My story is about love and loss. I was lucky. 【小题1】. 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. I got fired from a company I started.【小题2】.

But something slowly began to dawn on me--I still love what I did. The turn of events at Apple had not changed that. 【小题3】During the next five years, I started a company named NeXT and fell in love with an amazing woman who would become my life. In a remarkable turn of events, Apple bought NeXT. And I returned Apple. 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 form Apple. It was awful-tasting medicine, but I guess the patient needed it. Sometimes life hits you in the head with a brick.【小题4】I’m convinced that the only thing that kept me going was that I loved what I did.

【小题5】Your work is going to fill 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 until you find it. Don’t settle.
