　　找到你喜欢的，然后全力以赴
　　Find what you love, and go all out
　　史蒂夫乔布斯/ Steve Jobs
　　我非常幸运，因为我在很早的时候就找到了我钟爱的东西。我和Woz在我20岁的时候就在我父母的车库里面开创了苹果公司。我们工作得很努力，10年之后，这个公司从那两个车库中的穷光蛋发展到了超过4000名的雇员、价值超过20亿的大公司。在公司成立的第九年，我们刚刚发布了好的产品，那就是Macintosh。我也快要到30岁了。在那一年，我被炒了鱿鱼。你怎么可能被你自己创立的公司炒了鱿鱼呢？在苹果快速成长的时候，我们雇用了一个很有天分的家伙和我一起管理这个公司，在初的几年，公司运转得很好。但是后来我们对未来的看法发生了分歧，终我们吵了起来。当争吵得不可开交的时候，董事会站在了他的那一边。所以在30岁的时候，我被炒了。在这么多人的眼皮下我被炒了。在而立之年，我失去了整个生活重心，这真是毁灭性的打击。
　　在初的几个月里，我真是不知道该做些什么。我把从前的创业激情给丢了，我觉得自己让与我一同创业的人都很沮丧。我和David Pack和Bob Boyce见面，并试图向他们道歉。我成了人人皆知的失败者，我伸着想过逃离硅谷。但是我渐渐发现了曙光，我仍然喜爱我从事的这些东西。苹果公司发生的这些事情丝毫没有改变这些，一点也没有。我被驱逐了，但是我仍然钟爱它。所以我决定从头再来。
　　我当时没有觉察，但是事后证明，从苹果公司被炒是我这辈子发生的棒的事情。因为，作为一个成功者的极乐感觉被作为一个创业者的轻松感觉所重新代替：对任何事情都不那么特别看重。这让我觉得如此自由，进入了我生命中有创造力的一个阶段。
　　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，然后和一个后来成为我妻子的优雅女人相识。Pixar制作了世界上个用电脑制作的动画电影——《玩具总动员》，Pixar现在也是世界上成功的电脑制作工作室。在后来的一系列运转中，Apple收购了NeXT，然后我又回到了Apple公司。我们在NeXT发展的技术在Apple的复兴之中发挥了关键作用。我还和Laurence一起建立了一个幸福的家庭。
　　我可以非常肯定，如果我不被Apple开除的话，这些事情都不会发生。这个良药的味道实在是太苦了，但是我想病人需要这个药。有些时候，生活会拿起一块砖头向你的脑袋上猛拍一下。不要失去信心。我很清楚使我一直走下去的，就是我做的事情令我无比钟爱。你需要找到你所爱的东西。对于工作是如此，对于你的爱人也是如此。你的工作将会占据生活中很大的一部分。你只有相信自己所做的是伟大的工作，你才能怡然自得。如果你现在还没有找到，那么继续找，不要停下来，全心全意地去找，当你找到的时候你就会知道。就像任何真诚的关系，随着岁月的流逝只会越来越紧密。所以继续找，直到你找到它，不要停下来！
　　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 $2 billion company with over 4000 employees. We had just released our finest creation — the Macintosh — a year earlier, and I had just turned 30. 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.
　　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 had 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 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.
　　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 world’s first computer animated feature film, Toy Story,and is now the most successful animation studio in the world. In a remarkable turn of events, Apple bought NeXT, I returned 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.
　　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.
