Relfection on Steve Job's Talk

I like to listen to the inspiring talks! Every time after I listen to the talks, I am inspired and rethink what I have again. The inspiring talks motivate me to look things toward bright sides and give me the courage to try new things actively. When I listen to the talks, I am used to jotting down the mottos or the useful sentences. Those sentences are quite helpful when I meet difficulty or feel frustrated.


I have watched The Last Lecture before and I love the professor so much. Compared to Steve job’s talk, Randy Pausch delivered the speech in a humorous way. However, what Steve said really inspired me especially now I am going to find a job. He said, “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 other's opinions drown out your own inner voice.” Now I am finding a job, no matter what kinds of jobs I choose, many people around me start to give me their opinions like, “Don’t you think the salary is too low?”, “The job is not good and not unstable!”, “Why don’t you be the teacher or public workers?” All of them try to make decisions for me. I have already been nervous and unsure to face the totally different environment from school and have been learning to think and make decisions by myself. Why are these people trying to teach me what is right? At this moment, I think of what Steve said.

I cannot help thinking of Steve’s words these days. Through reading his every sentence, I have the courage to face the new challenge and discover the answer to every question along my journey. Just like what Steve said, “You can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards.”
