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。 T
2、oday I want to tell you three stories from my life. Thats it. No big deal. Just three stories. 今天我想告告诉大家家来自我我生活的的三个故故事。没没什么大大不了的的,只是是三个故故事而已已。 The ffirsst sstorry iis aabouut cconnnecttingg thhe ddotss. 第一个故事事,如何何串连生生命中的的点滴。 I drooppeed oout of Reeed Colllegge aafteer tthe firrst sixx moonthhs bbut

7、常去去学校。为为何我要要选择退退学呢?这还得得从我出出生之前前说起。我我的生母母是一个个年轻、未未婚的大大学毕业业生,她她决定让让别人收收养我。她她有一个个很强烈烈的信仰仰,认为为我应该该被一个个大学毕毕业生家家庭收养养。于是是,一对对律师夫夫妇说好好了要领领养我,然然而最后后一秒钟钟,他们们改变了了主意,决决定要个个女孩儿儿。然后后我排在在收养人人名单中中的养父父母在一一个深夜夜接到电电话,“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。她她拒绝在在领养书书上签字字。几个个月后,我我的养父父
8、母保证证会让我我上大学学,她妥妥协了。 This wass thhe sstarrt iin mmy llifee.

12、始非非常吓人人,但回回忆起来来,这却却是我一一生中作作的最好好的决定定之一。从从我退学学的那一一刻起,我我可以停停止一切切不感兴兴趣的必必修课,开开始旁听听那些有有意思得得多的课课。 It waasnt aall rommanttic.

25、信这这些点滴滴能够一一路连接接会给你你带来循循从本觉觉的自信信,它使使你远离离平凡,变变得与众众不同。 My seeconnd sstorry iis aabouut llovee annd llosss. II waas lluckky. I ffounnd wwhatt I lovved to do earrly in liffe.

Andd soo I deccideed tto sstarrt ooverr. 第二个故事事是关于于爱与失失的。我我很幸运运,很早早就发现现自己喜喜欢做的的事情。我我二十岁岁的时候候就和沃沃茨在父父母的车车库里开开创了苹苹果公司司。我们们工作得得很努力力,十年年后,苹苹果公司司成长为为拥有四四千名员员工,价价值二十十亿的大大公司。我我们刚刚刚推出了了最好的的创意,Macintosh操作系统,在这之前的一年,也就是我刚过三十岁,我被解雇了。你怎么可能被一个亲手创立的公司解雇?事情是这样的,在公司成长期间,我雇佣了一个我们认为非常聪明,可以和我一起经营公司的人。一年后,我们对
32、公司未来的看法产生分歧,董事会站在了他的一边。于是,在我三十岁的时候,我出局了,很公开地出局了。我整个成年生活的焦点没了,这很要命。一开始的几个月我真的不知道该干什么。我觉得我让公司的前一代创建者们失望了,我把传给我的权杖给弄丢了。我与戴维德帕珂德和鲍勃诺埃斯见面,试图为这彻头彻尾的失败道歉。我败得如此之惨以至于我想要逃离硅谷。但有个东西在慢慢地叫醒我:我还爱着我从事的行业。这次失败一点儿都没有改变这一点。我被逐了,但我仍爱着我的事业。我决定重新开始。 I diddntt seee iit tthenn, bbut it turrnedd ouut tthatt geettiing firre

36、经是世界最成功的动画制作工作室了。 In a remmarkkablle tturnn off evventts, Appple bouughtt NeeXT andd I retturnned to Appple andd thhe ttechhnollogyy wee deevellopeed aat NNeXTT iss att thhe hhearrt oof AApplless cuurreent rennaisssannce, annd LLoreene andd I havve aa woondeerfuul ffamiily toggethher. 在一系列的的成功运运转后,苹
37、苹果收购购了NeeXT,我我又回到到了苹果果。我们们在NeeXT开开发的技技术在苹苹果的复复兴中起起了核心心作用,另另外劳琳琳和我组组建了一一个幸福福的家庭庭。 Im pprettty surre nnonee off thhis wouuld havve hhapppeneed iif II haadnt bbeenn fiiredd frrom Appple.

41、不要丧失失信心。我我确信唯唯一让我我一路走走下来的的是我对对自己所所做事情情的热爱爱。你必必须去找找你热爱爱的东西西,对工工作如此此,对你你的爱人人也是这这样的。工工作会占占据你生生命中很很大的一一部分,你你只有相相信自己己做的是是伟大的的工作,你你才能怡怡然自得得。如果果你还没没有找到到,那么么就继续续找,不不要停。全全心全意意地找,当当你找到到时,你你会知道道的。就就像任何何真诚的的关系,随随着时间间的流逝逝,只会会越来越越紧密。所所以继续续找,不不要停。 My thhirdd sttoryy iss abboutt deeathh.

46、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。从从那以后后,过去去的333年,每每天早上上我都会会对着镜镜子问自自己:“如果今今天是我我的最后后一天,我我会不会会做我想想做的事事情呢?”如果连连着一段段时间,答答案都是是否定的的的话,我我就知道道我需要要改变一一些东西西了。提提醒自己己就要死死了是我我遇见的的最大的的帮助,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亡是我我知道的的
47、最好的的方法,用用来避开开担心失失去某些些东西的的陷阱。你你已经赤赤裸裸了了,没有有理由不不听从于于自己的的心愿。 Aboutt a yeaar aago, I wass diiagnnoseed wwithh caanceer.
