99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Thank you

2
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I am happy to share with you all the graduates of the best universities in the world.

3
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Honestly, I never graduated from college.

4
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I can't get any closer to graduation.

5
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Today I want to share with you three stories from my life. That's it. Just three stories.

6
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
The first is about "connecting the dots".

7
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I dropped out of Reed College just six months later.

8
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
But it was a year and a half until he left.

9
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Why did you leave?

10
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
It all started before I was born.

11
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
My mother decided to give birth and adopt me while I was in college.

12
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
She wanted to give her son to a college-educated family.

13
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
It was agreed that I would be adopted by a lawyer shortly after I was born.

14
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
But then they changed their minds and wanted to have a daughter.

15
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Then on the night of my birth I called them from the hospital ...

16
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
"We have a son. Are you still adopted? ” When asked, he replied, "Of course."

17
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
My birth mother did not graduate from college ...

18
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I found out that my father hadn't even finished high school.

19
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And even though I didn't want to raise my son, after a few months it softened ...

20
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I promised them that I would go to college.

21
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
That's how my life began.

22
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
17 years later I went to college.

23
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
But choose a college that is as expensive as Stanford ...

24
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
He was paid with all the money his parents had collected.

25
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Then, six months later, I dropped out of college.

26
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I didn't know what to do or who I was, and I felt like I was wasting my time in college.

27
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
In addition, they study with all the money their parents raise.

28
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
So I made the big decision to drop out of college.

29
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Of course, it was scary at the time. But in hindsight, that was the right decision.

30
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
At first, I was bored and dropped out of classes.

31
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
began to study more interesting subjects.

32
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Of course, not everything was easy.

33
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I slept on the floor of my friends' dorm room ...

34
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I used to order a bottle of cola for 5 cents to earn money for food.

35
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Hare Krishna also walked 11 km every Sunday to eat for free at the temple.
3: 13.53

36
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I'm not sorry.

37
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Everything I entrusted to my passion and conscience paid off later.

38
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Let me give you an example.

39
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Calligraphy training at Reed College was the best at the time.

40
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
The entire campus was filled with stunning, perfectly calligraphic boards, announcements, and letters.

41
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I dropped out and dropped out of high school, so I decided to study calligraphy.

42
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Then learn how to combine cuts, stamps, stamps, and letter spacing ...

43
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
penetrated the deep secrets of typography and learned a lot.

44
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
An exciting and wonderful art with a pure feeling, history and culture.

45
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
But it was doubtful whether this would be useful in my future life.

46
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
But 10 years later, when designing the first Macintosh computer

47
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
The calligrapher gave me the benefit.

48
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
The Mac is the first computer with a unique and amazing design.

49
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
If I hadn't dropped out of college ...

50
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
The font, stamp, and typography of the Mac would be completely different.

51
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
If you recently copied Windows and Mac, other computers would not have such fonts.

52
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
If I hadn't dropped out and taken a calligraphy class ...

53
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
personal computers would be created without great typography.

54
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Of course, at the time, I didn't know that calligraphy would be so useful in my later life.

55
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
But looking back 10 years later, everything is clear.

56
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
No one can predict what will happen in the future.

57
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
You can only connect the dots by looking back.

58
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
So it's important to believe in something that connects those points.

59
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
It doesn't matter what you call courage, aspiration, destiny, life, karma.

60
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
The belief that the dots connect will give you the courage to follow your heart.

61
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
It is important not to forget this, even in times of doubt, frustration, and hardship.

62
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
My second story is about love and separation.

63
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I'm lucky to have found my passion early.

64
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
When I was 20, I started Apple with Voz in my garage.

65
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
We worked hard. And 10 years later, Apple has 4,000 employees ...

66
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
expanded into a $ 2 billion company.

67
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
But I was fired just a year after the Macintosh was created and introduced.

68
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I was 30 at the time.

69
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Why get fired from the company you started?

70
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Apple has expanded, and we've recruited talented guys who can improve the company.

71
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
In the beginning, everything was going well.

72
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
But then we disagreed and chose a different path ...

73
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
The board of directors stood by him.

74
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
At age 30, I was fired. With great fanfare.

75
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Of course, it was very difficult for me to lose so many years of hard work and passion.

76
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
At first I didn't really know what to do.

77
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
It was as if he had lost the trust of the people and lost the relay race stick.

78
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
He then met David Packard and Bob Noyce and apologized for their failure.

79
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I wondered if it would stop after a severe fall.

80
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
But my enthusiasm and passion for my work never waned.

81
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
The scandal surrounding Apple hasn't changed me at all.

82
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I was not discouraged, even though I was rejected and abandoned.

83
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
So I decided to start again.
7:06 p.m.
Unbeknownst to him at the time, he was fired from Apple.

84
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
changed my life for the better.

85
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
The heavy burden of success was suddenly replaced by the light and vague pioneering.

86
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
That's how I opened the door to the most creative and exciting time of my life.

87
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
For the next 5 years, I founded NeXT and Pixar ...

88
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I fell in love with a wonderful girl who later became my wife.

89
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Pixar created the first computer-generated full-length movie, Toy Story ...

90
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
has now expanded into the world's best animation studio.
7: 40.95
A few years later, I returned to Apple with the purchase of Apple and NeXT.
7: 46.37
And the technology we developed at NeXT became the lifeblood of Apple's renaissance.
7: 50.75
I have a wonderful family with Lauren.
7: 55.13
Of course, my life would not have been this way without Apple.
7: 59.35
Even though the medicine is bitter to take, it is like you are healed as a result.
8: 03.47
Life can sometimes hit you hard to the knees. But don't lose faith!
8: 09.33
I think I've come this far because I love what I'm doing. Find your passion!
8: 15.25
Imagine comparing your work to those closest to you.
8: 19.02
People spend most of their lives working.
8: 21.83
Satisfaction is the key to job satisfaction.
8: 26.05
And then success will come naturally to you.
8: 30.34
If you haven't found it yet, don't stop. Hi !.
8: 34.72
But your heart will tell you that you have found it.
8: 38.47
As the years go by, your passion will grow stronger.
8: 42.96
So don't stop until you get there. Keep searching.
8: 56.24
My last story is about death.
9: 00.32
When I was 17, I read a quote.
9: 03.77
"If you think every day is the last day of your life, one day you will find that day."
9: 11.83
This quote made a strong impression on me.
9: 13.76
And for the last 33 years, I've been asking myself this every morning.
9: 19.29
"If today was the last day of my life, would I do what I'm going to do today?"
9: 25.43
And if you say no for a few days in a row, it's time to change something.
9: 31.72
Before making any important life decision ....
9: 35.10
I always think I'll face it someday.
9:39 p.m.
Because everything - pride, hope, anxiety, fear, worry
9: 47.30
When you face death, it doesn't matter to you.
9: 51.53
Remembering that you will die someday frees you from the fear of making mistakes and the fear of failure.
9: 59.19
We will return naked. So what's wrong with following your heart?
10: 04.77
More than a year ago, I was diagnosed with cancer.
10: 09.10
After the test, the doctors showed me a picture of cancer in my pancreas.
10: 14.40
I didn't even know where the pancreas was.
10: 17.24
The doctor told me that there was no chance of treating this type of cancer.
10: 22.26
And he said, "You only have three to six months left."
10: 26.71
They told me, "Go home and put things in order."
10: 31.11
In other words, prepare for death.
10: 34.84
Tell your children now what you thought you would tell them in 10 or 20 years.
10: 42.77
It means reassuring your family, relatives, and friends and preparing them to say goodbye.
10: 52.18
Of course it was very difficult.
10: 54.64
I had a biopsy that day.
10: 57.55
The doctors inserted an endoscope into my throat and passed it through my stomach and internal organs
11: 02.23
then a few cells were removed from the cancer with a crochet hook.
11: 06.02
I was given a sedative. My wife was with me then.
11: 10.15
My cells can be treated under a microscope
11: 14.35
The doctors knew it was a very rare species.
11: 17.55
They shed tears of joy
11: 20.00
The operation was successful and I'm fine now.
11: 31.75
This is the closest thing to death.
11: 34.55
I hope it will not be this close in the next few years.
11: 37.81
But now, death is a little clearer to me than it was before
11: 42.69
can say one thing with confidence.
11: 46.35
No one wants to die.
11: 49.06
Even those who want to go to heaven are afraid of death.
11: 52.74
But no one can escape it. Everyone will face death one day.
11: 59.14
That should be the case. Because Death is an integral part of life.
12: 05.74
The driving force behind the world. Get rid of the old and invite the new.
12: 10.27
Right now, you represent a new life.
12: 13.38
But you will grow old over time, and one day you will die like everyone else.
12: 19.20
It's not a lyrical overflow. That is the only truth.
12: 23.27
Your time is limited.
12: 25.15
Don't live by the instructions of others.
12: 28.70
Do not be bound by dogma or the opinions, views, or teachings of others.
12: 33.89
Do not confuse your inner voice with the judgment and thoughts of others.
12: 38.16
Most importantly, have the courage to follow your instincts, feelings, and desires.
12: 42.56
Only then will you truly know who you want to be.
12: 46.50
The rest is not so important.
13: 00.43
When I was a kid, there was a wonderful magazine called Whole Earth Catalog.
13: 06.24
The author of this book, which has become almost biblical for my generation
13: 10.08
I really admired Stuart Brand's elegant and silky feel.
13: 16.73
This is the late 60's.
13: 18.36
There were no computers or desktop publications at that time, so I typed ...
13: 23.00
which means hand-cut and created with a Polaroid camera.
13: 25.50
It was Google on paper 35 years before Google was born.
13: 30.52
It was an idealistic, perfect and wonderful work.
13: 35.89
Stewart and his friends published several issues of the Whole Earth Catalog
13: 40.01
The last issue was soon published.
13: 44.23
The mid-1970s. I was your age.
13: 49.43
I vividly remember the cover of the last edition.
13: 52.89
Infinite steppe road.
13: 55.11
A place to really travel if you like adventure.
13: 59.71
Image caption: "Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish."
14: 04.49
This is their last piece of advice. “Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish ”
14: 10.68
I put that word into practice in my life.
14: 14.30
But I am passing it on to all of you who are now entering life.
14: 19.63
"Don't be satisfied! Don't grow up!"
14: 21.98
Thank you so much
14: 27.63
"Inspira
