Steve Jobs’ talk


5 good words/sentences I learn 
drop out  輟學
unwed (adj.) 未婚的
 relent (v.) 減輕
naively(adv.) 天真地
stumbled(v.) 跌倒

Today, I read a speech which is delivered by Steve Jobs.He told us three stories of his life.

The first story is  about connecting the dots. 
     He told us the connection of his dropout and the first Macintosh computer.If he made a another decision, there would  never have multiple typefaces or proportionally spaced fonts in Mac.
     We can’t connect the dots looking forward; we can only connect them looking backward.So we have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. And it may make some difference in our lifes.

The second story is about love and loss.
     He found what he loves to do and sticked to it no matter how hard the road is.
     We’ve got to find what you love. And that is as true for your work as it is for your lovers.Although I'm still a student, I have to find what I'm interested in and what I want to do.I believe that passion is power.With my full heart, things will be better.

The last story is about death.
     It's a experience about  the cancer almost take his life.
     Before I read this speech I have never thought anything about "death".I'm only 19 years old!But life is uncertain, we can not expect what will happen in next day, next hour, even next second.We have to try to live everyday as if it is the full final day of my extraordinary ordinary life.And do our best to relish this remarkable ride.

Lyric:

Sweet love, sweet love
Trapped in your love
I've opened up, unsure I can trust
My heart and I were buried in dust
Free me, free us
You're all I need when I'm holding you tight
If you walk away I will suffer tonight
I found a man I can trust
And boy, I believe in us
I am terrified to love for the first time
Can you see that I'm bound in chains
I finally found my way
I am bound to you
I am bound to you
So much, so young
I've faced on my own
Walls I built up became my home
I'm strong and I'm sure there's a fire in us
Sweet love, so pure
I catch my breath with just one beating heart
And I brace myself, please don't tear this apart
I found a man I can trust
And boy, I believe in us
I am terrified to love for the first time
Can't you see that I'm bound in chains
I finally found my way
I am bound to you
I am bound to
Suddenly the moment's here
I embrace my fears
All that I have been carrying all these years
Do I risk it all
Come this far just to fall, fall
Oh, I can trust
And boy, I believe in us
I am terrified to love for the first time
Can you see that I'm bound in chains
And finally found my way
I am bound to you
I am,
Ooh, I am
I'm bound to you

Why you like the song:

The first time I heard this song was in a movie called "Burlesque" which is a muscical film. I still remember that I was totally touched by her beautiful voice and moving lyrics.Thereafter, I started to google the information of this song.This song was written by Christina Aguilera herself!!!
Everyone who has watched this movie would never forget her touching voice and gorgeous performances.
