Your life, live it, love it.

Actually, I still have not found the reason why I am in this world. And I’m still looking for the right answer. I listened to Steve Jobs’s talk at Stanford University on how to live your life before you die and personally, it helped put me on the right path in achieving my goal . He shared 3 events of his life. 1st, Connecting the dots, have you ever asked yourself what will happen in the future regarding your life? Well if you did, Mr. Jobs explained his personal view on this question. When he was in college, he had no idea about what to do with his life and the school did not help him find it either. That’s why he dropped most but one subject, calligraphy. At first, he did not find that calligraphy would benefit him but he just trusted that it would all work out okay. It did when he built the 1st Apple computer and he would not have done this if he had not followed what he thought was right. Mr. Jobs is telling us that we should just trust that the dots will connect in the future, we should not think so much about it. We cannot connect the dots by looking forward, we could only connect it by looking backwards. By doing so, we would be able to find the confidence to follow our heart to do what we want and think is needed. That would surely make all the difference. Follow your heart, it might not always be correct but any consequence that will arise from it might open a door to something better.

Love and Loss. Don’t lose hope and know that everything happens for a reason. If you love something, don’t give up to the trials that come your way because if you do, you’ll regret not being able to know what should have and shouldn’t have been, don’t give up. In Mr. Jobs’s case, his company, he lost it but he never gave up, he believed in himself that he could do it, and he did, he was able to regain his company. When life gives you a million reasons to give up, give a billion reasons to continue. Everything happens for a reason, you fall so that you could stand back up, you make mistakes to be able to correct it, and you fail so that you would appreciate your success more. Everybody meet problems; it’s the person who finds a way to overcome it that makes the difference. “You’ve got to find something that you love, never settle.” This is what Mr. Jobs said and that is true to our job and lovers. If you don’t love the job you’re doing, you will never be satisfied with your life because our job fills a big part of our life. That is also true to our lovers; never settle for someone if you aren’t 100% certain that it’s him/her. Never lose faith to be better. We can be, and we will be if you just believe, believe in yourself and believe that it will be…

Death. “If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you’ll most certainly be right.” I’ve learned that death is the most important invention of life. Without it, we would not live our lives to the fullest because there would be that thought that you have something to lose. We cannot avoid death, nobody has and nobody will. This is something that all people would have to face even if we don’t want to. What’s its implication? Live your life. Never live another person’s life because you only have one so don’t waste it. Take every chance that you could possibly can because you’ll never know how long it will be there. Grab life by the horns, live as if there’s no tomorrow. Purity of actions leaves no cause for regret. And while you’re at it, pull everybody around you one level higher.
