探索这位传奇人物最具启发性的名言,了解他对生活、工作和创新的独特见解。

关于创新与创造力

"创新决定领导者与跟随者。"

"Innovation distinguishes between a leader and a follower."

— 苹果广告语,1997年

"创造力就是把事物联系起来。当你问有创造力的人他们是如何做某事的,他们会感到有点内疚,因为他们并没有真正去做,他们只是看到了一些东西。"

"Creativity is just connecting things. When you ask creative people how they did something, they feel a little guilty because they didn't really do it, they just saw something."

— 《连线》杂志采访,1996年

"设计不仅仅是外观和感觉,设计是产品如何工作。"

"Design is not just what it looks like and feels like. Design is how it works."

— 《财富》杂志采访,2000年

"很多时候,人们不知道他们想要什么,直到你把它展示给他们。"

"A lot of times, people don't know what they want until you show it to them."

— 《商业周刊》采访,1998年

"简单比复杂更难,你必须努力让你的思维变得清晰,以使其变得简单。但最终这是值得的,因为一旦你到达那里,你就可以移山。"

"Simple can be harder than complex. You have to work hard to get your thinking clean to make it simple. But it's worth it in the end because once you get there, you can move mountains."

— 《商业周刊》采访,1998年

关于生活与死亡

"你的时间有限,所以不要浪费时间为别人而活。不要被教条所限,那也就是活在别人的观念里。不要让别人的意见左右自己内心的声音。最重要的是,勇敢的去追随自己的心灵和直觉,只有自己的心灵和直觉才知道你自己的真实想法,其他,一切都是次要。"

"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."

— 斯坦福大学毕业演讲,2005年

"记得自己就快要死了的这件事,是我所遇过能帮助我作下人生重大决定的最好工具。因为几乎所有的事情——所有外界的期望、所有的荣耀、所有对难堪的恐惧——在死亡面前,都会消逝。"

"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."

— 斯坦福大学毕业演讲,2005年

"想要做出一番伟大事业的唯一道路,就是要爱你所做。如果你还没有找到,那么持续地寻找吧!不要停滞下来。跟随你自己的心,当你找到的那一刻,你会知道的。"

"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."

— 斯坦福大学毕业演讲,2005年

"每天早上,我都会对着镜子问自己:'如果今天是我生命的最后一天,我还会做我今天要做的事情吗?'当答案连续很多天都是'不'的时候,我知道我需要改变一些事情。"

"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."

— 斯坦福大学毕业演讲,2005年

关于工作与成功

"专注和简单一直是我的座右铭。简单有时比复杂更难:你必须努力让你的思维变得清晰,以使其变得简单。但最终这是值得的,因为一旦你到达那里,你就可以移山。"

"Focus and simplicity. Simple can be harder than complex: You have to work hard to get your thinking clean to make it simple. But it's worth it in the end because once you get there, you can move mountains."

— 《商业周刊》采访,1998年

— 《滚石》杂志采访,1994年

"设计不仅仅是外观和感觉。设计是产品如何工作。"

"It's in Apple's DNA that technology alone is not enough — it's technology married with liberal arts, married with the humanities, that yields us the results that make our heart sing."

— iPad 2发布会,2011年

"我认为伟大的艺术和伟大的工程是一回事。这是一种表达的方式。"

"I think the artistry is in having an insight into what one sees around them. Generally putting things together in a way no one else has before and finding a way to express that to other people who don't have that insight."

— 《乔布斯传》,2011年

"创新与领导力之间有什么区别?创新者问:'我们能做什么新的事情?'领导者问:'我们能做什么更好的事情?'"

"Innovation distinguishes between a leader and a follower. The people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do."

— 《财富》杂志采访,1998年

"我们雇佣人是为了让他们告诉我们该做什么,而不是我们告诉他们该做什么。"

"We hire people who want to make the best things in the world. You'd be surprised how hard people work around here. They work nights and weekends, sometimes not seeing their families for a while."

— 《乔布斯传》,2011年

关于失败与坚持

"有时候生活会用砖头拍你的头。不要失去信念。我确信唯一使我坚持下去的,就是我热爱我所做的事情。"

"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."

— 斯坦福大学毕业演讲,2005年

"我对被解雇这件事感到难过,但很快我意识到这是我所经历过的最好的事情。成功的沉重感被重新开始的轻松感所取代,一切都变得不那么确定,这让我自由地进入人生中最有创造力的一段时期。"

"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."

— 斯坦福大学毕业演讲,2005年
