『    You can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backward.

So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future.

You have to trust in something — your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever.

Your work is going to fill 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 to love what you do.

Don’t settle. Your time is limited, 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.

Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish.        』

From Steve Jobs’ Talk

JUNE 14, 2005

'You've got to find what you love,' Jobs says

This is a prepared text of the Commencement address delivered by Steve Jobs, CEO of Apple Computer and of Pixar Animation Studios, on June 12, 2005.

I feel that Jobs said the three life stories are great, so I have a lot of inspiration.

No matter what difficulties and failures, or the success of things are very important life experience.

"Failure is the mother of success" Continuously failing and continually experimenting that one day will succeed.

As the language of learning, from all do not understand to understand, are to continue to listen, constantly say, constantly read, constantly write, repeated practice.

Why I likes the song?

I sometimes listen to English songs.

I choose this song from《 https://personalexcellence.co/blog/inspirational-songs/3/》.

The rhythm of the song sounds light and fun and makes people feel very relaxed.

The original singer of this song has a baby face, wearing strange clothes, a bit like the Lady Gaga.

By One Voice Children's Choir singing is more of a happy feeling, very nice.

『“True Colors” is about not feeling fearful or small and showing who you really are to the world.

“True colors” mentioned in the lyrics is an analogy to the colors of the rainbow.

 By revealing your true self, you reveal your real beauty.』by Celes

(2)  your comments on it. (free in length).

I feel that this podcast is very easy to use, you can know how foreigners to chat in English.

Just started playing when I totally do not understand, until the seventh time , play the eighth times to understand some, so I would like to play more times, listen to more times to fully understand what they talk about the content.

I think the advantages of this site can be repeated to play, no matter what time and what location, as long as there is free to play to listen to, and audio content is interesting, the atmosphere is more relaxed, hear no boring and do not want to sleep , There are two female host to speak clearly, hear very clearly.

Disadvantages are no subtitles and movies, so can not control the reading.

# 4 Six Minute English

I choose “Does your CV shine？” from BBC LEARNING's  6 minute English video to be my topic.  I want to know how the curriculum vitae is shine.

Overview：

The jobs market is very competitive - especially when the economy is struggling. Some people go to great lengths to attract the attention of potential employers. Rob and Neil talk about what makes a good CV.

This week's question:

When you go for a job interview, how long do you have on average to make a good enough impression for an employer to hire you? Do you have...

(A) Less than 3 minutes

(B) Less than 5 minutes

(C) Less than 10 minutes

The correct answer is actually less than 10 minutes, so you'd have a little bit longer. Jobseekers have on average just six minutes and 25 seconds during the first meeting to impress potential employers.

I think Corinne Mills(MD - Personal Career Management) said this sentence is very wonderful 『You've got to be confident! I mean, if you are not confident about your skills and abilities, then why should an employer have faith in you? So, don't be modest. This is your opportunity to really show your skills and experience and what a great performer you're gonna be in the job.』.
