'You've got to find what you love,' Jobs says
http://news-service.stanford.edu/news/2005/june15/jobs-061505.html
This is the text of the Commencement address by Steve Jobs, CEO of Apple Computer and of Pixar Animation
Studios, delivered on June 12, 2005. 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. 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? 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 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 dropped out and didn't have to take the normal classes, I decided to take a calligraphy class to learn how to do this. I learned about serif and san serif typefaces, about varying the amount of space between different letter combinations, about what makes great typography great. It was beautiful, historical, artistically subtle in a way that science can't capture, and I found it fascinating.
None of this had even a hope of any practical application in my life. But ten years later, when we were designing the first Macintosh computer, it all came back to me. And we designed it all into the Mac. It was the first computer with beautiful typography. If I had never dropped in on that single course in college, the Mac would have never had multiple typefaces or proportionally spaced fonts. And since Windows just copied the Mac, it’s likely that no personal computer would have them. If I had never dropped out, I would have never dropped in on this calligraphy class, and personal computers might not have the wonderful typography that they do. Of course it was impossible to connect the dots looking forward when I was in college. But it was very, very clear looking backwards ten years later. Again, you can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something - your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life. My second story is about love and loss. 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 worlds 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 retuned 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. My third story is about death. When I was 17, I read a quote that went something like:
"If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you'll most certainly be right." It made an impression on me, and since then, for the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning 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 change something. Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything – all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart. About a year ago I was diagnosed with cancer. I had a scan at 7:30 in the morning, and it clearly showed a tumor on my pancreas. I didn't even know what a pancreas was. The doctors told me this was almost certainly a type of cancer that is incurable, and that I should expect to live no longer than three to six months. My doctor advised me to go home and get my affairs in order, which is doctor's code for prepare to die.

小時候 一直期待長大
因為可以抽煙喝酒 賭博 交女友 開車狂飆

一個人住 與朋友瞎混到天亮 和任性的亂花錢

在兩個月我就正式的成為35歲的熟男了
再也不能用實歲虛歲的花招來調整自己希望的年紀

我 就是35歲了

一九七六年的冬天,當時我十九歲,在休士頓太空總署的大空梭實驗室裡工作,同時也在總署旁邊的休士頓大學主修電腦。縱然忙於學校、睡眠與工作之間,這幾乎佔據了我一天二十四小時的全部時間,但只要有多餘的一分鐘,我總是會把所有的精力放在我的音樂創作上。

我知道寫歌詞不是我的專長,所以在這段日子裡,我處處尋找一位善寫歌詞的搭檔,與我一起合作創作。我認識了一位朋友,她的名字叫凡內芮(Valerie Johnson)。
自從二十多年前離開德州後,就再也沒聽過她的消息,但是她卻在我事業的起步時,給了我最大的鼓勵。
僅十九歲的凡內芮在德州的詩詞比賽中,不知得過多少獎牌。她的寫作總是讓我愛不釋手,當時我們的確合寫了許多很好的作品,一直到今天,我仍然認為這些作品充滿了特色與創意。

一個星期六的週末,凡內芮又熱情地邀請我至她家的牧場烤肉。她的家族是德州有名的石油大亨,擁有龐大的牧場。她的家庭踓然極為富有,但她的穿著、所開的車,與她謙卑誠懇待人的態度,更讓我加倍地打從心底佩服她。

凡內芮知道我對音樂的執著。然而,面對那遙遠的音樂界及整個美國陌生的唱片市場,我們一點管道都沒有。此時,我們兩個人坐在德州的鄉下,我們哪知道下一步該加何走。突然間,她冒出了一句話:Visualize What you are doing in 5 years?﹙想像你五年後在做什麼?﹚

第一個故事,是關於人生中的點點滴滴怎麼串連在一起。

我在里德學院(Reed

做到最好就是冠軍── 蘇國垚、劉 萍 著

一個飯店只會有一個總經理,難道就代表只有我一個人是成功的嗎?不盡然。我認為,只要在工作崗位上做到最好,就是冠軍!中國人常常說:「三百六十行,行行出狀元。」但我比較喜歡說:「位位出冠軍。」

每當我有機會對員工上課或演講時,都會問他們一個問題:「我們公司的狀元是誰?」大家都會回答:「是你蘇總啊!」的確,在他們眼中,我三十六歲就當上亞都飯店總經理,所以是公司的狀元。但一個飯店只會有一個總經理,難道就代表只有我一個人是成功的嗎?不盡然。我認為,只要在工作崗位上做到最好,就是冠軍!

門衛冠軍!

如果,我是最好的總經理,而從訂席組同仁、行李員、客房人員、會計、廚師到工程人員都是最好的,那麼整個亞都飯店有多少位冠軍?答案是,三二○位。在亞都飯店除了嚴長壽總裁外,還有一個人非常有名,他也是我最喜歡舉的例子,那就是門衛(doorman)老吳。他有多厲害呢?

林一銘四十八歲抱一億六千萬退休
─ 匯豐中華投信董事長甩掉「金手銬」,走自
  己的路
文●傅瑋瓊
匯豐中華投信董事長、四十八歲的林一銘急流勇退,以其握有股數計算,林一銘可抱著一億六千萬元快樂退休;他現在終於可以隨時陪在父母身邊,走自己一直想走的路。
「退休後,我最想做的是,帶我的父親到木柵動物園、帶他到陽明山泡溫泉。」四十八歲,正值人生壯年的匯豐中華投信董事長林一銘,十月十七日,在匯豐銀行購併中華投信一年後突然宣布退休。
認識林一銘超過十六年的群益投信董事長陳欽源,指出林一銘急流勇退是:「兩全其美的事(指退休又有豐厚的股票出售所得)。」陳欽源坦言,基金業是個加速折舊的行業,在這個行業十幾年了,「現在都是五、六年級生出頭,我們這些四年級生早就要退下來了。」
匯豐集團購併中華投信除了股價創下國內投信業的天價八十三.四元,而且給員工的福利優厚(例如,做滿一年多給四個月薪水……),匯豐銀行行政總裁周文耀(將兼任匯豐中華投信董事長)形容,這種福利是一個「金手銬」。雖然合約誘人,但林一銘仍選擇掙脫金手銬。
退休後的林一銘的身價到底有多少?根據統計,林一銘持有中華投信二千零九張的股票,匯豐銀行以每股八十三.四元價位收購,全部出售可以拿到超過一億六千萬元,雖然三年的「合約」還沒滿,股價被打了折扣,但在中華投信十六年的資歷也拿到不少退休金,整體來看,「我並沒有吃虧」林一銘說。
林一銘今年八月就提出退休申請,兩度被董事會駁回,現在終於說服成功。但他為什麼要在事業顛峰狀態,堅持退休?
