乔布斯的辞职信
中文版本:
致苹果董事会董事及苹果团体:
我一直说,如果有一天我无法继续担任苹果CEO,尽应尽之责,满足应满足之期待,我会第一时间告诉大家。不幸,这一天终于到来。
因此,我辞去苹果CEO职位。如果董事会觉得合适,我会作为董事长、董事或苹果员工继续服务。
至于继续人,我强烈建议执行继承计划,任命蒂姆·库克为苹果CEO。
我相信苹果未来会更有创新力、更为光明。我期待看到成功继续,并将以新角色贡献一己之力。
在苹果生涯中,我交了一些好朋友,使我有幸与你们共事多年,感谢大家。

Letter from Steve Jobs
To the Apple Board of Directors and the Apple Community:
I have always said if there ever came a day when I could no longer meet my duties and expectations as Apple’s CEO, I would be the first to let you know. Unfortunately, that day has come.
I hereby resign as CEO of Apple. I would like to serve, if the Board sees fit, as Chairman of the Board, director and Apple employee.
As far as my successor goes, I strongly recommend that we execute our succession plan and name Tim Cook as CEO of Apple.
I believe Apple’s brightest and most innovative days are ahead of it. And I look forward to watching and contributing to its success in a new role.
I have made some of the best friends of my life at Apple, and I thank you all for the many years of being able to work alongside you.
Steve
