乔布斯演讲观后感 乔布斯经典演讲感悟
苹果教父————史蒂夫·乔布斯，这个改变世界的天才，这个身上充满了传奇故事的天才，于20xx年10月5日安详地离开了这个世界。虽然他的离去对这个世界来说可能是一个无法弥补的遗憾，但是这丝毫没有影响他生前为这个世界所创造的一切价值，而他在斯坦福大学所作的演讲正是他对自己传奇般的人生所进行的总结，这一著名演讲让我们深深地被他的精神魅力所吸引，所感染。
之前对于乔布斯的认识，仅仅是停留在感性认识的层面上，通过阅读他在斯坦福大学所做的演讲，我对他才有了一个比较深入的了解。在阅读的过程中，让我联想到自己在即将毕业的这一个学期里整个状态和心理变化过程，让我有了很多的感悟，让我对人生有了不一样的认识。
乔布斯讲了三个故事，这三个故事每一个都是很值得去慢慢体味的。他的第一个故事是：关于如何把生命中的点点滴滴串连起来。发生在乔布斯身上的一切巧合，其实不是巧合，而是生命中的点滴串连出来的结果。这个故事让我最近一直在烦恼的问题迎刃而解。由于在大学期间兼修了一门会计双专业，很多人都说我这样很有优势，至少还多了一个选择，但是我内心真实的声音告诉我：我并不想从事会计方面工作，人力资源管理方面的工作才是我真正想要的。我把我的想法告诉了父母，父母并不支持我，他们说我白白糟蹋了这四年所学的会计知识。父母的反对，让我觉得很困扰，甚至有时连我自己都怀疑自己这样做是对父母的不负责，更是对自己的`不负责。不过乔布斯的第一个故事告诉我，生命中的点点滴滴早晚会被串连在一起的，虽然在前进的过程中我还不能预知过往的一切将给我未来的生活带来什么，但是未来的某一天当我再回头看看之前走过的路时，就会发现当时的一切对于那个时候的我来说有着多么重要的意义。所以，我不再让这个烦恼反复地纠缠自己了，我要坚持我想要的，但是我不放弃过往所赋予我的一切，会计学赋予我对数字的敏感性或许能让我以更快的速度去适应和完成人力资源绩效与薪酬两个板块的工作，并成为这两大板块的专业人士。至于会计学还能给我未来的生活带来的其他影响，现在还不得而知，但乔布斯富有戏剧性的人生故事告诉我们人生是由许多不同时期的片断拼凑而成的。
乔布斯的第二个故事是：关于爱和损失的。这是让我深有感触的一个故事，在没有阅读乔布斯的这篇演讲之前，我的情绪一直处在一个比较低迷的状态，焦虑的情绪包裹着我，这可能就是所谓的就业前的综合症吧。在校期间，各方面表现都还不错，让我一直都有种优越感，开学前期对于找工作我还自信满满，满以为找到一家比较好的公司并不困难，但是后来事实的结果表明要进一家知名企业并没有想象中那么顺利。这样结果给我带来了强烈的心理落差，我一直认为那些好的工作岗位应该属于我的，优越感、自信心一下子被打击得所剩无几。与乔布斯在面对被自己亲手创立的苹果公司炒鱿鱼时的豁达胸怀相比，我在深感惭愧的同时也豁然开朗了。乔布斯即使失去自己一直拥有的东西，甚至是被视为全部支柱的东西，都能保持如此淡定和坦然的态度，而我竟然纠结于一些本就不属于我的东西。我明白了那些东西只有自己努力争取才能得到，即使没有争取到也无怨无悔了，至少我尽力了，我相信这个争取的过程会使我成长，在未来的某一天我会感激上天赋予我这么美妙的一段经历。坚持自己所热爱的事业，不要轻易放弃，即使这个过程很艰难，也要正确看待这个过程中的得与失，因为它们只是暂时的，不必为一时的失意而深陷泥潭无法自拔。
乔布斯的第三个故事是：关于死亡的。“记住你即将死去”，看到这句话不禁会让我思考，如果今天是我生命中的最后一天，我最想做什么？我发现我想做的事情好多，而且是很重要的事情。我还没跟爸妈说声我爱他们，我还没跟最好的朋友通宵达旦的聊天，我还没跟很多人说对不起，我还没从事过我一直向往的工作……原来自己还有这么多事情没做，亏欠自己的亲朋好友这么多事情，甚至都不能给自己一个交代。当乔布斯在死亡边缘徘徊的时候，或许对他来说他的人生应该没有什么大的遗憾了，但是他还是觉得时间可能不够，因为他要把未来十年对小孩说的话在几个月里面说完，要把所有的事情搞定，让家人过的轻松。对于这样一个历尽人间沧桑的人物是如此，更何况我这样一个涉世不深的大学生呢？
生命的奇迹把乔布斯从死亡的边缘拉了回来，让他得以重生，在这个过程中所有的事情，包括荣誉、骄傲、难堪、对失败的恐惧，对他来说已经不重要了，在死亡面前这些都不算什么了。乔布斯让我清醒地看到，还有什么比死亡更可怕的吗？答案是没有。放下所有的心里负担，才能更好地朝着既定的目标前进。
乔布斯最后说的那句：“Stay Hungry，Stay Foolish”，提醒我要坚持学习、不断学习，才能加快达到我最想要到的地方的速度，才能做好我最想做的事。我想学习对于任何人的意义都是重大的，我会继续坚持我一直以来勤勉好学的学习态度，终身学习。
乔布斯的精彩演讲，让我明白：我该趁着年轻，拿出所有的勇气，把所有的包袱和负担放下，本来就一无所有，已经失无所失了，还害怕失去什么。学着不断去尝试、去冒险，坚持学习和自己的人生目标，把该完成的、最想做的做到最好，不要给自己的人生留下任何的遗憾。

突然之间，心血来潮，想要看一些关于乔布斯的视频，因本人对一些电子产品并不是特别喜欢，所以对乔布斯他的萍果公司里的各种各样电子产品并不是超级喜欢，反而是他在大学毕业典礼的演讲视频中说到他生命中的3个故事，深深的感动了我，使我想到很多。第一个故事：关于生命中的点点滴滴发生的事情;第二个故事：关于爱和失去;第三个故事：关于死亡。
从这些故事中，让我们可以看到乔布斯其实是一个非常善于思考和非常感性的一个人，他可以从自己身边发生的点点滴滴联想到很多很多，并且从中了解到自己内心想要的是什么，为自己立下能达到的目标，然后朝着这个目标努力前进，直到成功。很喜欢他说的一句话：我们要活出自己、追求自己真正想要的、做最真实和美好的自己!
乔布斯在结尾点题，以“好学若饥，谦卑若愚”作为主题对观众建议，他充分揭示了他成功的秘密：无论是作为一位成功的企业领导者，还是作为一位沟通大师，做你钟爱的事情，将挫折视为机会，永葆一腔热情，不断追求卓越。保持信心、相信你自己的能力和你过去的人生经历，让我们的生命追随内心的召唤和指示。
求知若饥，虚心若愚。最后把这句话留给大家，我觉得他是用心良苦。现在就是个学习的时代，不学习是赶不上时代的浪潮，不论做什么工作都要不断学习，现在的年轻人不学习真的会被饿死。虚心若愚还不知道是什么意思，没有什么体会，可能就是让我们做事谦虚、虚心点。最后感谢伟大的乔布斯，他是改变了世界。自己又将改变些什么呢？

Thank you. Apple's grown like a weed, and as you know, we've always been in Cupertino. Started in an office par, eventually, got the buildings, we are in now the corner of the ends of those buildings hold maybe 2600 or 2800 people. But we've got almost 12,000 people in the area. So we're renting buildings - not very good buildings, either at an ever-greater radius from our campus and we're putting people in those. It is clear that we need to build new campus, so we just add space. That doesn't mean we don't need the one we got, we do need it, but we need another one to augment it. So we've got a plan that let's us stay in Cupertino. And we went out and we bought some land and this land is kind of special, to me. When I was 13, I think, I called up... Hewlett and Packard were my idols. And I called up Bill Hewlett, cause he lived in Palo Alto, and there were no unlisted numbers in the phone book, which gives you a clue to my age. And he picked up the phone and I talked to him and I asked him if he'd give me some spare parts for something I was building called a frequency counter. And he did, but in addition to that he gave me something way more important. He gave a job that summer. A summer job at Hewlett-Packard, right here (on) in Santa Clara, off 280, the division that built frequency counters. And I was in heaven. Well, right around that exact moment in time, Hewlett and Packard themselves were walking on some property over here in Cupertino, in Pruneridge, and they ended up buying it. And they built their computer systems division there. And as Hewlett - Packard has been shrinking lately, they decided to sell that property and we bought it. We bought that and we bought some adjacent property that all used to be apricot trees, apricot orchards and we've got about 150 acres. And we should like to put a new campus on that so that we can stay in Cupertino. And we've come up - we've hired some great architects to work with, some of the best in the world, I think. And we've come up with a design that puts 12,000 people in one building. Think about that, that''s rather odd 12,000 people in a building, in one building. But, we've seen these office parks with lots of building and they get pretty boring pretty fast. So we'd like to do something better than that. And I'd like to take you through what we like to do. So this is supposed to work here. Here we go. Can you see this? So here is we are today, which is on Infinite Loop drive, against the intersection of D' Anza and the 280.
谢谢大家。苹果如雨后春笋般快速发展着，而Cupertino一直是我们钟爱的土壤。从开始的工业园到现在的办公大楼280号公路尽头的拐弯处，这几栋楼能容纳2600到2800名员工。可实际上我们的员工数量超过了1。不得已只能用租些差劲的写字楼给员工办公。所以我想把大家转移到离现有园区不远的一片区域。我们将用新的园区来扩充办公面积。现有园区也会继续保留，新园区还在Cupertino，因为这里对我巨有意义。大小我就是惠普创始人Hewlett和Packard的粉丝。Hewlett住在Palo Alto，13岁那年我给他打了个电话，年头所有的电话号码都印在大部头里，不好意思，暴露了我的年龄。我问他是否能送我些零件做频率计数器。他不仅答应了，还给了我一份工作。惠普的暑期实习，就在Snata Clara 280号公路旁边，我被分在计频器部门，简直像去了天堂。就在这个时候，惠普在Pruneridge买了块地，并在那里设立了计算机系统部。最近惠普并不景气，有意出售这块不动产，我们就买了下来。顺带还买下来原来的一片杏园，总面积有150英亩了。我想在哪儿建个新园区，继续留在Cupertino。我们请来最优秀的设计师，希望设计一栋能容纳12000人的大楼。一栋楼装12000人，是不是跟中国的学生宿舍一样不可思议？你们看过一些工业园区空间拥挤、设计单调，我们希望改变这一切。给大家看看园区蓝图，看得见么？苹果总部就在这里280号公路和D' Anza十字路口的交汇处。
Mr Jobs, yeah, you drawn as print, that's high-tech we've. Use your finger. Just point in the air...
乔总，你可以用演示器，我们这儿也是有高科技的。
What we've done is we bought this land right here. We try to buy the apartments at the corner but they are not for sale, so we couldn't buy those. And we bought everything else. And the campus we like to build there is one building holds 12,000 people. And it is pretty amazing building. Let me show it to you. It's a little like a spaceship landed, there it is, and it's got this gorgeous courtyard in the middle, but a lot more. So let's take a close look at it. It's a circle. It's curved all the way around. If you build things, this is not the cheapest way to build something. There is not a straight piece of glass in this building. It's all curved. We've used our experience making retail buildings all over the world now, and we know how to make the biggest pieces of glass in the world for architectural use. We can make it curve all the way around the building. And you can see what it look like. It is pretty cool. Again, today, about 20% of the space is landscaping, several big asphalt parking lots. So 20% of this is landscape, we want to completely change this. And we want to make 80% of landscape, and the way we're gonna do this is we're gonna put most of the parking underground. So we can have 80% of landscape, and you can see what we've in mind. I mean there is nothing like this in the property now. It's pretty bad. Today there are 3700 trees on the property we'd like to just almost double that. We've hired one of the senior arborists from Stanford actually who is very good with indigenous trees around this area. So we'd like to plant a lot of trees including some apricot orchards. Again you can see what it might be like. This is some of the infrastructure. The main building, we have parking underneath the main building. That's not enough unfortunately. We have a parking structure here as well. The building's four stories high as is the parking structure. There's nothing high here at all. We want the whole place human scale. It's actually about the same as we have in Cupertino right now.. An energy center. We deal with - people using, sitting at computers all day writing software. And if the power goes out on the grid we get to send everybody home. So we have to have backup power to power the place in the event brownouts and stuff. And I think what we're gonna end up doing is making the energy center our primary source of power. Because we can generate power with Natural Gas and other ways that can be cleaner and cheaper and use the grid as our backup. We've got an auditorium because we put on presentations. Much like we did yesterday but we have to go to San Francisco to do them. Fitness center and some R&D facilities, these are just things that where we do testing and we need some buildings to test in and there's hardly any people in them. So this is roughly the kind of thing we're thinking about. We think about 12,000 people, I put 13,000 on the slides, just because we may make a little luckier than 12,000. We're up roughly 40% in people . What the site has been used for already and we're increasing space to million square feet. So 20% increase in space. The landscaping though increases by 350%, which is nice, trees by 60%. The surface parking goes down by 90%. And so I think the overall feeling of the place is gonna be zillion times better than it is now with all the asphalt. And the building footprint actually goes down by 30%. So, we wanna take the space and in many cases making it smaller. We're putting more of desirable things on the space and that's what we like to do. So just wanna give you a look at it. This is a cafe. We have cafe as our facilities. And this cafe will, you know, feed the better part of the 3,000 people sitting. That's what you need when you 12,000 people in the campus. So that's what we're looking at. I'd love to answer your questions if you have any.
我们买下这块地，本来还想买这初拐角，可对方不卖，我们又不能强拆，所以只得放弃。我们打算在园区里建一栋楼，容纳12000人。听起来很炫，看起来更炫。华丽吧！像不像太空飞船？中间还有个大院子，还不止呢。让我们凑近了看，办公室的外观是个圆环。体形优美，造价不菲，所有的玻璃都是弧形的线条。我们建造苹果零售店的经验派上用场了。硕大的弧形玻璃难不倒我们。让玻璃墙绕场一周。是不是很酷。目前整个园区只有20%的绿化，浪费了不少地方。我们向来一次乾坤大挪移。把停车场统统发配到地下，让绿化面积从20%暴增到80%。目的不言而喻，我们课不想像别的园区那样被人诟病。目前园区里有3800棵树，未来会翻一倍。我们聘请斯坦福的园林设计师来设计园区。除了杏树，还会种其他植物。这是建成后的样子。这是我们的主楼，设有地下停车场。可惜地下停车场不够用，所以我们另设了一处停车点。新办公楼是一座四层圆形建筑，中间有一个大庭院。摩天大厦我不感冒，我喜欢矮建筑。保持和Cupertino现有建筑的高度一致。我们的工作要对着电脑一刻不停的写程序，所以正常的工作离不开能源中心。要是没电，大家只能回家洗了睡。所以需要后备电源，能源中心将用天然气或其他绿色能源发电。我们希望将其作为主要的电力来源，把国家电网用作后备电源。这里将修建一个大礼堂，我们就不用像昨天那样跑到旧金山去开会了。这里是健身中心和研发大楼，这个地方专门用来做测试，里面木有员工。这就是我们的设想。苹果现有12000员工，但可能增加到13000人。将来这里可以多容纳40%的员工，增加20%的使用面积，这样总面积大道了310万平方英尺。绿化面积增长350%，这个就厉害啦，植树量增长60%，地上停车面积减少90%。你会自上这片土地的，这比一滴沥青给力多了。建筑占地面积将减少30%。减少建筑面积。这样有更多的空间留给想象力去发挥。这里是间咖啡厅，这个可以有，你懂的。它能容纳3000人同时就餐。足足有12000名员工在此贡献智慧，所以我们需要那么大的容量。我的介绍到此为止，有什么问题吗？
Thank you, Mr jobs. And we're really excited that you call Apple our home. If you go to your shop at anything they have a T-shirt that says the mother ship has landed, and if you look at this picture, definitely the mother ship has landed here in Cupertino. Is there any questions or comments from council colleagues, council member Wang?
谢谢你的演讲，很高兴苹果能在Cupertino安家。现在都有印有“苹果飞船”的T恤卖了。看看印花，亮点是这飞船的登陆地就在Cupertino。各位参议员同僚有什么要问的吗？王议员？
Hi, Steve.
乔总，您好
Hi.
Quick question, I think people are curious to know what the city residence can benefit from this new campus.
貌似大家都比较关心民众能从新园区中受益吗？
Well, as you know, we're the largest tax payer in Cupertino, so we'd like to continue to stay here and pay taxes. That's number one. Because if we can't, then we go have to somewhere like Mountain View. And we take up people with us, we give up and over years sell the land here, and the largest tax base would go away. That wouldn't be good for Cupertino.
我们是Cupertino的纳税大户，你懂得，我们很高兴能留下来继续缴税，这点最重要。如果新园区项目流产，我们不得不另栖他处，比如Mountain View.。我们只有带着员工离开，把地卖掉。我想Cupertino不会希望缴税大户离开。
No of course not.
当然不想了。
And wouldn't be good for us either, so that's number one. And number two, we employ some really talented great people and across the whole age spectrum. A lot of people right out of collage, hire a lot of Stanford grads, etc, and you know people in their 50s and even 60s, like me I'm in my 50s. So I think there's a lot of them wanna live around where they work. We have a lot of people riding bikes to work now. We also run a bus service. We got 20 buses that run on bio-diesel fuel. They are the cleanest bus that you can buy. We've got 20 of them doing routes all the way from San Francisco to Santa Cruz bringing people in. So, those are the kinds of things could benefit Cupertino. And influx of tax base, and influx of very talented people who are, you know, getting paid. We put them in a fairly affluent group of people, and many of them would choose to make Cupertino their personal home as well as professional home. I think there is a lot there plusia whole lot of trees.
我们也不想，所以这是第一条。此外，我们雇佣了很多优秀人才，各个年龄阶段的人都有。我雇了很多大学毕业生，比如斯坦福大学，还有50、60岁的员工，像我就是。在这里安家会是他们的首选。现在就有很多员工选择骑自行车去上班，我们也有公共交通系统，20辆烧生物燃料的班车，是目前最环保的车。这20辆班车目前正在旧金山和圣克鲁兹之间来回运行。这些都能让Cupertino受益。给Cupertino带来稳定的税收，优秀的人才，这些人收入颇丰，他们多半还会选择定居此地（拉动消费），当然，还有大片的数目和景观咯。
Sure. Those are great things. Thank you be more specific. Do we get free Wi-Fi or something like that?
谢谢，确实很赞。我还想知道苹果是否可以提供一些免费得服务，比如WIFI？
Well, see I'm always i'm a simpleton. I've always had the view that we pay taxes and the city should do those things. Now, if we can get out of paying taxes, I'd be glad to put up Wi-Fi.
我是个直肠子，我认为既然我们交税了政府就改提供这些服务。如果你给我们免税，我们就提供免费得WI-FI。
Wish you use our sales tax, part of that to provide iPad of something to our residence and then get a free Wi-Fi.
那给你免掉一些销售税，为市民免费提供iPad和Wi-Fi。
Yeah, I think we bring a lot more than free Wi-Fi and so.
我相信我们创造的价值比免费得Wi-Fi多得多。
Totally agree, well, thank you so much.
完全同意，非常感谢。
Sure.
不客气。
Council member Mahoney?
Mahoney议员有问题么？
Yeah, so, first of all, it was interesting, you throwback to HP. As 35-year HP employee, most of it on the Cupertino campus in those buildings there, obviously felt sorry when I heard that they were consolidating moving. But now that we've seen your plans, you know, the words spectacular would be an understatement, and I think that everybody is gonna appreciate what's clearly is gonna be the most elegant headquarters, you know, at least in the US that I've seen. So we definitely appreciate that the work is gone into it and look forward to working with you moving through the process.
你回首了惠普的往事，让我深有感触。我在惠普工作过35年，一直呆在惠普位于Cupertino的园区里，所以惠普离开Cupertino，我很舍不得。现在看到你的蓝图，我是心驰神往啊。大家都觉得这里就像是美丽的潘多拉星球，至少是美国的潘多拉。你们选择了Cupertino，我们非常荣幸，也会尽最大的努力帮助你们。
Thank you. I think we do have a shot of building the best office building in the world. And I really do think architecture students will come here to see this. I think it could be that good.
十分感谢，我们的建筑没准真会成为全球最好的办公楼。到时候各大建筑院校的学生都会过来“膜拜”，我还是挺有信心的。
Appreciate.
了不起了不起。
Yeah, thank you. Council member Chang?
谢谢谢谢。张议员？

全明星周末在1980年代末和1990年代初的时候，高涨到了一种非常惊人的程度。每当在全明星周末的日子里，球迷们不但能看到球星云集的全明星赛，而且其他技术的较量也令人看后如痴如醉，特别是三分球远投和扣篮大赛的竞赛，总能给人带来惊喜。
时间：1986年
地点：达拉斯
人物：拉里・伯德
关键词：三分大赛
1986年的达拉斯，小牛才进盟六年，NBA也仅有23支球队。在当时他们还在叫做团聚球馆的那片场地上，小牛举办队史上的首届全明星，同时，这里也诞生了NBA史上的第一次三分球大赛。这项赛事考验的是选手的远投准度、神经和决心。参赛者不光要相互比较，还要和时间赛跑，最重要的是要挑战自己。
现任勇士总裁的里克・威尔茨在28年前还是联盟的一个年轻的官员，他是第一届三分大赛的负责人。为了让这项新生事物为球迷所接受，威尔茨花了不少的功夫。他要设定对于球员和电视转播来说最好的投篮点，他要为广告商寻找投放广告的位置，威尔茨还创造了价值两分的彩球制度，这让比赛更具观赏性。
当然要想最终能走上正式舞台，还要联盟总裁大卫・斯特恩的批准。斯特恩担心的是比赛的直播效果，他希望威尔茨先在CBA联盟（美国大陆篮球协会）试行，并拍摄下来，让他看看效果。
第一次的结果并不那么让人满意，不过这和三分大赛本身没什么关系，主要还是CBA球员的远投水平太低。其实这不仅仅是CBA球员的问题，在那个年代，三分球在篮球战术体系中的地位远不如今天这么重要。
不成功的实验让威尔茨意识到，这项比赛缺乏一个成功的关键因素――明星。他缺少一个像扣篮大赛中“J博士”那样的人，一个足以让一项比赛变得万众瞩目的超级巨星。而拉里・伯德，使威尔茨很快的找到了自己的答案。其实在最开始，伯德对这项比赛不屑一顾。这一点从他答应参赛后的细节就能看出来。当时联盟规定，在三分球赛正式开始前半小时，参赛的球员要进入更衣室开一个短暂的小会。可伯德却是在会议即将开始前两分钟才抵达更衣室的。没错，当戴尔・埃利斯、埃里克・弗洛伊德、莱昂・伍德、特伦特・塔克、凯尔・马茨、诺姆・_以及格雷格・霍奇斯都已经在更衣室里面安坐的时候，他们忽然发现，还少了一个人。伯德哪里去了？当伯德出现后，更衣室一下子沉寂了下来，还是伯德用此后闻名于世的经典台词打破了沉默――“你们谁准备拿第二？”
不过，伯德的第一轮表现并不理想，尽管能够进入第二轮，但他只得到16分。有人说是因为伯德穿在外面的全明星外套阻挡了手感。伯德随后在第二轮投了18分，率先进入最后的决赛，坐在场边等待霍奇斯用加赛战胜埃利斯后，与他在决赛中会合。
伯德有自己的超强自信，但霍奇斯并不示弱。在那个赛季，霍奇斯的三分球命中率达到了，在第一轮，霍奇斯就拿下了25分，好好的给了伯德一个下马威。
霍奇斯在决赛中没有投进一个价值两分的彩球，这让他只有12分。而接下来，就是伯德足以载入史册的经典演出。他甩掉了自己的红色外套，站在了球的面前。飕，飕，飕，只见球一个又一个的空心入网。最终，22分，伯德赢得了第一届三分球大赛的冠军。
可以说，三分球大赛正是凭借第一届的成功才得以在全明星周末里生生不息。
里克・威尔茨：“我很庆幸三分球大赛能进入全明星周末。我们之前把CBA联盟的三分比赛拍下来，拿着录像带回来看，可结果糟糕透了。我们没有预料到CBA球员的水平远不如NBA的球员，看着球一次又一次地弹筐而出，这真的让人难以兴奋。”
拉里・伯德：“我本来还不会来参加这个赛事，但我的队友，罗伯特・帕里什说我怎么都赢不下这个比赛，因此，我就偏要来看看。我就是要向他证明，我能够出现在这个赛事中，我能够赢下这个赛事。”
格雷格・霍奇斯：“没有人告诉我们。当时，伯德可是联盟最顶尖的两个人之一，因此，这样的场合对于他根本不算什么，而我们更像是配角一般。
拉里・伯德：“我在里面走了一圈，然后说，‘男孩们，他们给的那个红白蓝相间的彩球可真滑啊，我简直都拿不住它。’我知道我有很大的机会赢下这个赛事，只要能够过了第一轮，我就知道我肯定能赢。”
格雷格・霍奇斯：“我当时真的笑死了，我知道这是伯德惯用的垃圾话战术，但这对于我可没有啥作用。”
汤姆・海因索恩（凯尔特人名宿）：“他（伯德）想要占有优势，不管是技术上还是身体上的，不过更多的是心理上的。”
多米尼克・威尔金斯：“我就知道伯德会进决赛，他还没出场我就知道。”
拉里・伯德：“一周前，（三分大赛冠军）就铁定属于我了，我知道我会赢，我一直在练习，我的队友说我赢不了，但我运气还不错。”
里克・巴里（当时担任电视解说）：“嘿，拉里，能不能消停一下，别连续投进了，让我休息下。”
时间：1987年
地点：西雅图
人物：朱丽叶斯・欧文
关键词：致敬
1986-87赛季前，朱丽叶斯・欧文对外界宣布要在赛季结束后退役，于是整个赛季成了“J博士”的告别巡回赛，每一个NBA赛场都向他致意敬礼，每一位球迷都向这位篮球伟人表示爱戴和敬意。
理所当然，1987年西雅图的全明星周末就是向“J博士”致敬。不过，所有的敬意和祝贺要暂时搁一搁，因为这届全明星是有史以来最精彩、最传奇的―次。比赛最后时刻，东部领先两分。罗兰多・布莱克曼突破上篮，四个东部球员将他在地。布莱克曼站上罚球线，伊塞亚・托马斯试图上去干扰他，但“魔术师”玩笑式的把托马斯推开。布莱克曼冷静的独自命中两个罚球，进入加时，并让西部最终154比149获胜。布莱克曼的自信感染了西部队，而更富有戏剧性的还是下面这个故事。
在这届全明星赛前，之前已经被选中的兰多夫・萨姆森因为伤病不能出席全明星赛。萨姆森的缺阵使得当时西部教练的主帅不得不重新选择一人出战。考虑到人气问题，主办方的超音速队中的一位球员自然成为他的首选。他没有选择能在三分大赛上和伯德决一高下的戴尔・埃利斯，也没选择拥有惊人的身体素质和华丽的技巧的麦克丹尼尔，最终他选择了汤姆・钱伯斯成为“补充球员”。这个决定促成了全明星赛史上最大的意外：一个不起眼的白人球员席卷34分，最终捧起MVP奖杯。
“魔术师”约翰逊：“‘J博士’的什么动作或者故事是你最难忘的？”
伊塞亚・托马斯：“最难忘的应该是‘J博士’在某次的训练营，我看着他好像是在罚球线起跳，然后就飞在了空中，孩子们都惊呆了，说：‘看啊，他飞在空中！”
“魔术师”约翰逊：“这就是‘J博士’。”
伊塞亚・托马斯：“是的。”
朱丽叶斯・欧文：“我站在那里享受着一切，自始至终我很感动，大家都知道我即将要离开篮球了。”
比利・坎宁安：“我们都尊敬朱丽叶斯，他的职业精神、对自身的要求以及对别人的关心，不但极大地影响了联盟，而且还会影响NBA很多年。”
罗兰多・布菜克曼：“犯规的同时终场哨声也响了，我知道有两次罚球机会，马上就有人开始说垃圾话了，是伊塞亚。”
伊塞亚・托马斯：“我记得‘魔术师’说，‘你别影响他，别和他说话’，但我还是在他面前晃啊晃，罚不进……罚不进……”
“魔术师”约翰逊：“我告诉伊塞亚，离我的队友远点。”
罗兰多・布菜克曼：“我当时一直集中精神，做好我该做的事――就是罚进这两个球。如果你看一下比赛录像，我在喊着自信，自信。我就是这么喊的，我知道第二罚会进的，我会罚进的。”
汤姆・钱伯斯：“我很兴奋能拿到MVP，尤其能在西雅图，在主场观众面前参加全明星赛，这也是我第―次入选全明星。”

1988年的扣篮大赛是史上最为经典的对决，强力的典范威尔金斯对上飘逸的代表乔丹。“土豆”韦伯和德雷克斯勒亦有参加。乔丹和威尔金斯如期进入决赛，威尔金斯首先以一个反弹球雷霆震扣取下50分，而乔丹左侧起跑垂直起飞，一个经典的“亲吻篮圈”同样取下50分。威尔金斯接着从篮筐底起飞，纵拉一个超级大风车，再度50分。而乔丹的转身双手扣仅得47分。威尔金斯最后一扣相对失准，轮臂大风车仅得45分。此时，乔丹需要一个49分才能夺冠。场边的“J博士”示意乔丹可以采用经典的罚球线扣篮。乔丹后场助跑，三分线跨步，脚踩罚球线起跳，在空中划出优雅的弧线，最后以完美的轨迹将球劈入篮筐。50分！
似乎为了尽善尽美，次日的全明星赛上，乔丹获得大量表演机会，最终取下全明星史上最高的40分，取下个人首座全明星MVP奖杯。
多米尼克・威尔金斯：“那应该是有史以来最精彩的扣篮大赛。”
迈克尔・乔丹：“我们两个都有超凡的创造力，你永远猜不到接下去会发生什么。”
多米尼克・威尔金斯：“和他较量很有意思。我其实可以赢，只是有些难度而已，尤其是在那个城市。无论如何，我们热爱竞争，这是一种传承，拉里・伯德、‘J博士’、‘魔术师’，这些人为我们余下的球员奠定了基调，那是篮球的伟大时代。”

1991年的全明星赛又一次把篮球场上最具观赏性的顶尖球员聚集到一起，但这一次他们是在一个特殊的时候展现他们的才华，不到一个月前爆发的海湾战争显然使这届全明星赛增加了一层深意。
NBA把这次全明星周末献给正在波斯湾打仗的美军士兵和他们的家人。另外，联盟还组织了一次全明星球衣的拍卖会，筹集到了大概78000美元，全部捐给了“OperationFamilyShield”，这是北卡罗来纳州的一个为参战家庭提供经济援助，帮助来自六个军事基地的波斯湾服役美军士兵家庭的组织。总统乔治・布什还录制了一个赛前演讲，向美军士兵和NBA致以了敬意。
这场具有特殊意义的比赛会通过电视和广播向前线的部队直播，而巴克利一如既往得凭借本能尽情发挥（得到17分并抢下22个篮板）给部队带去快乐。
查尔斯・巴克利：“我们的部队能看到这场比赛真是太好了，我希望能让他们彻底地放松两个小时，这就是体育的魅力，海湾战争是真枪实弹，但体育是娱乐放松。”
“魔术师”约翰逊：“我们只是尽自己一份力，带给大家一些欢乐，让大家都能从心底里感到快乐，缓解一下目前的紧张氛围。”
查尔斯・巴克利：“我希望大家今天都过得开心，希望波斯湾发生的一切能让我们更加成熟，希望体育能回到娱乐的范畴，我希望在波斯湾的部队和所有球迷能暂时忘记―切，尽情享受。”

关键词：退役
在1992年，代表着NBA娱乐精神的全明星赛走进了奥兰多这座娱乐气息十足的城市。原本人们期待两种娱乐产物的相遇会给迪斯尼城带来足够的欢乐和好运，但这届全明星却一度令所有人惴惴难安。
一切都源自于1991年11月2日突然宣布退役的“魔术师”约翰逊，他因为被查出携带HIV而被迫退役，在当时人们对这种病毒不甚了解的情况下，NBA整个联盟的前景都笼罩着阴云。
NBA总裁大卫・斯特恩希望能够给“魔术师”提供一个备受关注的退役舞台，所以在NBA联盟高层会议上，他明确提出希望约翰逊能够继续出现在全明星赛场上，但这一提议遭到了大多数老板和部分球员的强烈反对。
最终经过斡旋，“魔术师”的名字继续留在了球迷投票名单中。在不知道经过多少口舌和全民大讨论后，1992年全明星赛大幕才最终缓缓展开。约翰逊不仅出现在了奥兰多，而且还获得了首发出场的资格。
出现在奥兰多的“魔术师”曾十分尴尬，但好在有托马斯和乔丹在。在那届全明星赛还没开始时，乔丹和托马斯这两位平生一直针锋相对的冤家也罕见地亲密地说起了悄悄话，而内容就是如何让这场特殊的全明星赛变成“魔术师”的退役仪式。
比赛最后时刻，从“魔术师”在中场运球开始，托马斯就主动贴身盯防。“魔术师”向前推进一步，托马斯就跳跃着后退一步。两个人默契的“翩翩起舞”，然后“魔术师”推进到三分线附近，手臂随意一仰，球应入网。
在投进那颗看似随意的三分球后，“魔术师”微笑着跑开了。就这样，NBA史上惟一一次，在比赛还有16秒的情况下提前终结了比赛，因为针锋相对的赛场已经变成了球员间亲密拥抱的海洋。
全场斩获25分、9次助攻的“魔术师”在万众期待中捧起了MVP奖杯，他标志性的笑容最后一次在全明星赛场上绽放。
迈克尔・乔丹：“我知道‘魔术师’会打这场比赛。我回答的有关他的问题比他自己回答的还多。我想说的就是：‘嘿！我很高兴他能来，我很尊敬他，我希望他能享受回到全明星和大家一起打球。”
唐・尼尔森（当时西部明星队主教练）：“比赛前一天，我们进行了训练，练得很卖力。我们练了快攻和其他进攻战术，‘魔术师’很需要这样的训练，因为他有些失去感觉了，一个小时的训练让他有机会找到比赛的感觉。”
看乔布斯演讲的感悟 第5篇
无论是创建苹果公司，还是之后的皮克斯公司，起步之时，乔布斯都面临过许多障碍。但是乔布斯用他自己的方式创造了属于自己的世界，这仿佛是一种“扭曲力场”，它可以说服人们追随乔布斯的个人信念，实际上，这也是他推动公司前进的方法。此外，在董事会会议上和世界上最有权力的公司高管协商时，他还会使用一些操纵手段，确保自己获得成功。
许多人认为乔布斯是个天才，但是我们仍然可以从他运用过的各种策略中学到一二。在此，我们会教你如何得到自己想要的，无论是在你的职业生涯中，还是在自己的生活中，这些技巧都非常有帮助。我们会列举乔布斯生活中的一些实例，其中绝大多数故事都取自Walter Isaacson所著的《史蒂夫乔布斯》的个人传记。
努力工作，其他人才会尊重你。想得到自己想要的东西，尊重是最重要的第一步
1996年，当时的苹果公司遇到了非常严重的问题：他们把整个公司的希望寄托在一个全新的操作系统上面，但悲剧的是，这个系统当时没有，之后也没有解决苹果的需要。因此，苹果公司希望找到一个合作伙伴，构建一个更加稳定的操作系统。最后，入选合作伙伴的剩下了两家公司，一家是由Jean Louis GAssée创立的“Be”公司；还有一家，则是乔布斯的计算机公司NeXT，但实际上当时NeXT公司的日子也不好过。
但是，当这两家公司开始给苹果进行路演的时候，Gassée给人的感觉并不是重视苹果，一副漠不关心的样子，而乔布斯却不是这样，用时任苹果公司首席执行官Amelio的话说，当时乔布斯在NeXT操作系统的销售路演上的表现，只能用“令人眼花缭乱”来形容。
最终，乔布斯回到了苹果公司，而且他仍然领导皮克斯公司，他说自己每天从早上7点开始工作，一直到晚上九点，而且他还忍受着肾结石的病患之苦。不过，乔布斯依然坚持调动两家公司员工的积极性，他会经常出现在公司里面，尽力帮助员工制造出最好的产品，正是鉴于此，员工们都非常尊重乔布斯。
演讲时充满激情，强烈的情感表达可以影响他人
在乔布斯的工作技巧中，演讲是他掌握的一个极其关键的技能。同样，你也可以掌握和乔布斯一样的演讲技巧。这是一个推销自己，或是推销你产品的过程，演讲非常关键，因为本质上来说，它是让别人“购买”你的理念。
乔布斯曾经给知名小号手Wynton Marsalis做过一次路演，希望把iTunes所有能实现的功能都展现出来，当时他希望能够招募音乐家，乔布斯计划将所有歌手音乐家的唱片都纳入到iTunes旗下。Marsalis和乔布斯谈了整整两个小时。“他简直就像是着魔一样，”Marsalis说道，“而只用了片刻功夫，我就开始对他另眼相看，并不是因为他技术多么强，而是因为我被他的激情感染到了。”
作为一个市场营销大师，他在推销产品的时候一样充满了激情，不仅如此，乔布斯甚至要保证苹果公司制作的每一个广告，都要像他一样充满激情。
用魅力和恭维来消除人们的敌意
看乔布斯演讲的感悟 第6篇
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.
今天，我很荣幸能参加你们的毕业典礼，斯坦福大学是世界上最好的大学之一。我从来没有从大学毕业。说真的，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——我真正地作出退学决定之前，我还经常去学校。那么，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.
故事从我出生的时候讲起。我的生母当时是一个年轻的,尚未结婚的研究生，她决定让别人收养我。她十分想让我被大学毕业生收养。所以在我出生的时候，她已经做好了一切的准备工作，我将被一位律师和他的妻子收养。但是她没有料到，当我出生之后，律师夫妇突然决定他们想要的是一个女孩。
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.
所以我的养父母(他们在候选名单上)突然在半夜接到了一个电话:“我们现在这儿有一个亲生父母无法抚养的男婴,你们想要他吗?”他们回答道:“当然!”但是我亲生母亲随后发现，我的养母大学没毕业,我的父亲甚至高中没毕业。她拒绝签这个收养合同。只是在几个月以后,我的父母答应她一定要让我上大学,那个时候她才同意。
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 working-class 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.
在十七岁那年,我真的上了大学。但是我很愚蠢的选择了一个几乎和你们斯坦福大学一样贵的学校, 而我父母只是蓝领阶层，我的学费几乎要花光了他们所有积蓄。而六个月后, 我却看不到其中的价值所在。我不知道我想要在生命中做什么,我也不知道大学能怎么样帮助我找到答案。
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.
但是在这里，我几乎花光了我父母这一辈子的所有积蓄。所以我决定要退学,并且相信一切会有办法的。我当时确实非常的害怕, 但是现在回头看看,那的确是我这一生中曾经做过的最棒的一个决定。在我退学的那一刻, 我终于可以不必去读那些令我提不起丝毫兴趣的课程了，然后我还可以去修那些看起来有点意思的课程。
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:
但是事实并不是那么浪漫。我没有了宿舍住,所以我只能睡在朋友房间的地板上,我去捡可乐瓶子，以五分一个的价格卖掉，这样我就可以有点钱买吃的, 在每个星期天的晚上,我会走七英里的路程，到城市另一端的Hare Krishna寺庙(注：位于纽约Brooklyn下城),可以吃上每星期唯一一顿饱饭。我爱圣餐。我跟着我的直觉和好奇心走, 遇到了很多东西,此后被证明是无价之宝。我来举个例子吧：
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.
在那时，Reed大学提供全美最好的美术字课程。在这个大学里，每张海报, 每个抽屉的每个标签，全都是漂亮的手写美术字。因为我退学了, 不用去上那些常规的课程, 所以我决定去参加这个课程，去学学怎样写出漂亮的美术字。
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.
我学到了san serif 和serif字体, 我学会了怎么样在不同的字母组合之中改变空格的长度, 还有怎么样才能作出最棒的印刷式样。那是一种科学永远不能捕捉到的、美丽的、历史性的艺术精妙, 我发现那实在是太美妙了。
None of this had even a hope of any practical application in my life. But ten years later, when we were designing the first Macintosh computer, it all came back to me. And we designed it all into the Mac. It was the first computer with beautiful typography. If I had never dropped in on that single course in college, the Mac would have never had multiple typefaces or proportionally spaced fonts.
当时这些东西好像都没有什么会在我生命中实际应用的可能。但是十年之后,当我们在设计第一台Macintosh电脑的时候,它就回归到我身边。我把当时我学的那些家伙全都设计进了Mac。那是第一台使用了漂亮的印刷字体的电脑。如果我在大学里从没有学那门课，麦金塔电脑就不会有多种字体或者适当分隔的字体。
And since Windows just copied the Mac, its likely that no personal computer would have them. If I had never dropped out, I would have never dropped in on this calligraphy class, and personal computers might not have the wonderful typography that they do. Of course it was impossible to connect the dots looking forward when I was in college. But it was very, very clear looking backwards ten years later.
因为微软都是抄Mac电脑的，很可能在个人电脑上都不会有这些了。如果我没有退学，那我就不会旁听这门书法课，然后个人电脑就不会像现在这样有神奇的排印术了。当然在大学的时候，我还不可能把未来的点点滴滴串连起来,但是当我十年后回顾这一切的时候,真的豁然开朗了。
Again, you can't 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, _, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life.
再次说明下,你不可能将未来的片断串连起来;你只能在回顾的时候将点点滴滴串连起来。所以你必须相信这些片断会以某种方式在未来的某一天串连起来。你必须要相信某些东西：你的勇气、命运、生命、因缘，随便是什么。这种方法从来没有令我失望(let me down)，只是让我的生命更加地与众不同。
My second story is about love and loss.
我的第二个故事是关于爱和损失。
I was lucky – I found what I loved to do early in life. Woz and I started Apple in my parents garage when I was 20. We worked hard, and in 10 years Apple had grown from just the two of us in a garage into a billion company with over 4000 employees. We had just released our finest creation - the Macintosh - a year earlier, and I had just turned 30.
我非常幸运, 因为我在很早的时候就找到了我爱做的事情。在我二十岁的时候，我和Woz就在我父母的车库里面创立了苹果公司。我们工作地很努力, 十年之后, 苹果就从我们两个人窝在车库里发展到了拥超过四千名的雇员、价值超过十亿美金的大公司。而在那之前一年,我们发布了我们最精美的产品,那就是Macintosh，而我也刚过了三十岁了。
And then I got fired. How can you get fired from a company you started? Well, as Apple grew we hired someone who I thought was very talented to run the company with me, and for the first year or so things went well. But then our visions of the future began to diverge and eventually we had a falling out. When we did, our Board of Directors sided with him. So at 30 I was out. And very publicly out. What had been the focus of my entire adult life was gone, and it was devastating.
然后，我被炒了鱿鱼。你怎么可能被你自己创立的公司炒鱿鱼呢? 是这样地,在苹果快速成长的时候，我们雇用了一个我认为很有天分的家伙和我一起管理这个公司, 在第一年,公司运转得很好。但是后来我们对未来的愿景发生了分歧, 最终我们大吵一通。当我们争吵不可开交时, 董事会站在了他那边。所以在三十岁的时候, 我出局了。是一种非常公开地出局。我作为一个成人，生命中的焦点在我眼前消失了，这对我真的是毁灭性的。
I really didn't know what to do for a few months. I felt that I had let the previous generation of entrepreneurs down - that I had dropped the baton as it was being passed to me. I met with David Packard and Bob Noyce and tried to apologize for screwing up so badly.
在最初的几个月里，我真是不知道该做些什么。我感到我把从前的创业激情给丢了, 我把传到我手里的接力棒整到了地上。我和David Pack和Bob Boyce见面，并试图就如此悲惨地搞砸了向他们道歉。
I was a very public failure, and I even thought about running away from the valley. But something slowly began to dawn on me – I still loved what I did. The turn of events at Apple had not changed that one bit. I had been rejected, but I was still in love. And so I decided to start over.
在公众眼里，我非常地失败，我甚至想着从硅谷跑掉。但是有些事情开始慢慢地照亮我--我仍然喜爱我从事的事情。在苹果公司发生的转折没有改变它, 一点也没有。我被驱逐了,但是我仍然热爱它。所以我决定从头再来。
I didn't see it then, but it turned out that getting fired from Apple was the best thing that could have ever happened to me. The heaviness of being successful was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner again, less sure about everything. It freed me to enter one of the most creative periods of my life.
我当时没有意识到, 但是事后证明, 曾被苹果公司炒鱿鱼是我这辈子发生的最棒的事情。因为，作为一个成功者的沉重感觉被作为一个创业者的轻松感觉所代替: 对任何事情都不再那么自信。这让我觉得如此自由, 让我得以进入我生命中最有创造力的一个阶段。
During the next five years, I started a company named NeXT, another company named Pixar, and fell in love with an amazing woman who would become my wife. Pixar went on to create the worlds first computer animated feature film, Toy Story, and is now the most successful animation studio in the world.
在接下来的五年里, 我创立了一个名叫NeXT的公司, 还有一个叫Pixar的公司, 并和一位优雅的女士相爱，她后来成为我的妻子。Pixar 制作了世界上第一个用电脑制作的动画电影——“”玩具总动员”,Pixar现在也是世界上最成功的电脑制作工作室。
In a remarkable turn of events, Apple bought NeXT, I retuned to Apple, and the technology we developed at NeXT is at the heart of Apple's current renaissance. And Laurene and I have a wonderful family together.
在后来的一系列运转中,Apple收购了NeXT, 然后我回到了Apple公司。我们在NeXT发展的技术在Apple现在的复兴之中发挥了关键的作用。我和Laurence 一起建立了一个幸福的家庭。
I'm pretty sure none of this would have happened if I hadn't been fired from Apple. It was awful tasting medicine, but I guess the patient needed it. Sometimes life hits you in the head with a brick. Don't lose faith. I'm convinced that the only thing that kept me going was that I loved what I did. You've got to find what you love.
我可以非常肯定,如果我不被Apple开除, 这其中任何一件事情都不会发生。这件事本身是一味非常苦的药,但是我猜病人需要它。有些时候, 生活会拿起一块砖头猛拍向你的脑袋。不要失去信心。我很清楚唯一使我一直走下去的，就是我无比钟爱我做的事情。你得去找到你所爱的东西。
And that is as true for your work as it is for your lovers. 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 haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll 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. Don't settle.
对于工作是如此, 对于你的爱人亦然。你的工作将会占据生活中很大的一部分。让自己真正满意的唯一方式就是，只做那些你认为是杰出工作的事情。如果你还没有找到, 那么就继续找、不要停下来、全心全意的去找, 当你找到的时候你就会知道的。就像任何伟大的关系, 随着岁月的流逝只会越来越好。所以继续找，直到你找到它，不要停下来!
My third story is about death.
我的第三个故事与死亡有关。
When I was 17, I read a quote that went something like: “If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you'll most certainly be right.” It made an impression on me, and since then, for the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: “If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?” And whenever the answer has been “No” for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something.
我十七岁时, 我读到了一段引述，大致如下:“如果你把每一天都当作生命中最后一天去生活,那么有一天，你会非常确定你是正确的。”这句话给我留下了深刻的印象。从那时开始,过了33年,我在每天早晨都会对着镜子问自己:“如果今天是我生命中的最后一天, 你会不会完成你今天将要做的事情呢?”当连续很多天答案都是“否”的时候, 我就知道自己需要改变一些事情了。
Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything – all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure - these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. 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.
“记住我即将死去”是我一生中遇到的最重要箴言，它帮我做出了生命中重要的选择。因为几乎所有的事情, 包括所有外部的期待，所有的荣耀，所有的尴尬或失败,这些在死亡面前都会消失。留下的只有真正重要的。你有时候会思考你将会失去某些东西,“记住你即将死去”是我知道的避免陷入这个思考迷局的最好方法。你已经赤身裸体了, 你没有理由不去追随本心。
About a year ago I was diagnosed with cancer. I had a scan at 7:30 in the morning, and it clearly showed a tumor on my pancreas. I didn't even know what a pancreas was. The doctors told me this was almost certainly a type of cancer that is incurable, and that I should expect to live no longer than three to six months. My doctor advised me to go home and get my affairs in order, which is doctor's code for prepare to die. It means to try to tell your kids everything you thought you'd have the next 10 years to tell them in just a few months. It means to make sure everything is buttoned up so that it will be as easy as possible for your family. It means to say your goodbyes.
大概一年前, 我被诊断得了癌症。我在早晨七点半做了一个扫描, 清楚地显示在我的胰腺长了一个肿瘤。我当时甚至都不知道胰腺是什么。医生告诉我那很可能是一种无法治愈的癌症, 我还有三到六个月的时间。我的医生建议我回家, 然后整理好我的一切, 那就是医生们“准备死亡”的代号。意味着你要把未来十年对你小孩说的话在几个月里面说完.;那意味着把每件事情都搞定, 让你的家人会尽可能轻松的生活;那意味着你要说“再见了”。
I lived with that diagnosis all day. Later that evening I had a biopsy, where they stuck an endoscope down my throat, through my stomach and into my intestines, put a needle into my pancreas and got a few cells from the tumor. I was sedated, but my wife, who was there, told me that when they viewed the cells under a microscope the doctors started crying because it turned out to be a very rare form of pancreatic cancer that is curable with surgery. I had the surgery and I'm fine now.
那张诊断书伴随了我一整天。那天晚上我作了一个活切片检查，医生将一个内窥镜从我的喉咙伸进去,通过我的胃, 然后进入我的肠子, 用一根针在我的胰腺上的肿瘤上取了几个细胞。我当时服了镇定剂,不过我的妻子在那里, 她后来告诉我，当医生在显微镜下观察这些细胞的时候他们开始尖叫, 因为这些细胞最后竟然是一种非常罕见的可以用手术治愈的胰腺癌症。我做了这个手术, 现在我痊愈了。
This was the closest I've been to facing death, and I hope its the closest I get for a few more decades. 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:
那是我最接近死亡的时候, 我希望这也是以后的几十年最接近的一次。死亡对我来说，曾经只是一个有用但是纯粹是知识上的概念，经历过这次的生死考验, 我现在可以更肯定一点地对你们说，
No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don't want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life's change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new. Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic, but it is quite true.
没有人愿意死, 即使人们想上天堂, 人们也不会为了去那里而死。但是死亡是我们每个人共同的终点。从来没有人能够逃脱它。也应该如此。 因为死亡就是生命中最最好的发明。它是生命变更的媒介。它将旧的清除以便给新的让路。你们现在是新的, 但是从现在开始不久以后, 你们将会逐渐的变成旧的然后被清除。我很抱歉这很戏剧性, 但是这十分的真实。
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 other's opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.
你们的时间是有限的，所以不要浪费时间在活成别人的生命上。不要被教条主义所困，教条主义是仅仅活在别人的思考结果的人。不要让别人的意见淹没掉你自己内心的声音。而最终哟啊的，要有勇气追随你自己的本心和直觉。他们已经知道你真正想成为什么样的人。其他事情都是次要的。
When I was young, there was an amazing publication called The Whole Earth Catalog, which was one of the bibles of my generation. It was created by a fellow named Stewart Brand not far from here in Menlo Park, and he brought it to life with his poetic touch. This was in the late 1960's, before personal computers and desktop publishing, so it was all made with typewriters, scissors, and polaroid cameras. It was sort of like Google in paperback form, 35 years before Google came along: it was idealistic, and overflowing with neat tools and great notion。
当我还年轻的时候，有一个非常令人震惊的出版物，就是“完整地球目录”，是我们那一代人的宝典之一。这是由Stewart Brand创建的，他就待在离这里不远的Menlo 公园中。他用他诗人般的触感给这个期刊带来了生命。那是在60年代后期，还没有个人电脑和桌面印刷系统，所以完全时靠打字机、剪刀和拍立得相机做出来的。有点像是Google诞生35年前的Google的平装版，它充满了理想主义，洋溢着灵巧的工具和伟大的见解。
Stewart and his team put out several issues of The Whole Earth Catalog, and then when it had run its course, they put out a final issue. It was the mid-1970s, and I was your age. On the back cover of their final issue was a photograph of an early morning country road, the kind you might find yourself hitchhiking on if you were so adventurous. Beneath it were the words: “Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish.” It was their farewell message as they signed off. Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish. And I have always wished that for myself. And now, as you graduate to begin anew, I wish that for you.
Stewart 和他团队做出了几期的《完整地球目录》，然后这本杂志就终结了，他们推出了最后一期。那是再20世纪70年代中期，我当时像你们这么大。在他们最后一期的封底，是一张早晨乡间公路的照片，就是那种有点冒险精神的人在搭便车的时候会看到的那样。在图下面是这句话:“求知若渴，虚怀若谷”。这是他们停止广播时的告别语。求知若渴，虚怀若谷。我也总是希望自己也能做到这些。现在，你们要毕业了，开始新的生活，我也对你们衷心期待。
Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish.
求知若渴，虚怀若谷
Thank you all very much.
非常感谢
