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 and I returned to Apple,...

　　...and the technology we developed at NeXT is at the heart of Apple's current renaissance.

　　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 is gonna hit you in 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 work as it is for your lovers.

　　Your work is gonna 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 and 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. Don't settle.
