Ondrej Holzman UMona Simpson ungumbhali kanye noprofesa wesiNgisi eNyuvesi yaseCalifornia. Wethula le nkulumo ngomfowabo, uSteve Jobs, ngo-Okthoba 16 enkonzweni yesikhumbuzo esontweni laseStanford University.
Ngikhule ngiwukuphela kwengane enomama ongayedwana. Sasimpofu, futhi njengoba ngangazi ukuthi ubaba wayethuthe eSyria, ngangimbona ngeso lengqondo engu-Omar Sharif. Nganginethemba lokuthi wayecebile futhi enomusa, ukuthi wayezongena ezimpilweni zethu futhi asisize. Ngemva kokuhlangana nobaba, ngazama ukukholelwa ukuthi washintsha inombolo yakhe yocingo futhi akazange ashiye ikheli ngoba wayengumshisekeli wezinguquko owayesiza ekudaleni izwe elisha lama-Arab.
Nakuba ngingumuntu wesifazane, bengilokhu ngilinde ukuphila kwami konke owesilisa engingamthanda futhi ongangithanda. Iminyaka eminingi ngangicabanga ukuthi angase abe ubaba wami. Lapho ngineminyaka engamashumi amabili nanhlanu ngahlangana nendoda enjalo - yayingumfowethu.
Ngaleso sikhathi, ngangihlala eNew York, lapho ngangizama khona ukubhala inoveli yami yokuqala. Ngasebenza kumagazini omncane, ngahlala ehhovisi elincane nabanye abathathu abafuna umsebenzi. Lapho ummeli engibiza ngolunye usuku—mina, intombazane yaseCalifornia esezingeni eliphakathi ngincenga umphathi wami ukuba akhokhele umshuwalense wezempilo—futhi ethi unekhasimende elidumile nelicebile okwaba umfowethu, abahleli abasha baba nomona. Ummeli wenqaba ukungitshela igama lomfowethu, ngakho ozakwethu baqala ukuqagela. Igama elithi John Travolta lalikhulunywa kaningi. Kodwa ngangithemba umuntu ofana noHenry James—umuntu onekhono kunami, umuntu onesiphiwo ngokwemvelo.
Ngesikhathi ngihlangana no-Steve wayeyindoda ebukeka e-Arab noma engumJuda egqoke i-jeans mayelana neminyaka yami. Wayemuhle kuno-Omar Sharif. Sahamba uhambo olude, esasiluthanda kakhulu sobabili. Angisakhumbuli kakhulu ukuthi sathini ngosuku lokuqala. Ngikhumbula nje ukuthi nganginomuzwa wokuthi uyena engangingamkhetha njengomngane. Wangitshela ukuthi wayesebenzisa amakhompyutha. Ngangingazi okuningi ngamakhompyutha, ngangisabhala ngomshini wokubhala owenziwe ngesandla. Ngatshela uSteve ukuthi ngangicabanga ukuthenga ikhompuyutha yami yokuqala. USteve wangitshela ukuthi kwakuyinto enhle ukuthi ngilinde. Kuthiwa usebenzela into enkulu ngendlela exakile.
Ngingathanda ukwabelana nawe ngezinto ezimbalwa engizifunde kuSteve phakathi neminyaka engu-27 ngimazi. Cishe yizinkathi ezintathu, izinkathi ezintathu zokuphila. Impilo yakhe yonke. Ukugula kwakhe. Ukufa kwakhe.
USteve wasebenza kulokho ayekuthanda. Wasebenza kanzima ngempela, nsuku zonke. Kuzwakala kulula, kodwa kuyiqiniso. Akazange abe namahloni ngokusebenza kanzima kangaka, ngisho nalapho engenzi kahle. Lapho umuntu ohlakaniphe njengoSteve wayengenawo amahloni okuvuma ukwehluleka, mhlawumbe kwakungadingeki nami ngikwenze lokho.
Ngesikhathi exoshwa ku-Apple, kwakubuhlungu kakhulu. Wangitshela ngesidlo sakusihlwa nomongameli wakusasa lapho abaholi beSilicon Valley abangu-500 ababemenywe khona futhi angamenywanga kuso. Kwaba buhlungu kuye, kodwa wayesazosebenza kwa-Next. Waqhubeka nokusebenza nsuku zonke.
Inani elikhulu kuSteve kwakungelona emisha, kodwa ubuhle. Kumuntu osungula izinto ezintsha, uSteve wayethembeke kakhulu. Uma ethanda isikibha esisodwa, waye-oda i-10 noma i-100. Kwakukhona ama-turtleneneck amnyama amaningi endlini e-Palo Alto kangangokuthi ayezokwanela wonke umuntu ebandleni. Ubengenantshisekelo kumathrendi noma izikhombisi-ndlela zamanje. Wayebathanda abantu abangontanga yakhe.
Ifilosofi yakhe yobuhle ingikhumbuza esinye sezitatimende zakhe, ezihambe kanje: “Imfashini iyona ebukeka iyinhle manje kodwa kamuva ibe mubi; ubuciko bungase bube bubi ekuqaleni, kodwa kamuva buba bubuhle. "
USteve wayehlale ebheke kokugcina. Wayengenandaba nokuqondwa kabi.
Kwa-NeXT, lapho yena nethimba lakhe babethuthukisa buthule inkundla lapho u-Tim Berners-Lee ayengabhala khona isofthiwe ye-World Wide Web, wayeshayela imoto yezemidlalo efanayo emnyama ngaso sonke isikhathi. Wayithenga okwesithathu noma okwesine.
USteve wayehlale ekhuluma ngothando, okwakuyinto ebalulekile kuye. Wayebalulekile kuye. Wayenesithakazelo futhi ekhathazekile ngezimpilo zothando zalabo ayesebenza nabo. Lapho nje ehlangana nendoda ayecabanga ukuthi ngingayithanda, wayevele abuze: "Awushadile? Ufuna ukuya esidlweni sakusihlwa nodadewethu?"
Ngikhumbula eshayela ucingo ngosuku ahlangana ngalo noLauren. "Ukhona umfazi omangalisayo, uhlakaniphe kakhulu, unenja enjalo, ngiyomshada ngelinye ilanga."
Lapho uMhlanga ezalwa, waba nozwela nakakhulu. Wayekhona ebantwaneni bakhe ngamunye. Wayekhathalela isoka likaLisa, mayelana nohambo luka-Erin nobude beziketi zakhe, ngokuphepha kuka-Eva ezungeze amahhashi ayewathanda kakhulu. Akekho noyedwa wethu obehambele umcimbi wokuthweswa kweziqu koMhlanga ozoke awukhohlwe umdanso wakhe ohamba kancane.
Uthando lwakhe ngoLauren aluzange luphele. Wayekholelwa ukuthi uthando lwenzeka yonke indawo futhi ngaso sonke isikhathi. Okubaluleke kakhulu, uSteve akakaze abe yindida, engabaza noma engenathemba. Lokhu ngisazama ukukufunda kuyena.
USteve waphumelela esemncane futhi waba nomuzwa wokuthi kumhlukanisa naye. Izinqumo eziningi azenza ngesikhathi ngimazi wayezama ukubhidliza lezo zindonga ezimzungezile. Idolobhana elivela e-Los Altos lithandana nowesifazane waseNew Jersey. Imfundo yezingane zabo yayibalulekile kubo bobabili, babefuna ukukhulisa uLisa, uReed, u-Erin no-Eva njengabantwana abavamile. Indlu yabo yayingagcwele ubuciko noma i-tinsel. Eminyakeni yokuqala, babevame ukuba nezidlo ezilula kuphela. Olunye uhlobo lwemifino. Kwakukhona imifino eminingi, kodwa uhlobo olulodwa kuphela. Njenge-broccoli.
Ngisho njengosozigidi, uSteve wayengilanda esikhumulweni sezindiza njalo. Wayemi lapha egqoke ibhulukwe lakhe.
Lapho ilungu lomndeni limbiza emsebenzini, unobhala wakhe uLinneta wayephendula: “Ubaba wakho usemhlanganweni. Ngimphazamise?”
Bake banquma ukulilungisa kabusha ikhishi. Kwathatha iminyaka. Babepheka esitofini setafula egaraji. Ngisho nesakhiwo sasePixar, esakhiwa ngesikhathi esifanayo, saqedwa ngesigamu sesikhathi. Yayinjalo indlu ePalo Alto. Izindlu zokugezela zahlala zindala. Noma kunjalo, uSteve wayazi ukuthi kwakuyindlu enhle ukuqala ngayo.
Nokho, lokhu akusho ukuthi akazange ayijabulele impumelelo. Wakujabulela, kakhulu. Wangitshela ukuthi wayekuthanda kanjani ukuza esitolo samabhayisikili e-Palo Alto futhi ngenjabulo ebona ukuthi angakwazi ukuthenga ibhayisikili elingcono kakhulu lapho. Wenza kanjalo.
USteve wayethobekile, ehlale elangazelela ukufunda. Wake wangitshela ukuthi ukube wayekhule ngendlela ehlukile, wayengase abe isazi sezibalo. Wakhuluma ngenhlonipho ngamanyuvesi, ukuthi wayekuthanda kanjani ukuhambahamba ekhempasini yaseStanford.
Ngonyaka wokugcina wokuphila kwakhe, wafunda incwadi yemidwebo kaMark Rothko, umdwebi ayengamazi ngaphambili, futhi wacabanga ngalokho okungakhuthaza abantu ezindongeni zesikhathi esizayo zekhampasi entsha ka-Apple.
USteve wayenesithakazelo kakhulu. Iyiphi enye i-CEO eyayazi umlando wezimbali zetiye zesiNgisi nesiShayina futhi yayinezimbali ezithandwayo zikaDavid Austin?
Wayelokhu efihle izimanga emaphaketheni akhe. Ngingalokotha ngithi uLaurene usathola lezi zimanga - izingoma ayezithanda nezinkondlo azinqamula - ngisho nangemva kweminyaka engu-20 yomshado osondelene kakhulu. Enezingane zakhe ezine, umkakhe, sonke, uSteve saba nokuzijabulisa okuningi. Wayeyazisa injabulo.
USteve wabe esegula futhi sabuka impilo yakhe incipha iba yindilinga encane. Wayethanda ukuhambahamba eParis. Wayethanda ukushushuluza. Washwibeka eqhweni. Konke kuhambile. Ngisho nezinjabulo ezivamile njengepentshisi elihle zazingasamthandi. Kodwa okwangimangaza kakhulu ngesikhathi egula ukuthi kwakusele malini ngemva kokuba elahlekelwe yimalini.
Ngikhumbula umfowethu efunda ukuhamba futhi, nesihlalo. Ngemva kokufakelwa isibindi, wasukuma ngemilenze engakwazi nokumsekela wabamba isihlalo ngezandla zakhe. Ngaleso sihlalo wehla ngephaseji lesibhedlela saseMemphis waya egumbini labahlengikazi, wahlala, waphumula isikhashana, wabuyela emuva. Wabala izinyathelo zakhe futhi wathatha kakhudlwana usuku ngalunye.
ULaurene wamkhuthaza: "Ungakwenza, Steve."
Phakathi nalesi sikhathi esinzima, ngabona ukuthi wayengazizwisi lobu buhlungu. Wayenemigomo ebekiwe: ukuthweswa iziqu kwendodana yakhe uReed, uhambo luka-Erin oluya eKyoto, nokulethwa komkhumbi ayesebenza kuwo futhi wayehlele ukuhamba ngomkhumbi emhlabeni wonke nomndeni wakhe, lapho ayenethemba lokuchitha khona impilo yakhe yonke noLaurene. usuku olulodwa.
Naphezu kokugula kwakhe, walondoloza ukunambitheka nokwahlulela kwakhe. Wadlula kubahlengikazi abangama-67 waze wathola abangane bakhe bomphefumulo futhi abathathu bahlala naye kwaze kwaba sekupheleni: uTracy, u-Arturo no-Elham.
Ngesinye isikhathi, lapho uSteve enesifo esibi senyumoniya, udokotela wamenqabela yonke into, ngisho neqhwa. Ubelele egunjini labagula kakhulu. Nakuba ayengajwayele ukukwenza lokhu, uvumile ukuthi angathanda ukunikezwa ukwelashwa okukhethekile kulokhu. Ngamtshela ukuthi: "Steve, lokhu kuyisipho esikhethekile." Asondele kimina athi: "Ngingathanda ukuthi ikhetheke kancane."
Lapho engakwazi ukukhuluma, wacela incwadi yakhe. Wayeklama isibambi se-iPad embhedeni wasesibhedlela. Waklama imishini emisha yokuqapha kanye nemishini ye-x-ray. Wapenda kabusha igumbi lakhe lasesibhedlela, angalithandi kakhulu. Futhi njalo lapho umkakhe engena ekamelweni, wayenokumamatheka ebusweni bakhe. Ubhale izinto ezinkulu ngempela kuphedi. Wayefuna singalaleli odokotela futhi simnike okungenani ucezu lweqhwa.
Lapho uSteve esengcono, wazama, ngisho nangonyaka wakhe wokugcina, ukufeza zonke izithembiso namaphrojekthi e-Apple. Emuva eNetherlands, izisebenzi zazilungiselela ukubeka ukhuni phezu komkhumbi omuhle wensimbi futhi ziqedele ukwakha umkhumbi wakhe. Amadodakazi akhe amathathu ahlala engashadile, naye efisa sengathi angawaholela phansi njengoba ake angihola. Sonke sigcina ngokushona phakathi kwendaba. Phakathi kwezindaba eziningi.
Ngicabanga ukuthi akulungile ukubiza ukufa komuntu osephile nomdlavuza iminyaka eminingana ngokungalindelekile, kodwa ukufa kukaSteve bekungalindelekile kithi. Ngafunda ngokufa komfowethu ukuthi into ebaluleke kakhulu isimilo: ufe njengoba ayenjalo.
Wangishayela ucingo ngoLwesibili ekuseni, wayefuna ngifike ePalo Alto ngokushesha ngangokunokwenzeka. Izwi lakhe lalizwakala linomusa futhi limnandi, kodwa futhi sengathi wayesezipakishile izikhwama zakhe futhi wayeselungele ukuhamba, nakuba ayezisola kakhulu ngokusishiya.
Wathi eseqala ukuvalelisa ngammisa. "Yima, ngiyahamba. Ngihlezi etekisini elibangise esikhumulweni sezindiza," Ngithe. "Ngiyakutshela manje ngoba ngesaba ukuthi ngeke uphumelele kusenesikhathi" waphendula.
Lapho ngifika, wayezincokolela nomkakhe. Wabe esebuka izingane zakhe emehlweni wahluleka ukuziklebhula. Kwaze kwashaya ihora lesibili ntambama umkakhe wakwazi ukukhuluma noSteve ukuze akhulume nabangane bakhe base-Apple. Kwabe sekucaca ukuthi ngeke ahlale nathi isikhathi eside.
Umoya wakhe washintsha. Wayesebenza kanzima futhi enamabomu. Ngaba nomuzwa wokuthi wayebala izinyathelo zakhe futhi, ukuthi wayezama ukuhamba kakhulu kunakuqala. Ngacabanga ukuthi naye usebenza kulokhu. Ukufa akuzange kuhlangane noSteve, wakufeza.
Lapho evalelisa, wangitshela indlela ayezisola ngayo ngokuthi sasingeke sikwazi ukuguga ndawonye ngendlela esasihlele ngayo, kodwa wayezoya endaweni engcono.
UDkt. Fischer wamnika ithuba elingamaphesenti angamashumi amahlanu okusinda ebusuku. Wamphatha. U-Laurene wachitha ubusuku bonke eduze kwakhe, evuka noma nini lapho ephefumula. Sabukana sobabili, wavele wadonsa umoya futhi waphefumulela phezulu.
Ngisho nangalesi sikhathi, walondoloza ukungathí sina kwakhe, ubuntu bothando kanye ne-absolutist. Ukuphefumula kwakhe kwakusikisela uhambo olunzima, uhambo lokuya endaweni engcwele. Kwakungathi wayegibela.
Kodwa ngaphandle kwentando yakhe, ukuzibophezela kwakhe emsebenzini, okwakumangaza ngaye ukuthi wayekwazi kanjani ukujabula ngezinto, njengeciko elithemba umbono walo. Lokho kwahlala isikhathi eside kuSteve
Ngaphambi kokuba ahambe unomphela, wabuka udadewabo uPatty, wabe esebuka izingane zakhe isikhathi eside, wabe esebuka umngane wakhe wokuphila, uLauren, wabe esebuka buqamama.
Amazwi okugcina kaSteve athi:
OH WOW. OH WOW. OH WOW.

Hhayi-ke kubuhlungu kodwa ngaphinda ngafunda kancane ngoSteve ukuthi wayenjani, wayethandani, wayethanda ukwenzani, nakuba ngangingamazi ngokwami, ngiyamhlonipha, uma nje ngoba le "story" wangikhumbuza isimo esenzeka emndenini wethu manje.
Ngakho-ke lawo mandla...

Ama-Pathos. Sicela uhumushe okuthile nge-apula. Ngidinga ukwazi ukuthi ibhethri lihlala kanjani kuma-4s.
Ngiyabonga kakhulu ngokuhumusha, ngazama ukuyifunda ngesiNgisi, kodwa angizange ngicabange okuningi ngakho, ngakho ngacabanga: "bazoyihumusha nakanjani esitolo se-apula" futhi bakwenza.
