We worked hard, and in 10 years Apple had _36_ from just the two of us in a _37_ into a $2 billion company with over 4000 employees. We had just _38_ our finest creation - the Macintosh -

29、iverge (分歧) and _42_ we had a falling out. When we did, our Board of Directors _43_with him. So at 30 I was out.

31、in love. And so I decided to start over. I didnt see it then, but it _48_ that getting fired from Apple was the best thing that could have ever happened to me.

32、 most creative periods of my life. Im pretty sure _ _52_ of this would have happened if I hadnt been fired from Apple. It was _53_ tasting medicine, but I guess the patient needed it. Dont lose _54_. Im convinced that the only thing that kept me going was that I loved what I did. If you havent found
33、 it yet, keep looking. Dont _55_. As with all matters of the heart, youll know when you find it. And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on.
