“You’ve got to find what you love.”
I was honestly got puzzled of what am I going to be the moment I finished reading the article. I am now confused of what I would become and of what would I be (5) five years or ten years from now. But there’s just only thing that is for sure, it really inspires me ending up myself awakened for who I really am.
From the previous write up that I had been producing, my appreciation and gratitude to the life and works of Steve Jobs is clear. I guess, and for me, no one is comparable to him not even Bill Gates. Even before, the moment I got to know him during the movie Pirates of the Silicon Valley, I already saluted him and I pretty well know that it had not come into waste and trash. Much more now that I was given a chance to read more about him by reading the three significant events of his life. From that commencement address that he had given, it is of much opportunity for me to have a copy of it. Through this I can be able to remind myself of the lessons and learning that I may be used in having my own journey in the field of technopreneurship.
“You’ve got to find what you love.”, he started. The moment I got to read this, I was really in an unexplainable state. I don’t know of what would I have to sink in mind. I don’t even know if I can be able to find what I love. But what strikes me most is when he talks about TRUST. This is the most character that I treasure the most. The very value that I wanted to have, to earn and doesn’t want to lose. But, ironically speaking, to trust especially to myself and to my capabilities is very much difficult. Although people may see me as tough and strong, still I could not find it in me to trust my whole being. Now why? It’s because I am being affected by my on faults and a captive of my own personality. I just don’t know but I could really find it hard and I know that it’s because of my faults and mistakes done in the past.
I am really enlightened by the thought shared by Steve Jobs, “You have to trust in something---, your guts, destiny, life, karma”. With his experiences in the past he was able to connect all the dots which comprise all of his good or bad memories. From him I learned that of what ever the situation may come, it could still be possible for that single dot connects us to our better future. I learned that we should believe on ourselves, to who we are and to what we can do. All we have to do is not to lose hope and make a better dot to create a better and path.
No w I know and will keep in mind this wonderful thought. Trust and build yourself. Make a better experience and succeed in life. Don’t stop believing, soar high and make histories!
Contrary to Steve jobs, I am not so fortunate to find what I love at an early stage of my life. I could still remember that during my elementary days, I used to be scolded as the teacher in the class which I know that I really don’t like. Now during my high school days, I am somehow awakened and developed into a career which I thought that I would be best at. And I believe that it is through the field of public relationship or something that deals with public service, government, law or things that needs to be done with a verbal ability.
Funny it may be but what I am used to ask to myself is, ” What am I doing in the valley of silicon, in a computer world? ”. Now in relevance to my first learning I believe that this is what we call as destiny and I have faith in it. I just wanted also to share that during my stay as an Information technology student, I had already come across different trials. I had once become a regular student then suddenly not. This is a normal scenario for me and to most of my classmates knowing that somehow it is not a shameful thing. Now going back to the love and loss of Steve Jobs, I gained so much and the most specific of which is not to lose hope even if trials keep on coming. By just being a student we should all learn this very important thing. Just keep moving and continue to fight that even if we may fail we should not stop ourselves and just be settled. This is the factor I really admire about Steve Jobs. He never stops on doing and developing for something. He innovates ceaselessly. I know that this learning does not only talks about as a student but more on becoming as a technopreneur. I believe that what it refers most is for survivability of an individual. For a world that keeps on changing, it continually clears out the old and makes way for the new. Thus we should learn to value things before we fall and to continue loving that same thing through some innovations and development. We may fail at some point, but it is not always the end. We had only loss the chance but not our heart. It is only through the heart that we could follow our intuition. If we would have this we can never be a failure and we can always put ourselves next to success.
“There is no reason not to follow your heart.” Sigh. Unexpectedly this had become our discussion for these past few days. Mind or Heart? Frequently, if I am to ask about this question, I usually opt to choose the mind which I guess the reason why I am not happy most of the time. But as we go on to our argument, slowly I am influenced by them especially to my one closest friend which is a very inspiring person.
In our life, we have to make big choices and big decisions and with regards to how it will affect us is greatly dependent on how we will embrace every little thing life had brought.
