乔布斯斯坦福演讲：活出你自己 　　2005年6月12日，在美国斯坦福大学毕业典礼上，苹果公司CEO史蒂夫?乔布斯（Steve Jobs）发表了精彩演讲。已被确诊身患癌症的乔布斯对在场学子讲述了自己经历的三个故事，与学子们分享自己的创业心得，并以此激励年轻一代勇敢、积极、快乐地面对人生。这三次体验不仅在斯坦福大学的毕业生、也在硅谷乃至其他地方的技术同行中引起了巨大反响。尤其The Whole Earth Catalog提到的话，作为杂志，这是一种精神，一种气质。乔布斯对操场上挤的满满的毕业生、校友和家长们说：“你的时间有限，所以最好别把它浪费在模仿别人这种事上。” －－同样地，如果还在学校的话，似乎不应该去模仿退学的牛人们。乔布斯朴实而真诚的演讲不但赢得了全场数次热烈鼓掌和尖叫，也成为近年美国毕业典礼演讲中最具影响力的一篇。时至今日，这一演讲仍然对广大学子和创业者产生着深远影响。以下为乔布斯在斯坦福大学毕业典礼上的演讲全文： Youve got to find what you love, Jobs says Jobs说，你必须要找到你所爱的东西。 This is the text of the Commencement address by Steve Jobs, CEO of Apple Computer and of Pixar Animation Studios, delivered on June 12, 2005. 这是苹果公司和Pixar动画工作室的CEO Steve Jobs于2005年6月12号在斯坦福大学的毕业典礼上面的演讲稿。 Thank you.I am honored to be with you today at your commencement from one of the finest universities in the world.

Just three stories. 我今天很荣幸能和你们一起参加毕业典礼，斯坦福大学是世界上最好的大学之一。我从来没有从大学中毕业。说实话,今天也许是在我的生命中离大学毕业最近的一天了。今天我想向你们讲述我生活中的三个故事。不是什么大不了的事情,只是三个故事而已。 The first story is about connecting the dots. 第一个故事是关于如何把生命中的点点滴滴串连起来。 I dropped out of Reed College after the first 6 months, but then stayed around as a drop-in for another 18 months or so before I really quit. So why did I drop out? 我在Reed大学读了六个月之后就退学了,但是在十八个月以后——我真正的作出退学决定之前,我还经常去学校。我为什么要退学呢？ It started before I was born. My biological 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 the 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 f
