1. 童年 Childhood(5)
我当时身处一个神奇的时代,提升我们觉悟的是禅宗, 还有迷幻药。使用迷幻药是一段意义非凡的经历,也是我一生中最重要的事情之一。迷幻药让你看到硬币的另一面,当药效退去之后你就记不清楚了,但你知道有这么一回事。它让我更清楚什么是重要的―创造伟大的发明,而不是赚钱。应该尽我所能,将此生放回历史和人类思想的长 河。

" it made an impression on me, and sinbsp;then, for the past 33 years, i have looked in the mirror every m 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 ge something.
the kids who went to stanford, they already knew what they wanted to do, they weren’t really artistibsp;i wanted something that was more artistibsp;and iing.
stanford e speebsp;june 2005steve jobs, by walter isaa, 2011我十七岁的时候, 读到了一句话:“如果你把每一天都当作生命中最后一天去生活的话,那么有一天你会发现你是正确的。”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想做的事情呢?”当答案连续很多次被给予“不是”的时候, 我知道自己需要改变某些事情了。
去念斯坦福的人,他们已经知道自己想要什么了,他们一点儿艺术性都没有。我想要上的是更富有艺术性的、更有趣的学校。
斯坦福毕业典礼演讲,2005年6月《史蒂夫?乔布斯传》,沃尔特?艾萨克森著,2011年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 w-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 en#小说 tire 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 babsp;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 i me, and begin dropping in on the ones that looked iing.
it wasn't all romantibsp;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 mubsp;of what i stumbled into by following my curiosity and intuition turned out to be priceless later on.
stanford e speebsp;june 2005stanford e speebsp;june 2005十七岁那年,我真的上了大学。但是我很愚蠢地选择了一个几乎和你们斯坦福大学一样贵的学校, 我父母还处于蓝领阶层,他们几乎把所有积蓄都花在了我的学费上面。在六个月后, 我已经看不到其中的价值所在。我不知道我想要在生命中做什么,我也不知道大学能帮助我找到怎样的答案。 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,我觉得这是个正确的决定。不能否认,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最棒的一个决定。</p>
