的课程，转而开始旁听那些看起来很有趣的科目。

The first story is about connecting the dots. 第一个故事是关于串起你生命中的点滴。
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? 在里德学院呆了六个月我就退学了，不过我又在那里逗留了 18 个月才 真正离开。那么我为什么会退学呢？
史蒂夫•乔布斯 Steve Paul Jobs
“苹果”电脑的创始人之一，1985年获 得了由里根总统授予的国家级技术勋章； 19 97 年成为《时代周刊》的封面人物；同年被 评为最成功的管理者，是声名显赫的“计算 机狂人”。
成长记录:
他是一个美国式的英雄，几经起伏，但 依然屹立不倒，就像海明威在《老人与海》 中说到的，一个人可以被毁灭，但不能被打 倒。他和斯蒂夫•沃茨创造了“苹果”，掀起 了个人电脑的风潮，改变了一个时代，但却 在最顶峰的时候被封杀，从高峰跌落谷底。 但是 12 年后，他又卷土重来，重新开始第二 个“斯蒂夫•乔布斯”时代。
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:
这并不是一种很浪漫的生活。我没有 宿舍住，睡在朋友宿舍的地板上；收集空 可乐瓶，每个瓶子换回押金五美分供我买 食物。每周日晚上，我会穿过波特兰市区， 走七英里去 Hare Krishna 神庙去吃顿好 的（译注： Hare Krishna 神庙是印度教 修习场所，周日有灵修活动和免费聚餐）。 我很喜欢这顿牙祭。很多在这段跟随自己 的好奇心和直觉度过的日子里学到的东西， 后来都让我获益匪浅。且让我给你们举个 例子：
Steve Jobs’ Commencement Address 2005 2005年乔布斯在斯坦福大学毕业典礼上的演说
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. 我很荣幸今天在此参加各位从世界最 优秀的大学之一的毕业典礼。我从未从任何 一所学院毕业，老实说，这是我有生以来最 接近大学毕业的一次经历。今天，我向告诉 大家我一生中的三个故事。
6.我们认为看电视的时候，人的大脑基本停止 工作，打开电脑的时候，大脑才开始运转。 7.我是我所知唯一一个在一年中失去2.5亿美元 的人...这对我的成长很有帮助。 8.我愿意把我所有的科技去换取和苏格拉底相 处的一个下午。 9.活着就是为了改变世界，难道还有其他原因 吗？ 10.你的时间有限，所以不要为别人而活。不要 被教条所限，不要活在别人的观念里。不要 让别人的意见左右自己内心的声音。最重要 的是，勇敢的去追随自己的心灵和直觉，只 有自己的心灵和直觉才知道你自己的真实想 法，其他一切都是次要。
…stay hungry, I am honored to be with you today at your stay foolish. 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. 我很荣幸在今天在此参加各位从世界最优秀的大学之 一毕业的典礼.我从未从任何一所学院毕业，老实说， 这是我有生以来最贴近大学的毕业的一次经历。今天， 我向告诉大家我一生中的三个故事。 The first story is about connecting the dots. 第一个故事是关圆点连线的。
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. 故事始于在我出生以前。我的生母是个年轻未婚的大学毕业生，她决定把我交给 别人收养。她很坚持我的养父母也应该是大学毕业。于是安排好了让我在出生时被一 个律师和她的妻子所收养，不过在我被正式领养前的最后一分钟，那对律师夫妇确定 他们真正想要的是一个女孩。 所以我那在等待批准的申请人名单上的父 母在半夜接到了一个电话：“我们不小心生了 个男孩儿，你们收养他吗？”“当然”我养父 母回答。我的生母后来才发现，我的养母从来 没有从大学毕业过，而我的养父甚至高中都没 有毕业。她拒绝在领养协议上签字。直到几个 月之后，他们答应我的生母，将来送我去上大 学，她这才同意了。
1. 领袖和跟风者的区别就在于创新。 2. 成为卓越的代名词，很多人并不能适合需要 杰出素质的环境。 3. 成就一番伟业的唯一途径就是热爱自己的事 业。如果你还没能找到让自己热爱的事业， 继续寻找，不要放弃。跟随自己的心，总有 一天你会找到的。 4. 并不是每个人都需要种植自己的粮食，也不 是每个人都需要做自己穿的衣服，我们说着 别人发明的语言，使用别人发明的数学...我 们一直在使用别人的成果。使用人类的已有 经验和知识来进行发明创造是一件很了不起 的事情。 5. 佛教中有一句话：初学者的心态；拥有初学 者的心态是件了不起的事情。
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 workingclass 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. 十七年后，我真的去了大学，但是我天真的选择了一所和斯坦福一样贵的大 学。我工薪阶层的养父母所有的积蓄眼看着都被我花在了学费上。六个月之后， 我看不到这笔费用的真实价值。我对怎样展开人生茫然不知，也不知道大学能否 帮我什么。然而在这里我就要花光父母一声的积蓄。所以我决定退学，并相信一 切都能解决。在当时是个罕见的举动，但是回想起来，这是我所做的最好的决定 之一！退学后我可以停止学习那些自己不喜欢的必修课，并开始旁听那些有趣的 课程。
