Stay Hungry, Stay Foolish

Steve Jobs, Apple CEO gave Commencement Speech at Stanford University in June 2005. He talked about three storied in his life. His first story is about connecting the dots. He concluded that in our life we have to connect the dots looking forward at present, but it was very clear looking backward later. Again and again we cannot connect the dots looking forward so we believe our connected dots will lead us to the road to follow our heart confidently and then we might make the difference. In his case, if he never dropted out and dropted in on the calligraphy class, he could not creat beautiful typography in personal computer.

His second story is about love and loss. He said he was lucky to find the thing he loved to do. He and his friend started Apple in his father's garage when he was 20 years old. Later Apple became big suceeful company and he was fire when he turned to 30 years old. After that he kept to follow his love so he settled new company, NeXT. And then Apple bought Next so he has come to Apple. Now he is Apple CEO. He said that the only way to do the great work was to love what we did.

In his third story, he talked about death. "If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you'll most certainly be right.", this quote impressed him so every morning he asked himself "If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?". Besides, if the answers are always " I don't know what to do". He has to do some changes. He said that our time is limted so we have to listen our inner voices.

Apple CEO's words made me realize that I have to find the things I love to do. If not, I have to keep looking, but don't settle.

He ended his speech on powerful words in The Whole Earth Catalogue.

"Stay Hungry, Stay Foolish."

A forest

    I think that a forest is essential for humans. There are many types of plants in the forest. A forest is one part of plants, animals, and human. So I want you to know about a forest.

    A forest is a living community of plants in which tree is the dominant species. First, from a distance, the forest appears to be just big trees. As we come nearer, however, we see many small plants. Some of them are young trees. A few will eventually become giants. Shrubs, vines, herbs wild flowers and mosses also sprawl over the forest floor.

    Second, there are some other lives in the forest community as well. Birds sing from treetops, frogs peep on the ground, and grouses drum on fallen logs. Some creatures can be seen but not heard: a snake slithers for cover; caterpillars devour a leaf, and spiders wait on webs that glister in the sunshine. Plants and animals compete for living room, both above and below the surface of the ground. Finally, it is the joint activity of all living things of the forest as they live, grow, reproduce, and die-that makes for soil improvement.      

Hobby

What is your hobby? When ones have a spare time, they may have hobbies to do what they like or love. In my opinion, hobby is an activity that makes me relaxed and very happy. My favorite one is to sculpt clay to be cakes, burgers, fruits, and flowers (small mock-up). Initially, I sculpt clay as things I could imagine. After that I bought sculpture book; it has many sculpt things which looks real and so pretty. All can be useful things because I brought them to attach with clips, notebooks, and magnets. I like to make them from my imagination and some foods that I like and easy to do. After I could make many pieces of them, I sold them to my friends. Money! Money! Before making of clay, I used glue mixed with bread as clay, but they become mouldy. Then, I buy ready-made clay to prevent from mould even it is quite expensive. When I can’t find presents for friends’ birthdays, I make notebook attached with those sculpt things as my imagination for them. I try to make it colorful and real. I think it’s something very special for special person. And it can impress friends. Look at my photo, do you like them?

Person of the Year

Mark Zuckerberg is Time’s 2010 Person of the Year. He had created web service, Thefacebook .com for seven years ago when he was 19-year-old student at Harvard. His aim is to make the world more open and connected. Now he is Facebook CEO and facebook has about 550 million users.

“The Social Network” , the movie is about his life in Harvard and facebook. I have not seen this movie so no idea about it. He is genius to make his dream come true. Anyway, he donated his money to The Giving Pledge (campaign made by Bill & Melinda Gates and Warren Buffett to ask every billionaire in USA to donate their money).

Bill Gate (Microsoft), Steve Job (Apple), Larry Page & Sergey Brin (Google), the successful wealthiest individuals, could create the amazing and useful things for us since they were young. No matter whether you are young or old, you can reach your impossible dreams if you never give up.

Time magazine said about the genie that is out of the bottle. Facebook is the bottle and we are the genie. In my view, like magic all of us can do successful things for ourselves and by ourselves through hard work and perseverance.

Unluckily, I cannot have enough time to find my wish. At present, I do only I need with magic.

wedding day

Last Sunday was a very busy day, as it was my cousin's birthday. I had to wake up at 4 o'clock! and then got dress for an hour (I had to be as beautiful as myself could ^^) The wedding place was on Vipawadee-Rungsit Rd., When I got there the bride and the groom(my cousin) are ready. Then we started the wedding ceremony as the groom had to go to ask for the bride from her family. We made a procession of the groom's family (I stood at the front of the row, held the tray of money). Then waited for the bride's parent to come out at our procession, inviting us to get in the house. When the bride's parent allowed us for getting in the house then we got in and some of us were making some sound to let the bride's family know that we were coming. We had to give a money to the people who stood at the door (So many door to past) This so funny, they would let us get in when we give them the envelope with the money in it piece by piece until they were satisfied.(Actually at this point I wanna be the bride's cousin more than being the groom's cousin because I could get the money from the groom!!!!) After passing so many doors, we finally get in the house and I passed the tray of money to the bride's mother and then she gave me a money envelope!!! Wowww I got one too, it so nice! No matter which side you are, you also can get the money. Then the ceremony was carried on (So many thing to do I can't explain it all,too much detail) After finishing the wedding ceremony, it was a time to dress up (again). I wondered if we are the brides or not why we have to dress so much. But it the opportunity that you can get dress as beautiful as you could. I mean how many times that I can dress up like this in my whole life? So I was made up at the cosmetics counter( she took my eyebrow away, now I left just half eyebrow per side!!! what I gonna do with this? how can I go out with 2 half eyebrow?) After everything done, dressing and making up. I finally looked like aunty!! What a old woman in me? I looked older than my same age cousin. But nothing I can do more, just go on and let it go.....I'm not the bride anyway.

WIMUT’S SPORT DAY

Sport Day at Wimuttayarampittayakorn School is set up every year in December before celebrating Christmas. This year, in 2010, the competition of fun games had two days, on 8th – 9th, and there were four teams; red, blue, yellow, and green. It started with the colorful parades at the beginning of the first day. Every team wore beautiful costumes and presented the concept of teams by writing on labels. Red’s idea was to conserve Thai traditional. Yellow’s idea was about ASEAN. Blue’s idea was to conserve Thai culture and green’s idea presented how to reduce the pollution. I think their ideas are fantastic and smart. Then the games started, there were many types of sports such as basketball, volleyball, badminton, Sepak takraw, soccer, running, and tennis.
Every team had the same purpose, they would like to be the winner. They would like to be a champion but they could not success without an unity. I think an unity is the most important and valuable. Two days that they played games and spent time together by helping, talking and sharing the ideas taught them to forgive the mistakes and open mind to listen other’s ideas. They have worked in group and they are friends. They are the same blood, they are not red, blue, green or yellow but they are Wimuttayarampittayakorn. I had fun with them and they also did a good job.I am proud of them!
