Thank you.

I'm honored to be with you today for your mencement from one of the finest universities in the world. Truth be told, I never graduated from college, and 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.

The first story is about connecting the dots. I dropped out of Reed College after the first six 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?

It started before I was born. My biological mother was a young, unwed 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've got an unexpected baby boy; do you want him?" They said, "Of course." My biological mother found out later 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 go to college. This was the start in my life. 第一个故事，是关于人生中的点点滴滴怎么串连在一起。我在里德学院

(Reedcollege)

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. 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 okay. 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 far more interesting.

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 five cent deposits to buy food with, and I would walk the seven 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:

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 binations, 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.

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 puter, it all came back to me. And we designed it all into the Mac. It was the first puter 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. And since Windows just copied the Mac, it's likely that no personal puter would have them. If I had never dropped out, I would have never dropped in on that calligraphy class, and personal puters 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 10 years later.

So, three things: a widescreen iPod with touch controls; a revolutionary mobile phone; and a breakthrough Inter munications device. An iPod, a phone, and an Inter municator. An iPod, a phone … are you getting it? These are not three separate devices, this is one device, and we are calling it iPhone.

Yes, I bet you must have got which entrepreneur I’m going to introduce today. He is the father of the iphone and a revolutionary of the electronics industry Steven Jobs who are born to put a dent in the universe.

Steve Jobs was born in San Francisco, California, where he was adopted by his foster mother. In 1972, Jobs graduated from Homestead High School and enrolled in Reed College. Owing a deep- interest in technology, he took up a job as a leading manufacturer of video games. When Jobs was 19 years old, he dropped out from the university , and after that he always researched the puter with his friend Wozniak who had the same interest with him. In 1976, they founded Apple Computer in the Jobs family garage. The first puter was sold for $666.66.Encouraged by the suess of their first puter, on the fool day in 1976, they signed a contract and decided to found a puter pany. At the beginning, everything went well .While the appearance of IBM’s personal puter attacked them a lot, Jobs had no choice but to leave the pany and founded the Next puter pany.

In 1996, Jobs was famous for the suess of the puter animated film—Toy Story. At the same time, the Apple Company was faced with the bust-up risk. In 1997, Jobs returned as Apple CEO. He reformed the pany thoroughly and cooperate with Microsoft, Jobs became the cover person of Times again.

In 1998, Apple launched iMac, which was the best -selling personal puter in America. In 1999, Apple launched iBook、G4 and iMac DV. And just as expected, all of them made a huge impact. In , the music industry forever changed with the iPod, iTunes followed. Billions of songs were downloaded. In, Jobs captures the world’s attention again with the iPhone. They made an app for everything. In , Jobs launched his latest creation— iPad , which was the fast-selling technological device ever. Jobs leads Apple create one and another miracle.

But unfortunately in , Jobs was diagnosed with a malignant tumor in his pancreas. As a result, Jobs resigned as CEO of Apple on August 24, . On October 5, , Jobs passed away. Like Jobs many entrepreneurs have their own entrepreneurship they use their talents to find business opportunities which are not discovered by normal people. So now let me give you a brief conclusion about Jobs entrepreneurship.

1. bravery

The capacity and willingness to develop, organize and manage a business venture along with any of its risks. There is no such a thing as a free lunch. There is a chance in front of you with some uncertain things together. If you want to be suessful, you should make a choice .To face the risks or to give up? Only when you take the challenge can you gain aess to suess.

2. Creativity

You catch peoples’ eyes if you create something new .For example, iphone from generation to generation , which attract a lot of customers to buy their new product.

3. cooperation

One tree does not make a forest. Teamwork can make a pany run in a stale pace, showing great power.

4. devotion

Being devoted can help the pany bee more powerful. A pany with a warm and aspirant environment will work efficiently.

5. passion for study

If three of us are walking together, at least one of the other two is good enough to be my teacher. Being willing to learn from others can help bine the enterprise with many advantages. 6. Integrity

No one wants to cooperate with the pany that won’t obey the contract. No one wants to buy the product from the without honesty.

My second story is about love and loss. 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 ten years, Apple had grown from just the two of us in a garage into a $2 billion pany with over 4,000 employees. We'd just released our finest creation, the Macintosh, a year earlier, and I'd just turned 30, and then I got fired. How can you get fired from a pany you started? Well, as Apple grew, we hired someone who I thought was very talented to run the pany 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, and 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. 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. 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'd been rejected but I was still in love. And so I decided to start over. 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 suessful 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 in my life. During the next five years I started a pany named NeXT, another pany named Pixar and fell in love with an amazing woman who would bee my wife. Pixar went on to create the world's first puter-animated feature film, "Toy Story," and is now the most suessful animation studio in the world.

In a remarkable turn of events, Apple bought NeXT and I returned to Apple and the technology we developed at NeXT is at the heart of Apple's current renaissance, and Lorene and I have a wonderful family together.

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's going to hit 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, and that is as true for 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, and 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. Don't settle.

My third story is about death. 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. Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important thing 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

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. 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, karma, whatever--because believing that the dots will connect down the road will give you the confidence to follow your heart, even when it leads you off the well-worn path, and that will make all the difference.
