乔布斯在斯坦福大学毕业典礼的演讲：Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish.

　　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 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 returned 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.

　　我当时没有看出来，但事实证实，我被苹果开掉是我这一生所经历过的最棒的事情。成功的沉重被凤凰涅槃的轻巧所代替，每件事情都不再那么确定，我以自由之躯进入了我整个生命当中最有创意的时期。

　　在接下来的5 年里，我开创了一家叫做NeXT 的公司，接着是一家名叫Pixar 的公司，并且结识了后来成为我妻子的曼妙少女。Pixar 制作了世界上第一部全电脑动画片子《玩具总动员》，现在这家公司是世界上最成功的动画制作公司之一。(掌声)后来经历一系列的事件，苹果买下了NeXT ，于是我又回到了苹果，我们在NeXT研发出的技术成为推动苹果中兴的核心动力。我和劳伦斯也拥有了美满的家庭。

　　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.

　　我非常肯定，假如没有被苹果炒掉，这一切都不可能在我身上发生。

　　糊口有时候就像一块板砖拍向你的脑袋，但不要丧失决心信念。热爱我所从事的工作，是一直支持我不断前进的惟一理由。你得找出你的最爱，对工作如斯，对爱人亦是如斯。工作将占据你生命中相称大的一部门，从事你以为具有不凡意义的工作，方能给你带来真正的知足感。而从事一份伟大工作的惟一方法，就是去热爱这份工作。假如你到现在还没有找到这样一份工作，那么就继承找。不要安于现状，当万事了于心的时候，你就会知道何时能找到。犹如任何伟大的浪漫关系一样，伟大的工作只会在岁月的酝酿中越陈越香。所以，在你终有所获之前，不要停下你寻觅的脚步。不要停下。

　　My third story is about death.

　　第三个故事 关于死亡

　　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.

　　在17岁的时候，我读过一句格言，似乎是：“假如你把每一天都当成你生命里的最后一天，你将在某一天发现原来一切皆在把握之中。” (笑声)这句话从我读到之日起，就对我产生了深远的影响。在过去的33年里，我天天早晨都对着镜子问自己：“假如今天是我生命中的末日，我还愿意做我今天本来应该做的事情吗?”当一连好多天谜底都否定的时候，我就知道做出改变的时候到了。

　　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.

　　提醒自己行将入土是我在面对人生中的重大抉择时，最为重要的工具。

　　由于所有的事情——外界的期望、所有的尊荣、对尴尬和失败的惧怕——在面临死亡的时候，都将烟消云散，只留下真正重要的东西。在我所知道的各种方法中，提醒自己即将死去是避免掉入畏惧失去这个陷阱的最好办法。人赤条条地来，赤条条地走，没有理由不服从你内心的呼叫。

　　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 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 so that it will be as easy as possible for your family. It means to say your goodbyes.
