乔布斯离开人世后，迎来了各国人士对他沸沸扬扬的讨论。其中褒贬不一。负面的评论认为，他的能力并非是一统天下，而最集中的批评莫过于他是一个缺少人情味，而且不做慈善的投机商人。

的确，人无完人。假如乔布斯是我生活中的一位友人，我可以断定我绝对不赞成他的许许多多的做法。iphone也好， ipod也好，还有 ipad也好，大多数都是年轻人追捧的的玩艺。事实上，这些东西是否能真正地帮助他们成长，其实也是一个问号。

但我觉得对一个人的肯定应该是全方位的。对乔布斯的评价，也许你不能简单地用“好人”或者是“善人”来评价他；也许他对社会的每一份贡献都是出自于为自己的名和利；但是由于他的决策和领导能力，

在推动technology innovation 上，确实是有了不起的成就。 对社会，对人类的贡献，绝对是功大于过。

下面我与大家分享一下老公的领悟：

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.
