https://padlet.com/teacherscribe/xzq5rl4dypka As you watch Steve Jobs' iconic Stanford Commencement Speech, write at least three take aways from it. What stands out to you in terms of following your passion? en-us 2019-04-12 18:22:27 UTC 2019-04-18 15:31:07 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.com/teacherscribe/xzq5rl4dypka/wish/351665577 1) Your beginning doesn't decide 
        your future.
           -Biological parents gave
             Steve up for adoption.
           - Struggled to get on his feet 
             in the beginning
2) Sometimes life sets you back 
      but don't let that discourage 
       you.
         - If you truly love your job, 
           discouragement will only 
           fuel your fire. (Never Settle!)
3)Death is the single best 
    invention of life.
       - Clears out the old to make   
           room for the new
       -We are the new but not for 
          long. Don't waste time do 
what you love!

Even Steve Jobs didn't know what he wanted to do with his life. Jobs dropped out from college and could then take classes that he liked. His plans changed as he went.
2. He started many companies after he got fired from Apple. He loved what he was doing, so he kept going and didn't settle. 
3. You need to keep going, even when life hits you. Follow your heart and intuition, they already know what you want to do. Do what you love. ]]> 2019-04-15 14:24:06 UTC https://padlet.com/teacherscribe/xzq5rl4dypka/wish/351665720 https://padlet.com/teacherscribe/xzq5rl4dypka/wish/351665779 1) If Jobs hadn't taken the leap and sat in on that calligraphy class because he was curious about it, the Mac would never have been as advanced and wouldn't with the fonts it had
2) His life started out rough, and yet he still grew up to be a very influential person. If he would've given up on apple, he never would've had the experiences he did. Can you imagine being the lawyer and his wife who decided they didn't want Steve Jobs?
3) "You've got to find what you love." Your job is a huge part of your life, and you want to be loving what you do. ]]> 2019-04-15 14:24:14 UTC https://padlet.com/teacherscribe/xzq5rl4dypka/wish/351665779 https://padlet.com/teacherscribe/xzq5rl4dypka/wish/351665829 1) Some things that don't seem useful - like calligraphy for Steve Jobs - end up being very important in the long run.
2) "It is impossible to connect the dots looking forward, but everything was very clear looking back." Have the confidence to follow your heart, even if you don't know where it will take you.
3) Times of hardship may lead to exciting things. None of Steve Jobs' success would have happened if he hadn't been fired from Apple the first time.]]> 2019-04-15 14:24:21 UTC https://padlet.com/teacherscribe/xzq5rl4dypka/wish/351665829 https://padlet.com/teacherscribe/xzq5rl4dypka/wish/351667022 1. One of his classes in college helped him make the first MacBook
2. He was fired because Jobs hired someone he thought he could trust. But when they had a falling out the board of Apple sidded with the other guy.
3. Getting fired from apple was the best thing that happened to him. Everything fell into place, he got married and started up two more companies.]]> 2019-04-15 14:27:08 UTC https://padlet.com/teacherscribe/xzq5rl4dypka/wish/351667022 https://padlet.com/teacherscribe/xzq5rl4dypka/wish/351667590 1)  Steve Jobs dropped out of college and lived in friends dorms, paying for food with the money he got from coke bottles. This ended up to be the best thing to happen to him because he sat in some classes that influenced the computers he made.
2) His mother gave him away, wanting him to be in a family of college graduates. His start to life was rough, but that didn't define him.
3) "Sometimes life is going to hit you in the head with a brick, you just have to keep going." Finding your passion will push you through the hard times.]]> 2019-04-15 14:28:32 UTC https://padlet.com/teacherscribe/xzq5rl4dypka/wish/351667590 https://padlet.com/teacherscribe/xzq5rl4dypka/wish/351672980 1. Jobs dropped out of college and still decided to continue going to classes. He went into a calligraphy class and because of that, when he started apple and was creating the Mac, he used what he learned from his calligraphy class. Because he dropped out of college he was able to find this opportunity.
2. He didn't have a great start to his life because of what happened with his adoption. His mother wanted him to go to a family where the parents had gone to college. That started an issue because they didn't.
3. He was also fired from the company that he started. Because of this happening he went on to start two other companies and eventually was back with apple. This would have never happened if he had never been fired in the first place.]]> 2019-04-15 14:41:33 UTC https://padlet.com/teacherscribe/xzq5rl4dypka/wish/351672980 https://padlet.com/teacherscribe/xzq5rl4dypka/wish/351730218 1) His mother put him up for adoption so he could have a better life. She wanted him to live a life with college graduates as parents. His adoptive parents were not college graduates, and Jobs real mother wouldn't sign the adoption papers. When they promised he would go to college. It doesn't matter where you are raised to be successful.
2) Dropping out of college was the best decision Jobs were made because he had to chance to take classes that interested him. 
3) You need to believe that the dots are going to connect and everything is going to work. If Jobs never dropped out he may have never made the MacBook.]]> 2019-04-15 16:56:41 UTC https://padlet.com/teacherscribe/xzq5rl4dypka/wish/351730218 https://padlet.com/teacherscribe/xzq5rl4dypka/wish/351812808 1. Jobs took classes like Calligraphy that seemed like could never be applied to a real job, but when he was creating the first Mac, he used what he learned in this class and put it into what he was creating. The Mac was then the first computer to have beautiful typography as an option. Small choices like taking a class that seems irrelevant can have major benefits later in life and in success.
2. "believing that the dots will connect down the road will give you the confidence you need to follow your heart even when it leads off the path." The road to success isn't paved through norms nor is the road that everybody takes. You have to believe that everything your doing now will lead you to where you want to be later.
3. Jobs was fired from apple, but it turned out to be the best thing that ever happened to him. He was able to move onto other things and become a beginner again. He created Pixar which was the first company to create the worlds first computer animated film. None of his later successes would have happened if he hadn't have been fired from apple. (Failures can lead to success)]]> 2019-04-15 21:05:48 UTC https://padlet.com/teacherscribe/xzq5rl4dypka/wish/351812808 https://padlet.com/teacherscribe/xzq5rl4dypka/wish/351818957 1. Steve Jobs took a calligraphy class in college, not really expecting it to help him. But in the end it did! it helped him when he was creating the Macbook. It was the reason that it was so advanced. 
2. His life started out not so great. He worked through that though and became one of the most influential people in history. Your upbringing is important, but its not everything. 
3. Sometimes the worst things turn out to be the best things. Like Jobs getting fired from apple. He was able to thrive and be way more creative and innovative than ever before. ]]> 2019-04-15 21:54:01 UTC https://padlet.com/teacherscribe/xzq5rl4dypka/wish/351818957 https://padlet.com/teacherscribe/xzq5rl4dypka/wish/351824618 1) The takeaway I got from the first story was that you may need to sacrifice in order to get where your goals are. Steve Jobs sacrificed getting a college education and taking classes that didn't interest him to begin dropping in on the ones that did interest him. He would sleep on friend's room floors, walk the seven miles. Dropping out of college gave Jobs the opportunity to take the calligraphy class that lead him to his success eventually. 
2) Steve Jobs got fired from Apple because his partner and him had a falling out. Most people would be devastated and give up, but not Jobs. This only motivated Jobs to continue on and start not only one but two business that both became successful. "Don't lose faith . . . I loved what I did, you got to find what you love and that is as true for work as it is for your lovers.
3) "your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life" Jobs wants people to have the courage to be able to follow your heart and intuition. ]]> 2019-04-15 22:37:41 UTC https://padlet.com/teacherscribe/xzq5rl4dypka/wish/351824618 https://padlet.com/teacherscribe/xzq5rl4dypka/wish/351855685 1. The first takeaway from this speech is that you can make something great from almost nothing. Jobs was adopted to parents who never even graduated college. They vowed to his biological mother that he would attend college and he did 17 years later. 
2. The second take away is that although Jobs life started out very rough, he grew through what he went though. His upbringing and how he reacted to the events in his life shaped him into the person he is today. And that person is a multi billionaire and CEO of multiple companies. 
3. The last takeaway from this TED talk is that because he was fired from Apple, he was able to grow from that experience and make something of his life. He didn't sit and dwell on the negatives, he used turned them into positives. ]]> 2019-04-16 02:19:19 UTC https://padlet.com/teacherscribe/xzq5rl4dypka/wish/351855685 https://padlet.com/teacherscribe/xzq5rl4dypka/wish/351857881 1. The first takeaway from this speech is that Steve Jobs mother put him up for adoption so that he could be raised by college graduates. Although his adoptive parents were barely even high school graduates, they promised his biological mother that he will go to college. He dropped out of college so he could drop in to the classes that he actually cared about. Some of these classes, like calligraphy, were useful in the making of the first Mac computer. It had beautiful typography. Every computer thereafter had the same type of thing.
2. The second takeaway is that even when Jobs was fired from Apple, he still loved what he did. His rejection was the best thing to ever happen to him. After being fired, he went on to create new companies including Pixar. Sometimes life will hit you in the head with a brick. Do not lost faith.
3. The third takeaway is that we should not be afraid to fail or be embarrassed. Live each day like it is your last and do the things that you will be proud to have done when the day does come. No one wants to regret choices when they die. Be proud. Take risks. You have nothing to lose. ]]> 2019-04-16 02:33:59 UTC https://padlet.com/teacherscribe/xzq5rl4dypka/wish/351857881 https://padlet.com/teacherscribe/xzq5rl4dypka/wish/351858923 1.) The first takeaway for me was that he created Apple, and was later fired. You would think that he would act like his life work got taken from him. Instead he made two new companies, and one of them got him back into Apple. While the other is the best in their industry.
2.) The second takeaway that I had is when he said "The only way to do great work is to love what you do. I think what he means by this is that you need to enjoy going to work everyday. However,  he doesn't say that it has to be your passion.
3.) My last takeaway is when he was talking about living everyday like it is you last because one day it will be. The part that I relate to living your life, following your passion, and doing what you live is the quote at the end. "Stay hungry, stay foolish."]]> 2019-04-16 02:42:23 UTC https://padlet.com/teacherscribe/xzq5rl4dypka/wish/351858923 https://padlet.com/teacherscribe/xzq5rl4dypka/wish/351864631 1. The first takeaway from Steve Job's speech is that even though he dropped out of college he was still able to become very successful. By dropping out it allowed him to sit in on classes that actually interested him. These classes turned out to be beneficial for him and helped him create the Mac computer.
2. The second thing I took away from his speech is that getting fired from Apple was the best thing that happened to him. He loved what he was doing so he continued with it and was able to start new companies. He states that "The only way to do great work is to love what you do."
3. The last thing I will take away from the video is the part where he talks about living everyday like it is your last. He found that "Remembering you're going to die is the best way to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose." So go after what you want and take some risks.]]> 2019-04-16 03:26:46 UTC https://padlet.com/teacherscribe/xzq5rl4dypka/wish/351864631 https://padlet.com/teacherscribe/xzq5rl4dypka/wish/351865260 1. " The worst thing that could happen might turn out to be the best thing that could happen."
- I strongly agree with this statement, but probably not for the reason he says it. Our mindset has a lot to do with how we process life. People who are very negative seem to have thing always going wrong, and people who are positive seem to have things off pretty well. I do not believe that this is coincidence. 

2.  "Don't let anything drown out your inner voice"
- Let your freak flag fly! Don't care about what people think of you. Wow. There is truth to that statement. If we were all to live life not caring worrying about fitting in, imagine all of the things we could get done!

3. Stay hungry. Stay foolish.
- These are very simple words, but I think very important. I think what Steve Jobs was trying to convey here it that it is okay to take risks and that we should be pushing to follow our intuition. In fact, he said every thing else is secondary to our intuition. ]]> 2019-04-16 03:32:07 UTC https://padlet.com/teacherscribe/xzq5rl4dypka/wish/351865260 https://padlet.com/teacherscribe/xzq5rl4dypka/wish/351872780 1. I thought it was interesting how when he took the calligraphy class he didn't think he would ever use it again but he ended up using it when he designed his first computer.
2. "You can't connect the dots looking forwards, you can only connect the dots looking backwards." 
- This is a really good reminder that things don''t always make sense right away, but they will fall into place eventually.
3. My last take away is the fact that he said getting fired from Apple was the best thing that happened to him because it gave him the chance to be a beginner again. I think that's a really good perspective to have. Just because one thing ends doesn't mean everything does, there's always new things to try.]]> 2019-04-16 04:26:58 UTC https://padlet.com/teacherscribe/xzq5rl4dypka/wish/351872780 https://padlet.com/teacherscribe/xzq5rl4dypka/wish/351944901 1) I found it interesting how he dropped out of school and felt like he didn't know what he was going to do as a career. I feel like a lot of students can connect with this. 
2) He had to have the confidence to do what he was talented at and follow his heart despite his situation. 
3) I was surprised that he was fired by his own company and instead of giving up he went on to two other company's and then he returned back to apple. he never gave up and continued to do great things even though things didn't go as planned. ]]> 2019-04-16 12:40:24 UTC https://padlet.com/teacherscribe/xzq5rl4dypka/wish/351944901 https://padlet.com/teacherscribe/xzq5rl4dypka/wish/351945023 1. I found it interesting how his life was able to be connected and put together by him trust that he was gonna be successful by dropping out of college. Even though his mother put him up for adoption so he could be raised by college graduate people. By him dropping out he was able to sit and listen to classes that he actually found interesting, and were going to help him succeed. 
2. My second takeaway was how he had different kinds of jobs throughout his early life that helped shaped him into the successful person he is now. 
3. Him being fired from apple was the best thing that could've happened to him. He went on to make pixar then go back to apple. He was able to reshape himself as a person]]> 2019-04-16 12:40:53 UTC https://padlet.com/teacherscribe/xzq5rl4dypka/wish/351945023 https://padlet.com/teacherscribe/xzq5rl4dypka/wish/351957585 1. I thought it was very interesting that when he took his calligraphy class, not expecting it to help him at all, it actually benefitted him when he was making the first mac!
2. Dropping out college actually benefitted him greatly because he was able to take classes that he actually liked instead of classes that he hated. This stands out to me as he followed his passion instead of taking mundane classes that he didn't feel benefitted him
3. The last thing I thought was interesting was the fact that he said being fired from apple was the best thing that happened to him. Something like that would be life changing, and it would be hard to accept, but he said it was a chance for him to be a beginner and start over. This is an example of the amazing mindset he has, where he sees that if something ends, something new begins.]]> 2019-04-16 13:19:12 UTC https://padlet.com/teacherscribe/xzq5rl4dypka/wish/351957585 https://padlet.com/teacherscribe/xzq5rl4dypka/wish/352454907 1. I found it interesting when he said that you can't connect the dots looking forward, you can only connect them when looking back.

2. The fact that he got fired from is own company amazes me! He didn't let that failure stop him, he kept going and started more very successful businesses. 

3. He reminds himself that he is going to die each day. He says that he reminds himself of that because it makes the big decisions easier to make. ]]> 2019-04-18 00:40:17 UTC https://padlet.com/teacherscribe/xzq5rl4dypka/wish/352454907 https://padlet.com/teacherscribe/xzq5rl4dypka/wish/352585900 1. I thought it was interesting that this was the closest he had ever got to a college graduation. 
2. the next thing was the connecting the dots looking back, you can not do that looking forward. I think i can relate to some of this.
3. I love how he talks about stumbling into things that were useful. one being calligraphy. 
4. many of the things that happened to him reminds me of our speaker, Barb, because she talked about taking open doors when others close.]]> 2019-04-18 15:24:05 UTC https://padlet.com/teacherscribe/xzq5rl4dypka/wish/352585900
