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］
I was lucky - I found what I loved to do early in life. Woz andI started Apple in my parents garage when I was 20. We workedhard， and in 10 years Apple had grown from just the two of us ina garage into a 2 billion company with over 4000 employees. Wehad just released our finest creation - the Macintosh - a yearearlier， and I had just turned 30. And then I got fired. How can youget fired from a company you started？ Well， as Apple grew wehired someone who I thought was very talented to run the companywith me， and for the first year or so things went well. But thenour visions of the future began to diverge and eventually we had afalling out. When we did， our Board of Directors sided with him. Soat 30 I was out. And very publicly out. What had been the focus ofmy entire adult life was gone， and it was devastating.
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，我们刚刚发布了最好的产品，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，在最初的几年，公司运转得很好。但是后来我们对未来的看法发生了分歧，最终我们吵了起来。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。
I really didnt know what to do for afew months. I felt that I had let the previousgeneration of entrepreneurs down - thatI had dropped the baton as it was beingpassed to me. I met with David Packardand Bob Noyce and tried to apologize forscrewing up so badly. I was a very publicfailure， and I even thought about runningaway from the valley. But something slowlybegan to dawn on me - I still loved whatI did. The turn of events at Apple had notchanged that one bit. I had been rejected，but I was still in love. And so I decided tostart over.
在最初的几个月里，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。
I didnt see it then， but it turned out thatgetting fired from Apple was the best thingthat could have ever happened to me. Theheaviness of being successful was replaced bythe lightness of being a beginner again， lesssure about everything. It freed me to enter oneof the most creative periods of my life.
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最棒的事情。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，进入了我生命中最有创造力的一个阶段。
During the next five years， I started acompany named NeXT， another companynamed Pixar， and fell in love with anamazing woman who would becomemy wife. Pixar went on to create theworlds first computer animated featurefilm， Toy Story， and is now the mostsuccessful animation studio in the world. In a remarkable turn of events， Applebought NeXT， I returned to Apple， and thetechnology we developed at NeXT is at theheart of Apples current renaissance. AndLaurene and I have a wonderful familytogether.
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制作了世界上第一个用电脑制作的动画电影——《玩具总动员》，Pixar现在也是世界上最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。
Im pretty sure none of this would havehappened if I hadnt been fired from Apple. It was awful tasting medicine， but I guessthe patient needed it. Sometimes life hitsyou in the head with a brick. Dont losefaith. Im convinced that the only thingthat kept me going was that I loved whatI did. Youve got to find what you love. And that is as true for your work as itis for your lovers. Your work is going tofill a large part of your life， and the onlyway to be truly satisfied is to do what youbelieve is great work. And the only wayto do great work is to love what you do. If you havent found it yet， keep looking. Dont settle. As with all matters of theheart， youll know when you find it. And，like any great relationship， it just getsbetter and better as the years roll on. So keep looking until you find it. Dontsettle.
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。我很清楚唯一使我一直走下去的，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！
你可以拥有一切，但不是马上拥有You can have it all. Just not all at once

So， today， I just want to share afew lessons-meaning three-that Ivelearned in my journey so far.
今天我想和大家分享我人生的三个经验。
The three lessons that have hadthe greatest impact on my life have todo with feelings， with failure and withfinding happiness.
这三个经验对我的人生产生了很大影响，它们是关于感觉、失败和追求幸福的。
A year after I left college， I was giventhe opportunity to co-anchor the 6 oclocknews in Baltimore.
在我离开大学一年后，在巴尔的摩市我得到了一个共同主持6点新闻的机会。
And sometimes I wouldnt readthe copy-because I wanted to bespontaneous-and Id come across a list ofwords I didnt know and Id mispronounce. And one day I was reading copy and Icalled Canada “ca nada”. And I decided， thisBarbara things not going too well. I shouldtry being myself.
有时出于不想照本宣科，我不会去播报一些新闻。我还会遇到一些不认识的词，甚至还会念错词。一天当我播新闻时，我把“加拿大”读错了。我想这样下去学芭芭拉可不大好。我应该做回我自己。
And after eight months， I lost thatjob. But since they didnt want to payout the contract， they put me ona talk show in Baltimore. Andthe moment I sat down on thatshow， the moment I did， I feltlike Id come home. I realizedthat TV could be more than justa playground， but a platform forservice， for helping other peoplelift their lives. And the momentI sat down， doing that talk show，it felt like breathing. It felt right.And thats where everything thatfollowed for me began.
8 个 月 后 我 失 去 了 那 份 工作。因为他们不想违背合约，他们就让我去巴尔的摩主持一档脱口秀节目。从我开始主持那档节目的一刻开始，我感觉好像回到了家一样。我意识到电视不应该仅仅是一个娱乐场，更应该是一个以服务为目的的平台，以帮助他人更好地生活。当我开始主持节目的时候，就像呼吸一样。感觉好极了。这就是我工作真正的开始。
And I got that lesson. Whenyoure doing the work youremeant to do， it feels right andevery day is a bonus， regardless ofwhat youre getting paid.
这就是我学到的经验。当你做的是一份你喜欢的工作时，那感觉棒极了。无论你能挣到多少钱，你每天都会有很大收获。
