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. 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.
…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 frown 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.
Stay hungry, stay foolish.
Steve Jobs
我十分确定，如果当年苹果没开除我，就不会发生这些事情。良药苦口，但我猜想病人还是需要它。有时候，人生会用钻头敲你的脑袋。不要丧失信心。我确信，支持我继续前进的唯一动力是我热爱我所做的事情。你得到你之所爱，工作上是如此，对情人也是如此。你的工作将占据你的生活的一大部分，获得真正满足的唯一途径是热爱你的工作。如果你还没有找到你热爱的工作，就继续找吧，不要停下来。尽你全心全力，一旦找到了，你就会知道。并且，如同任何亲密的情谊一样，随着时间的推移，关系会越来越亲密。因此，继续去寻找吧，直到发现了它。不要停下来。
你们的时间有限，所以不要浪费时间，按别人的生活方式生活。不要被教条所束缚住――盲从教条就是按照别人的思考结果去生活。不要让别人的意见淹没了你内在的心声。最重要的是，要有勇气跟随你的内心和自觉走。你的内心和自觉已经隐约知道你真正想要成为什么样的人。任何其他事情都是次要的。
