乔布斯在斯坦福大学毕业典礼的演讲：StayHungry.StayFoolish. 　　　乔布斯在斯坦福大学毕业典礼的演讲：Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish.　　This is the text of the Commencement address by Steve Jobs， CEO of Apple Computer and of Pixar Animation Studios， delivered on June 12， XX.　　I am honored to be with you today at your commencement from one of the finest universities in the world. I never graduated from college. Truth be told， I never graduated from college. This is the closest I‘ve ever gotten to a college graduation. Today I want to tell you three stories from my life. That’s it. No big deal. Just three stories.　　斯坦福是世界上最好的大学之一，今天能参加各位的毕业仪式，我备感荣幸。我从来没有从大学毕业，说句实话，此时算是我离大学毕业最近的一刻。(笑声)今天，我想告诉你们我生命中的三个故事，并非什么了不得的大事件，只是三个小故事而已。　　The first story is about connecting the dots.　　　第一个故事　关于串起生命中的点点滴滴　　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 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 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.　　故事要从我出生之前开始说起。我的生母是一名年青的未婚妈妈，当时她仍是一所大学的在读研究生，于是决定把我送给其他人收养。她坚持我应该被一对念过大学的夫妇收养，所以在我出生的时候，她已经为我被一个律师和他的太太收养做好了所有的预备。但在最后一刻，这对夫妇改了主意，决定收养一个女孩。候选名单上的另外一对夫妇，也就是我的养父母，在一
