10 Powerful Quotes From The Steve Jobs Movie And What They Teach Us About Leadership

电影《乔布斯》中十句经典名言给我们的启迪

The script for Jobs, the new movie starring Ashton Kutcher as the visionary Apple co-founder, is heavy with quotes that reflect Jobs‟ business philosophy and approach to life. I‟ve interviewed the director, Joshua Michael Stern, and I

recognize most of Kutcher‟s lines in the movie as being either direct quotes from Steve Jobs or compilations of his quotes. Here is my vote for the ten best quotes from the movie and what they can teach us about leadership, creativity, communications, and success.

在新片《乔布斯》中，由阿什顿·库彻（Ashton Kutcher）主演苹果公司富有远见的联合创始人史蒂夫·乔布斯。这部影片的剧本大量引用了乔布斯生前讲过的话，反映了乔布斯的经营理念以及生活态度。我采访了这部影片的导演约书亚·迈克尔·斯坦恩（Joshua Michael Stern），我认识到，库彻在这部影片中的绝大部分台词要么是直接引用了乔布斯曾经讲过的原话，要么是对乔氏名言的汇编。以下是我从这部影片中选出的十句最佳乔氏名言，这些名言能够为我们带来领导力、创造力、沟通和成功方面的启迪。

1. I‟m not dismissing the value of higher education; I‟m simply saying it comes at the expense of experience.

1. 我并不是贬低高等教育的价值，我只是说，其代价是偏废了经验。

According to Jobs film directorJoshua Michael Stern, Steve Jobs felt that life experiences were critical to being creative. Stern included pivotal scenes in the movie showing a young Steve Jobs taking a college calligraphy course and visiting India with his friend, Daniel Kottke. “Absorbing culture, art, and history were extremely important to Jobs. He believed in taking life experiences and using it as a subtext for something else you‟re doing, like helping to form the product you‟re creating, ” said Stern. This is one of the most powerful success principles we can learn from Steve Jobs: a broad set of life experiences is essential for creativity to flourish.

据电影《乔布斯》的导演约书亚·迈克尔·斯坦恩称，乔布斯认为，生活经验对于创造力而言是至关重要的。斯特恩的电影中有几个关键场景，这些场景描绘年轻时代的乔布斯选修一门大学书法课程，以及和他的朋友丹尼尔·科特基（Daniel

Kottke）一起游历印度。斯特恩说：“对于乔布斯而言，培养文化、艺术和历史素养是极为重要的。他相信获取生活经验，并把这些经验当作潜台词运用于你正在从事的其他事情上是很有意义的，比如帮助构建你正在开发的产品。”这是我们可以向乔布斯学习的最有力的成功原则之一：要想让创造力蓬勃发展，涉及面广泛的一系列生活经验必不可少。

2. The greatest artists like Dylan, Picasso and Newton risked failure. And if we want to be great, we‟ve got to risk it too.

2. 像迪伦（Dylan）、毕加索（Picasso）等最伟大的艺术家以及牛顿都曾经冒着失败的风险。如果我们想取得伟大成就，那么我们也必须甘冒风险。

Steve Jobs didn‟t hesitate to take risks. If he wanted something, he would ask, even at a young age. When Jobs was twelve years old he called up HP co-founder Bill Hewlett and asked for spare parts. Hewlett gave Jobs the parts and a summer job. “You‟ve got to be willing to crash and burn. If you‟re afraid of failing, you won‟t get very far, ” Jobs once said. “Most people never pick up the phone and call. Most people never ask, and that‟s what separates the people who do things from the people who just dream about them.” I‟ve rarely interviewed a successful entrepreneur or CEO who hasn‟t risked failure. In fact most successful people don‟t even see „failure;‟ they see a result that didn‟t have the intended outcome. 乔布斯对承担风险毫不犹豫。如果他想要什么东西，他会提出来，即便在年轻时也是如此。乔布斯在12岁的时候，曾打电话给惠普联合创始人比尔·休利特（Bill Hewlett），向休利特要一些零配件。结果休利特不但提供了零配件，还邀请乔布斯夏天去惠普打工。乔布斯曾经说：“你必须甘愿一败涂地。如果你害怕失败，你就不会走得太远。大多数人从不主动拿起电话拨打。大多数人从不主动提出要求，这是将做事情的人和只会梦想着要做事情的人区分开来的不同之处。”在我采访过的成功企业家或者首席执行官（CEO）当中，没有冒过失败风险的人很少。事实上，最成功的人甚至看不到“失败”——他们只是把失败看作一种没有达到预期目标的结果而已。

3. How does somebody know what they want if they haven‟t even seen it?

3. 如果连见都没见过，他们怎么知道自己想要什么呢？

Steve Jobs didn‟t believe in focus groups. Actually, he avoided them like the plague. Jobs believed in building great products that he would want to use

himself. To a large extent he had a point. For example, in 2010 how many of us would have asked for a third device in between a laptop and a smartphone? Most people would never have asked for an iPad, but once millions of consumers saw it, they couldn‟t live without it, and it opened up entirely new categories of business applications. When I spent one year researching a book on the Apple Store, I learned that Jobs revolutionized the retail business because he asked better questions. For example, Jobs did not ask, “How do we build a better store than our competitors?” Instead he asked, “How do we reinvent the store?” Don‟t do things better; do things differently.

乔布斯不相信焦点小组（focus group，市场调研方法，指通过倾听一组从目标市场中选来的被调查者，获取他们对产品、服务等内容的看法或态度——译者

注）。事实上，他像躲避瘟疫般避免焦点小组。乔布斯的信念是开发他自己想要使用的卓越产品。在很大程度上，他的这种想法是有道理的。比如，在2010年，我们当中有多少人会要求制造商开发一款介于笔记本电脑和智能手机之间的第三类设备呢？大多数人从来没有要求制造商开发iPad平板电脑，但是一旦许许多多消费者看到iPad之后，他们的生活就再也无法离开它了，而它开辟了一类全新的商业应用。当我为了撰写一本有关苹果专卖店的书而花费一年的时间进行调查时，我认识到乔布斯彻底改变了零售行业，因为他提出了更好的问题。比如，乔布斯没有问：“我们如何建立一家比我们竞争对手更好的零售店？”相反，他问道：“我们如何彻底改造零售店的模式？”不要只是想着把事情做得更好，而要以与众不同的方式来做事情。

4. Everything around you that you call life was made up by people that were no smarter than you, and you can change it, you can influence it, you can build your own things that other people can use.

4. 你身边被你称为“生活”的一切事物，都是由那些并不比你聪明的人所造就的。而你可以改变生活，影响生活，造就其他人可以使用的你自己的东西。 Ashton Kutcher likes this quote so much he used it in a short speech at a recent award show, explaining that it‟s one of the most profound things he learned while preparing for the role as Steve Jobs. The quote itself is taken from a rare 1995 interview for the Santa Clara Valley Historical Association. The entire clip is available here on YouTube. The rest of the quote is equally as profound: “When you grow up you tend to get told that the world is the way it is and your life is just to live your life and try not to bash into the walls too much…that‟s a very limited life. Life can be much broader once you discover one simple fact—everything around you that you call life was made up by people that were no smarter than you…shake off this erroneous notion that life is there and you‟re just going to live

in it versus make your mark upon it. Once you learn that, you will never be the same again.” Don‟t just live a life; build one.

阿什顿·库彻非常喜欢这句话，甚至在最近的一次颁奖晚会上发言时也引用了这句话，并且解释说，这是他为扮演乔布斯这个角色进行准备的过程中，学到的意义最为深远的道理之一。这句乔氏名言是乔布斯在1995年少有地接受美国圣克拉拉硅谷历史协会（Santa Clara Valley Historical Association）采访时所说。你可以点击此处观看YouTube网站发布的有关那次采访的整段视频。那次采访中的其他乔氏名言同样深刻：“在你长大之后，别人往往会告诉你世界就是这个样子。而你的一生就是过好自己的日子，别老是不自量力地白费力气……这种生活非常狭隘。一个简单的事实是，你身边被你称为‘生活’的一切事物，都是由那些并不比你聪明的人所造就。而你可以改变生活，影响生活，造就其他人可以使用的你自己的东西。一旦你发现了这个事实，生活会变得更为宽广……有人认为，人生有命，你只需按照命运的安排过日子就可以了，不需要留下自己的印记。你必须抛掉这种错误的观念。一旦你认识到这点，你就会改头换面。”别只是过日子，而是要创造生活。

5. I would rather gamble on our vision than make a „me, too‟ product.

5. 我宁愿在我们的愿景上冒险，也不愿制造“跟风”产品。

Steve Jobs believed in dreaming big. In the 1970s personal computers were relegated to the hobbyist market. Jobs had the vision of „putting a computer in the hands of everyday people.‟ He once said that Xerox could have dominated the entire computer industry because Xerox scientists in Palo Alto‟s PARC research facility were developing the first graphical user interface. Jobs said Xerox failed because its “vision” was limited to making another copy machine. Never underestimate the power of a bold vision to move your career and the world forward.

乔布斯认为梦想一定要远大。在1970年代，个人电脑被归类至发烧友市场。乔布斯当时秉持的愿景就是“将电脑带至普遍人手中”。他曾说过，施乐（Xerox）原本可以在整个电脑行业中占据主导地位，因为施乐帕洛阿尔托研究中心（PARC）的科学家们开发了第一个图形用户界面。乔布斯认为，施乐之所以失败，是因为该公司的“愿景”仅限于制造另一款复印机。永远不要低估一个大胆的愿景能够推进你的事业乃至整个世界的力量。

6. We‟ve got to make the small things unforgettable.

6. 我们必须让小事也令人难忘。

The devil‟s in the details and few people were more obsessed with details than Jobs. We‟ve all heard stories of Jobs driving his engineers crazy because he didn‟t like the aesthetic of something inside the computer that nobody would ever see. Everything mattered. I recall visiting a cardboard box manufacturing facility in Modesto, California, to prepare for a keynote speech to industry

executives. This company made boxes for Apple products. One factory manager said out of the thousands of brands they made boxes for, none were more particular than Apple. Steve Jobs demanded that the details of the box, the tactile design, had to be just right. The edges had to look and even feel a certain way. When customers opened an iPhone box, it had to set the tone for the experience. Far too many people and businesses overlook the details and the customer experience with the brand inevitably suffers. Details matter.

关键在于细节，很少有人会比乔布斯更加痴迷于细节。我们都曾听过，他因为不喜欢电脑内部某个没人会看到的部件的美观程度，而逼得工程师们发疯的故事。一切细节都是重要的。我记得自己为了给行业高管准备一场主题演讲，曾经访问过位于加州莫德斯托（Modesto）的一家纸板箱制造厂。该公司负责为苹果产品制造包装用的纸板箱。一位经理说，在他们负责的数千个品牌中，最挑剔的莫过于苹果公司。乔布斯要求产品包装盒的所有细节和触感设计都必须分毫不差。包装盒边缘的外观甚至触感，都必须符合一定的要求。当客户打开iPhone包装盒时，包装盒必须为用户体验定下基调。太多的人、太多的企业忽视各种细节和用户体验，结果他们的品牌不可避免地受到不利影响。细节很重要。

7. Here‟s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The trouble-makers. The

round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently…they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius.

7. 向那些‘疯子’致敬，他们特立独行、桀骜不驯、惹是生非，与周围环境格格不入。他们看待世界的方式与众不同……他们改变事物，推动人类的前进。或许有些人认为他们疯狂，但我们把他们视为天才。

Jobs once said that what made the Macintosh great was the fact that the people he chose to work on the system were “musicians, and poets, and artists, and zoologists, and historians who also happened to be computer scientists.” It‟s a profound insight that speaks to building creative teams. Today it‟s common for

乔布斯十三句发人深省的经典名言

乔布斯十三句发人深省的经典名言

With a life as storied as he had, it's no wonder that Steve Jobs is remembered not only for running an incredibly successful company, but for being tremendously outspoken.

He seemingly had an opinion on everything, and his thoughts often echoed his obsessive commitment to quality at Apple, whether on his approach to mistakes ("Sometimes when you innovate, you make mistakes. It is best to admit them quickly, and get on with improving your other innovations"), or his attention to detail ("Design is not what it looks and feels like. Design is how it works"). But he had plenty to say on deeper matters as well. Here's a roundup of some of his more thought-provoking words, collected from various interviews and speeches.

有关创造力

"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. It seemed obvious to them after a while."

―创造力就是找到事物之间的联系。当你询问有创意的人他们是如何做事时，他们觉得有点内疚，因为他们并没有真的这么做，他们只是看到了其中一些关系。这种感觉在他们过后看来会很明显。

有关死亡

"Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart."

记住，每个人终将会死去，这是我认为能够避免个人患得患失的最好方式，你已经赤裸裸地面对死亡，那就没有什么理由不去追随自己的心。‖

有关卓越

"Be a yardstick of quality. Some people aren't used to an environment where excellence is expected."

―要做一个质量标杆，有些人还不习惯面对一个卓越的环境。‖

有关未来

"You can‘t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something – your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life."

―你无法在展望未来时串联点滴，你只能在回顾过去时将其升华。所以你要相信，这些点滴片段会在未来以某种方式串联起来。你要相信某种东西——直觉也好，命运也好，生命也好，或者因缘甚至是其他一切。这种方法从来没有让我失望，在我的生活中，这种意念造就了我的与众不同。‖

有关坚持

"Your work is going to fill a 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. Don‘t settle. As with all matters of the heart, you‘ll know when you find it. And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking until you find it. Don‘t settle."

―你的工作将占据你生活中的很大一部分，能够让你真正满意的唯一方法就是做你相信是伟大的工作，而唯一伟大的工作就是爱你所做的事。如果你还没有找到它，那么继续找，不要停。用心去找，你会知道何时能够找到它。如同任何伟大的关系一样，它只会在时间的证明之下越来越好，所以继续找，不要停，直到你找到它。‖

有关追求

"Being the richest man in the cemetery doesn‘t matter to me … Going to bed at night saying we‘ve done something wonderful … that‘s what matters to me." ―成为墓地里最有钱的人并不是我最在意的事....。.真正对我有意义的事，就是在晚上睡觉前说上一句‗我已经做了一些非常棒的事‘....。.这才是我最在乎的。‖

有关创新

"I‘m as proud of many of the things we haven‘t done as the things we have done. Innovation is saying no to a thousand things."

―我引以为豪是，许多我们所做的事情变成我们还没有完成的事，创新就是对一千件事情说‗不‘。‖

有关目标

―I think if you do something and it turns out pretty good, then you should go do something else wonderful, not dwell on it for too long. Just figure out what‘s next.‖

―我想如果你做了某些事，结果顺利圆满，那么你应该选择转去做别的事情，别专注在美好的事情上太久，只要保持寻找下一个目标。‖

有关失意

"Getting fired from Apple was the best thing that could have ever happened to me. The heaviness of being successful was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner again. It freed me to enter one of the most creative periods of my life." ―从苹果公司离职曾是我人生中最好的一件事，追求成功的沉重被创业者的轻松感觉所取代，这让我感觉如此自由，我重新进入一个人生中最有创造力的阶段。‖

有关质量

"Quality is more important than quantity. One home run is much better than two doubles."

―质量比数量更重要，就像一个本垒打胜过两个双打。‖

有关改变

"When I was 17, I read a quote that went something like: 'If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you'll most certainly be right.' It made an

impression on me, and since then, 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." ―我曾在 17 岁时读过这么一句名言：‗如果你把每一天当成自己人生的最后一天来过，那么将来某一天你会明白其中的真意‘，这句话令我印象深刻，此后的 33 年来，我每天早上都会对着镜子自问：‗如果今天是我生命的最后一天，我还会想去做我今天要去做的事吗？‘，每当我心里的答案是‗不‘时，我知道自己需要做出改变了。‖

有关毅力

"I'm convinced that about half of what separates successful entrepreneurs from the non-successful ones is pure perseverance."

―我相信一半成功的企业家和另一半不成功的企业家的区别在于纯粹的毅力。‖

有关自省

"I want to put a ding in the universe."

―我希望可以在宇宙中安装一口警钟。‖
