如果可以, 我不想对你说谎.
因为你是我最不愿意说谎的人之一.
可是我终究还是说了,
不为别的, 只为了Andy和我心中所想的 “大局”.
而你对于我的计谋与谎言,
却是表现得如此的天真与信任.
我期待着你的犹豫, 你的不决, 哪怕只有那么一丝,
因为只有这样, 我才有可能说服你放弃你的想法.
而当你如我所料, 犹豫了片刻, 迟疑了半晌时,
我却心如刀割, 几欲落泪.
原来, 在内心的深处,
我是多么希望你可以像当初一样,
坚持己见, 勇往直前.
因为那个才是我们最初认识的你,
一个为了理想与信念义无反顾的人.
我不知道为什么我们会走到这一步,
为什么我要以一种极不情愿的方式来平缓一切.
我们总会说是为了你好,
可是有时我会想, 我这样做是不是很自私?
一切都是那么的顺理成章,
而一切却又是那么的无奈.
Andy说, 你失魂落魄地回去后,
把收拾好的行李都扔了一地.
我想, 此刻,
安静或许是对你最好的良药.
于是, 我们都会让你好好冷静一下.
此刻我最想说的,
是无数句对不起,
虽然我明白,
你或许永远不会理解我说的 “对不起” 的含义.
甚至你或许永远不会想到,
我会向你说对不起.
不管怎样, 我都深信,
一切都会好起来的.

Apple co-founder Steve Jobs dies
By Joseph Menn in San Francisco
Apple co-founder and former chief executive Steve Jobs, regarded as one of the most important American leaders of his generation, died on Wednesday at the age of 56, after a long struggle with pancreatic cancer.
His death was announced late on Wednesday by Apple’s board, which said: “Steve’s brilliance, passion and energy were the source of countless innovations that enrich and improve all of our lives. The world is immeasurably better because of Steve.”
Thousands of Apple customers and fans of Mr Jobs posted heartfelt appreciations on social networking sites, and tributes poured in from former colleagues and former foes alike.
US president Barack Obama led the tributes. “By building one of the planet’s most successful companies from his garage, he exemplified the spirit of American ingenuity,” Mr Obama said.
The Silicon Valley icon built Apple into America’s biggest company by market capitalisation but resigned as chief executive in August, handing over to current chief executive Tim Cook, his longtime deputy.
Bob Iger, chief executive of Disney, where Mr Jobs was a director and the largest individual investor, said: “Steve was such an original, with a thoroughly creative, imaginative mind that defined an era.”
In an unparalleled career, Mr Jobs did more than anyone else in his lifetime to bring the wonders of personal computing and digital entertainment to ordinary people.
Though his name was on many Apple patents, he borrowed, bought or popularised other ideas closely associated with the company’s rollercoaster fortunes. He eschewed market research and served as a one-man focus group, lieutenants said.
He insisted on total control over Apple hardware and software – not as a designer himself but as a one-man focus group and fan, ordering products he wanted to use.
“He’s someone who had amazing taste and could get great work out of other people”, said biographer Leander Kahney, who edits Cultofmac.com
“The world rarely sees someone who has had the profound impact Steve has had, the effects of which will be felt for many generations to come,” Bill Gates, Microsoft founder, said in a blog post. “For those of us lucky enough to get to work with him, it’s been an insanely great honour. I will miss Steve immensely.”
He learnt business tactics only because he had to. After Mr Jobs lost a power struggle and left Apple in the 1980s, the company floundered until it reached the brink of bankruptcy. His return in 1997 began a corporate comeback that accelerated with the iPod in 2001, the iPhone in 2007, and the iPad, which was introduced last year but already brings in more revenue than the company’s Macs.
After permanently upsetting the balance of power in the music and phone industries, Apple’s tablets are dramatically shaking up the computer industry, where Mr Jobs began. The performance has made millionaires out of many Apple employees and even large ordinary shareholders, who briefly saw the company become the world’s most valuable earlier this year. In stock capitalisation, it is now behind only Exxon-Mobil. |
