#4 Steve Jobs’ 2005 Standford Commencement Address

How did the talk affect you?

The inspiration that this speech brought me is that the setbacks or difficulties encountered in life are the nutrients that make me grow. As Jobs' said, he was fired from the company he founded, but he never gave up on what he loved. After that, he established a company called Pixar, and finally not only returned to Apple, but also got a happy family. Therefore, setbacks bring us not only pain, but also unexpected gains.


How does this talk catch the listeners’ attention (or does it all)?

Jobs shared three stories in his life to describe the arguments he wanted to express, so that the audience could think from his perspective, and finally connect the three stories to make a conclusion, making the content of the speech more exciting and complete.

Has the talk changed your mind about something? If so, explain how.

Jobs shared that he chose to drop out because he couldn't see the value that college brought him, and then took  a calligraphy class that allowed him to create designs with beautiful layouts and special fonts after inventing the Mac computer in the future. I quite agree with his point of view, learning the knowledge and technology that interests me and applying what you have learned is the core of learning.

Has the talk left you with any questions?

In addition to his strong perseverance for what he loves, is there any other factor that makes Jobs more determined to realize his dream instead of failing?

Does the talk relate to anything from your past life experiences?

Because I am very interested in Korean culture and also like watching Korean dramas, I have participated in the basic Korean class held by the school before, learning how to pronounce and understand basic daily Korean. I am willing to invest in the courses that interest me. I have more time to practice. In my daily life, I can also read the Korean language on the products, which is very useful to me.

Does the talk agree with any of your past life experiences?

As I said above, I took a Korean course because I was interested in Korean. Although there are some differences with Jobs dropping out of school to audit the course, the same thing is that we all learn what we are interested in.

    Speaking of calligraphy class, it reminds me of my teacher telling me that Jobs didn't know that taking that calligraphy class would affect his future, which tells us not to cut class. Haha!

#2 Body Language Online

Now is the age of the international village,different countries have different languages,cultures and habit. Is there any way to make communication unhindered?I think Yes! When two people from different countries have communication problems because of different languages.we usually first judge the emotions the other wants to express from the expression,and guess whether the other wants to say good news or bad news. I think the two most important body language is expression and eyes.In the process of communication,we will understand them feelings by judging each other’s expressions and eyes. When we use communication software like line , message to chat. we often misunderstand what the other want to express , because words are emotionless, so we have to observe the facial expressions and eyes to chat smoothly～
