可可电台

When Steve Jobs was in his 30s, the very company he created fired him. "I was out—and very publicly out," Jobs says in a 2005 commencement speech at Stanford University. "What had been the focus of my entire adult life was gone, and it was devastating."

史蒂夫·乔布斯30多岁时被自己创建的公司解雇了。“我被炒了,而且非常公开的被炒了。”乔布斯在2005年斯坦福大学毕业典礼的演讲上说,“我整个生活的关注点不见了,这很有毁灭性。”

Jobs spent the summer of 1985 in a "midlife crisis," but during his time away from Apple, Jobs co-founded computer company NeXT, which was later acquired by Apple, and launched Pixar Animation Studios. When Jobs returned to Apple nearly a decade later, he brought the innovation of the iPod, iPhone, and iPad.

乔布斯1985年夏天在“中年危机”中度过,但在他离开苹果的日子里,他联合创立了电脑公司NeXT,它后来被苹果收购,并成立皮克斯动画工作室。当乔布斯近10年后回到苹果时,他带来了iPod,iPhone和iPad的革新。

Famed Vogue editor Anna Wintour was also fired from Harper's Bazaar after nine months for being too edgy. Shortly after leaving Harper's, she became a fashion editor at Viva. "I recommend that you all get fired," Wintour tells fashion students.

著名时尚杂志主编安娜·温图尔也在工作9个月后因过于前卫被时尚芭莎解雇。离开后不久,她成为Viva的时尚编辑。“我希望你们都被解雇过。”温特对时装专业的学生说。
