Just since this early morning, I made a decision to memorize an article written in English a day. The article could be any kind of from, Novel, script, and so on, only if it is written in English. And I also made a promise that every time I read the article, I would share the ideas from the article with you. The first article I want to share with you is an speech on the commencement of Stand Ford University form Steve Jobs, and there are three main ideas which Steve Jobs wanted to share with us from his daily life.
The first idea is about connecting the dots, which means that don’t ignore the value of the tiny events from your life. Steve said that the only reason why he could have the opportunity to create Apple is because of the tiny, little events, which seem not important. He said that he dropped out the college, after six months in college. However, in stead of leaving the college right away , he choose to hang in the college and take the courses that truly interested him. With out this action, there will be no “Apple” today.
The second idea is about doing something which you truly love from your heart. It is no big story that Steve was once fired by the board of Mac. At the very moment, the single decision made by the board, asking him to leave, was devastating. However, soon he realized that although he was forced to leave Apple, he still loved Apple and what he had done in Apple. Instead of being a looser, he built up new companies called NEXT and Pixar. And then, in an remarkable turn of event, Apple bought NEXT, and STEVE returned to Apple. Steve said that he was lucky to find out what he really loved, and he encouraged people should always keep looking for what they truly loved and never settle down.
The third talks about facing the death. This is the part I am not going to introduce to you. Sorry.
Anyway, this is all for today. Thanks for reading it.
