1、Thank you. Im 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 Ive ever gotten to a college graduation.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。Tod

7、何我要选选择退学学呢?这这还得从从我出生生之前说说起。我我的生母母是一个个年轻、未婚的的大学毕毕业生,她决定定让别人人收养我我。她有有一个很很强烈的的信仰,认为我我应该被被一个大大学毕业业生家庭庭收养。于是,一对律律师夫妇妇说好了了要领养养我,然然而最后后一秒钟钟,他们们改变了了主意,决定要要个女孩孩儿。然然后我排排在收养养人名单单中的养养父母在在一个深深夜接到到电话,“很意外外,我们们多了一一个男婴婴,你们们要吗?”“当然然要!”但是我我的生母母后来又又发现我我的养母母没有大大学毕业业,养父父连高中中都没有有毕业。她拒绝绝在领养养书上签签字。几几个月后后,我的的养父母母保证会会让我上上大学,
8、她妥协协了。Thiss waas tthe staart in my liffe.

12、最最好的决决定之一一。从我我退学的的那一刻刻起,我我可以停停止一切切不感兴兴趣的必必修课,开始旁旁听那些些有意思思得多的的课。It wwasnnt alll roomannticc. II diidnt hhavee a dorrm rroomm, sso II slleptt onn thhe fflooor iin ffrieendss rroomms.

17、d I fouund it fasscinnatiing.当时的里里德大学学提供可可能是全全国最好好的书法法指导。校园中中每一张张海报,抽屉上上的每一一张标签签,都是是漂亮的的手写体体。由于于我已退退学,不不用修那那些必修修课,我我决定选选一门书书法课上上上。在在这门课课上,我我学会了了“seeriff”和saans-serrif两种字字体、学学会了怎怎样在不不同的字字母组合合中改变变字间距距、学会会了怎样样写出好好的字来来。这是是一种科科学无法法捕捉的的微妙,楚楚动动人、充充满历史史底蕴和和艺术性性,我觉觉得自己己被完全全吸引了了。Nonee off thhis hadd evven a h

20、以后的的生活中中能有什什么实用用价值。但是,十年之之后,我我们在设设计第一一台 MMaciintoosh计计算机时时,它一一下子浮浮现在我我眼前。于是,我们把把这些东东西全都都设计进进了计算算机中。这是第第一台有有这么漂漂亮的文文字版式式的计算算机。要要不是我我当初在在大学里里偶然选选了这么么一门课课,Maacinntossh计算算机绝不不会有那那么多种种印刷字字体或间间距安排排合理的的字号。要不是是Winndowws照搬搬了 MMaciintoosh,个人电电脑可能能不会有有这些字字体和字字号。If II haad nneveer ddropppedd ouut, I wwoulld hha

31、很早就发发现自己己喜欢做做的事情情。我二二十岁的的时候就就和沃茨茨在父母母的车库库里开创创了苹果果公司。我们工工作得很很努力,十年后后,苹果果公司成成长为拥拥有四千千名员工工,价值值二十亿亿的大公公司。我我们刚刚刚推出了了最好的的创意,Maccinttoshh操作系系统,在在这之前前的一年年,也就就是我刚刚过三十十岁,我我被解雇雇了。你你怎么可可能被一一个亲手手创立的的公司解解雇?事事情是这这样的,在公司司成长期期间,我我雇佣了了一个我我们认为为非常聪聪明,可可以和我我一起经经营公司司的人。一年后后,我们们对公司司未来的的看法产产生分歧歧,董事事会站在在了他的的一边。于是,在我三三十岁的的时候
32、,我出局局了,很很公开地地出局了了。我整整个成年年生活的的焦点没没了,这这很要命命。一开开始的几几个月我我真的不不知道该该干什么么。我觉觉得我让让公司的的前一代代创建者者们失望望了,我我把传给给我的权权杖给弄弄丢了。我与戴戴维德帕珂德德和鲍勃勃诺埃斯斯见面,试图为为这彻头头彻尾的的失败道道歉。我我败得如如此之惨惨以至于于我想要要逃离硅硅谷。但但有个东东西在慢慢慢地叫叫醒我:我还爱爱着我从从事的行行业。这这次失败败一点儿儿都没有有改变这这一点。我被逐逐了,但但我仍爱爱着我的的事业。我决定定重新开开始。I diidnt ssee it theen, butt itt tuurneed oout t

46、亡。我我17岁的的时候读读到过一一句话“如果你你把每一一天都当当作最后后一天过过,有一一天你会会发现你你是正确确的”。这句句话给我我留下了了深刻的的印象。从那以以后,过过去的333年,每天早早上我都都会对着着镜子问问自己:“如果今今天是我我的最后后一天,我会不不会做我我想做的的事情呢呢?”如果连连着一段段时间,答案都都是否定定的的话话,我就就知道我我需要改改变一些些东西了了。提醒醒自己就就要死了了是我遇遇见的最最大的帮帮助,帮帮我作了了生命中中的大决决定。因因为几乎乎任何事事所有有的荣耀耀、骄傲傲、对难难堪和失失败的恐恐惧在死亡亡面前都都会消隐隐,留下下真正重重要的东东西。提提醒自己己就要死死
47、亡是我我知道的的最好的的方法,用来避避开担心心失去某某些东西西的陷阱阱。你已已经赤裸裸裸了,没有理理由不听听从于自自己的心心愿。Abouut aa yeear agoo, II waas ddiaggnossed witth ccanccer.
