乔布斯与禅

E-mail文化传播网https://www.sodocs.net/doc/0016027456.html,

美国总统奥巴马盛赞乔布斯：“他改变了我们的生活，重新定义了整个世界，并取得了人类历史上极为罕见的成就：他改变了我们看世界的方式。乔布斯位列美国最伟大的创新者行列，他勇于以不同方式思考，敢于相信自己能改变世界，足够睿智实现自己的想法。通过在自己的车库里建立世界上最成功的公司，他形象地展示了美国创新精神。通过制造个人电脑以及把互联网装入我们的口袋，他不仅仅使信息革命触手可及，而且变得直观、充满乐趣。”

乔布斯是个传奇：慧眼独具的战略思考、艺术唯美的产品设计、完美精彩的讲演技巧。但一个人外在的辉煌成就与的内在修为是密切相关的。学习乔布斯的智慧经验一定要内外兼顾，客观全面地来解读。乔布斯数十年虔心学佛，参禅打坐是他一生最大的精神追求，这都正向地影响了他的事业成功。

图片为1955年2月24日，乔布斯（Steve Jobs）在美国旧金山的出生地。

乔布斯很小时，就开始追问：我是谁？我来到这个世界上是为了干什么？

17 岁那年，乔布斯记住了这句话：“如果你把每一天都当作生命的最后一天过，总有一天你的假设会成为现实。”所以在他还是少年时，他就一直告诫自己：生命是短暂的，不久以后我们都将走到尽头。

对生死的思考，最终使乔布斯皈依佛法，修习禅宗。“我对那些能够超越有形物质或者形而上的学说极感兴趣，也开始注意到比知觉及意识更高的层次-直觉和顿悟。”这是乔布斯1973年在里德学院修炼禅学时的讲话，可见，他当时对禅已有较深的体悟了。

乔布斯的人生事业起步于禅修

在创办苹果之前，乔布斯一度不知道对自己的未来该如何决断，他很想继续修习禅宗，但是又无法放弃创业的理想，于是向禅师求教。禅师转述六祖慧能的话：“不是风动，也不是幡动，而是心动。”人生历程中，不管是制定公司产品策略，还是直面人事斗争，甚至面对生死挑战，乔布斯一直都是在追随他的心。

此为乔布斯在家里盘腿打坐的图片。

坐禅让人躲开了尘世喧嚣、避开了众多表面的事务，回归到问题本质，致使乔布斯具有高度发达的智慧。

图片中写的英文是：Stay Hungry , Stay Foolish ，中文翻译是：“求知若飢，虛心若愚。”这是乔布斯的座右铭。

乔布斯说，“佛教中有一句话：初学者的心态；拥有初学者的心态是件了不起的事情。”

乔布斯的禅道与商道

商道与禅修的深度互动关系。即使乔布斯修禅不为追求商道，也自然达到商道的最高境界。

定力惊人，直觉和穿透力更惊人

乔布斯曾说：“你的时间有限，所以不要为别人而活。不要被教条所限，不要活在别人的观念里。不要让别人的意见左右自己内心的声音。最重要的是，勇敢的去追随自己的心灵和直觉，只有自己的心灵和直觉才知道你自己的真实想法，其他一切都是次要。”

每天坐禅，启发灵感，增加决策力

乔布斯的办公室里面几乎什么都没有，只有房中间的一个坐垫，是用来打坐的。乔布斯有每天禅修习惯已经多年，在决策前，会先闭目静坐，然后叫属下将相关产品设计一并放到垫子的周围，来决定选择哪个放弃哪个。当心定下来的时候，直觉会非常的清晰、敏锐。

乔布斯的创新设计渗透了他的“禅”。“不立文字，直指人心”在乔布斯那里变成了一种独特的技术

和设计思路：NoButton。用户不需按钮，而是“直

指人心”的功能、效用和体验。所以iPod的外型设

计极其简单，使用者“所见即所得”。

乔布斯在公开场合常穿的那件圆领T恤衫，与翻领T恤不同，它没有一个钮扣。其实是他随身携带的旗帜，这是一面“不立文字，直指人心”的旗帜，但人们都知道上面写着什么——NoButton。这就是这位苹果教主的“禅”。

生命奇迹

乔布斯患顽疾八年，一次次在收到死亡通牒后，又重新走上苹果产品发布会的讲台，他超强的毅力和修禅的自在无虑心情，创造了生命的奇迹！

2005年在斯坦福大学的一个经典时刻。乔布斯当时在学生的毕业典礼上说:“死亡可能是生命的最佳创新,因为它将彻底改变你的生命。死亡让老人消失,从而为年轻人让路。现在你们是年轻人,但未来会逐步变为老人并消失。也许我的讲话过于戏剧性,但这是事实。”

乔布斯有超越常人的生死观，对于死亡，乔布斯很豁达，他曾这样说：“现在我可以更加实在地和你们谈论死亡，而不是纯粹纸上谈兵……死亡是我们共同的归宿，没人能摆脱。我们注定会死--死亡很可能是人类最好的一项发明，它推进生命的变迁，旧的不去，新的不来。”

《乔布斯的苹果》阅读答案

《乔布斯的苹果》阅读答案 《乔布斯的苹果》阅读答案 乔布斯的苹果 岑伯宁 1955年2月24日，史蒂夫·乔布斯出生在美国旧金山，刚刚出生就被亲生父母遗弃了。好心的乔布斯夫妻收留了他。乔布斯从小就很迷恋电子学。1974年，19岁的乔布斯只在大学念了一学期，就因为经济因素而休学。从一次尝尽苦头的印度修禅之旅回来后，乔布斯借住在朋友沃兹家的车库里。两人都梦想着能够拥有一台自己的计算机，可是当时市面上卖的都是IBM的商用机器，且体积庞大，极其昂贵，于是，他们准备自己开发。 制造个人电脑需要微处理器，英特尔的8080集成电路芯片是当时的个人电脑DIY爱好者的首选，但不仅售价贵而且不出售给未注册公司的人。两人经过不断寻找，终于买到了摩托罗拉公司出品的6502芯片。 万事齐备后，沃兹利用下班时间组装电脑。1975年6月29日的晚上10点钟，后来被乔布斯命名为“苹果1号”的个人电脑诞生了。 1976年4月1日，愚人节，乔布斯、沃兹签署了一份合同，决定成立一家电脑公司。公司名称是乔布斯起的——那就是他最喜欢的水果“苹果”。 很快地，苹果公司开始制作自己的第二款产品“苹果2号”。然而，沃兹和乔布斯对产品的定位发生了重大分歧。沃兹坚持要给电脑加上方便

的外用设备插槽，而乔布斯则认为这种设计思路有违自己的美学。两人的这种矛盾，据《史蒂夫·乔布斯传》中文版总审校赵嘉敏分析，源于两人对IT产品的核心价值的理念冲突。史蒂夫·沃兹的开放精神和乔布斯的封闭理念全无交点。然而到了今天，一手创造了苹果的沃兹也认同“没有乔布斯，就没有苹果”，坦承如果按照自己的想法走下去，苹果不会有今天。 在众多关于苹果公司的传说中，乔布斯被描绘成一个刚愎自用、态度粗暴的天才。一方面才华横溢，极具人格魅力，注重细节到了几乎病态的地步；另一方面，生意上的利益分毫不让，丝毫不给对手留面子。1985年，乔布斯面临着与IBM个人电脑业务的大战，推出了价格昂贵的Lisa个性电脑。IBM在1981年也推出了自己的个人电脑业务，采用了沃兹一度主张的开放体系架构。乔布斯从未掩饰对IBM的敌视。1984年，他主导苹果公司最著名的广告《1984》，片中以“老大哥”影射IBM，并安排了一个美女手挥锤子将“垄断黑幕”打碎，强调创新对于推动产业变革的革命性力量。 一年之后，苹果公司在个人电脑业务上一败涂地，IBMPC和微软统治了市场。董事会意识到了乔布斯的经营理念与当时多数的管理者并不相同，恰恰在这个时候，乔布斯将职业经理人斯卡利从百事可乐公司挖到苹果公司来当CEO。 斯卡利擅长的是做一个普通500强的CEO，将利润最大化。苹果却不是一个普通的企业，乔布斯赋予了它特殊的气质和灵魂。要想在苹果

乔布斯斯坦福大学演讲稿中英版

Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish. I am honored to be with you today at your commencement from one of the finest universities in the world. I never graduated from college. Truth be told, 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. It dropped out of Reed College after the first 6 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 college 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 have an unexpected baby boy; do you want him?" They said: "Of course." My biological mother later found out 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 someday go to college. 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 OK. 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 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 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

乔布斯的13个小故事

或许你还不知道的苹果CEO乔布斯的小故事 根据国外媒体报道，苹果CEO斯蒂夫-乔布斯一手带大的苹果公司为在线音乐带来了一场革命，创造了一款风靡全球的智能手机，引领着皮克斯动画工作室(Pixar Animation Studios)成为电脑动画的领航者，现在又再一次以一款iPad改写了电脑的历史。 是的，苹果CEO斯蒂夫-乔布斯通常位列最受尊敬的CEO之列一点都不让人奇怪。乔布斯同时还被《财富》杂志选为“十年最佳首席执行官”(CEO of the Decade)，《财富》杂志认为，“乔布斯前所未闻地导致四个行业——电脑、音乐、电影和智能电话——重新洗牌”。 苹果的众多粉丝和投资者认为乔布斯无可替代，然而身患胰腺癌的乔布斯最近宣布病休以集中精力治疗，两年前乔布斯也因同样原因休息了一段时间。 在苹果再一次处理乔布斯“病休”的时候，这里与读者一起分享有关乔布斯的15个鲜为人知的秘密。 1、大学辍学 很少有人知道斯蒂夫-乔布斯大学没读完就辍学了。1972年，乔布斯从美国加州库比提诺市Homestead高级中学（Homestead High School）毕业，同时被俄勒冈瑞德学院（Reed College ）录取。 一个学期后，乔布斯辍学了，并在1976年4月份与一道辍学的斯蒂夫-盖瑞-沃兹尼亚克(Stephen Gary Wozniak) 在自己的车库中创建了苹果。当时，21岁的乔布斯担任销售员的角色，而沃兹尼亚克则是工程师。 2008年8月，沃兹尼亚克在英特尔公司的一个会议上谈到乔布斯时表示，“从我们很年轻的时候开始，每当我设计出什么好东西，乔布斯总会说，‘让我卖了它吧’，总是他来出主意把东西卖出去的”。 2、生父是阿拉伯人 乔布斯1955年2月24日生于旧金山。母亲乔安-卡罗尔-席博（Joanne Carole Schieble）和叙利亚裔父亲阿卜杜勒法塔赫-江达利（Abdulfattah Jandali）当时尚未结婚。克拉拉-乔布斯和保罗-乔布斯收养了乔布斯，这是一个家境并不宽裕的美国中产阶级家庭。 3、比尔-盖茨也是他的粉丝 1998年1月，微软前总裁比尔-盖茨在被问及自己最欣赏的CEO时表示，“就精神领袖而言，斯蒂夫-乔布斯是我见过的最棒的。他有着完美产品的理想，而且他能够传播这种产品”。 4、在印度寻求“启蒙” 1974年夏天，为寻求理智启蒙(Spiritual Enlightenment)，乔布斯和瑞德学院的好友之一丹-科特克（Dan Kottke）去了印度。 深陷哲学心境的乔布斯当时很想学习和体验唯心论和存在主义。在印度，他曾想到卡尼奇达姆【Kainchi Dham；编者注：此处是一个现代朝圣中心】拜访传奇高僧尼姆-卡洛里-巴巴（Neem Karoli Baba），但是当他们抵达的时候发现巴巴已经圆寂了。 5、2010年薪水1美元 最为最让尊敬的CEO，乔布斯只领取1美元的薪水。他的薪资引起世人注意是在2001

乔布斯和苹果公司的英文演讲

NOW, I am standing here to show my undying thanks to everybody present. Today,I would like to talk about Steven jobs and the Apple inc. There are three famous apples of the world.one seducing Eva, one awaken Newton，one is in jobs' hand, making him famous and rich. Owing to jobs?charismatic leadership qualities.In recent years, the company has branched out, introducing and improving upon other digital appliances. With the introduction of the iPod portable music player, iTunes digital music software, and the iTunes Store, the company made forays into consumer electronics and music distribution. In 2007, Apple entered the cellular phone business with the introduction of the iPhone, a multi-touch display cell phone, which also included the features of an iPod and, with its own mobile browser, revolutionized the mobile browsing scene. But, how can jobs get such a big success? I just want to quotesome mottos of jobs to show how can he successed. 1.Steve Jobs said: “Innovation distinguishes between a leader and a follower.”Innovation has no limits. The only limit is your imagination. It?s time for you to begin thinking out of the box. 2.Steve Jobs said:There is no shortcut to excellence.Live by a higher standard and pay attention to the details that really do make the difference. Excellence is not difficult – simply decide right now to give it your best shot – and you will be amazed with what life gives you back. 3.Steve Jobs said: “The only way t o do great work is to love what you do. If you haven?t found it yet, keep looking. Don?t settle. 4.Steve Jobs said: “There?s a phrase in Buddhism, …Beginner?s mind.? It?s wonderful to have a beginner?s mind.”Think of beginner?s mind as the mind that faces life like a small child, full of curiosity and wonder and amazement. 5.Steve Jobs said: “Your time is limited, so don?t waste it living someone else?s life. Don?t let the noise of other?s opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart . Live a life that YOU choose and be your own boss. So many good qualities that jobs have , making Apple the most famous company in the world. So many good qualities that jobs have , making him rich and famous. In the last few years Nokia have lost as much as ithave won in a decade. Nokia and Microsoft are engaged in a “life or death” battle with their younger and competitors Apple , who are closing in on them and became a serious threat against Nokia. So Nokia?s average selling price has been falling steadily, from $65 at the start of last year, to an expected $55 this quarter. Can an alliance solve their problems ?Sorry ,I have no idea about it. But ,I have to say that APPLE will actually attract shareholders and venture capital financiers due to it?sBeautiful design.But,I would like to hope both of them can win the war.Under competition one turns out to be more active .Futhermore, competition gives each company shows greater initiative at

营销角度分析乔布斯让苹果手机畅销的五种方法

营销角度分析乔布斯让苹果手机畅销的五种方法 2011年07月25日07:19 来源：价值中国网作者：风青杨 顶级奢侈品炫耀的是什么？ 品位、优雅、时尚、尊贵……无一不是人性的东西。宝马最成功的营销,莫过于与007的多次合作,成功、激情、魅力成为宝马的品牌性格。在这个品牌制胜的时代,要在众多优秀的品牌中脱颖而出,仅靠功能特性已经远远不够,要赋予品牌更多人性化的因素,才能产生更大的吸引力。苹果的市值超过微软1000多亿美元,相当于超越了一个惠普。近10年来,PC业发生了天翻地覆的变化,并不是技术派先驱的苹果基本都踩对了点,从PC到消费电子,到互联网,再到移动互联网。乔布斯靠的不是一种技术导向,说我要称霸移动互联网什么的。他的成功是基于对人性的了解,把握人的欲望和对需求的细节。从而一路把人性营销做到了极致。 未曾营销先造势 往往越是未知的东西即将到来,人们便越是想迫切地知道真相。“好奇害死猫”说的就是这种人的天性,而企业利用好人们这种围观和看热闹的心态,就能让你即使用低成本也能做好宣传。例如歌坛的王菲,这个歌坛天后拥有数量惊人且忠诚度超高的粉丝,她并不会去讨好歌迷,她高傲且特立独行,并经常冒出让人崩溃的个性言论。但这正是她的特质,吸引无数忠实的粉丝追逐膜拜。 正如管理大师德鲁克所说:“市场营销的目标是使推销成为多余”,这是真正的营销境界,而苹果真正的做到了。在苹果迷们盼望苹果手机面世的长达一年多时间里,网上讨论不断,甚至有人自称搞到了苹果手机的设计方案。但直到发布当日,人们最终看到iPhone的真实面目,几乎所有人都猜中了它叫iPhone,但几乎所有人都没有猜中他的造型,更为他的各种性能惊叹。我在给总裁班的学员们培训时,还曾这样比喻。正如爱情真正令人愉悦的是追逐的过程,而非婚后生活。那么患得患失的心境和探求未知结果的神秘感,是产品推广和品牌宣传中最有价值

乔布斯和他的苹果

《乔布斯和他的“苹果”》

乔布斯和他的苹果 一、前言 Apple公司是位于美国硅谷的一家家喻户晓的高科技公司，Apple公司1980年12月12日公开招股上市，2012年创下6235亿美元的市值记录，截至2014年6月，Apple公司已经连续三年成为全球市值最大公司。Apple公司在2016年世界500强排行榜中排名第9名。2013年9月30日，在宏盟集团的“全球最佳品牌”报告中，Apple公司超过可口可乐成为世界最有价值品牌。2014年，Apple品牌超越谷歌（Google），成为世界最具价值品牌。 而苹果之所以能够大放异彩，在众多高科技公司中脱颖而出，成为世界一流的大品牌，也和创始人之一的史蒂夫·乔布斯这一名伟大人物有着重要关系。 二、乔布斯生平与苹果的发展史 史蒂夫·乔布斯出生在美国旧金山，刚出世就被抛弃了，但是幸运的乔布斯被好心的保罗·乔布斯和克拉拉·乔布斯夫妇收养。他从小就生活在美国硅谷附近，邻居也大多是惠普公司的职员，耳濡目染之下，乔布斯从小就对电子学十分感兴趣。一个惠普的工程师看他如此痴迷，就推荐他参加惠普公司的“发现者俱乐部“，这是个专门为年轻工程师举办的聚会，每星期二晚上在公司的餐厅中举行。在一次聚会中，乔布斯第一次见到了电脑，他开始对计算机有了一个朦胧的认识。 可是由于家里经济的问题，虽然热爱电子信息科学，但是乔布斯并没有上大学，而是成为雅达利电视游戏机公司的一名职员。乔布斯一边上班，一边常常与好友沃兹尼亚克一道，在自家的小车库里琢磨电脑。他们梦想能够拥有一台自己的计算机，可是当时市面上卖的都是商用的，且体积庞大，极其昂贵，于是他们准备自己开发。充满野心的乔布斯从来都不安于现状，他甚至想成立一家电脑公司！ 1.“苹果”诞生 沃兹尼艾克是一个技术天才，他们在乔布斯妹妹的卧室里设计苹果Ⅰ电脑，并开始在车库里生产制造。当地的一个电子产品零售商看了他们的机器之后，便订购了50台。成功仿佛比预想得还要迅速。他们变卖了所有值钱的东西，凑齐1300美元开始了创业。乔布斯将新公司命名为苹果（Apple）。乔布斯和沃兹尼艾克将苹果Ⅰ定价为666美元推向市场。苹果Ⅰ是第一台只有一个主板的个人电脑。看起来苹果Ⅰ的销量成绩喜人，但也只是上百台而已。 之后“苹果“公司开始了小批量生产。1976年10月，马尔库拉前来拜访沃兹和他们的车库工场。马尔库拉是位电气工程师，擅长推销工作，他主动帮助他们制定一份商业计划，给他们贷款69万美元，有了这笔资金，“苹果“公司的发展速度大大加快了。 2.“苹果”腾飞 第二年乔布斯和沃兹尼艾克设计了苹果Ⅱ,它定义了个人电脑的标准：显示器，键盘，驱动器，主板插槽，电源机箱。沃兹尼艾克花了两周时间设计的软盘驱动器精妙绝伦，只有同类产品的四分之一大小，苹果Ⅱ的所有设计完全由沃兹尼艾克一个人完成，甚至连其中的Basic解释程序也是沃兹尼艾克编的。沃兹尼艾克认为能卖出1000台苹果Ⅱ就不错了。乔布

I never graduated from college. Truth be told, 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. 我今天很荣幸能和你们一起参加毕业典礼，斯坦福大学是世界上最好的大学之一。我从来没有从大学中毕业。说实话,今天也许是在我的生命中离大学毕业最近的一天了。今天我想向你们讲述我生活中的三个故事。不是什么 大不了的事情,只是三个故事而已。 The first story is about connecting the dots. 第一个故事是关于“因”和“果”。 I dropped out of Reed College after the first 6 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? 我在Reed大学读了六个月之后就退学了,但是在十八个月以后——我真正的作出退学决定之前,我还经常去学校。我为什么要退学呢？ It started before I was born. My biological mother was a young, unwed college 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 whe n 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 have an unexpected baby boy; do you want him?" They said: "Of course." My biological mother later found out 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 someday go to college. 故事从我出生的时候讲起。我的亲生母亲是一个年轻的,没有结婚的大学毕业生。她决定让别人收养我, 她十分 想让我被大学毕业生收养。所以在我出生的时候，她已经做好了一切的准备工作，能使得我被一个律师和他的妻子所收养。但是她没有料到,当我出生之后,律师夫妇突然决定他们想要一个女孩。所以我的生养父母（他们还 在我亲生父母的观察名单上）突然在半夜接到了一个电话:“我们现在这儿有一个不小心生出来的男婴,你们想要他吗？”他们回答道:“当然！”但是我亲生母亲随后发现，我的养母从来没有上过大学,我的父亲甚至从没有读过高中。她拒绝签这个收养合同。但是在几个月以后,我的父母答应她一定要让我上大学,那个时候她才同意。 And 17 years later I did go to college.

乔布斯生平介绍,一生的伟大事迹 一九九七年在史蒂夫·乔布斯重返苹果执掌CEO之位不久，他便觉得公司合作的一家航运公司的备件递送速度不够快。航运公司回复称自己没办法做的更好，而且自己也没必要做的更好：苹果与其签署的合同已经同意航运公司以目前的递送速度运作业务。据沃尔特·艾萨克森最畅销的传记《乔布斯传》所述，这位最近重新加冕的传奇CEO当时只做了一个简单的举措：撕毁合同。苹果一位经理警告乔布斯，这一决定很有可能会惹来官司，乔布斯道：“告诉他们，如果他妈的敢告我们，以后就别他妈的想从苹果这赚一个铜子儿。” 这家公司后来起诉了苹果。这位经理也从苹果辞职了（他告诉艾萨克森，乔布斯“无论如何也会开除我的”）。这场法律纠纷耗时一年，据推测苹果也花了一大笔钱才解决。但是同时，苹果聘请了另一家新航运公司，可满足这位强硬CEO的苛刻要求。 我们从乔帮主这则轶事中能学到些什么经验呢？作为普通人的我们总会从成功人士的生平事迹中寻求启发和教导。但是乔布斯给我们上的这一课则让人不那么舒服：任何会妨碍你追寻目标的社会及商业交往准则都可违反。乔布斯经常骂它下属傻逼，称他们总不会把事情做好。据艾萨克森记载，苹果盖世无双的设计大师乔纳森·伊夫偶尔也会遭到粗暴对待。有一次，乔布斯在登记入住伊夫亲自为其挑选的伦敦一家五星级酒店后，他大骂酒店是“一坨垃圾”，甩手就走。伊夫对这位传记作家解释道：“他觉得社会交往的一般准则不适用于他。”乔布斯对这些规则的蔑视也蔓延到工作之外，从他甚少相处的家人到陌路人（警察，零售店员工），只要他们令乔布斯不快，就会见识到这位CEO的愤怒言词。 乔布斯去世将近一年，但是他的官方传记却依然是最畅销的传记类作品。的确，乔布斯的生平事迹正逐渐成为企业家应拜读的一种圣经——一种箴言，同时也是一种蔑视常规的箴言。对一部分人而言，乔布斯的生平展示了坚守理念、坚守目标之重要性，不论会对员工和商业伙伴的心灵造成多大的创伤。对另一部分人而言，乔布斯则是一则警世寓言，他改变了世界，却疏离了身边人。这两种看法存在的分歧也印证了当今我们大多数人深藏内心且相互矛盾的两种渴望：我们渴望在工作中取得成功，但我们也渴望在家庭和生活中获得满足。对于乔布斯这种誓要“改变世界”的人而言，他坎坷的人生已经归零。然成为乔布斯式的人是否真值得呢？ 有一群人你可称他们为信徒。他们是一群生意人。作为梦想者，作为竞争对手，尤其是作为老板，他们以乔布斯的生平事迹为标杆，咄咄逼人。他们让自己沉湎当将军，有时甚至是当独裁者的快感中。工作已是他们生活的中心，但是乔布斯的传奇让他们更坚定的在这条道上一路走到底。 乔布斯的箴言已经远播出硅谷圈，激励着各行各业的人们。 史蒂夫·戴维斯是TwoFour公司的CEO，这家软件公司主要为金融机构服务。这位CEO 就渴望谈论乔布斯给他生活及工作带来的影响。当他终于抽出一点时间来谈论时，他觉得自己有意识地在回避某些的家庭生活，因为他深信创业者若不能24小时全天候待命，初创公

乔布斯斯坦福大学演讲中英文jobs _stanford_commencement_speech

Stanford Commencement Speech Apple CEO Jobs Thank you. I'm honored to be with you today for your commencement 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 eighteen 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. And seventeen years later, I did go to college, but I nearly 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 of how college was going to help me figure it out, and here I was, spending all the money my parents had saved their entire 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 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
