Do What You Love

New words in this story

Notes: Ngày 12 -6 - 2015, Steve Jobs, nguyên đồng sáng lập và CEO của Apple, một trong những người đã làm thay đổi lịch sử công nghệ thế giới đã có một bài phát biểu tại lễ tốt nghiệp của đại học Stanford. Đây là một trong những bài phát biểu để đời và đáng nhớ nhất của ông.

On the morning of June 12, 2005, Steve Jobs had a speech at Stanford University. He prepared the speech very well. He often talked out loud when he walked around the house.

His speech is meaningful for a lot of people. It connects with millions of souls around the world. Steve’s speech is wrapped in three stories. But the second story, about love and loss, is seemed as the best one.

Steve Jobs said that he was lucky because he found his love at an early age of 20. He and his friend, Steve Wozniak, started Apple at 20 in his family’s garage. Nearly 10 years later, Apple became a billion dollar company, with over 4000 employees.

But that’s not the end. At the age of 30, Steve Jobs was fired from his own company because he and other members of manager teams have different opinions. After that, he did not know what to do for a few months. However, he realized that he still loved what he did. So he decided to start over. During the next five years, he started companies named NEXT and PIXAR.

PIXAR became the most successful animation studio in the world. And NEXT was bought by Apple. Then, Steve Jobs got a callback to his own company.

Today NEXT is the heart of Apple’s development. It helps Apple create the four operating systems. Those are MacOS, iOS, WatchOS and TvOS.

Let’s imagine. If Steve Jobs had not been fired from Apple, he would not have set up PIXAR and NEXT. He said: "Life will hit you in your head with a brick, but you must keep doing what you love because that will lead you to a bright future. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking."
