Today, we’ll review our sales performance for the last quarter. James: Sure. I noticed that our online sales increased significantly in July. Emma: Yes, the sales rose by 20% compared to the previous month. James: That’s great. But I also saw that offline store sales declined slightly. Emma: Exactly. They dropped by 5%, mainly due to fewer walk-in customers. James: Do we know why online sales grew so much? Emma: One reason is our new campaign on social media, which went viral. James: Interesting. So while one channel went up, the other went down. Emma: Correct. It shows how important digital marketing is now. James: Should we increase our budget for online ads? Emma: Yes, the board has already decided to raise the budget next quarter. James: Sounds like a smart move. If sales continue to grow, we’ll hit our annual target. Emma: Exactly. Let’s prepare a detailed report for the next meeting. 中文 Emma：大家早安，今天我們要檢視上個季度的銷售表現。 James：好的。我注意到我們的線上銷售在七月大幅增加。 Emma：是的，銷售額上升了20%，相比上個月。 James：太好了。但我也看到實體店的銷售略有下降。 Emma：沒錯，下降了5%，主要原因是上門客戶減少。 James：知道為什麼線上銷售成長那麼多嗎？ Emma：其中一個原因是我們新的社群媒體行銷活動爆紅。 James：有趣，也就是說一個管道上升，另一個下降。 Emma：正確，這顯示數位行銷現在的重要性。 James：那我們是否應該增加線上廣告的預算？ Emma：是的，董事會已經決定下季度要提高預算。 James：聽起來是明智的決定。如果銷售持續成長，我們將達成年目標。 Emma：沒錯，我們來準備一份詳細報告，下次會議再討論。 -- Hosting provided by SoundOn

Truth be told, I never graduated from college and this is the closest I’ve ever gotten to a college graduation. 我感到非常榮幸，今天能在你們的畢業典禮上與你們同在。 你們可是來自世界上最頂尖的大學之一！ 說實話，其實我從來沒有從大學畢業過， 而今天這是我距離大學畢業最近的一次。 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. 今天我想跟大家分享三個我人生中的故事。 就只是這樣。沒什麼大不了的，就三個故事。 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. 我在里德學院讀了六個月後輟學， 但之後又以旁聽的身份 待了大約十八個月，然後才真正離開。 那為什麼我會輟學呢？ 這得追溯到我出生之前。 我的親生母是一位年輕的未婚研究生， 她決定讓我被領養。 她非常堅持要讓我被一對大學畢業的夫妻領養， 於是所有的安排都已經就緒， 準備讓我出生後被一位律師和他的妻子領養。 但在我出生的那一刻，他們突然改變主意， 說他們其實更想要一個女兒。 於是，我的養父母當時在等待領養名單上， 半夜接到了一通電話，對方問： 「我們有個突如其來的男嬰，你們願意領養嗎？」 他們回答：「當然願意。」 但我的生母後來發現， 我的養母其實從未大學畢業， 而我的養父甚至連高中都沒畢業。 因此她拒絕簽署最終的領養文件。 直到幾個月後，她才勉強同意， 前提是我的養父母必須承諾讓我將來進大學。 This was the start in my life. And seventeen years later, I did go to college, but I naïvely 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. 這就是我人生的起點。 17年後，我真的進了大學。然而，我天真地選了一所 學費幾乎和史丹佛一樣昂貴的學校， 而我的工人階級父母的 所有積蓄都被用來支付我的學費。 六個月後，我開始覺得這樣沒有價值。 我完全不知道我人生做什麼， 也不知道大學能如何幫助我找到答案。 而我卻花光了我父母一輩子的積蓄。 所以我決定輟學，並相信一切都會好起來。 當時這個決定非常可怕， 但回頭看，這是我做過最棒的決定之一。 當我輟學的那一刻，我就可以停止 上那些我不感興趣的必修課， 並開始旁聽那些看起來很有趣的課程。 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. 但並不是一切都很美好的。我沒有宿舍可以住， 所以我睡在朋友房間的地板上， 我回收可樂瓶來換五美分押金買食物， 而且每週日晚上我都會步行七英哩穿越城市， 去哈瑞奎師神廟享用這一週裡的一頓好飯。 我超愛它的！ 而且，許多我憑著好奇心和直覺 而接觸到的事物，後來都變得無價。 讓我舉一個例子： 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 sans-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. 里德學院當時 提供可能是全美最棒的文字藝術課程。 整個校園裡的每一張海報、每個抽屜上的標籤， 都是用手美麗的刻畫出來。 因為我輟學了，不需要上那些一般課程， 所以我決定上一堂文字藝術課來學習這些技巧。 我學到了襯線字體和無襯線字體， 以及如何調整不同字母組合之間的間距， 還學會了什麼讓排版變得如此優雅。 這是一門美麗而富有歷史意義的藝術， 它的微妙之處是科學無法描述的， 而它讓我非常著迷。 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. 當時，這一切對我的生活完全沒有任何實際應用的希望。 但十年後， 當我們設計第一台麥金塔電腦時， 這些知識全都回到了我的腦海中。我們把它們全部設計進了 Mac。 這是第一台擁有漂亮排版的電腦。 如果我從未旁聽那堂課(文字藝術)， Mac 就不可能擁有多種 字體和比例均稱的字型。 而且由於 Windows 複製了 Mac， 或許沒有個人電腦會有它們。 If I had never dropped out, I would have never dropped in on that calligraphy class and personal computers might not have the wonderful typography that they do. 如果我沒有輟學， 我就不可能旁聽那堂文字藝術課程， 個人電腦也可能不會有現在這些精美的排版設計。 Of course it was impossible to connect the dots looking forward when I was in college, but it was very, very clear looking backwards 10 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--because believing that the dots will connect down the road 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. 當然，在我上大學時，把這些點連結起來是不可能的。 但十年後回頭看，一切都變得非常非常清楚。 再次強調，往前看時你無法把點連起來； 你只能在回顧時將它們連接起來。 所以，你必須相信這些點最終會在未來連結在一起。 你必須相信某些東西，比如直覺、命運、人生、因果， 或其他什麼。 因為相信點將在未來的路上連接起來 會讓你有信心追隨內心， 即使它帶你離開了平坦的道路 而那將造就所有的不同。 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 twenty. 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 thirty, 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, and so at thirty, 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’d been rejected but I was still in love. And so I decided to start over. 我的第二個故事是關於愛與失去。 我很幸運，在年輕時就發現了自己熱愛的事。 我和沃茲在我父母的車庫裡創立了蘋果，那時我只有20歲。 我們努力工作，十年內蘋果從我們兩人在車庫裡創立， 成長為一家擁有超過4000名員工、市值20億美元的公司。 我們剛剛推出了最出色的作品"麥金塔電腦"， 而我才剛滿30歲。 然後我被解僱了。 怎麼可能被自己創立的公司解僱？ 隨著蘋果的成長，我們聘請了一位我認為非常有才能的人來 與我共同經營公司， 最初的一年一切都很順利。 但之後，我們對未來的願景開始出現分歧 最終關係破裂。 當我們爭吵時，董事會站在了他那邊。 於是，在30歲時，我被迫離開公司，而且是公開被解僱。 我成年人生的全部重心就這樣沒了， 那種感覺非常毀滅性。 接下來幾個月，我完全不知道該做什麼。 我覺得自己辜負了上一代企業家的期望， 就像我在接力賽中，弄掉了接力棒。 我拜訪了戴維·帕卡德(HP創辦人) 和鮑勃·諾伊斯 (Intel創辦人) 試著向他們道歉，說自己搞砸了。 我成了一個公開的失敗者， 甚至想過要逃離矽谷。 但漸漸地，我開始意識到我仍然熱愛我所做的事情。 蘋果的這些變故絲毫未改變我的熱愛。 我被拒絕了，但我仍然深深地熱愛。 於是，我決定重新開始。 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 in 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. 當時我並沒有意識到，但後來發現， 被蘋果解僱是我人生中發生過的最好的事。 因成功所帶來的重擔 被重當新手的輕盈感所取代， 所有事都變得不那麼確定。 這讓我進入了人生中最具創造力的時期之一。 接下來的五年，我創立了一家公司叫 NeXT， 又創立了另一家公司叫 Pixar (皮克斯動畫) ， 還遇見了一位了不起的女人，她後來成了我的妻子。 Pixar 創作了世界上第一部電腦動畫電影 《玩具總動員》 並成為了世界上最成功的動畫公司。 In a remarkable turn of events, Apple bought NeXT and I returned to Apple and the technology we developed at NeXT is at the heart of Apple’s current renaissance, and Lorene and I have a wonderful family together. 在一次不可思議的轉折中，蘋果收購了 NeXT， 我回到了蘋果， 而我們在 NeXT 開發的技術成為了蘋果現在復興的核心。 我和 Laurene 一起擁有了一個美好的家庭。 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’s going to hit 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 work as it is for your lovers. Your work
