I was lucky. I found what I loved to do early in life. Waz 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 4,000 employees. We just released our finest creation创造, the Macintosh, a year earlier, and I 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天才的 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(道路等)分叉, and eventually终于 we had a falling out. When we did, our board of directors sided with him. And so at 30, I was out, and very publicly公然地 out. What had been the focus焦点 of my entire adult life was gone, and it was devastating破坏性的. I really didn't know what to do for a few months. I felt that I had let the previous先的 generation of entrepreneurs down, that I had dropped the baton as it was being passed to me.
