Steve Jobs was famous for starting Apple Computers. In a speech to graduating students at Stanford University, Jobs told students about some of his life-changing experiences. Jobs believed these experiences helped him achieve success.
Jobs’s own mother was a college student. As a young mother, she felt unable to bring Jobs up so she put him up for adoption (领养). Jobs’s adopted parents were simple working-class people. When Jobs was 17, his parents used their savings to send him to college.
After six months of college, Jobs found he couldn’t see the value in it. He had no idea what he wanted to do with his life and no idea about how college was going to help him figure it out. And he was spending all of the money his parents had saved. So he decided to drop out (退学).
Jobs was lucky because he knew what he loved to do. He started Apple Computers in his parents’ garage (车库) with a friend when he was 20. In just ten years, Apple grew into a $2 billion company. However in 1985, Jobs was fired (解雇) from the company. Jobs was surprised. He lost everything at once. He quickly realized that he still loved what he did, and over the next five years, he started two highly successful companies. Later, he worked for Apple again and lived every day as if it was his last.

“What is success?” Mr Gruber asked his 6th grade business class. It was his opening conversation for the first class of the term.
“Success is riding in a sweet car, watching an 80-inch TV, and living in a place with at least twelve rooms.” One student answered, earning laughs from all the students.
Mr Gruber smiled, but shook his head. “Tom, that is excess(过量). That is not success.”
“How about being able to provide for your family?” A blonde girl named Sandy in the front suggested as an answer.
“Now we’re getting closer,” Mr Gruber smiled, “but try thinking about what you need and what you want.”
“Getting everything you want.” Tom shouted out an answer again, trying for more laughs.
Mr Gruber sighed. “ I believe we’ve already talked about excess versus(与…比较) success.” “Getting everything you need, but some of what you want?” James, sitting in the back wondered aloud.
“Quite right!” Mr Gruber clapped. “Success is getting everything you need and some of what you want. The more you get that you want, the more successful you are. You do reach a point where you are living in excess, though.”
“What does this have to do with business?” Tom asked. It seemed if it wasn’t funny, he wasn’t happy.
“Well, Tom, think of it this way: the point of business is to make a living to support your family. Once you have properly seen to (确保) their needs, you can then see to getting the extras that you want.”
“What if I don’t have a family?” he continued to be difficult.
“Then you have to provide for yourself, a family of one.”
“He has goldfish to think about!” Peter, Tom’s friend, shouted out.
“Then he needs to provide for a family of one with a fishbowl.” Mr. Gruber corrected himself.
Tom nodded, satisfied with that answer.
“So in the next nine weeks, we’re going to study basic business situations, like having a checking account and understanding credit cards.”
Tom rubbed his hands together excitedly. “When do we get to start spending?”
“You already are, Tom. You’re spending time with us!” Mr. Gruber laughed. “Now, let’s see what you guys know about credit cards…”
