Hello
Everyone will come back to the speak out the show
I'm the host alien
I didn't update a new episode last week
So sorry about that
Please forgive me it's hard to form a new habit
So i will try my best in the future to update once a week
So let's have into the topic today
Let's review the classic speech together
The stive jobs two thousand and five stanford commmencement address
I'll share my thoughts about this speech and pick up some english a long way
So next i will read the transcripts of the speech and let's study english together
I'm honoured to be with you today for your commencement from one of the finest universities in the world
So here's the world commencement
Commencement means the graduation ceremony in commonwealth countries
People usually use the word graduation ceremony
But especially in united states
People tend to use the word commencement truth be told i never graduated from college
This is the closest
I've ever gotten to college graduation
The phrase get too means to approach
Today i want to tell you three stories from my life
That's it no big deal just three stories
The first stories about connecting the dots
I drop out of read college after the first six months
But then stay around as a drop in for another eighteen months
Also before i really quit well the world drop in is basically like the temporary visitor
Although steve dropped out of college
But he still stayin the campus for about one year and a half
That's the meaning of droin as contincontinue
So why would i drop out
It started before i was born
My biological mother was a young on wet graduate student
And she's decided to put me up for adoption
Let's focus on the phrase
Pull somebody up the first meaning of pull somebody up is to offer someone a temporary accommodation for example
The sentence
I can pull you up for the night
If you can't find a hotel
The second meeting of this phrase is to propose someone as a candidate for an election for a position
The sentence is like she was pulup for the position of team captain
So as for me
I think the phrase pust somebody up is like offering some help for someone
Let's move on she felt very strongly that i should be adopted by college graduates
So everything was all set for me to be adopted at birth by a lawyer and his wife
Except that when i've talked out
They decided as a last minute
That they really wanted a girl
The phrase hop out in this contest
It means born
But there are some of other minutes
The first is to go out briefly and
And the other one is to appear suddenly continue
So my parents who were on a waiting list
Got a call in the middle of the night
Asking we've god an unexpected baby boy
Do you want him
They said
Of course my biological mother found out later
That my mother had never graduated from college
And then my father had never graduated from high school
She refused to sign the final adoption papers
She only relaented a few months later
When my parents promised that i will go to college
There's a key word relent
So what does relenant means as a word
It means to become less harsh or determined to finally agree to something after initially refusing
So in this contest
It means that his biological mother initially refused agree the adoption and after the promise
She changed her mind
Right
The syttleoms of relent are like casci
Gigibyield
That's
That's a good d use
Let's move on
This would start in my life and seven years later i did go to college
But i now easily choose a college that was almost as expensive as stand d and all of my working cause parents savings were being spent on my college tuition after six months
I couldn't see the value in it
I had no idea what i wanted to do with my life
And no idea how college was going to help me figure it out
And here i was spending all of the money
My parents had saved their entire life
So i decided to drop out and trust that it would all work out okay
Pos there's a phrase work out
So there are many meanings of the phrase work out
We are are all fammilar with the d is too exercise right doing work out as gim
The second is to sola problem to work out a mass problems
Jably thirmeining is the meaning
The conteto dedep our progress in a particular way
Continued it was pretty scary at a time
But looking back it was one of the best decisions
I ever made the meeting i drop out
I could stop
Taking the required classes that didn't interest me and begin dropping in on the ones that looked far more interesting
It wasn't all romantic
I didn't have a door room
So i sslap on the four in france roads
I returned to coke bottles for the five cent deposits to buy food wood
And i would walk the siseven miles across time
Every sunny night to get one good meal a week as a hair chrishna temple i loved it
And much of what i stumbled into by following my curiosity and intuition turned out to be press less later on let's alyze the phrase stumble into it means to enter a place or starting to do in something or experience something by ch it personally
I think steve is a lucky person
And this is his destiny
He is wealthy enough his the father of apple
But he passed away in a early age
These decisions made by him
When he was ooung foot by folly his curioshand iniation really turned out to be something priceless
As he said in the speech
So let's see
What are these let me give you one example recollege at a time
Offered her perhaps the best colligraphy instruction in the country throughout the campus
Every post her every label on every drawer was beautifully hand a categraph
Because i had drop out
And didn't have to take the normal classes
I decided to take a calegraphy class to learn how to do this
I learned about sarif and sand sarff tag faces about varying the amount of space between different letter combinations about what makes great
Topography
Great
It was beautiful
Historical
Artificially subtle in a way that science can't capture
And i found it fasfascating none of this had even a hope of any practical application in my life
But ten years later
When we were designing in the first macintash computer
It all came back to me
Okay
Let stop and see the sentence
Ten years later
When we were designed the first macinindsh computer
It all came back to me
So the phrase come back to somebody means that to return to someone's mind
Something to be remembered again after being forgotten the syttdums are like return to mind flood back that is if you want to express that
You really remember something that used to be forgotten by you
So you can use the phrase come back to you
Come back to sumonmoney
Okay
Let's continue
And we decided all into the mak
It was the first computer with beautiful typography
If i had never drop in on that single course in college
The machael would have never had multiple typfaces or proportionally sped funds
That see the word
Proportionally
Proporportionally is the edwarb of phenoue proportion
The world proportion means a part of a whole or a share of a whole
It shows the relationship of sizes amount a number
Something like that the synnoms of proportion are racial share part
So you can replace these word with proportion
So that's move on and since windows just copy the mac is likely that no personal computer would have them
If i have never drop out
I would have never drop in on this collegraphy class and personal computers might not have the wonderful typoography that they do
Of course
It was impossible to connect the dots
Looking forward
When i was in college
But it was very very clear
Looking backwards
Ten years later again
You can't connect the dots
Looking forward
You can only connect them
Looking backwards
So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future
You have to trust in something you're got destiny live karma
Whatever because believing that the dots will connect down the road
Will give you the confidence to follow your heart
Even it leads you off the well warm have
And that will make all the difference well the word well warn path means there are a lot of people have watked us pass
So about the first story
I think the english part is easy
Ii have explained some some of the phrases and
And hard words
So i want to say something about his first story
So steve said they are loved doss in his life and same for us
The first thought steve mension is he drop out of college
And he dropped in on a colligraphy cass
Because the class is what he really interested in
And after ten years later
He apply ed the cleligraphy art into the design of macininash computer and the art of collegraphy really improve the typography of personal computers
At that time
The first story really shows that there's a script of your life
And we need to follow the destiny
When to follow the scrimpt for example something bad happens
And at the time of the best thing happens
Happened before you may thought you were the most unfortunate people in the world
However years later the best thing you considered before probably turned out to be a good thing
Years after so as steve says
Sometimes we just need to follow our heart and follow our gut and chase our dreams
Whatever challenges ahead of us
You need to hold a belief
That the action i take today will work out in the future
And as as long as we keep doing that we will see the result one day
So let's see steve's second story
My second story is about love and loss
I was lucki found what i love to do early in life wasn't
I started apple in my parents garrage
When i was twenty we work hard
And in ten years apple had grown from just the two of us in a garage into a two billion company with over four thousand employees
We just release our finance creation that mckintash a year earlier
And i had just termed thirty
And then i got fired
How can i get fired from the company
You started well as apple grew we hired someone who i thought was very talented to rather company with me
And for the first cheer or so things went well
But then our wages of the future began to diverge and eventually we had a falling out
So that is the phrase falling out
It means that a serious disagreement or argument
The ends of friendship or partnership is like quarrel and break up okay
When we did our board of directors cited with him so at thirty
I was out and very publicly out
What had been the focus of my entire ault life was gone
And it was devastating
I really didn't know what to do for a few months
I felt that i had let the previous generation of entrepreneurs down
So i had dropped
But time as it was being passed to me
I met with david and bar
And tried to apologize for screen up
So badly so stop a seasof phrase screw up
Scw up means to mess things up make a big mistake
So the syildioms are ruin and mess up
That's it i was a very public failure
And i even thought about running away from the valley
But something slowly began to dawn on me
I still loved what i did well the word don on means equally ally means realizze something something 巴拉巴拉okay
Let's move on the turn off events at apple had not changed that one bit
I had been rejected
But i was still in love
And so i decided to start over
I didn't see then
But it turned out that gnified from apple was the best thing that could have ever happened to me
The happiness of being successful was replaced by the lighteness of being a beginner again
That's sure about everything
It freed me to interrupt the most created periods of my lives
During the next five years
I start a company name nest
Another company name pizza and fell in love with an amazing woman
Who would become my wife pigs are went on to create the world's first computer animated fuure film toy story
And is now the most successful animation studio in the world in remarkable turn of events
Apple bought nest
I return to apple as the technology we developed at nest
Is as the heart of apple's current releisance and luree
And i have a wonderful family together
I'm pretty sure
None of this would have happened
If i hadn't be fired from apple
It was awful tasty medicine
But i guess the patient needed it sometimes lives is gone a hatyou in the head with a break
Don't lose face
I'm convinced that they are only thing that kept me going was that i love
What i did you've got to find what you love
And that is as true for your work as it is for your lovers
Your work is going to fail a large part of your life
And the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work
And the only way to do great work is too love what you do
If you hadn't found it
It keep looking and don't settle as with all matters of the heart
You'll know when you find it stop from here
So i don't really understand what means all matters of your of the heart is like mental problems is it
I don't know
Let's move on
And like any great relationship it just get better and better as the years were on
So keep looking don't settle okay
That's pause from here
The second story ends
And the second story monly tells us to find what you love
And if you love what you doing it is great work
And you conffine the passion of life
If you're doing great work
There's another point of view
I think if you really take what you love as the work
You're doing like the job
You're doing every day
But this does not mess you're really good at it
So there's a another view
That says we should find the same that we are really go that and so because you're good at it
So you can do make it easy
And if you take the same that makes you feel easy
And take it as a job
Your life will be happier
And you can doing what you love outside of job right
So it's just another point view
But whatever it is true that everybody should find the same that you really want to do
And you really love it
And it gives you the passion of your life
The enthusiasm of your life
That's really important
So let's move onto the third story
My third story is about death
We have a seventeen
I read a quote that went something like if you leave each day
As if it was your last someday
You will most certainly be right
It made an impression on me
And since then for the past thirty three years
I have looked in the murrow every morning and ask myself
If today was the last day of my life
What i want to do
What i am about to do today
And whenever the answer has been no for too many days in a row
I know i need to change something
Remembering that i will be dead
Soon it's the most important too that that have ever encountered to help me make the big choices in my life
Because almost everything all external expectations are pride on fear of embarrassment of failure
These things just fall away in the face of death
Leaving only what is truly important
Remembering that you're going to die
It's the best way
I know to avoid the trap of thinking
You have something to lose
You're already naked
There's no reason
Not to follow your heart about a year ago
I was diagnosed with cancer
I had a scan at said ent thirty in the morning
At it clear showed a tumor on my penquiies
I didn't even know what the penquies was the doctors told me
This was almost certainly a type of cancer
That is incincurable
And that i should expect to live no longer than three to six months
My daughter advies me to go home and get my fairs in order
Which is douor's code for prepared to die
It means to try to tell your kids everything
You thought you would have the next ten years to tell them in just a few months
It means to make sure
Everything is burned up
So that it will be as easy as possible for your family
So let's pause from here
The phrase bottom up means to make things well organize and well managed
Yeah
That's sure
It means to say your goodbye
I lived with that diagnosis all day later
Evenveni head a bipsea
Where they stuck an enle scope down my throat
Throw my stomach and into my intetestings
Put a needle into my panriies
And got a few sales from the tumor
I was stated by my wife who was there told me
That when they viewed the sales under a microscope
The doctor started crying
Because it turned out to be a very rare form of pancratic cancer
That is curable with surgery
Ahead of surgery and thankfully unfinal
Well we need to stop from here
Everybody knows that
Steve light
He was not cured
But i believe that
Although his body is weak
But his mentally strong
This was the closest
I've been to face in death
And i hope it's a clothes
I get for a few more decades haven't lived through it
I cannot say this to you with a bit more certainly than when that was unuseful but purely intellectual concept
No one wants to die
Even people who want to go to heaven
Don't want to die to get there
And yet that's is destination
We are share no one has ever escaped it
And that is as it should be
Because death is very likely the single best invention of life
It is life's change agent
It clears out the old to make way for the new
Right now the new is you
But someday not too long from now you will gradually become the old and be cleared away
Sorry to be so dramatic
But it is quite true
Your time is limited
So don't wasted living someone else life don't be trapped by dogma
Which is living with the results of other people thinking
Don't let the noise of other's opinions drawn out your own intervoice and most important have the courage to follow your heart and tuition
They somehow already know what you truly want to become everything else is secondary
When i was young
There was an amazing publication called the whole earthcatalogue
Which was one of the bibles of my generation
It was created by a fellow name steward brand not far from here in mano park
And he brought it into life with his poetic touch
This was in the late nineteen cities before personal computers and desco publishing
So it was all made with typewriters
Scissors and porporerate cameras
It was sort of like google in paper back form thirty five years before google came along
It was audealistic overflowing with new tools and great notions
Steward and his team put out several issues of the whole earth calogue
And then it had run its course
They put out a final issue that sephrases in this sentence first runlest course means to continue
Until it naturally finish on ends like the ill illness runs its course
The train runs its course
The relationship runs its course
The second one is put out
Put out
Me to publish our relief just easy
It was the miid nineteen seventies
And i was your age a backcover of their final issue
Was a photograph of an early morning country road
The kind
You might find yourself hitch hiking on if you were so adventurous beneath it or the words
Stay hungry
Stay foolish
It was their farewell message as they sign off
Stay hungry
Stay foolish
And i have always wishh that for myself
And now i still graduate to begin a new i wish that for you stay hungry
Stay foolish
Thank you all very much
While the speech family ends here
And in the next part
I will talk about steve jobs the soul of apple company
I mention that steve is a lucky person
But initially he's not luck at all he was adopted by a working class couple after being abandoned
Which means that he's not comes from a rich family
But fortunately as he said he found what he loves in a early stage
That is making personal computers with the art of design
And through doing what he reloves
He found the way or the goal of his life
And he has did the direction
And we can say still was fortunate enough
After especially he after he found it
Apple
He was a successful entrepreneur
Because i think most startufs will die in years
And apple survived and became the one of the wealest company in the world
And unfortunately later in his life
He passed away too early
Because of cancer so there are ops and downs in his life
But everybody do know that steve is crazy enough to change the world
So throughout the story
The three stories of steve jobs
I realized everyeverybody his
His heher own destiny
And everybody should follow his or her destinine by the guidance of the god in your face
You should have a face
God will give you power
And just to insist what you think follow your heart
Just give you the motivation to keep moving forward
Even at the times you are down and encountering some real challenges in your life
Just like sted jobs things happened
That couldn't get worse
Probably turned out to be useful in the future at some specific moments
And you will realize that the dots are connected at the moment okay
That's all for today's episode
And i hope you are motivated by this speech
And you can review the speech at a time that you are down
At the time that you anana give up
Take this as a motivation
And keep moving forward
Whatever bad things happened
Peace ce
See you next episode
