苹果公司Pixar动画工作室CEO Steve Jobs2005年6月12号斯坦福学毕业典礼面演讲稿
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 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
天荣幸起参加毕业典礼斯坦福学世界学没学中毕业说实话天许生命中离学毕业天天想讲述生活中三事什事情三事已
The first story is about connecting the dots
第事关生命中点点滴滴串连起
I dropped out of Reed College after the first 6 months but then stayed around as a dropin for another 18 months or so before I really quit So why did I drop out
Reed学读六月退学十八月真正作出退学决定前常学校什退学呢?
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 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
事出生时候讲起亲生母亲年轻没结婚学毕业生决定收养 十分想学毕业生收养出生时候已做切准备工作律师妻子收养没料出生律师夫妇突然决定想女孩生养父母(亲生父母观察名单)突然半夜接电话现心生出男婴想?回答道然亲生母亲发现养母没学父亲甚没读高中拒绝签收养合月父母答应定学时候意
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 workingclass parents' savings were being spent on my college tuition After six months I couldn't see the value in it I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life and no idea how college was going to 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 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 didn't interest me and begin dropping in on the ones that looked interesting
十七岁年真学愚蠢选择斯坦福学样贵学校 父母处蓝领阶层积蓄花学费面六月 已中价值知道想生命中做什知道学帮助找样答案里花光父母辈子积蓄决定退学觉正确决定否认时确实非常害怕 现回头确生中棒决定做出退学决定刻 终必读令提起丝毫兴趣课程然修起点意思课程
It wasn't all romantic I didn't 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 into by following my curiosity and intuition turned out to be priceless later on Let me give you one example
罗曼蒂克失宿舍朋友房间板面睡觉捡5美分乐瓶子仅仅填饱肚子 星期天晚需走七英里路程穿城市Hare Krishna
寺庙(注:位纽约Brooklyn城)吃饭星期唯顿点饭喜欢样着直觉奇心走 遇东西证明价宝举例子吧:
Reed 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 didn't have to take the normal classes I decided to take a calligraphy class to 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 can't capture and I found it fascinating
