Steve Jobs, CEO of Apple, gave a speech at the graduation ceremony of Stanford for celebrating student and cheering them up. It consisted of three stories.
First one is about connecting dots. Connecting dots standed for a situation that some experiences that you did in past become unbelievablely helpful in someday. In other words, every experience that you have is kind of dots which will be connected successfully in the future. One of Steve Jobs's connecting dots was taking a caligraphy course in his school. After long years later, what he learned from that course became very powerful for making program of makintosh.
Mr. Jobs also argue that you have to do what you really want to do. Once in the past, he was fired from the company that he founded. After that he had to spend very hard time, but enthusiasm for what he really want to do made him challenge the computer business again, and he could succeed finally. By this example, he insisted listening to your heart says is so important that you have to try to search continually what you want.
Finally, the speaker told about a death. All people do not want to die, but it can play a great role to make people decide right choice when they remind their life is limited. Mr. jobs said he was near to death because of his cancer in pancreas, and it was a precious experience to make him know a value of life and just follow his heart always.
I think what he really want to say is you have to do what you really want to do and it makes your life extraordinary. Connecting dot is just a process to search for what you want, and keeping the meaning of a death in your mind makes you long for what you want. Actually, I found what I really want to do a few months ago, although it is a little bit vague. It is to be a good coach enough to raise great business leaders and I will work any business place where it can be realized. I learned from a company where I did internship that great business leader is also great coach. That lesson was a truth that I was looking for so far, so the speech of Mr. jobs made me totally agree with him.
