乔布斯斯坦福大学演讲中文译文Steve Jobs说，你得找出你爱的(You’ve got to find what you love.)。
今天，有荣幸来到各位从世界上最好的学校之一毕业的毕业典礼上。
我从来没从大学毕业。
说实话，这是我离大学毕业最近的一刻。
今天，我只说三个故事，不谈大道理，三个故事就好。
第一个故事，是关于人生中的点点滴滴怎么串连在一起。
我在里德学院（Reed college）待了六个月就办休学了。
到我退学前，一共休学了十八个月。
那么，我为什么休学？这得从我出生前讲起。
我的亲生母亲当时是个研究生，年轻未婚妈妈，她决定让别人收养我。
她强烈觉得应该让有大学毕业的人收养我，所以我出生时，她就准备让我被一对律师夫妇收养。
但是这对夫妻到了最后一刻反悔了，他们想收养女孩。
所以在等待收养名单上的一对夫妻，我的养父母，在一天半夜里接到一通电话，问他们「有一名意外出生的男孩，你们要认养他吗？」而他们的回答是「当然要」。
后来，我的生母发现，我现在的妈妈从来没有大学毕业，我现在的爸爸则连高中毕业也没有。
她拒绝在认养文件上做最后签字。
直到几个月后，我的养父母同意将来一定会让我上大学，她才软化态度。
十七年后，我上大学了。
但是当时我无知选了一所学费几乎跟史丹佛一样贵的大学，我那工人阶级的父母所有积蓄都花在我的学费上。
六个月后，我看不出念这个书的价值何在。
那时候，我不知道这辈子要干什么，也不知道念大学能对我有什么帮助，而且我为了念这个书，花光了我父母这辈子的所有积蓄，所以我决定休学，相信船到桥头自然直。
当时这个决定看来相当可怕，可是现在看来，那是我这辈子做过最好的决定之一。
当我休学之后，我再也不用上我没兴趣的必修课，把时间拿去听那些我有兴趣的课。
这一点也不浪漫。
我没有宿舍，所以我睡在友人家里的地板上，靠着回收可乐空罐的五先令退费买吃的，每个星期天晚上得走七里的路绕过大半个镇去印度教的Hare Krishna神庙吃顿好料。
乔布斯大学演讲稿英文
Ladies and Gentlemen, esteemed faculty, proud alumni, and most importantly, the future leaders of tomorrow,It is an honor to stand before you today at this prestigious university. As you all know, this is a place where knowledge is pursued, dreams are nurtured, and futures are shaped. I am here to share with you a story of passion, innovation, and the relentless pursuit of what truly matters in life.I want to start by asking you a question: What are you passionate about?I am not asking you to think about what you would like to do with your life, but rather what you are deeply, truly passionate about. Because, as I have come to learn over the years, passion is the fuel that drives real success.When I was young, I was fortunate enough to have a mentor who taught me about the importance of passion. His name was Steve Wozniak, and he was the co-founder of Apple. We started Apple not because we were looking to make money, but because we were passionate about creating something that would change the world. We were passionate about technology, about making computers accessible to everyone, and about pushing the boundaries of what was possible.That passion is what led us to develop the first Apple computer, and it is what has driven us ever since. It is what keeps us going when the road gets tough, and it is what makes us excited about the future.Now, let me tell you a little secret: passion is not something you can easily define or measure. It is a feeling, a driving force, an invisible energy that propels you forward. It is what gets you out of bed in the morning, and it is what keeps you going when the going gets tough.But why is passion so important? Let me give you a few reasons:1. Passion fuels creativity.When you are passionate about something, you are more likely to think creatively and come up with new ideas. Passion allows you to look atthings from different angles, to challenge the status quo, and to push the boundaries of what is possible.2. Passion inspires perseverance.Inevitably, life will throw you curveballs. You will face obstacles, setbacks, and failures. But if you are passionate about what you are doing, you will find the strength to persevere. Passion is what keeps you going when the road gets tough, and it is what allows you to bounce back from adversity.3. Passion leads to success.Passion is not just about doing what you love; it is also about doing it well. When you are passionate about something, you are more likely to put in the time and effort necessary to excel. Success is not about the destination; it is about the journey, and passion is what makes that journey worthwhile.Now, let me share with you a few lessons I have learned about passion:1. Follow your heart.Too often, we get caught up in what others expect of us or what we think we should be doing. But life is too short to live according to other people's expectations. Follow your heart, and do what makes you truly happy.2. Never settle for mediocrity.Passion is not about settling for what is easy or convenient. It is about pushing yourself to be the best you can be, even when it is difficult. Never settle for anything less than excellence.3. Surround yourself with people who share your passion.Passion is contagious. When you are surrounded by others who are passionate about the same things you are, it can inspire you to achieve even more. Find a community of like-minded individuals who will support you and challenge you to be better.4. Stay curious.Curiosity is the foundation of passion. Always be eager to learn and explore new things. The more you learn, the more passionate you will become about what you are doing.As you move forward in your lives, remember this: passion is not just a feeling; it is a choice. It is a choice to live with purpose, to pursue what you love, and to make a difference in the world.I leave you with a quote from the great author, Ralph Waldo Emerson: "To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment."So, go out there and be yourself. Follow your passion. Innovate. Create. Dream. And remember, the only way to do great work is to love what you do.Thank you, and may your passion be the guiding light on your journey to success.The End。

乔布斯斯坦福大学演讲英文原文：Stanford Report, June 14, 2005‘You’ve got to find what you love,’ Jobs saysThis is the text of the Commencement address by Steve Jobs,CEO of Apple Computer and of Pixar Animation Studios, delivered on June 12, 2005.I am honored to be with you today at your commencement from one of the finest universities in the world. I never graduated from college. Truth be told, this is the closest I’ve ever gotten to a college graduation. Today I want to tell you three stories from my life. That’s it. No big deal. Just three stories.The first story is about connecting the dots.I dropped out of Reed College after the first 6 months, but then stayed around as a drop-in for another 18 months or so before I really quit. So why did I drop out?It started before I was born. My biological mother was a young, unwed college graduate student, and she decided to put me up for adoption. She felt very strongly that I should be adopted by college graduates, so everything was all set for me to be adopted at birth by a lawyer and his wife. Except that when I popped out they decided at the last minute that they really wanted a girl. So my parents, who were on a waiting list, got a call in the middle of the night asking: “We have an 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 tui tion. 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 acrosstown 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 scien ce 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 $2 billion company with over 4000 employees. We had just released our finest creation – the Macintosh – a yearearlier, 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. Theheaviness 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. 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 he lp 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 thoughtyou’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 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 hitchh iking 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.。
乔布斯演讲稿英文版三篇
乔布斯演讲稿英文版三篇Speech 1: “Stay Hungry, Stay Foolish”Ladies and gentlemen,Thank you for being here today. I stand before you as a humble individual, but one who has been fortunate enough to witness the incredible power of technology in shaping our world. Today, I want to share with you a message that has guided me throughout my journey, and I hope it will inspire you too.“Stay hungry, stay foolish.”These words were famously uttered by the great Stewart Brand in his publication, The Whole Earth Catalog. They encapsulate a mindset that has driven me and countless others to push the boundaries of what is possible. It is the spirit of curiosity, of never settling for the status quo, that has propelled humanity forward. To stay hungry means to never lose that fire within us that drives us to seek knowledge, to innovate, and to explore new frontiers. It is this hunger that led me to co-found Apple, a company that has revolutionized the world of technology. But, it is not just about creating products; it is about creating experiences that enrich people’s lives.To stay foolish means to embrace our naivety, to not be limited by what others perceive as possible. It is this foolishness that allowed me to dream big and envision a world where technology is seamlessly integrated into our daily lives. It is this foolishness that led to the creation of the iPhone, a device that changed the way we communicate forever.But staying hungry and staying foolish is not just for the dreamers and the innovators. It is a message for all of us. It is a reminder that we should never stop learning, never stop questioning, and never stop pushing ourselves to be better. It is a reminder that we all have the power to make a difference.So, my message to you today is simple: stay hungry, stay foolish. Embrace your curiosity, embrace your dreams, and never be afraid to take risks. In doing so, you will not only shape your own future, but also the future of our world.Thank you.Speech 2: “The Power of Simplicity”Good evening, ladies and gentlemen,Today, I want to talk to you about the power of simplicity. In a world that is becoming increasingly complex, it is easy to get lost in the noise. But, it is simplicity that allows us to cut through the clutter and find clarity.At Apple, we have always believed in the power of simplicity. We strive to create products that are not only beautiful and elegant, but also intuitive and easy to use. We believe that technology should enhance our lives, not complicate them.But simplicity is not just about design; it is about mindset. It is about focusing on what truly matters and eliminating the unnecessary. It is about distilling complex ideas into simple concepts that everyone can understand.Steve Jobs once said, “Simple can be harder than complex: You have to work hard to get your thinking clean to make it simple. Butit’s worth it in the end because once you get there, you can move mountains.”And move mountains we did. We simplified the way we listen to music with the iPod, we simplified the way we communicate with the iPhone, and we simplified the way we interact with technology with the iPad. And we will continue to simplify, innovate, and push the boundaries of what is possible.But simplicity is not just about technology; it is a way of life. It is about decluttering our minds, our homes, and our lives. It is about finding joy in the simple pleasures and focusing on what truly matters.So, my message to you today is this: embrace simplicity. Look for ways to simplify your life, your work, and your relationships. Cut through the noise and find clarity. And remember, simplicity is not about taking away; it is about adding value.Thank you.Speech 3: “The Power of Failure”Good evening, ladies and gentlemen,Today, I want to talk to you about the power of failure. It may seem counterintuitive, but failure is not something to be feared; it is something to be embraced. It is through failure that we learn, grow, and ultimately succeed.Throughout my career, I have faced numerous setbacks and failures. But it is these experiences that have shaped me into the person I am today. It is through failure that I have gained resilience, determination, and the ability to persevere.One of Apple’s most famous failures was the Apple Lisa. It was a commercial failure, but it laid the groundwork for the Macintosh, which went on to become one of the most successful products in Apple’s history. It is a reminder that failure is not the end; it is just a stepping stone on the path to success.Failure also teaches us humility. It reminds us that we are not infallible, that we make mistakes, and that we can always learn and improve. It is through failure that we gain the wisdom and experience to make better decisions in the future.But perhaps most importantly, failure fuels innovation. It is through failure that we discover new ideas, new approaches, and new solutions. It is through failure that we push the boundaries of what is possible and create breakthroughs that change the world. So, my message to you today is this: embrace failure. Don’t be afraid to take risks, to step outside of your comfort zone, and to try new things. Learn from your failures, grow from your setbacks, and let them propel you forward.Remember, failure is not the end; it is just the beginning of a new chapter. It is through failure that we find success.Thank you.。

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.

Woz1 and I started Apple in myparents' 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 two billion dollar company with over 4000 employees.

Pixar went on to create the world's first computer-animatedfeature 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 theheart of Apple's current renaissance. And Laurene and I have a wonderful familytogether.I'm pretty sure none of this would have happened if I hadn't beenfired from Apple. Itwas awful tasting medicine, but I guess the patient needed it. Sometime life -- Sometimes life going to hit you in the head with a brick. Don't lose faith. I'm convinced thatthe 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. Yourwork 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 itwas your last, someday you'll most certainly be right." It made an impression on me,and since then, for the past 33 years, I've 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 and 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 sothat 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 stuckan 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, whowas 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 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 todie.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 outyour own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to followyour 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 late60s, before personal computers and desktop publishing, so it was all made with typewriters, scissors, and Polaroid cameras. It was sort oflike Google in paperback form, 35 years before Google came along. It was idealistic, overflowingwith 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 theirfinal 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 messageas they signed off. Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish. And I've alwayswished 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.译文如下:今天，很荣幸来到各位从世界上最好的学校之一毕业的毕业典礼上。
乔布斯演讲稿英文版
Thank you. I'm honored to be w it h 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 an other 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 ref used 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 naïvely 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 was beautifully hand-calligraphed. Because I had dropped out anddidn'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 need ed 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.

新生活，下面是整理的乔布斯哈佛大学演讲稿中英文乔布斯哈佛大学演讲稿中英文
President Bok, former President Rudenstine, incoming President Faust, members of the Harvard Corporation and the Board of Overseers, members of the facuty, parents, and especiay, the graduates: 尊敬的Bok校长，Rudenstine前校长，即将上任的Faust校长，哈佛集团的各位成员，监管理事会的各位
理事，各位老师，各位家长，各位同学：
Ive been waiting more than 30 years to say this: Dad, I aways tod you Id come back and get my degree.
有一句话我等了三十年，现在终于可以说了：老爸，
我总是跟你说，我会回来拿到我的学位的!
I want to thank Harvard for this timey honor. I be changing my job next year ... and it wi be nice to finay have a coege degree on my resume.
我要感谢哈佛大学在这个时候给我这个荣誉。
明年，
我就要换工作了(注：指从微软公司退休)......我终于可以在简历上写我有一个大学学位，这真是不错埃
I appaud the graduates today for taking a much more direct route to your degrees. For my part, Im just happy that the Crimson has caed me Harvards most successfu dropout. I guethat makes me vaedictorian of my own specia ca... I did the best of everyone who faied.
我为今天在座的各位同学感到高兴，你们拿到学位可比我简单多了。
哈佛的校报称我是哈佛大学历史上最成功的辍学生。
我想这大概使我有资格代表我这一类学生发言......在所有的失败者里，我做得最好。
But I aso want to be recognized as the guy who got Steve Bamer to drop out of busineschoo. Im a bad infuence.Thats why I was invited to speak at your graduation. If I had spoken at your orientation, fewer of you might be here today.
但是，我还要提醒大家，我使得Steve Bamer(注：微软总经理)也从哈佛商学院退学了。
因此，我是个有着恶劣影响力的人。
这就是为什么我被邀请来在你们的毕业典礼上演讲。
如果我在你们入学欢迎仪式上演讲，那么能够坚持到今天在这里毕业的人也许会少得多吧。
Harvard was just a phenomena experience for me. Academic ife was fascinating. I used to sit in on ots of casses I hadnt even signed up for. And dorm ife was terrific. I ived up at Radciffe, in Currier House. There were aways ots of peope in my dorm room ate at night discussing things, because everyone knew Ididnt worry about getting up in the morning. Thats how I came to be the eader of the anti-socia group. We cung to each other as a way of vaidating our rejection of a those socia peope.
对我来说，哈佛的求学经历是一段非凡的经历。
校园
生活很有趣，我常去旁听我没选修的课。
哈佛的课外生
活也很棒，我在Radciffe过着逍遥自在的日子。
每天我的寝室里总有很多人一直待到半夜，讨论着各种事情。
因为每个人都知道我从不考虑第二天早起。
这使得我变
成了校园里那些不安分学生的头头，我们互相粘在一起，做出一种拒绝所有正常学生的姿态。
Radciffe was a great pace to ive. There were more women up there, and most of the guys were
science-math types. That combination offered me the best odds, if you know what I mean. This is where I earned the sad esson that improving your odds doesnt
guarantee success.
Radciffe是个过日子的好地方。
那里的女生比男生多，而且大多数男生都是理工科的。
这种状况为我创造了最
好的机会，如果你们明白我的意思。
可惜的是，我正是
在这里学到了人生中悲伤的一课：机会大，并不等于你
就会成功。
One of my biggest memories of Harvard came in January 1975, when I made a ca from Currier House to a company in Abuquerque that had begun ma-ki-ng the words first persona computers. I offered to se them software.
我在哈佛最难忘的回忆之一，发生在1975年1月。
那时，我从宿舍楼里给位于Abuquerque的一家公司打了一个电话，那家公司已经在着手制造世界上第一台个人电脑。
我提出想向他们出售软件。
