The commencement speech of Steve Jobs focuses on his story in life together with his success and failure. Jobs really have a great story in life. Even he was successful but he was been undergone failure but still, he strive to achieve the dreams again. I learned many lesson while I was reading the speech. It was such a nice speech that I have ever read. These are the lessons that I had learned:

Exclamation Reach for your dreams. When you fail in your career, do not stop. Reach for your dreams again and make sure that you already know what to do and become a successful one. No matter what happen, just keep reaching it. I do believe that people will not be dreaming of those things which they know that they can’t do it. Everything that we dream for are possible. You just only need to discover yourself and find ways on how to make your dreams come true. Everybody wants to be happy, and in order to be happy you must achieve your dreams even it is simple.
Don’t make your failure be a hindrance for success. When failure strike at you, don’t make this as a hindrance for your success, instead make this as an inspiration to reach your dreams and goals in life. You already know what to do to face this failure. Like Steve Jobs, was been a drop out in college but he didn’t serve this as a failure instead he made this as a great history to his life that changes his whole life. Everytime you have a failure, a new opportunity awaits you. That’s why you should see it as a hindrance but see it as a way to make a new opportunity in life.

Exclamation Always be prepared and ready. As what have Steve Jobs said, “No one wants to die”. Yes, all of us in here do not really want to die, but just want to be prepared before they die. Just think that this would be the last day of your life. I am also prepared now if this thing would happen to me, but I don’t want to die. I need to show the things to my love ones that I really love them. For me, its not yet enough, what I am showing to them. But still I am trying to show the best that I can.

Exclamation Keep Believing. Always believe in yourself. Love the things that you have done, no other people knows know you but only yourself, that’s why you should believe that you can achieve your dreams in life. Be strong to face the challenges that come in your life. Who knows, you will be the one of the successful and famous man. It’s not the matter of how many failures that you have but it’s the matter of success that you achieve. Steve Jobs also failed even he is in his highest point of success. But still he believes in his self. He achieves his dreams already, and it’s easy for him to achieve his success in his new beginning of life.

Exclamation Never surrender. Why should you surrender in the trials that you have? Surrendering is not an option it’s a matter of choice. If you choose to surrender, it means that you do not believe yourself. Never surrender. Everything is possible and you should not surrender for it is possible to achieve your dreams and goals in life. If you already enter in that situation, you know that you can do it. If you surrender, you’re like saying that your dreams are impossible to achieve. There’s a time to surrender, but as long as you can keep yourself never to surrender, go for it.

Exclamation Strive hard. All of the things that you have can’t only achieve in just a blink of an eye, but you should strive for it. Every hard works do have an exchange of a good thing. Think of all those things that you know would have a great benefit in you. Just consider Steve Jobs, he strives hard. He didn't have a dorm room, and just slept on the floor in his friends' rooms. He just returned coke bottles for the five cent deposits to buy food with, and he would walk the seven miles across town every Sunday night to get one good meal a week at the Hare Krishna temple. This only means that he works hard in order to live to the fullest.

Exclamation Time is limited. Yes, it’s true that time is limited; you would not know that today or just an hour or maybe just a couple of minutes your life will be lost. That’s why you should live in order to make yourself satisfy. Steve Jobs said “So don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma -- which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.”

Exclamation Love Your Work as You Love Yourself. Your work play a significant role in your life. Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the way to make it satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And to make your work to be great, the only thing that you must do is to love it. Just keep looking on this work where you will love it. It is really important that you will be able to make your work a good start for your success. The speech of Steve Jobs that make me realize to love a work is “And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking -- and don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it. And like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking -- don't settle.”
Exclamation
