Assignment #6 Steve Jobs’ Talk

Steve Jobs, one of the most famous entrepreneurs in the world. The youth who in the college step may have lose themselves. But rethinking, we should do what we wanna do. If we do something that we don't like at all, maybe this is a kind of torture. Although we find something we interested in, we must deeply study this field and be an expert. 

The chance will stand by somebody who is well-prepared. This is the same with Jobs because he didn't know the course he take will use in the future. So, I really agree that. Take the most simplest thing for example, college entrance examination. My high school teacher once taught me if you didn't have any idea what you want to do or learn in the future, just studied. When you finish the exam, at least you have a choice to choose a department not a school choose you. Finally, we can smoothly enter the college that we really want. 

No one could escape from death. "Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish." Be curious in everything, be passionate in novelty industry. We will have more and more thought to let the world be better.

Lyrics

Please don't see
Just a boy caught up in dreams and fantasies
Please see me
Reaching out for someone I can't see

Take my hand, let's see where we wake up tomorrow
Best laid plans sometimes are just a one night stand
I'll be damned, Cupid's demanding back his arrow
So let's get drunk on our tears and

God, tell us the reason youth is wasted on the young
It's hunting season and the lambs are on the run
Searching for meaning
But are we all lost stars trying to light up the dark?

Who are we?
Just a speck of dust within the galaxy?
Woe is me
If we're not careful turns into reality

don't you dare let our best memories bring you sorrow
Yesterday I saw a lion kiss a deer
Turn the page, maybe we'll find a brand new ending
Where we're dancing in our tears and

God, tell us the reason youth is wasted on the young
It's hunting season and the lambs are on the run
searching for meaning
But are we all lost stars trying to light up the dark?

And I thought I saw you out there crying
And I thought I heard you call my name
And I thought I heard you out there crying
But just the same

And God, give us the reason youth is wasted on the you
ng
It's hunting season and the lambs are on the run
searching for meaning
But are we all lost stars trying to light up the dark?

And I thought I saw you out there crying
And I thought I heard you call my name
And I thought I heard you out there crying
But are we all lost stars trying to light up the dark?
Are we all lost stars trying to light up the dark?

Three words that I learn from the song

fantasy

• His childhood fantasies about becoming a famous football player

galaxy

• Scientists observing phenomena in nearby galaxies

arrow

• The road continues as straight as an arrow.

I like this song because the singer's special voice in high pitch that sounds fantastic. The song was the soundtrack of the movie which called "Begin again" or "Can a song save your life?". When we lost ourselves, we might be frustrated. In addition, we want to be better. So, the expectation becomes bigger and bigger. As we failed, our confidence broke suddenly. It must be disappointing about this unhappy condition. Although the failure is exactly depressed, we have to cheer up! After failing, it is important to restart our life journey and rethink how to take next step. I think it is the song that want to tell us.
