[NTU KM (Apple Team)]

Dear all, i just submitted our 'reflection on SJ's speech', pls refer
to the belowing.....


Dear Prof Kan

The below is our reflection on Steve Jobs's speech for your reference:

1. Maintain intellectual curiosity and keep on learning.

2. Learning is multi-dimensional and represents a synthesis of
knowledge
We often rely on our cumulative experiences when solving problems. For
e.g., Steve Jobs relied on his understanding of
aesthetics in the design of the first GUI and typeface for Mac. Other
e.g. Graphs, flash videos, brainstorming maps, etc,.

3. Learning isn't limited to formal education.
Learning can occur anywhere, anytime and with/from anyone. In other
words, life in itself can constitute learning.

4. Adopt a reflective state of mind and be true to yourself by
asking:
"Who am I?", "Where am I going?" and "Am I on the right path?".
Don't stray from your passion.

5. Maintain a sense of urgency in life by staying true to your
passion
and not to waste a minute of it doing things that you don't truly
believe in.

6. Rejections, challenges or failures in life are to expected.
E.g. Steve Jobs dropped out of college, got ousted from Apple sometime
in his career,
contracted a rare form of curable pancreatic cancer etc. without ever
succumbing to these
challenges. In other words, we should adopt a more optimistic outlook
in life and use time
wisely to better ourselves rather than wallow in self-pity in the face
of difficulties.

7. Pursue your passion by following your heart. Don't settle.
Steve Jobs said, "I had no idea what I wanted to do with my
life..."
when he was 17.
Didn't that sound too familiar?
Just look around. There could be many more (possibly much older
than 17!) people saying the same.
The young Steve who made the statement then is now the Steve Jobs
as we
all know him to be.
One big question: How is Steeve Jobs DIFFERENT from those
people?
When confronted with Life's choices, Steve Jobs was (and I
believe he
still is) true, courageous and faithful to himself. Most people are
not!
I find Steve Jobs and his 3 stories very inspiring. He was very
unlike
most people... Never mind what others think or say... It's all
about...
PURSUE YOUR PASSION. FOLLOW YOUR HEART. BE TRUE TO YOURSELF


Thanks
