On tasting life's bitterness and bliss

“Life is bliss, taste it; life is a challenge, meet it; life is too precious, do not destroy it.” - Life Is.. by Mother Theresa

     Our pasts are bounded by moments that gradually became memories, and this, in turn, would be worth sharing. These memories could entertain other people and inspire them to patronize eagerness as well.

     Life is such a challenge to all of us, as well as to prominent individuals in the business industry. Through his speech in a commencement exercises, Steve Jobs shared a handful of anecdotes which implored me. It is like a book of advice from a person who had tasted a dose of bitter-sweet medicine in the depths of his life.

     Abysses are normally part of an escape plan to be free from problems. People nowadays resort to suicide as their hopes in finding peace. However, the speech offered a concrete plan of surviving life and discovering its wonders: find what you love. Don’t settle because you will find it gradually. It is through it that everything will follow. It is our passion and not just simply job. In addition, due to the pursuit of human to finding success swiftly, the competition just got better and those impatient ones give up. Nevertheless, life is about discerning the future through connecting the past like connecting the stars.

     It is in life that we find ourselves up for the challenge. However, the speech made me realize that life is not just about going through the needle hole, it is also about how you live it. Steve Job’s gave his readers/audience a handful of advice in valuing life and caring for its essence. I was touched by those three stories and by reading it, it gave me a glimpse of living a life like a wheel. Though it is hard, it is great. Most importantly, the speech gave an overview of time’s value towards our lives. Time which had past can be called history and the present is but another challenge on how we are going to live it.
