Steve Jobs's (co-founder and CEO of Apple) speech and my experience

I have known Steve Jobs before and I also did some research about Apple and him. To be honest, I really appreciate Steve Jobs's speech. He mentions three stories in his life that are learning process, work process and death. All of these stories are good examples to teach us how to face troubles, future and death. There are two sentences impressed me a lot. The first one is "The only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believed is a great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do." , and the second one is "If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I about to do today. ". They are all excellent words!

My story

It's about 4 years ago, when i was in grade one high school. I enjoyed playing basketball very much but i can't play it very well at that time. I can shoot but that is it. Once a basketball match, I played for my class but not good at all. My mind and feeling was just like out of the match. I missed the ball and did air ball. Suddenly, one of my classmate came out and said:" Leon, you suck! Get out of this match! We don't want to loss because of you!" Yeah. Fine. I said to myself. I left the match and changed to another guy. However, I didn't give up! On the contrary, I practised playing basketball everyday, I wanted the fact to tell him that you're wrong. Finally, I did. I easilly scored in every games.
