14、connecting the dots. 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。第一个故事是关于串起你生命中的点滴。第一个故事是关于串起你生命中的点滴。第一个故事是关于串起你生命中的点滴。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。It started before I was born. My biolog
15、ical 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 th
16、e 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
17、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.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
18、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。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 couldnt see the value in it. I had no idea wh

20、一声声的的积积蓄蓄。所所以以我我决决定定退退学学，并并相相信信一一切切都都能能解解决决。在在当当时时是是个个罕罕见见的的举举动动，但但是是回回想想起起来来，这这是是我我所所做做的的最最好好的的决决定定之之一一！退退学学后后我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。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。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
21、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 didnt interest me, and begin dropping in on the ones that looked interesting.It wasnt al
22、l romantic. I didnt 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 int
23、o 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HareKrishna神庙去吃顿好的（译注：HareKrishna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：R
24、eed 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 didnt have to take the normal classes, I decided to take a calligraphy class to
25、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 cant capture, and I found it fascinating.当时里德
26、学院的书法课程大概是美国国内最好的了。整个校园每一张海报每一张标签出自每一个创作者都是漂亮的手写字。用不着去上常规课，我就参加了一门书法课，去学写漂亮的字。学习serif和sanserif（两种西文字体，比较工整的），关于在不同字组合之间的间隙的变化，以及什么使得凸版印刷伟大。书法很美，历史悠久，而且有着精妙的艺术感，为科学所无法企及，我对它入了迷。None of this had even a hope of any practical application in my life. But ten years later, when we were designing the first
27、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 cop
28、ied 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
29、was in college. But it was very, very clear looking backwards ten years later.这些对于我的生活毫无任何实际的用途，我也从没指望有过。可是十年之后，当我正在设计第一台Macintosh（麦金塔,苹果电脑的一个品种）电脑的时候，它们开始起作用了。我们将它们带进了麦金塔，那是第一台拥有漂亮字体的电脑。如果我没有在学校旁听过那门课程，Mac将不会有多样化的字体和适当的文字间隔，而自从Windows系统开始抄袭Mac的系统后，好像没有任何个人电脑没有用它了。如果我没有退学，我就不可能旁听书法课，这样也许个人电脑就没有现在这样精
30、致的字体了。当然，并不是说当我在大学的时候我有前瞻意识，但是十年后再回想，却是十分清楚的。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, destiny, life, karma, whatever. Because believi
31、ng the dots will connect down the road will give you the confidence to follow your heart even when it will lead you after a well-worn path and now will make all the difference. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life. 你没法预知你人生的点点滴滴之间会有你没法预知你人生的点点滴滴之间会有你没法预知
32、你人生的点点滴滴之间会有你没法预知你人生的点点滴滴之间会有怎样的关系；你只能在事后把它们串接起来。怎样的关系；你只能在事后把它们串接起来。怎样的关系；你只能在事后把它们串接起来。怎样的关系；你只能在事后把它们串接起来。因此，你必须相信，这些人生的片段会在你因此，你必须相信，这些人生的片段会在你因此，你必须相信，这些人生的片段会在你因此，你必须相信，这些人生的片段会在你的未来产生联系。你必须相信点什么的未来产生联系。你必须相信点什么的未来产生联系。你必须相信点什么的未来产生联系。你必须相信点什么你你你你的勇气、命运、生活、因缘，什么都可以。的勇气、命运、生活、因缘，什么都可以。的勇气、命运、生活

Woz and I started Apple in my par
34、ents 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 fi
35、red 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
36、 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.我很幸运，在人生早期就找到了喜爱的东西。20岁时我和Woz在我爸妈的车库里建立了苹果公司。我们很努力地工作，10年之后苹果电脑由最初车库中的两个人变成一家有4000多员工、价值20亿美元的公司。那个时候我们最棒的产品Macintosh刚刚推出一年，而我刚刚30岁。然后我就被解雇了。随着苹果公司的发展壮大，我们请了一个
37、在我看来非常有才能的人来和我一起管理公司。第一年一切都非常顺利。但是后来我们对于未来的看法出现了分歧，最终我们之间起了争论。争执发生之后，我们的董事会站在了他那一边。于是，30岁时我被炒掉了。一直以来都是我成年生活核心的东西，忽然不复存在了。那感觉相当可怕。I really didnt 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
38、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 b
39、it. I had been rejected, but I was still in love. And so I decided to start over.有几个月的时间，我完全不知道该干什么。我感到自己辜负了前辈企业家的期望就像接力棒交到我的手里，而我却丢掉了。我遇见了DavidPackard和BobNoyce并试着为自己没有振作起来而道歉。我成了一名众所周知的失败者。我甚至想过离开硅谷。然而有一种东西慢慢照亮了我：我仍然热爱着我做过的事情。苹果的风云变幻并没有让它有些许改变。我被逐出门，但是我始终心存热爱。我决定重头再来!I didnt see it then, but it tur
40、ned 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.我当时并没有意识到，实际上被苹果解雇是当时发
41、生在我身上的最好的事了。事业成功所伴随的那种沉重不见了，取而代之的是重回起跑线的那种新手的轻盈。对于一切我都不再确信无疑。我获得了解放，进而开始了我一生中最富有创造力的时期。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
42、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 Apples current renaissance. And Laurene and I have a wonderful family together.在那五
43、年中，我创立了一个名为在那五年中，我创立了一个名为NeXTNeXT的公司，然后又建立了的公司，然后又建立了PixarPixar公司，同公司，同时与一位迷人的女士共堕爱河，她后来成为了我的太太。时与一位迷人的女士共堕爱河，她后来成为了我的太太。PixarPixar创作出了世界上创作出了世界上第一部电脑动画电影第一部电脑动画电影ToyToy StoryStory“玩具总动员玩具总动员”。而现在它已经是世界。而现在它已经是世界上最成功的动画工作室。再后来，经过一次戏剧性的收购，苹果公司买下了上最成功的动画工作室。再后来，经过一次戏剧性的收购，苹果公司买下了NeXTNeXT，我重返苹果。我们在，我重返
44、苹果。我们在NeXTNeXT开发的技术现在成为苹果复兴事业的核心，开发的技术现在成为苹果复兴事业的核心，LaureneLaurene跟我也组建了一个美好的家庭。跟我也组建了一个美好的家庭。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 life hits you in the head with a brick. Dont los

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 believ
46、e is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you havent found it yet, keep looking. 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 unti

49、死亡的。我第三个故事是关于死亡的。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 wer
50、e 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.我17岁那年读到过一句话，大意是这样：“假如你把每一天都当成你在人世的最后一天来过，总有一天你会发现自己是对的。”这话给我留下了印象。自那时起，33年来的每个早晨，我都对着镜子自问：“假如果今天是我这辈子最后的一天，我还会做我今天要做的这些事吗？”
51、每当连续很多天答案都是“不会”的时候，我就知道有什么东西需要改变了。Remembering that Ill be dead soon is the most important tool Ive 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
52、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.记住自己将不久于人世，这是我在作出人生重大选择时的一个最重要的参考工具。因为几乎所有的一切一切外界对你的期待、一切荣耀、所有对窘境和
53、失败的恐惧它们在面对死亡的时候都黯然失色，剩下的只有真正重要的东西。在我看来，设想自己将死去是帮助你避开“我可能会失去xxx”思维陷阱的最佳方法。此时你已经赤条条一无所有，又何不随心而动？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 didnt even know what a pancreas was. The doctors told me this was almost ce
54、rtainly 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 to tell your kids everything you thought youd have the next 10 years
55、 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.大约一年前，我被查出患有癌症。早上7点半，我做了一次扫描，结果很清楚地显示出我的胰腺里有一个肿瘤。当时我连胰腺是什么都不知道。大夫们告诉我，差不多可以肯定这是一种无法治愈的癌，我估计还能再活三到六个月。我的医生建议我回家去，把事情都做个了结。这是医生的行话，这
56、意味这试着在几月内告诉你的孩子你将在十年后告诉他们的事情；意味着确认对家人将这件事情守口如瓶，并显得尽量的自然；意味着对这个世界说再见。I lived with that diagnosis all day. Laterthat evening I had a biopsy, where theystuck an endoscope down my throat,throughmystomachandintomyintestines,putaneedleintomypancreasandgotafewcellsfromthetumor.Iwassedated,butmywife,whowast
57、here,toldmethatwhentheyviewedthecellsundera microscope the doctors started cryingbecause it turned out to be a very rareformofpancreaticcancerthatiscurablewith surgery. I had the surgery and Imfinenow.一整天我的脑子里只有这个判决。当晚，我做了一次组织切片检查，他们将内窥镜伸到我的咽喉，穿过我的胃直到我的肠道，把一根针伸到我的胰腺里，从瘤子上取出一些细胞。我被打了镇定，但是我的妻子，她也在场，她告
58、诉我他们在显微镜下看到我的细胞后，医生喜极而泣，因为医生们发现这是一种非常罕见的、通过手术可以治愈的胰腺癌。后来我做了手术，现在已经痊愈了。迄今为止，这是我距离死亡最近的一次，希望这也是未来几十年里我离死亡最近的一次。经过这一次，我可以告诉你们一些关于死亡更加明智的观点：没有人想死。即使那些向往天堂的人也不愿意为了上天堂而去死。没有人想要死。但死亡是我们共同的终点，是生命最好的创造。它是生命的代谢催化剂，去除老朽，迎接新鲜。现在新鲜的是你们，但是用不了太久，某天你们会发现自己已经渐渐变得老朽，将被取代。抱歉说得这么夸张，但这是真理。ThiswastheclosestIvebeentofacin
