喬布斯離開人世後，迎來了各國人士對他沸沸揚揚的討論。其中褒貶不一。負面的評論認為，他的能力並非是一統天下，而最集中的批評莫過於他是一個缺少人情味，而且不做慈善的投機商人。

的確，人無完人。假如喬布斯是我生活中的一位友人，我可以斷定我絕對不贊成他的許許多多的做法。iphone也好， ipod也好，還有 ipad也好，大多數都是年輕人追捧的的玩藝。事實上，這些東西是否能真正地幫助他們成長，其實也是一個問號。

但我覺得對一個人的肯定應該是全方位的。對喬布斯的評價，也許你不能簡單地用“好人”或者是“善人”來評價他；也許他對社會的每一份貢獻都是出自於為自己的名和利；但是由於他的決策和領導能力，

在推動technology innovation 上，確實是有了不起的成就。 對社會，對人類的貢獻，絕對是功大於過。

下面我與大家分享一下老公的領悟：

I was reading Jobs' speech at Stanford, and he reminded me a lot of things we talked about. He had three points in his speech:

1) Connecting the dots:

"...you can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. 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. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life."

老公的心得： He did not know why some of the "bad" things happened to him and those things (dots) later impacted his life in a positive way.

For the two of us, as time goes by, as we look backwards in our lives of what we went through, everything then became clear that there was a purpose of some of the misfortune things to happen. Those dots were not clear and I might have complained back then. However, I am clear that the past created a positive effect on each of us. There is a plan after all.

2) Love and loss:

"The heaviness of being successful was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner again, less sure about everything. It freed me to enter one of the most creative periods of my life." "...like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking until you find it. Don't settle."

老公的心得：Steve said that a loss might mean a gain at the end. Starting all over cleanses the mind and bringing out the best creativity. I agree with his thinking because I experienced that myself. There is always a positive power behind each negative impact. As I started over as a beginner, I began hungry to be the best in every way. When I found you, when I found love, when I found happiness, life "gets better and better as the years roll on." What a visionary he was!

3) Death:

"... I asked myself: "If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?" And whenever the answer has been "No" for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something."

"Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else 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."

老公的心得：We live each day to the fullest, because we know the journey of life brings fulfillment and happiness one day at a time. How others live does not have no bearing on ones happiness；Worrying about the end will not affect the result.

 Sharing the everyday wonders with you has been the living of our dreams, and I have no regrets if we live each day like we have lived in the past together ---- Whether it is the last day does not matter any more。。。

May Steve rest in peace.
