Steve Jobs : speech on his life

The video shown with Steve Jobs as the speaker was given to us because the whole idea of doing what your heart wants you to do instead what someone else wants you to do is better. The speech was given at Stanford University commencement ceremony. Jobs basically sates the ups and downs of the business world and his college world, which he doesn’t regret at all. I believe that what he shared helped some people understand that failure is not the end of everything. Jobs life story was short and sweet. He first starts off by telling the crowd he came into the world out of wedlock and a lack of education. His mother had not finished college and his father had not finished high school. After the adoptive parents, a lawyer and a teacher wanted a girl he was turned away. He was offered to these other parents but then had a hard time being accepted after finding out his parents were not educated to their liking. Only after Steve’s mother promised the parents that he would go to college, did he get adopted.
He chose Reed University, which was almost just expensive as Stanford, to begin his college education. After 6 months of using up his parents salary, he dropped out. Although he dropped out of college he didn’t go away from the university. He dropped in to an auditing class (calligraphy) which he found to be very intriguing. He pursued a career in business and was fired at apple. He then went to Pixar and then to next. He later found out that apple had joined Pixar and next so he got to work there again. His failures turned out to be for the best.
He always has this motto behind everything that he does, either do things as if you were dying the next day, or think outside.

Please don't stop the music

Music is all around us, it’s in the wind, trees, and ground. Music is the most versatile language, in that it can be anything one imagines music is. Across the universe, music could have the same effect on you as it does on somebody in another country. My favorite style of music is alternative, hip-hop, and reggae. These are my favorites because they tell a story. Also I have a taste for classical because it’s a piece of history I listen to. I love the fact that so long ago, that was their music to listen to, and that was pretty much it. It’s intriguing to know that most teenagers listened to classical in the early sixteen ad seventeen hundreds. If they were to expound on this topic I would think they would state Beethoven and Bach as there favorite composers etc. Alternative has a smooth or hard beat to it. I like the music that can accompany me to a workout, and calm me when doing homework. On my iPod I have such menus in which to accommodate the mood of my daily activities. Hip-hop is music to dance to and workout to. I usually listen to classical music when I am writing a report, or during asleep when contemplating something. Classical makes me think and my mind opens to new writing ideas.
My taste in music has changed from my younger years. I had always had a taste for classical since a little girl and for hip hop, but I used to listen to such music as country. Country does not appeal to me anymore. I don’t like the twang in people’s voices, or the guitars that have the “twang” sound either. Some country songs I will tolerate, but not much. I suppose if I were forced to listen to country as a punishment I would not mind it, but for leisure I would. Alternative and techno music went on my list when I was a junior in high school. I knew my mother didn’t really approve of the music I listened to, so I just toned it down a little to appease her, just to be respectful. I don’t really think that she minds now that I am away from the house and in college. Music is an important element in my life, but without music I would simply take up a new hobby, maybe a new language. A song as my theme song would be dreamer by Chris brown Vivaldi by happy hardcore and No.5 by Hollywood undead and Enur-calabria in a remix.
