After I read the commencement address of Steve Jobs, I finally knew that Steve Jobs is not that kind of person on what I thought of him at the first place due to his personality I saw in the movie, The Pirates of Silicon Valley. It made me see him like he is an another person which is opposite to those things I thought of him at first place.

Followed by that I learned various things that did made me think about what he said in his commencement address. I learned that doing things you love the most can make you excel onto what you are doing and as a result of that it can guide you in to your success. Though I believe that there is no such thing as success in this life, for the reason that there are many things in this life that we cannot achieve and yet still we hope for it and knowing that those things are for us not to be obtained. For the fact that we, people, have boundless wants and only limited of our needs, still we make ourselves want more even if we are blissful on to those things we have. That is because we are not bound to be contented in the things we have, even Steve Jobs himself is having such desires of his own despite of his wealth. Furthermore, I learned that awful things might happen to us and as well as good things, but not all those bad things or those downfalls can lead us directly to our own demise. What I’m trying to say is; like in the situation of Steve Jobs, he has lots of downfalls however it didn’t prevent his will to make it to the top. Instead he used it as his key for his success. And I’m pretty sure that he is quite thankful that those things happened to him, because if that would’ve not occurred he would’ve not been in his shoes right now. Subsequently, I learned as well that we have to live our life to the fullest; I think that’s what Steve Jobs is trying to say in his commencement address. We have to live our lives now as we are about to die; it simply means that we have to do our best thing we could on those things we do like in work or at school. It is because that  we don’t know what could happen to us for the next few seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months and years; are we going to depart this life or not. In that case, why think of the past and what’s going to happen in the future if the only thing that matters the most is know? Come to think about it.
