of Steve Jobs giving a speech at Stanford Commencement.
An inspiring speech by the Apple's CEO.
The most thoughts provoking statements is the quotes he quoted from a publication called The Whole Earth Catalog.
Maybe because I've just graduated as well. I feel especially inspired by these 2 simple statements delivered by Mr Steve Jobs.
In our life, it is important to
Stay hungry. Stay foolish.
Why then?
Stay hungry -
as we must be always have the hunger to acquire more knowledge and continue to learn as much as we can. Always strive for more success in our life.
Stay foolish - is to have the courage to do things that may seems stupid or silly to other people, but because of the belief we have, we know that we can make these things work out.
Another paragraph which strike me hard is as quoted below:
"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."
After some not-so-impressive summer signings.. (Brazilian keeper Diego Cavalieri (from Palmeiras), Swiss right-back Phillip Degen (Borussia Dortmund), Italian left-back Andrea Dossena (Udinese))
Finally Benitez has make a crucial signing..
Let me introduce to you all..
Miiisssster
Robbie Keane!!
Without doubt, I believe that Robbie Keane can form a lethal partnership with Torres.
A great movie highly recommended by Tan Zhiyang and Yikang.
I was hesitating whether to watch it or not because I afraid that it is too chim for me to understand this movie.
Nevertheless, I decided to watch it since I'm damn free right now.
I was glued to the screen when the movie start
. . .
After watching this movie, I gotta say that it is definitely a right choice to watch it.
Great acting by Emile Hirsch.
Catch it.
You wouldn't regret either.
Plot
A young man leaves his middle class existence in pursuit of freedom from relationships and obligation. Giving up his home, family, all possessions but the few he carried on his back and donating all his savings to charity Christopher McCandless (Emile Hirsch) embarks on a journey throughout America. His eventual aim is to travel into Alaska, into the wild, to spend time with nature, with 'real' existence, away from the trappings of the modern world. In the 20 months leading up to his Great Alaskan Adventure his travels lead him on a path of self-discovery, to examine and appreciate the world around him and to reflect on and heal from his troubled childhood and parents' sordid and abusive relationship.
When he reaches Alaska he finds he has been insufficiently prepared for the hardships to come. Despite making it through the winter his plan is ill-judged and prepares to return home in spring, only to find the stream he crossed in the snow has become an impassable raging torrent and that he is trapped. With no means of sustaining himself adequately he eventually starves to death in his so sought after isolation. Throughout his epic journey the people he meets both influence and are influenced by the person he is and bring him to the eventual and tragic realisation that "Happiness is only real when shared".
