Steve Jobs对2005年斯坦福大学毕业生演讲英文版1、有关创造力 　　Creativity is just connecting things. When you ask creative people how they did something, they feel a little guilty because they didnt really do it, they just saw something. It seemed obvious to them after a while. 　　“创造力就是找到事物之间的联系。当你询问有创意的人他们是如何做事时，他们觉得有点内疚，因为他们并没有真的这么做，他们只是看到了其中一些关系。这种感觉在他们过后看来会很明显。” 　　2、有关死亡 　　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，每个人终将会死去，这是我认为能够避免个人患得患失的最好方式，你已经赤裸裸地面对死亡，那就没有什么理由不去追随自己的心。” 　　3、关于卓越 　　Be a yardstick of quality. Some people arent used to an environment where excellence is expected. 　　“要做一个质量标杆，有些人还不习惯面对一个卓越的环境。” 　　4、关于未来 　　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. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life. 　　“你无法在展望未来时串联点滴，你只能在回顾过去时将其升华。所以你要相信，这些点滴片段会在未来以某种方式串联起来。你要相信某种东西——直觉也好，命运也好，生命也好，或者因缘甚至是其他一切。这种方法从来没有让我失望，在我的生活中，这种意念造就了我的与众不同。” 　　5、关于坚持 　　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 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 until you find it. Dont settle. 　　“你的工作将占据你生活中的很大一部分，能够让你真正满意的唯一方法就是做你相信是伟大的工作，而唯一伟大的工作就是爱你所做的事。如果你还没有找到它，那么继续找，不要停。用心去找，你会知道何时能够找到它。如同任何伟大的关系一样，它只会在时间的证明之下越来越好，所以继续找，不要停，直到你找到它。” 　　6、关于追求 　　Being the richest man in the cemetery doesnt matter to me … Going to bed at night saying weve done something wonderful… thats what matters to
