史蒂夫•乔布斯的故事本文是苹果计算机公司和皮克斯动画工作室的首席执行官史蒂夫•乔布斯于2005年6月12日在斯坦福大学毕业典礼上的演讲稿。1今天，我很荣幸能来到这所世界顶尖大学参加你们的毕业典礼。我大学没有毕业。说实话，现在是我最接近大学毕业的时刻。我在里德学院读了6个月就退学了，但是作为旁听生又在那里待了18个月左右，然后才真正离开学校。那么我为什么要退学呢？

这要从我还没有出生的时候说起。我的生母是个年轻未婚的研究生，因此她决定把我送给别人收养。她觉得我必须由有大学学历的人收养。于是，她安排好了一切，只要我一出生，就把我交给一位律师和他的妻子收养。但是我出生之后，他们在最后一刻决定他们还是想要一个女孩。
