演讲稿是作为在特定的情境中供口语表达使用的文稿。在我们平凡的日常里，需要使用演讲稿的事情愈发增多，你知道演讲稿怎样才能写的好吗？这次为您整理了乔布斯演讲稿【优秀3篇】，希望能够帮助到大家。
我非常幸运，因为我在很早的时候就找到了我钟爱的东西。woz和我在二十岁的时候就在父母的车库里面开创了苹果公司。我们工作得很努力，十年之后，这个公司从那两个车库中的穷小子发展到了超过四千名的雇员、价值超过二十亿的大公司。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。我也快要到三十岁了。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？嗯，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，公司运转的很好。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。当争吵到不可开交的时候，董事会站在了他的那一边。所以在三十岁的时候，我被炒了。在这么多人目光下我被炒了。在而立之年，我生命的全部支柱离自己远去，这真是毁灭性的打击。
在最初的几个月里，我真是不知道该做些什么。我觉得我很令上一代的创业家们很失望，我把他们交给我的接力棒弄丢了。我和创办惠普的david pack、创办intel的bob noyce见面，并试图向他们道歉。我把事情弄得糟糕透顶了。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的没有改变这些，一点也没有。我被驱逐了，但是我仍然钟爱我所做的事情。所以我决定从头再来。
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，作为一个成功者的负重感被作为一个创业者的轻松感觉所重新代替，没有比这更确定的事情了。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。
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。乔布斯在ipad发布会上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的今天的复兴之中发挥了关键的作用。而且，我还和laurence一起建立了一个幸福完美的家庭。
我可以非常肯定，如果我不被apple开除的话，这些事情一件也不会发生的。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。不要失去信仰。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。你需要去找到你所爱的东西。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，只要全心全意的去找，在你找到的时候，你的心会告诉你的。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！
'You've got to find what you love,' Jobs saysThis is the text of the Commencement address by Steve Jobs, CEO of Apple Computer and of Pixar Animation Studios, delivered on June 12, 20xx.
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, its 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 returned 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. It means to try to tell your kids everything you thought you'd have the next 10 years to tell them in just a few months. It means to make sure everything is buttoned up so that it will be as easy as possible for your family. It means to say your goodbyes.
I lived with that diagnosis all day. Later that evening I had a biopsy, where they stuck an endoscope down my throat, through my stomach and into my intestines, put a needle into my pancreas and got a few cells from the tumor. I was sedated, but my wife, who was there, told me that when they viewed the cells under a microscope the doctors started crying because it turned out to be a very rare form of pancreatic cancer that is curable with surgery. I had the surgery and I'm fine now.
This was the closest I've been to facing death, and I hope its the closest I get for a few more decades. Having lived through it, I can now say this to you with a bit more certainty than when death was a useful but purely intellectual concept:
No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don't want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life's change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new. Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic, but it is quite true.
Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.
When I was young, there was an amazing publication called The Whole Earth Catalog, which was one of the bibles of my generation. It was created by a fellow named Stewart Brand not far from here in Menlo Park, and he brought it to life with his poetic touch. This was in the late 1960's, before personal computers and desktop publishing, so it was all made with typewriters, scissors, and polaroid cameras. It was sort of like Google in paperback form, 35 years before Google came along: it was idealistic, and overflowing with neat tools and great notions.
Stewart and his team put out several issues of The Whole Earth Catalog, and then when it had run its course, they put out a final issue. It was the mid-1970s, and I was your age. On the back cover of their final issue was a photograph of an early morning country road, the kind you might find yourself hitchhiking on if you were so adventurous. Beneath it were the words: "Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish." It was their farewell message as they signed off. Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish. And I have always wished that for myself. And now, as you graduate to begin anew, I wish that for you.
Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish.
Thank you all very much.
只上6个月大学就退学为什么还能成功？被自己创办的公司开除为什么没被击垮？经历死去活来之后对人生又会有何改变？我荣幸地在世界上最好的大学的毕业典礼上讲话，但是我从来没大学毕业。
我只上了6个月的学就休学了。
说实话，只有这次才是我几十年来离大学毕业最接近的一次。
今天，我只说三个故事，不谈大道理。
人生成功，在于“系统整合”。
人生的成就是善于把点点滴滴的事情串联起来思考。
我为什么不等大学毕业？要从头说起。
17岁时，我上大学了。
但是我无知地选了一所学费几乎跟斯坦福一样贵的大学。
六个月后，我看不出念这个书有多大价值，也不知道念这个大学能对我有什么帮助。
而且我为了念这个书，最后会花光父母这辈子的所有积蓄。
所以我决定休学，相信船到桥头自然直。
当时这个决定看来相当荒唐，可是现在看来，那是我这辈子做过的最好的决定。
我的肄业生活一点也不浪漫。
我完全靠着捡可乐瓶子过活。
每个星期天晚上就得走七里的路绕过大半个镇去印度教的神庙吃顿好饭。
但我不断地追寻我的好奇与直觉，去关心外界的事物，后来这些都成了无价之宝。
举例来说，当时里德学院有着全美国最好的书法大师，在整个校园内的每一张海报上，以至每个抽屉的标签都是大师们美丽的手写字。
因为我休学了，没有什么课程能上，于是我就跑去学书法。
书法的美感、历史感与艺术感是科学所无法捕捉的，我觉得它很迷人。
我没预期过学的这些东西能在我生活中起些什么实际作用。
不过十年后，当我在设计第一台麦金托什电脑时，我想起了当时所学的东西，所以把这些东西都设计进了麦金托什电脑里，这是第一台能印刷出漂亮文字的计算机。
如果我没沉溺于课本里，麦金托什电脑可能就不会有多重字体跟变间距字体了。
我可以断言，我一直在大学里，就不可能把这些点点滴滴的灵感串起来。
但是这在十年后的今天，就显得非常现实。
我再说一次，在学校里不可能预先把点点滴滴学到的东西串在一起。
惟有未来再回顾时，你才会明白那些点点滴滴是如何串在一起的。
所以你得相信，你现在所体悟到的一点一滴的东西，将来会连接在一块。
你得信任这些零零碎碎的东西，直觉也好，命运也好，生命也好。
总之，是它让我的人生不同于别人。
反败为胜，在于执着去爱
我有好运能在年轻时就发现自己爱做什么事。
我20岁时，跟SteveWozniak在我爸妈的车库里开始了苹果计算机的事业。
我们拼命工作，苹果计算机在十年间从一间车库里的两个小伙子扩展成了一家员工超过4000人、市价20亿美金的公司。
在那之前一年推出了我们最棒的作品：麦金托什电脑，而我才刚迈入人生的第30个年头。
但不幸的是，我被炒了鱿鱼。
自己创办的公司怎么会炒自己鱿鱼？
事情是这样的。
当苹果计算机成长之后，我请了一个我以为在经营公司上很有才干的家伙来，他在头几年也确实干得不错。
可是因为我们对未来的愿景和追求不同，很不幸，最后只好分道扬镳。
但董事会站在他那边，公开炒了我鱿鱼。
就这样，曾经是我整个成年生活重心的东西一夜就不见了，令我一时愕然，走投无路。
随后几个月，我实在不知道要干什么好。
我成为了公众面前一个非常负面的示范。
我甚至想要离开硅谷。
但是渐渐的，我发现：我还是喜爱着我做过的工作，苹果事件的经历丝毫没有改变我热爱的事业。
我被人家否定了，但是我一直爱着的事业没有否定我，所以我决定一切从头开始。
怎么也想不到，当时我认为最倒霉的事情——被苹果计算机开除，现在看来是我所经历过最好的，也是最幸运的事情。
失落的沉重心情被从头做起的轻松感所取代，一切对我都不是约束，让我自由进入这一辈子最有创意的年代。
接下来五年，我开了一家叫做NeXT的公司，又开了一家叫做Pixar的公司，我跟它们谈起了“恋爱”。
Pixar接着制作了世界上第一部全计算机动画电影：《玩具总动员》，现在已是世界上最成功的动画制作公司。
然后，它们阴差阳错地让苹果计算机买下了，我又回到了苹果。
我们在NeXT发展的技术居然成了苹果计算机后来复兴的核心。
在事业如日中天之时，我也有了个美妙的家庭。
我敢肯定，如果当年苹果计算机没开除我，就不会发生这些事情。
这付药虽然很苦，可是它成为苹果计算机这个“病人”起死回生的神药。
有时候，人生会遇到别人用砖头打你的头，但你不要丧失信心。
我确信，只要爱我所做的事情，未来就会是美好的。
这些年来就是它让我继续走下去。
关键在于你能找出你爱的事业。
工作将填满你的大半人生。
惟一获得真正满足的方法，就是做你相信是伟大的工作，而惟一做伟大工作的方法，是爱你所做的工作。
如果你还没找到这些事，继续找，别停顿。
尽你全心全力，你知道你一定会找到。
死而无憾，在于以我为主
我的第三个故事，关于死亡。
当我17岁时，我读到一则格言，终生不忘。
这句名言是：“把每一天都当成生命中的最后一天，你就会轻松自在。
这句话影响了我一辈子。
在过去33年里，我每天早上都会照镜子，自问：“如果今天是此生最后一日，我今天要干些什么？”每当我连续多天都是一个“没事做”的答案时，我就知道我必须下决心变革了。
提醒自己快死了，是我在人生中下重大决定时，所用过最重要的“工具”。
在面对死亡时，几乎每一件事，包括所有期望、所有名誉、所有困窘或失败的恐惧，都一下子消失了，只有最重要的东西才会留下。
提醒自己快死了，是我所知避免掉入“自己有东西要失去”这一陷阱最好的方法。
人生不带来，死不带去，没什么道理不去做顺心而为的事。
一年前，我被诊断出癌症。
我作断层扫描时，在胰脏清晰出现一个肿瘤。
在这之前，我连胰脏是什么都不知道。
医生告诉我：那几乎可以确定是一种不治之症，我大概活不到三到六个月了。
医生建议我回家，好好跟亲人们聚一聚。
这是医生对临终病人的标准建议。
这话表示，让我在这几个月内把我几十年想要讲的话都讲完。
同时，也表示让把每件要做的重要事情安排妥当，让家人尽量轻松些。
总之，我要跟家人说再见了！
那天晚上，我做了一次切片，从喉咙伸入一个内视镜，从胃进肠子，插了根针进胰脏，取了一些肿瘤细胞出来。
他们给我打了麻醉剂，不醒人事，但是我妻子在场。
她后来跟我说：当医生们用显微镜看过那些细胞后，大夫和护士都哭了！因为那是非常少见的一种可以用手术治好的胰脏癌！我接受了手术，康复了。
这是我最接近死亡的一次经历，希望这是最后一次。
经历此事之后，我感觉比以前对死亡的抽象理解深刻多了。
我现在告诉你们我对死亡的认识：
没有人想死。
即使那些想上天堂的人，也想活着上天堂。
但是死亡是每个人最终的结局，没有人逃得过。
这是注定的结果，因为死亡是人生最棒的发明，是生命转化的媒介。
你们虽然年轻，但时间很有限，所以不要浪费时间活在别人的生活里。
被信条所惑或是盲从信条是难免的，但你要清醒地知道，这就是活在别人的思考结果里。
要记住，不要让别人的意见淹没了你内在的心声。
最重要的，一个有成就的人，要有拥有跟随内心与直觉的勇气，它多少已经知道你真正想要成为什么样的人。
任何其它事物都是次要的。
