Steve Jobs resigned as a CEO of apple. This is a big news for me. I bought ipod, ipod touch, iPad, Macbook Air. Now, my life is not easy without those apple products. They now seep into my life. And not only those products, Steve Job's speech at the graduation ceremony at Stanford is also seep into myself. His speech was impressive. Especially the story about "connecting dots". That story reminded me who struggles which way to go and wonder where I am going. The story game courage that what I do now will connect to somewhere.
Yesterday, I read an article of a guy who works at Silicon Valley. He is 2 years older, and the fact that we are in the same generation gives me courage. His article was about Steve Job's "connecting dots" either. And as I read it, I noticed that Steve Jobs was saying the truce but didn't tell the really important part. He didn't do something randomly or recklessly. He did have a best choice he may have had, the choice that came from his instinct of experience and passion and sangfroid. And even after doing the best action, you'll never know where that dot connect to. This is the real interpretation of his story.
Now, reflecting back the acts I have made, I was a little different from this finding. I was placing dots which may connect to some dots with expectation, not real consideration or guesses. For example, I was practicing for TOEIC so much, that I thought the Toeic score will connect to somewhere fantastic, which is not. The most important thing is to choose the best choice for me, the best choice was to get the real English in academic context, that I realized when I was sophomore. However, even that Toeic practice is not useless. But the loss of that time could have created another dots which will connect to more fantastic dots, these regrets are the problem, and we have to learn from these, take best things out of them.
Steve Jobs, good job! You have given us the message that still requires some consideration after you resign. Thank you.
