Steve Jobs's speech

his speech is divided into 3 stories. first of all, he indicates that we should stand any adversity at any time, and experience diversity of educattion not just one study. also, enjoy being hungry and poor, and use it. second point of his story is about love and loss. he had a dream which he really wanted to do early. at his 30, he fired, but he still loved what he did, so he decied to keep doing what he loved. he says that we have to find what we love to do as soon as posible and keep looking. third point that he states is the most impressionable part of speech. it's about a death. he got a incurable cancer, and doctor told him that he had better prepare his death. however, he didn't give up and he is good now. according to his speech, we were born already naked. if we have a disease or other disaters, don't give up our lives. death is like a change agent, time is limited, and don't ignore others' opinions. finally, he remains a strong saying stay hungry and stay foolish.

before i listened his speech, i didn't know even anything about him. but his saying was very interesting. i was very impressed by the steve jobs's saying. according to his second story, he said "love what you're doing and if you haven't found what you love to do yet, keep looking for it. Don't settle." it made me have to find something to be eager to do. i haven't decide what i'm gonna do in the future, and i have thought that i will do anything as posible as i can. from now, i try to keep looking for what i wanna do. moreover, he had the same problem as my father has. my father is sick, for he has a uncurable heart disease. my father have always done as exactly same as steve mentioned. my father naver gives up despite of having serious problem. i wanna be like my father, and i try to follow steve's saying, "don't give up." it was like a changing machine which makes one be better and do more.

when i was 14, my parents tried to send me to canada because they wanted me to study english even earlier than others. at first i was suggested to go to canada, i was willing to go to canada because i dreamed about living alone and experiencing other country. however, the problem was that i was too young to live alone and i didn't wanna be alone. indeed, i couldn't live without my parents. as a result, i didn't go then. that was my worst choich i've done in my life. if i had gone to canada at that time, i'm in any university, i have a great english skills, and i may not have gone to army. now, i regret my decision to stay when i was too young. on the other hand, i have gained lots of things. i have many good friends to share our problems. i also have a good experience of army. i leart how do socialize among different people who i hadn't met before, how to rule my squad, and how important my family is for me. i have had a lot of turning points in my life, but i can't control all of them. despite of my regret about having bad determinations, i try to be better than now. steve mentioned that he lives today like as whole his life.

I Love and Appreciate my family

when i was young even if i am still young, my father always told me that you should think one more before starting talking to others. my mother also kept saying to me to be kind to others. despite the fact that my parents have always been saying good stroy to us, it is hard for me to follow their great advices because doing is more difficult than listening. but, i keep trying to follow their mind and i want to be like my parents.
