Summary
According to how to live before you die, Professor Steve presented a speech about three stories in his life. First story, he expressed his teenager hood. He dropped out of school, because he did not have any motivations to study in the school. Most major reason is that his parents wanted a girl not a boy. They tried to adopt a girl and asked the people who wanted this boy. His parents’ behavior gave rise to his thinking about the life. Although his parents wanted he study in college, he did not feel like to do it and it will cost more in college. He only interested in computer and spent all the time on investigation. He told us that believing and confident will fill in the heart. Second story called << Love and Lose>>, he described that he is a love to do person and working hard. He suffered a setback from a large company, which he fired. But he did not give up and kept seeking jobs. Finally he met his wife in the company. This is a remarkable event he will never forgotten it. He strongly believes life will hurt your faith if you settle. People should do what people like to do and love it. Last story called Death, which he was been told that he had cancer by doctor. His lives only remain about six months. He asked himself what he should in last six months, and he struggled he could die as normal people. He is an optimistic person and defeat that what the doctor told him. In fact, he has not dead after several months. He said we should prepare to die. Thus, we could limit time. In conclusion, people should live in their own life and do what loves to do. Any other thins are secondary.

I totally agree with Professor Steve about do what we love to do. I think he is a real man in the world. He suffered pain from family, job and healthy. As a college student, I am facing a same problem as him, which I do not what I am going to do in the future. I do not have any ideas about life. All different things come from society that sacred me to moving forward. Professor Steve has a good point about do what we love to do. We should trust what we believe, and never give up. The truth is that life will hurt people’s faith, but if we love to do and keeping looking, we will achieve what we want. According to my first college life, I have much homework; outside of school I attend other classes. I fell tried every day. Even though I sometimes want give up that I will feel happy. Actually not, I enjoy what I am doing. Indeed, many things I have not tried yet. There are work out, dunk and make girlfriend. As a man, if I do not have this I will depressed by myself. But I do not regret what I have done; I have a perfect management for each single day. I am doing what I could please myself, although I have not prepared to die tomorrow. As people said: life is short, do not leave any regret. Do what you love to do, keeping looking and do not settle.
I agree with Sky and I really like his video. Steve Jobs is an incredible person for me and I really admire him. I think the message that Jobs gives in this lecture is really important. As Sky, I also have many problems and confusions when I think about my future. I think that as a college student that is part of the growing up experience. He mentions that one of the most important things to do, is to do what you want. He also says that it is important to not let your self be intimidated by failure. Jobs tells many of the problems that he had and he mentions how he recovered with time from them. I think this is also a very important think to have always in mind. In my case I don't have anything as tragic as Jobs’s experiences but when I was younger I fail ten grade. after that I felt awful. I fail one year, I felt stupid, I was changed from high school and I loose my friends. it was a really hard situation but looking into my past, it as one of the best things that have ever happen to me. thanks to that failure, I met incredible people, I grow up more as a person, I became more mature and finally thanks to that problem I made one of the best decisions on my life, coming to Canada.

ReplyDeleteI agree with both of you :) Stevie Jobs is incredible person who overcame many failures, but he was able to stand up and continue to reach his goals. I didn’t know these things about him. What I know and I believe in it is that if someone wants to achieve something, he has to believe in that he will make it. Life is not a piece of cake. Obstacles will always come into our ways to make our life not boring. If everything would be perfect, then life would be boring. The reason why obstacles come into our lives is to test our fortitude and make ourselves stronger in this life. Every successful person has its own incredible story of his life. As Steven’s story describes a hardship which he faced during the way to his success. What I have learned from him is that if someone wants to be successful, then people can’t give up when failure cross their ways to the success.

Hello Sky! I read your comment about Steve Jobs’ speech and I was really scared about how you feel. You are too young to be disappointed by life, even if your family or your friends acted like “strangers” to you. Sometimes, people love us even if they don’t show it. Just because we don’t feel their love, doesn’t mean that they don’t love us. I learned the most important thing from my mom: is important that you build your own universe and the best way to do this is to use your brain. You can switch “no” to “yes” and you can overcome many obstacles. Our life is just an accumulation of our experiences. This is why we are wiser at old age, actually we have experience and we can deal with more issues. That is what prof. Steve Jobs said. He was disappointed by his family, by his work and he has some health problems, but he didn’t die, he became stronger and more confident in his own abilities. I think that you can do the same thing: be strong, keep busy and open your mind! You have what many wealthy people want to buy, but they can’t, because isn’t for sale: you are young!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI agree with you, Sky. This is definitely a good advice for me to be a successful person. How to succeed? Every one wonders the method of success, and different people have different opinions. Working hard is an important factor, of course, because no pain no gain. In addition, time is another requirement. A good time schedule can help people work efficient. In order to finish every task on time, the successful people know how to manage their time. Like in workplace, the well-performed employees make time table for every day agenda. The steps of dealing with business are clear, and they are easy to finish piece by piece. Finally, I think the motivation of desire of success is also important. To set up a target and work for it is the way that my former boss always tells me. He is motivated to his great career, even though the work for him is tough sometime. I’ve learned a lot from him because he is my role model. To conclude, success needs hard working, good time schedule and the motivation of persistence.
