苹果CEO乔布斯的人生故事

话还要从我出生之前说起。我的生母是一个年轻的未婚大学毕业生，她决定把我送去别人家收养，并坚持认为，收养我的人必须是大学毕业生。在我出生前，所有关于收养我的事宜都已经安排妥当了。我本该被一个律师和他的妻子收养，但等到我真正出生了，他和他的妻子却在最后时刻决定他们真正想要的是个女孩。所以，我现在的养父母（他们当时在等候名单上）在半夜接到一通电话，“我们有一个意外出生的男孩，你们想收养他吗？”他们回答说，“当然想。”但后来，我的生母发现了我的养母不是大学毕业生，而我的养父甚至连高中都没有毕业，于是她拒绝在最终的收养文件上签字。几个月后，她才最后妥协了，因为我的养父母保证以后会送我去上大学。

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.
