Assignment #6 Steve Jobs' Talk

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UF8uR6Z6KLc


Five good words that I listened:

1. intuition: (knowledge from)an ability to understand or know something immediately based on                            your feeling rather than facts.

2. calligraphy: (the art of producing)beautiful writing, often create with a special pen or brush.

3. typography: the design of the writing in a piece of painting or on a computer screen.

4. entrepreneurs: someone who starts their own business, especially when this involves seeing a new                               opportunity.

5. intellectual: relating to your ability to think and understand things, especially complicated ideas.


I love these three stories because I think that Steve Job has his own ideas about his life. He didn't afraid that if he dropped out from school, his life will become difficult. Besides that, Steve Job knows that what should he do and he do it early in his life. We know that what shall we do but we afraid to do that because we afraid failure. I like his determination about somethings that he love to involved. He braves to try something that he think that he need to try and never give up! Lastly, facing his death, he'll not fear but face it bravely. Actually, I don't think that I have the same experience with Steve Job. I have a lot of dreams and I also hope that I'll fulfill my dream. However, I afraid to do it. I really fear of failure. So, from his stories, I think I must be more bravely to chase my dream without any hesitation. Life is short, if we not appreciate our time to do somethings meaning, we just waste our youth!

Assignment #5 Interesting English Song





Lyrics:

"What Are Words"


Anywhere you are, I am near
Anywhere you go, I'll be there
Anytime you whisper my name, you'll see

How every single promise I'll keep
'Cause what kind of guy would I be
If I was to leave when you need me most

What are words
If you really don't mean them
When you say them

What are words
If they're only for good times
Then that's all

When it's love
Yeah, you say them out loud
Those words, they never go away
They live on, even when we're gone

And I know an angel was sent just for me
And I know I'm meant to be where I am
And I'm gonna be

Standing right beside her tonight
And I'm gonna be by your side
I would never leave when she needs me most

What are words
If you really don't mean them
When you say them

What are words
If they're only for good times
Then they're done

When it's love
Yeah, you say them out loud
Those words, they never go away
They live on, even when we're gone

Anywhere you are, I am near
Anywhere you go, I'll be there
And I'm gonna be here forever more

Every single promise I'll keep
'Cause what kind of guy would I be
If I was to leave when you need me most

I'm forever keeping my angel close

Three words that I learned from this song:

1. whisper: to speak very quiet

                               She whispered somethings in his ear.

                               He gives her a single promise before he study aboard.



3. live on: (a money or somethings) that you buy or get it when you need it

                               I can live on my inheritance.







Comments:

I love this song because of its melody and also the lyrics. The lyrics is meaningful! This song is writing about his fiancee. His fiancee had an accident before their wedding. His fiancee soon became hemiplegia. He wrote this song to tell his fiancee that anywhere she been, he will always be there. I admire the singer that can wrote down their song by expressing their feelings in their own life. Of course this song made me cried every time when I listened. Besides that, the lyrics are also easy to understand. I think that lyrics can be easy and fulfill feelings and meaning are a good work to the writer.
