1、2005/7/26 Steve Jobs 在斯坦福 2005 畢業(yè)典禮上的演講 Stay Hungry, Stay Foolish Stay Hungry, Stay Foolish Transcript of Steve Jobs 2005 Stanford Commencement Speech Thank you. Im honored to be with you today for your commencement (畢業(yè)典 禮) from one of the finest universities in the world. Truth be told, I never gra

2、duated from college and this is the closest Ive ever gotten to a college graduation. Today I want to tell you three stories from my life. Thats 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

3、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,

4、so everythingwas all set 準(zhǔn)備就緒 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 等候批準(zhǔn)的申請人名單 , got a call in the middle of the night asking, Weve got an unexpe

5、cted 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 prom

6、ised 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 天真無邪地 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

7、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 全部的 life. So I decided to drop out and trust that it would all work out OK. It was pretty sca

8、ry 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 必須的 classes that didnt interest me and begin dropping in on the ones that looked far more interesting. It wasnt all romantic. I didnt have a dorm room, so I slep

9、t on the floor in friends rooms. I returned Coke bottles for the five-cent deposits付定金 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 無意中卷入 by following my curiosit

10、y and intuition 直覺 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, everylabel 標(biāo)簽 on every drawer was beautifully hand-calligraphed. Because I had dropped o

11、ut and didnt 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 有和沒有襯 線的字樣,字體, about varying 呈現(xiàn)不同 the amount of space between different letter combinations, about what makes great typography great. It was bea

12、utiful, historical, artistically subtle 微妙的 in a way that science cant capture 俘獲 , 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 al

13、l 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 多種多 樣的 typefaces or proportionally spaced fonts 字形, and since Windows just copied the Mac, its likely that no personal computer would

14、 have them. If I had never dropped out, I would have never dropped in on thatcalligraphy (書法 ) 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 lookin

15、g backwards 10 years later. Again, you cant 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 膽量,勇氣,決心 , destiny, life, karma 命運, whatever-because believing th

16、at the dots will connect down the road will give you the confidence to follow your heart, even when itleads you off 開始 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

17、 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 車庫 into a billion company with over 4,000 employees. Wed just released our finest creation, the Macintosh, a year earlier, and Id just turned thirty, and then I got fired. How c

18、an 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 分歧, and eventually we had a falling out 爭吵,解散 . When we d

19、id, 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 毀滅性的 . I really didnt know what to do for a few months. I felt that I had let the previous generation of entrepreneurs down,

20、 that I had dropped the baton 指揮棒 as it was being passed to me. I met with David Packard and Bob Noyce and tried to apologize for screwing up 把搞糟 so badly. I was a very public failure and I even thought about running away from the Valley. But something slowly began to dawn 降臨 on me. I still loved wh

21、at I did. The turn of events at Apple had not changed that one bit. Id been rejected but I was still in love. And so I decided to start over. I didnt 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

22、 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 wi

23、fe. Pixar went on to create the worlds first computer- animated 栩栩如生的 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 Apples cur

24、rent renaissance, and Lorene and I have a wonderful family together. Im pretty sure none of this would have happened if I hadnt been fired from Apple. It was awful-tasting medicine but I guess the patient needed it. Sometimes lifes going to hit you in the head with a brick. Dont lose faith. Im convi

25、nced that the only thing that kept me going was that I loved what I did. Youve 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 t

26、he only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you havent found it yet, keep looking, and dont settle. As with all matters of the heart, youll know when you find it, and like any great relationship it just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking. Dont settle. My third s

27、tory 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 youll 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

28、 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 Ill be dead soon is the most important thing Ive ever encountered 遇到 to help me make the big choices in life,

29、because almost everything-all external 外面的 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. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have somethi

30、ng to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart. About a year ago, I was diagnosed 診斷 with cancer. I had a scan at 7:30 in the morning and it clearly showed a tumor 瘤 on my pancreas 胰腺 . I didnt even know what a pancreas was. The doctors told me this was almost certain

31、ly 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 youd have the next ten years to

32、 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 your family. It means to say your goodbyes. I lived with that diagnosis all day. Later that evening I had abiopsy 活體檢查 where they stuck an endoscope 內(nèi)窺鏡 down my throat, t

33、hrough my stomach into my intestines, put a needle 針 into my pancreas and got a few cells from the tumor. I was sedated 平靜的 but my wife, who was there, told me that when they viewed the cells under a microscope, the doctor started crying, because it turned out to be a very rare form of pancreatic ca

34、ncer that is curable with surgery. I had the surgery and, thankfully, I am fine now. This was the closest rve bee n 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

35、purely intellectual con cept. No one wants to die, eve n people who want to go to Heave n dont want to die to get there, and yet, death is the dest in ati on we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because death is very likely the sin gle best inven ti on of life. Its

36、lifes cha nge age nt; 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 its quite true. Your time is limited, so dont waste it liv ing some one elses life. Dont be trapped by dogma 教條,which is liv ing with the results of other peoples thinking. Dont let the no ise of others opinions drow n out your own inner voice, heart andintuition 直覺.They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everythi ng else is sec on dary. Wh
