Week 1

In class contribution

During the class we work a lot with the technique of talking, asking questions to "Steve Jobs" and saw a video of he in the Stanford University.
 



Steve Jobs

1.   Do you think that the first set of prospective adoptive parents who declined to adopt Steve Jobs because they wanted a girl ever came to regret their decision? Why or why not?

I think yes, because Steve Jobs was a genius and not to who have a genuis as son, he never give up always went a head despite the circumstances.

2.    Jobs tells his audience to “live each day as if it were your last.”  What do you think of that advice? Is it realistic for most people? If today were the last day of your life, how would you want to live it?

“LIVE DAY AS IF IT WERE YOUR LAST” is a complicated sentences because people can take it wrong away, for me is important live day as if it were my last for can be best person every day, give all the love  that I have for my child and work hard for my goals, trusting in God that if the last day I would come to his arms and could see loved ones that they already with He. 

3.    Which of the three stories that Jobs tells in his speech resonates with you the most? Why?

I liked the first story, connect the points with past experiences and everything will have a sense in the present. All human beings come into this world with a purpose, we can never stop dreaming and can never lose faith that the good is about to happen and that success depends on ourselves.

4.     What do you think about the following quote: “For the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself, “If today were the last day of my life, would 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’ll be dead soon is the most important tool I’ve ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. (Steve Jobs, 2005)”

I think it is not necessary to know that we are sick or dying to be able to créate change in our lives, in my opinion one should do things well always and never give up, always strive for dreams.

5.    How can you apply what you learned from the speech, in-class discussions and activities in both your personal and professional life?

I think the most important thing that learned and that left me this speech and seen in class is to be a persistent person, fighter,  someone who every day  out of the bed eager to eat the world, relying more every day  on God and give the best of me for to feel satisfied.
