After watching Steve Job’s commencement at Stanford University, there are some points impressing me a lot. He said “ I had no idea what to do with my life and no idea how college was going to help me figure it out……So I decided to drop out……” I sometimes feel the same as him because I think some courses that I had taken were not useful for my future. It wasted my time idling sitting in the classroom. For me, I take some classes just in order to reach the requirement of graduation. However, I do not have the courage to drop out of school since I have already doubled major my interested department. He taught me to understand what is the most important for me.
Another quote
from the speech that is “You can’t connect the dots looking forward, you can
only connect them looking backwards.” I totally agree with it. People do not
know what will happen in the future; however, what they did before might
become an important and required part to achieve them. Although I have not any
achievement so far, I try to do something that I think can be helpful to me so
that I will not regret when the time passes by.
The third point
is that he said sometimes life hits you in the head with a brick, and don’t
lose faith. Our life is full of different or contrast phases, but we should
listen to our hearts-Ask ourselves what we really want to do and believe what
we choose which give us the direction to know what we are doing
now.
I also like the
quote “Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life.” All
of us are living for ourselves, even if someone is close to us. No one can replace
us to live on, and we eventually have to face the reality. Most important, our
life only last for several decades; therefore, we must cherish time to do
something more meaningful.
Finally, Jobs
said, “Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish.” The proverb inspires me to not give up walking
my chosen road in my life. Be brave to purse my dream and enjoy my life. I will
stay hungry to learn more things and stay foolish to do them.
