There are a lot of things to learn in this world, you may not notice it but all of the things that happen to us have its lesson and it is up to us how we interpret those happenings and how we respond to those meanings.
Life is made up of trials, problems, seeking, needs, wants and ambitions.
****Trials. What is life without trials? Life without trials is a life lived without effort. It is a life that will never grow and bloom. How can we appreciate success if we don’t go through trials? Life will never be sweet as it would be than when lived in accordance with the nature.
****Problems. Problems are interconnected to the life’s nature. Just like trials it is needed to create a better you. It is necessary to learn and to build a better understanding through life. We can never identify what is happiness if there is no sadness.
****Seeking. Wondering why I included it in the composition of life? Well that’s how I interpret life. Life is a process of seeking. It is seeking our purpose, our vision, our mission and our goal in life throughout our living. Have you ever asked yourself or has somebody asked you what is your purpose here on earth? Did you give them or yourself a straight answer? I guess not, because knowing your purpose is not as easy as what you think it is. You can never find yourself in a blink of an eye; it needs a long process of seeking inside, through the deepest core where your heart and mind meet.
****Needs. We can’t live our lives without having the needs. Needs are different from wants. It includes the basic necessities a human should have to survive (e.g. Food, shelter, clothes). I included this because I believe that survival won’t be possible without having this needs.
****Wants. Wants is intertwined with the ambitions or they are somehow synonymous. Wants are those extra things we admire to have. When we have wants we try our best have it, to acquire it. So with that reason that’s why I included it.
****Ambitions. It is said that a man without ambition has no goal, it means that when a man does not have a goal then he just live his life the way it is, no aims, no goal, no ambition. Though it is very impossible because we are living in the human world which means that we are human. I say that a man without an ambition in life does not want a good life. I myself do have an ambition, and it’s not just ambition, ambitions I say because I can’t settle with just one or little. If I could have more then I will desire for more. But of course I won’t let that happen if there’s a need for me to step on other people because I believe that if I step onto others then there will come a time that others will step on me too. And I have a principle with GODs guidance which says “Don’t do to others what you don’t want others do unto you.”
Those above mentioned ideas are somehow connected with the commencement message that Steve Jobs offered.
“You’ve got to find what you love!”
It is his opening words on his commencement message which give a big impact not only to me but to a several people who knew him by name. It is indeed great to do the things you love because in return those things would love you back (not literally speaking that “things” would return the love back). This line gives us a hint on what we should do in our lives. This phrase tells us not to do those things that we don’t like to do.
In his first story which is connecting the dots, we would automatically say that “What’s with the dots???!” in his sharing he had a lot of weird decisions, and honestly speaking he had a weird life. He said that he did not graduate because he dropped out. He dropped all of those subjects that he felt boring and non-sense. He dropped out because he does not love what he was doing. He had an interest on calligraphy that’s why he enrolled. Through all of those things that happened to him he had looked back and reflected. What he was trying to imply is that those dots are the experiences and those dots may not have connections at that moment but as time passed those dots had their connections, they were connected to one another. For me it means that “EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON” nothing in this world happens just because it happens it has a reason why such thing happened whether it is good or bad.
The second story is about his love and lost. It is not the typical love as what we define it; this love he says is referring to what he loved to do. He found out what he loved and used that to succeed. He and his friend Wozniak built Apple; it boomed more than you could imagine. They became legendary, famous and filthy rich. Then he hired a person where he thought could be trusty but that person led him to his downfall. Many factors also contributed on his downfall; one of it is his attitude. He stepped on a lot of people. He is a monster like boss. No wonder why those Apple people fought that he should be gone. He could not believe that he was the one who found Apple and now he got fired. It was too late when he realized that. He was swallowed by the black hole down to the lowest earth. But because of that he learned something and somehow changed his life. Steve Jobs succeeded once because of his attitude of positivity. He did not let that downfall swallow his whole life. He never stopped and he is very persistent to gain back his life that was lost. He built NeXT and Pixar then he fell in love with a wonderful woman he says. Though those companies he built were bought by Apple still he proved that he is strong-willed man.
“If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?” Steve Jobs said this to himself looking at the mirror. I asked myself the same question and answered “I don’t know. It’s hard to think knowing that I’m going to die soon.” But the right words should be “do what you have to do. Make all things around you be well set. And live your life to the fullest with the guidance of GOD.
The third story was about death. He was diagnosed with a pancreas cancer; the doctor said it is incurable and that he needs to fix things up because his going to die soon. He realized that and felt the need to change. He learned to follow what’s in his heart; he listened to it and never been afraid to commit mistakes. He had made a lot of big decision in life. And with this I say that the most beautiful period of his life was this. What I saw in this story was a free man. Free of worries and love. He is a very fortunate man. The doctors suddenly discovered that his cancer was gone. In this miracle he had never even mentioned GOD; I don’t know but he never even said thanks to GOD. We should thank GOD because life is a precious gift HE gave us.
“STAY HUNGRY STAY FOOLISH”
Don’t be afraid; do it. Don’t be contented; aim for more.
We sometimes do things that are freaky, by this I mean decisions made without prior thinking that may result to negative and unpleasant things. And by nature we interpret those results differently from Steve Jobs. In his commencement he mentioned that never will he deny the truth that he failed not just once, not twice but several times. But just look at him, very successful and never will his name FADE; the name who gave birth to the legendary Apple. Again “STAY HUNGRY, STAY FOOLISH”.
Life is made up of trials, problems, seeking, needs, wants and ambitions.
****Trials. What is life without trials? Life without trials is a life lived without effort. It is a life that will never grow and bloom. How can we appreciate success if we don’t go through trials? Life will never be sweet as it would be than when lived in accordance with the nature.
