    　　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．We had just released our finest creation－the Macintosh－a year earlier，and I had just turned 30．And then I got fired．

    　　How can you get fired from a company you started?Well, as Apple grew we hired someone who I thought was very talented to run the company with me, and for the first year or so things went well．But then our visions of the future began to diverge and eventually we had a falling out．When we did, our Board of Directors sided with him．So at 30 I was out．

    　　I really didn't know what to do for a few months．I felt I was a very public failure, and I even thought about running away from the valley．But something slowly began to dawn on me－I still loved what I did．The turn of events at Apple had not changed that one bit．I had been rejected, but I was still in love．And so I decided to start over．

    　　I didn't see it then, but it turned out that getting fired from Apple was the best thing that could have ever happened to me．It freed me to enter one of the most creative periods of my life．During the next five years, I started a company named NeXT, another company named Pixar, and fell in love with an amazing woman who would become my wife．Pixar went on to create the world's first computer animated feature film, Toy Story, and is now the most successful animation studio in the world．In a remarkable turn of events, Apple bought NeXT, I returned to 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 from Apple．It was awful tasting medicine, but I guess the patient needed it．Sometimes life hits you on 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．You've got to find what you love．And that is as true for your work as it is for your lovers．
