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. Believing that will give you the confidence to follow your heart, even when it leads you off the well-worn path, and that will make all the difference.
況且，你在向前展望的時(shí)候不可能將這些點(diǎn)串連起來(lái)；你只能在回顧過(guò)去的時(shí)候?qū)⒁粋€(gè)一個(gè)的點(diǎn)串連起來(lái)，所以你必須相信這些點(diǎn)會(huì)在你未來(lái)的某一天連接起來(lái)。相信這一點(diǎn)將會(huì)給你以信心去追隨自己內(nèi)心的感受，就算是偏離常道也不會(huì)彷徨，那會(huì)讓一切變得完全不同。
My second story is about love and loss.
我的第二個(gè)故事是關(guān)于愛(ài)和失去。
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 ten years, Apple had grown from just the two of us in a garage into a $2 billion company with over 4,000 employees. We'd just released our finest creation, the Macintosh, a year earlier, and I'd 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 to run the company with me, but 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, and so at 30, I was out. What had been the focus of my entire adult life was gone, and it was devastating. 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. And so I decided to start over.
我非常幸運(yùn)——因?yàn)槲以诤茉绲臅r(shí)候就找到了我所熱愛(ài)的東西。我二十歲，和沃茲在父母的車(chē)庫(kù)里面開(kāi)創(chuàng)了蘋(píng)果公司。我們工作很努力，十年的時(shí)間里蘋(píng)果由車(chē)庫(kù)里的兩個(gè)人發(fā)展到擁有四千多名員工、價(jià)值超過(guò)二十億的大公司。前一年我們剛剛推出了最好的產(chǎn)品，Macintosh,我也剛滿(mǎn)三十，這時(shí)我被炒了魷魚(yú)。你怎么可能被自己創(chuàng)立的公司炒了魷魚(yú)呢？嗯，在蘋(píng)果快速成長(zhǎng)的時(shí)候，我們雇用了一個(gè)人和我一起管理公司，我們對(duì)未來(lái)的看法發(fā)生了分歧，最終吵了起來(lái)。我們吵架時(shí)，董事會(huì)站在了他那邊。所以在三十歲的時(shí)候，我出局了。我全部成年生活的焦點(diǎn)離自己遠(yuǎn)去，這真是毀滅性的打擊。但我漸漸明白，我仍然喜愛(ài)我從事的這些東西。蘋(píng)果公司發(fā)生的這些事情絲毫沒(méi)有改變這些。所以我決定從頭再來(lái)。
