Reflections on Jobs' Speech: Connecting Points into Lines
Occasionally, I will turn to Steve Jobs' graduation speech at Stanford University, in which he told three stories. Among them, what impressed me the most was the first story he told: point connection.

Another story of dropping out of school. Compared with Bill Gates' strong family background, Jobs came from a more common language. He has neither a prominent family nor a rich family. Even after he was abandoned, he was adopted by his adoptive parents. And the only condition for his adoption is a family who went to college. However, he was not only poor, but also adopted by his parents who didn't go to college, but he was finally adopted. It's just that the adoption condition has become that he must go to college.

Ten years later, I was admitted to the university. But he dropped out of school. Because there is no hope at school, I don't know what to study, and my adoptive parents are not rich. The tuition alone consumed all my parents' savings. Although he dropped out of school, he did not stop studying, but chose the most advantageous course at Reed University. At that time, Reed University offered the best calligraphy course in America. In this university, every poster and every label in every drawer is beautiful handwritten calligraphy. Because he dropped out of school and didn't have to take those formal courses, I decided to take this course and learn how to write beautiful calligraphy.

It is this small decision that has created beautiful fonts in personal computers. Later, when I started my business, I designed everything I learned into the Mac. That was the first computer that used beautiful printed fonts. Windows also copied the Mac, so now there are great fonts on personal computers.

Although the story is very inspiring, only he knows the hardships and sorrows. Although it is a western story, it makes sense. As Zhang Ailing, a modern writer, said in Love in a Fallen City, your temperament hides the road you have traveled, the books you have read and all your experiences.

There is no road in life in vain, every step has its value, every step will always teach you something, and every step is accumulated in your memory and experience. Let it be, no matter what you encounter, you have to experience it. Every step has witnessed your growth and progress. Don't complain, don't give up, and you will eventually meet a better yourself in step by step progress.
