Steve Jobs' talk



(A)

(1)You have to trust in something — your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has You've got to find what you love. And that is as true for your work as it is for your lovers.

(5)Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life.
(6)Don't be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people's thinking.
(7Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice.
(8)And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become.

(B)

Who is Steve Job? At frist, I don't know who he is. He is Apple's president. I can't understand the English's meaning , after I read and listen it for two times. So i read the Chinese's edition, oh It has been so long time since I think. Indeed, don't waste it living someone else's life. Recently I'm very confused. The problems are should I need to study research institute and should I need to care others's thoughts to me. From Steve Jobs' talk, let's me making clear more accurate. For studying, I think I need more specialized field, because I'm not attention to my college education. And the other problem, I always care about others looking, so I can't be myself. That let's me often unhappy. I decide to give a chance to myself to change my life.

This is my favorite paragraph

Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.
