The thing that really had a great insight on me, was the graduation speech Steve Jobs held to the graduated students. There were a lot of wise words in it. I think that most of it was true, for example: if you look at yourself every morning and ask yourself am I happy with what I am doing? And the answer is no for a couple of days in a row, you need to change something. I completely agree to that quote, because it is important to love what you do, in that way you’re being more productive. Never give up was a summary quote that stacked around my head a while as well from Steve Jobs. It basically comes down to the obstacles life has reserved for you, and that you never have to give up. Because when times passes by, there will be even greater things in life which you will enjoy more. When one door closes, another one opens. So just go with the flow, don’t let anyone tell you it isn’t possible. Maybe they tell you it isn’t possible because they can’t manage it, this term by the way is called a hater.

Unfortunately, the bumperquote stickers didn’t had a great effect on me. I have quotes saved on my laptop as well, but I like the ones that have motivational or inspirational stuff in it. When I read those quotes (from athletes as well) the feeling of reaching my goal rises in a huge amount. But I think that bumpersticker quotes can inspire people as well. I am just not that kind of person..

Making the masterplan was cool, I never saw my goals and stuff like that on paper before, so it motivated me to reach them as well. It was a great way to have an insight on the things I wanted to do. A few years ago I couldn’t imagine myself being in the position I am now, I wasn’t serious about stuff and didn’t cared about school at all. Now, when I am noticing the things I am achieving, I am very glad that I turned around and started to work for everything. Hard work pays off and I think Steve Jobs told that in the video as well. Again, you never need to give up. No one will hit as hard as life, but it’s not of how much you can have, but it’s about moving forward, getting hit and moving forward (this is by the way a quote of Sylvester Stallone in the movie Rocky, which by the way of the by the way is a very good series of movies).

With everything said, I think the most important impression I got from the class was that everybody has a talent, and you need to find a way to develop that talent you have. It is very important to do this, because a talent is like a skill you owned from the beginning, it has been there from the beginning so you better use it to achieve whatever you want in life.
