Commencement Address

The last time that we met our facilitator sir Randy Gamboa, we are assigned to read the commencement address of Steve Jobs and write our reflection base on what we have understand in the commencement address of Steve Jobs. By the way, Steven Paul Jobs or Steve Jobs is the CEO or chief executive officer of Apple Computers and Pixar Animation. The Commencement address of Steve was held in the one of the finest universities in the world.


Connecting the dots


In this story, Steve Jobs share his story on how dropping out from school gives many changes in his life, and how these changes lead him to his success and be counted us one of the most riches and famous businessman in the world. Steve Jobs dropped out several times when his in college for the reasons that it didn’t interest him and he doesn’t see the value of it. So when he decided to dropped out from college which the school is almost expensive as Stanford, he decided to drop in a calligraphy class because it gives him interest to learn it, and it makes him happy.
With the help of the knowledge that he have in the calligraphy class when he is still in college, he apply it to the Macintosh computer which created by them in the apple company. The calligraphy class really gives big help and benefit to Steve Jobs because the Macintosh functions as what Steve Jobs really want.
In the first story of Steve Jobs trusting in our guts or in our self is one of the things that lead us to success and to our really desired task. And I must say that everything has a purpose, just what happens to Steve Jobs. We just all think that every mistakes will always be forever mistakes, but the truth is every mistakes has it purpose and those purpose helps has learn from our mistakes.
As a future technopreneur, I must consider mistakes as lesson in my life not a lost, because in every decision that we make has purpose for us to be grow more and then learn from it. Deciding in one thing is very important because our decision plays a big part in our life and it purpose affect our daily lives as years pass by and as we grow and grow.


About Love and Loss


Steve Jobs was so happy and proud of his self that he fined what he really love to do in life, and because of it Steve Jobs now is now counted as one of the world’s famous and successful businessman. Steve Jobs become rich man and be known in world also because of his friend Steve Wozniak, who is a co-founder of the Apple Computers. Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak started Apple Computers in their garage, but now because of their passions in what they really love to do and what interest them they have now their own company which cost almost $2 billion. And from an employee of three or four, now Steve Jobs has now 4000 employees working for him and for apple computers.
For me Steve Jobs is really right, finding what you really want to do and your passion in life is a good thing that you will do in your life. Finding what you really want to do in life is just like finding the person you really loves. If you really love that person, you will do everything to have her. In the case of Steve Jobs, he is truly devoted on his job, even though he has been fired from his own company. When the time that he got fired from apple computers, Steve Jobs didn’t use it as reason to give up but instead he put up another company named neXT then followed by the Pixar animation.
If I wear in the case of Steve Jobs, I will do the same thing like he does when he got fired from his own company he started. As a future technopreneur, finding what you really love to do give a big credit to a success of a technopreneur. Like Steve Jobs, I will do also my best to have back what I have lost and still do what I really love or want to do or what interest me, because with the help of this it will help me lead to my success and be like Steve Jobs who is counted as one of the most famous technopreneur and entrepreneur in the world.
Loving what you do is the best thing as technopreneur because if your truly devoted to your job or work you will not find it hard to finish and you will find it more interesting as years pass by and as you improve in what you do.


About Death


We all know that we will die soon and our life will end anytime. So let’s live our life to the fullest and do those things that you really love before we will be run out of time. There are some who waste their time doing some unnecessary things instead of valuing the moment when they’re still alive. Even though there some who doesn’t give importance to the life given by God still they will just knew it at the end when they were already going to die.
Steve Jobs is right that knowing or being aware that we will die anytime is the important thing in our life because we will be able to cherish give importance in the time, days, months, and years that pass by as we live in this world. It’s good to be aware about death because we will be able to think wisely on what we will do in our life and should be the right thing to be done. Follow what your heart tells you because following your heart gives you unforgettable moment. Follow Gods plans for you for only god knows your past present and future, follow God’s lead because God doesn’t leads us to a wrong path or into danger or harm. As Steve says (“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 others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.”).
