Sorry to be so dramatic, but it is quite true.是我 和死神离得最近的一次，我希望也是今后几十年里最近的一次。有了这次经历之后，现在 我可以更加实在地和你们谈论死亡，而不是纯粹纸上谈兵，那就是 ：谁都 不愿意死。就是那些想进天 堂的人也不愿意死后再进。然而，死亡是我们共同的 归宿，没人能摆脱。我们注定会死，因为死亡很可能是生命最好的一项发明。它推进生命的变迁，旧的不去，新的不来。现在，你们就是新的，

16. 但在不久的将来，你们也会逐渐成为旧的，也会被淘汰。对不起，话说得太过分了，不过这是千 真万确的。 Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice.

27. years roll on. So keep looking until you find it. Don't settle.我确信，如果不是被苹果公司解雇，这一切决不可能发生。这是一剂苦药，可我认 为苦药利于病。有时生活会当头给你一棒，但不要灰心。我坚信让我一往无前的唯 一力量就是我热爱我所做的一切。所以，一定得知道自己喜欢什么，选择爱人时如此， 选择工作时同样如此。工作将是生活中的一大部分，让自己真正满意的唯一办法，是做自己认为是有意义的工作；做有意义的工作的唯一办法，是热爱自己的工作。你们 如果还没有发现自己喜欢什么，那就不断地去寻找，不要急于做出决定。就像一切要 凭著感觉去做的
28. 公司未来的看法产生分歧，董事会站在了他的一边。于是，在我三十岁的时候，我出局了，很公开地出局了。我整个成年生活的焦点没了，这很要命。一开始的几个月我真的不知道该干什么。我觉得我让公司的前一代创建者们失望了，我把传给我的权杖给弄丢了。我与戴维德帕珂德和鲍勃诺埃斯见面，试图为这彻头彻尾的失败道歉。我败得如此之惨以至于我想要逃离硅谷。但有个东西在慢慢地叫醒我：我还爱着我从事的行业。这次失败一点儿都没有改变这一点。我被逐了，但我仍爱着我的事业。我决定重新开始。 I diddntt seee iit tthenn, bbut it turrnedd ouut tthatt geettiing firre

So why did I drop out?第一个故事讲的是点与点之间的关系。我在里德大学 (Reed College只读了六个 月就退学了，此后便在学校里旁听，又过了大约一年半，我彻底离开。那么，我为什么退 学呢？It started before I
33. dows just copied the Mac, its likely that no personal computer would have them.

Having lived through it, I can now say this to you with a bit more certainty than when death was a useful but purely intellectual concept: No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don't want to die
35. 候读读到过一一句话“如果你你把每一一天都当当作最后后一天过过，有一一天你会会发现你你是正确确的”。这句句话给我我留下了了深刻的的印象。从从那以后后，过去去的333年，每每天早上上我都会会对着镜镜子问自自己：“如果今今天是我我的最后后一天，我我会不会会做我想想做的事事情呢？”如果连连着一段段时间，答答案都是是否定的的的话，我我就知道道我需要要改变一一些东西西了。提提醒自己己就要死死了是我我遇见的的最大的的帮助，帮帮我作了了生命中中的大决决定。因因为几乎乎任何事事所有有的荣耀耀、骄傲傲、对难难堪和失失败的恐恐惧在死亡亡面前都都会消隐隐，留下下真正重重要的东东西。提提醒自己己就要死死亡是我我知道的的

But it was very, very clear looking backwards ten years later.当时我并不指望书法在以后的生活中能有什么实用价值。但是，十年之后，我们 在设计第一台Macintosh计算机时，它一下子浮现在我眼前。于是，我们把这些东西 全都设计进了计算机中。这是第一台有这么漂亮的文字版式的计算机。要不是我当 初在大学里偶然选了这么一门课,Macintosh计算机绝不会有那么多种印刷字体或问 距安排合理的字号。要不是Windows照搬了 Macintosh,个人电脑可能不会有这些 字体和字号。要
