中营—乔布斯演讲

Speech at Stanford Commencement by Steve Jobs 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. 【参考译文】 我很确定，如果我没有被苹果公司解雇，这一切都不会发生。这是一种很难吃的药，但我想病人需要它。有时候，生活会用砖头打你的头。不要失去信心。我相信唯一让我坚持下去的是我热爱我所做的事情。你必须找到你爱的东西，这对工作和你的爱人都是一样的道理。你的工作将占据你生活的很大一部分，而真正满足的唯一方法是做你认为是伟大的工作，而做伟大工作的唯一方法是热爱你所做的。如果你还没有找到，那么就继续找，不要停。全心全意地找，当你找到时，你会知道的。就像任何真诚的关系，随着时间的流逝，只会越来越密。所以继续找，不要停。
