Day 2(October 5, 2010)

Today, I went on a company visit to IBM UP-Ayala Technohub. I learn about there company they are helping us to build a smarter planet. The primary focus of there corporate citizenship activities is on developing initiatives to address specific societal issues, such as the environment, community economic development, education, health, literacy, language and culture. They employ IBM's most valuable resources, there technology and talent, in order to create innovative programs in these areas to assist communities around the world.

What I like in IBM is they are willing to help and support people want to start business. Without knowing where they get the money, offices and workplace for there business. But IBM has their limitation to help investors to start business. If you want to be helped by IBM for your business, of course your business proposal should be idealistic and something that high-tech. The kind of help and support that IBM can give to investors that want to start business is they provide offices and workplace for limited days but enough days and enough time. I’m not sure if they are willing to be borrowed there materials and equipments to the investors. And they are willing to finance business.

I like IBM, because IBM is one of the big tax payers. In fact they got a reward from the government, because of paying tax updated. I like them because they provide jobs to our countrymen. And every years there people increase. There manpower increases. As our speaker from IBM tell us.

What I didn’t like to IBM they didn’t tour us in there hole building. They only tours us in their conference room, and then they show us their database, and then show us there few rooms for the investors to occupy for free.

Day 5(October 8, 2010)

Today, I went on a company visit to MMDA. What I learn in MMDA is the stationary video camera they put in the roads. Are very useful and it having many uses. Its use to monitor road activities like traffic and unexpected event in the road. And also it uses to monitor the typhoon, to monitor the water level in the road.

What I like in MMDA is that, there video camera because it’s very useful. They are not only monitor the road traffic or road activities. They also monitor weather, such as typhoon like what I’ve seen in video that they monitor the typhoon named “undoy”. It clearly in there monitoring that the water is so fast increasing. So, see? How useful there video camera. What I like in MMDA also is there technology to monitor the road activities. Its high-tech also and they have a featured plan which they add more or advance more there video camera. I like also those guys who monitor the screen or computer. Because I think those guys are fresh graduates. They inspire us to finish our course.

What I didn’t like in MMDA is there buildings for me it’s too small for a government company who are very useful to the Filipino. And technology although its high-tech but it is not enough or lack of unit to accommodate metro Manila.

Day 5(October 8, 2010)

Today, I went on a company visit to TTI. I learn about TTI is about the Agila2. Is 10kw of on-board power, is one of the most powerful satellites serving the Asia Pacific region. It is a typical three-axis stabilized satellite, whose modular design that proven its worth during more than 20 years of cumulative on-orbit service amassed by ss/l satellites to date. And I learn that Agila2 is the first Filipino satellite.

What I like in telecom training institute is the technology high tech, even thou building is too old. They have a complete technology in communication and they are updated to it. What I like also is the speaker of telecom training institute because he shares to us his knowledge to communication technology step by step. And also he gave us a simple sample so that we understand his point so that we can clearly understand. I like them also because they allow us to take picture.

What I didn’t like to telecom training institute is there building, for me it’s too old. That people may think is inside telecom training institute, the technology they use also is old because the building is old.

Day 2(October 5, 2010)

Today, I went on a company visit to SeaChange. I learn about SeaChange is they Partnering with cable, telecommunications, broadcast, and satellite companies worldwide, the company has enabled one ‘sea change’ after another. SeaChange’s initial focus, to solve the challenges in multi-channel advertising, led it to deliver digital ad insertion to the cable industry. Building on that success, SeaChange became a world leader in deploying the infrastructure necessary to deliver Video on Demand.

What I like in SeaChange is their unique technology. What I understand to their technology is like a cable, but the use of their technology you can choose a movie, you can stop, you can pause and play again. And the payment you pay to them is only the movie you choose or you watch. Unlike the cable you pay it fix. I like them also the way they welcome there visitors. They gave time to us to explain and tour into their building. I like them also because they allow us to take pictures.

What I didn’t like to SeaChange is their office it’s not well arranged. And they have no uniform. I can’t identify where the boss is and where the worker is.

What can I recommend for the improvement of the fieldtrip and seminar program?

What can I recommend for the improvement of the fieldtrip and seminar program, is to add more day and more company to visit if possible. So that they can experienced more day to live in metro manila and many famous places in Luzon part they have to go. And of course they have many company to visit, that can help to their course.

And I also recommend that if possible all third year students can joined the fieldtrip and seminar so that more enjoy and less money to spend for the travel.

I recommend also doing their fieldtrip and seminar program as a team like us.

My advice to those who will take their fieldtrip and seminar program in the future…

My advice to those who will take their fieldtrip and seminar program in the future is they take their fieldtrip and seminar program in Luzon part, more technology because there are many company to visit there. A company that can help us to our course. And of course to experience to live in Metro Manila to those who not yet went there. I hope that next fieldtrip and seminar program you can went also to the place and company where are visited. And if possible you add more our experienced when we are there such as add company to visit and the days to explore the world of technology.

And if possible all of the third year can join the fieldtrip and seminar program so that more enjoy and not too costly to those who join. And I hope the next officers of the future are very honest and very responsible like our officers on our time. And to those who join fieldtrip and seminar program in the future should do the business as teamwork.

Hope that next and future fieldtrip and seminar program are more successful and more enjoy.

Day 1(October 4, 2010)

Today, I went on a company visit to Bayantel. What I learn in Bayantel is how to the internet, then sending my friends and family message much or more fun and faster if I used Bayantel, As the speaker told us.

What I like in Bayantel is that, the content of the slide presented us from the speaker. They show two kinds of slides. The first slide is about the company, the Bayan Telecommunication shows us how convenient and how and how fast Bayan Telecommunication gives service to the Filipino. They find ways in order to communicate our love ones in many good terms. Such us low transaction fee, fast, convenient and etc... Where ever you are, you may in the Philippines or in abroad. They find more and search more for high-tech communication technology. And the second slide they present us is about the way they manage Bayan Telecommunication, How to connect the communication from any point of the Philippines such as Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao. I like three building there conference room and there monitor room. I didn’t see the whole room for monitoring because, maybe for security reasons, but the way I see in the transparent glass it is nice.

What I didn’t like in Bayantel is the way they welcome us, they left us outside their building with no entertain us with the rays of the sun. And we wait them for more than 30 minutes. What I didn’t like also is the speaker, because for me he is not sure of his report or he is not ready for his report. Some of our questions he didn’t answer cause maybe he is not the one given the task to meet us.

Day 3(October 6, 2010)

Today, I went on a company visit to SSS. What I’ve learned from SSS that a life or individual are very important. So we secure our life in the future the thru SSS membership. And they also have other problem that able to help our countrymen. Such as livelihood programs and etc…

What I like in SSS is that, the way they welcome us a very, very warm welcome to us. From the gate to the building well entertained. They treat us very important visitors. They all ready to entertain us, they answer all questions about their database, there anti-virus about SSS. And they answer all that. And they also provide us snacks the main event. They tour us in the production of SSS I.D. which is very high-tech. they tour us in tracing thumb marks. Which there are many cases they caught a person use other thumb mark to fake? They tour us in there very, very nice and beautiful museum. I like there building very big well arrange. But the speaker from SSS said that this building is not enough to accommodate more customers. Maybe it is true because it’s the main. I like also their museum very, very nice and beautiful. There all memories are in there, in the museum there plate number of SSS. The president and etc… that people remember from the past.

What I didn’t like is SSS is that, there I.D. production. Because one of our speakers tells us the truth, that there machine for I.D. production, most are in bad condition. But SSS don’t say it to the public, because maybe to avoid some issue.

Day 4(October 7, 2010)

Today, I went on a company visit to PLDT. What I learn in PLDT is that facing with sweeping changes in technologies and market trends, telecommunications companies worldwide need to reinvent themselves by creating innovative products and services and collaborating with companies outside of the traditional telco space.

What I like in PLDT is that, they give us warm welcome to the visitors, us. They invite us to join their team if we finished our studies, our course. They said we are very welcome to join their team. PLDT tour us to their building, to their offices, conference room and to their little museum. They teach us how PLDT communicate to other companies. Like bank and other government groups such as hospitals. What I like in PLDT also is their building nice and big. Well arrange and well maintained. There conference room is very big.

What I didn’t like is that, the speaker delivers us his report in a very high level. If the speaker is in level 10 we are in level 2. Some of the terms speaker use is in the high level and we can’t understand well. What I didn’t like also in PLDT is they didn’t allow us to take pictures inside their building. Where for me that’s our main reason to go there to learn about their company and to got a picture or there technologies and gadgets and etc…

Day 3(October 6, 2010)

Today, I went on a company visit to AST1 and UP Diliman. What I learn from UP Diliman is the applications development track, network systems track and embedded systems track. In the applications development track we learn how to develop software projects that conform to the I.T. industry’s software engineering best practices. In network systems track we learn how to design and implement local area network (LANs) and wide area network (WANs) as well as how to configure network devices. And also embedded systems track as well as.

What I like in ASTI is that they invent new technology for the Filipino and made by Filipino. Like they make a tsunami detector which is a very useful technology for PAG-ASA and ASTI develop a technology, software and etc… for us, students. What I like also in ASTI is that, they tried to answers all our questions, even if some to our classmates is too far from the topic.

What I didn’t like in ASTI is that, they didn’t show us there product. What I mean I didn’t see their real product I see their product thru pictures only. What I didn’t like also in ASTI is that, the first presenter which there answers are not so sure. They always look each other if we have questions. In part of us them also doubtful for their answers.

business proposal

For me I have many businesses to go through. But if I have a business I want that a sure money, although it has a small income. But surely the investment and the business will roll properly and run very well. And if I choose a business, I choose a business that I have knowledge on how to roll to roll it and run it very well. So that I know how much the material cost for it, the labor I pay for the laborer, where to buy the most quality but not expensive material, and as much as possible I have an experience on how to do it or how to make it and how to dispose it. I choose a business that the product can’t spoil, so that even though you can’t find a client and costumer for it. It can’t waste.
If I have a business I’m the one who personally manage it. So that I know my personnel’s, I can control them well, and so that I know the capacity of my manpower. So that I know if the business that I’ve choose is good or bad, so that I know how much the expenses. And the reason that’s why I want to manage my own business, because I want that I’m sure that the one who manage my business have much knowledge and it has an experience on that field of business.
But before that I show my business proposal. I define what business…is.

Business, organized approach to providing customers with the goods and services they want. The word business also refers to an organization that provides these goods and services. Most businesses seek to make a profit—that is, they aim to achieve revenues that exceed the costs of operating the business. However, some businesses only seek to earn enough to cover their operating costs. Commonly called nonprofits, these organizations are primarily nongovernmental service providers. Examples of nonprofit businesses include such organizations as social service agencies, foundations, advocacy groups, and many hospitals.

There are many types of businesses in a free-market economy. The three most common are (1) manufacturing firms, (2) merchandisers, and (3) service enterprises.

(1) Manufacturing firms
Manufacturing firms produce a wide range of products. Large manufacturers include producers of airplanes, cars, computers, and furniture. Many manufacturing firms construct only parts rather than complete, finished products.
(2) Merchandisers
Merchandisers are businesses that help move goods through a channel of distribution—that is, the route goods take in reaching the consumer. Merchandisers may be involved in wholesaling or retailing, or sometimes both.

A wholesaler is a merchandiser who purchases goods and then sells them to buyers, typically retailers, for the purpose of resale. A retailer is a merchandiser who sells goods to consumers. A wholesaler often purchases products in large quantities and then sells smaller quantities of each product to retailers who are unable to either buy or stock large amounts of the product. Wholesalers operate somewhat like large, end-product manufacturing firms, benefiting from economies of scale.

(3) Service enterprises
Service enterprises include many kinds of businesses. Examples include dry cleaners, shoe repair stores, barbershops, restaurants, ski resorts, hospitals, and hotels. In many cases service enterprises are moderately small because they do not have mechanized services and limit service to only as many individuals as they can accommodate at one time. For example, a waiter may be able to provide good service to four tables at once, but with five or more tables, customer service will suffer.

For me choose merchandisers first but if I have no enough money to produce a product I want to proceed to manufacturing firms, because the division between retailing and wholesaling is now being blurred by new technologies that allow retailing to become an economy of scale. Telephone and computer communications allow retailers to serve far greater numbers of customers in a given span of time than is possible in face-to-face interactions between a consumer and a retail salesperson. Computer networks such as the Internet, because they do not require any physical communication between salespeople and customers, allow a nearly unlimited capacity for sales interactions known as 24/7—that is, the Internet site can be open for a transaction 24 hours a day, seven days a week and for as many transactions as the network can handle. For example, a typical transaction to purchase a pair of shoes at a shoe store may take a half-hour from browsing, to fitting, to the transaction with a cashier. But a customer can purchase a pair of shoes through a computer interface with a retailer in a matter of seconds.
Computer technology also provides retailers with another economy of scale through the ability to sell goods without opening any physical stores, often referred to as electronic commerce or e-commerce. Retailers that provide goods entirely through Internet transactions do not incur the expense of building so-called brick-and-mortar stores or the expense of maintaining them.
So being an I.T. student it is easy for me to advertise the product that I want to retail to the public. Cause I have a little knowledge of website, on how the public can virtualized the product that I want to retail. Unlike to manufactures I have no enough money to produce a product, because as a student only allowance is in my pocket. But as I said a while ago if I have enough money to produce a product I want that I am the one who make my own products. And I can say that maybe I have a little knowledge on this merchandising, because I experience that I retail a product, Sandals. Because I am a working student and I work in a sandal factory. And sometimes I told my friends that I have sandals to sell. And aside that the sandals that I retail am have a good quality it is also not expensive. Some of my friends buy it, some of my friends also said that next time. So maybe if I start for being a merchandiser, I have a chance to save money so that I can make m own business.
There are a number of different forms of business ownership. These include (1) sole proprietorships, (2) partnerships, (3) corporations, (4) joint ventures, and (5) syndicates.
(1) Sole proprietorships

The most common form of ownership is a sole proprietorship—that is, a business owned by one individual. These businesses have the advantage of being easy to set up and to dissolve because few laws exist to regulate them. Proprietors, as owners, also maintain direct control of their businesses and own all their profits. On the other hand, owners of proprietorships are personally responsible for all business debts and, because they are constrained by the limits of their personal financial resources, they may find it difficult to expand or increase their profits. For those reasons, sole proprietorships tend to be small, primarily service and retail businesses.

(2) Partnerships
A partnership is an association of two or more people who operate a business as co-owners. There are different types of partners. A general partner is active in the operation of a business and is liable for all of its debts. In small businesses with only two or three owners, all typically will be general partners. A limited partner, by contrast, invests in a business but is not involved in its daily operations. Partnerships, like sole proprietorships, are relatively easy to establish. Furthermore, partners can pool financial resources to fund expansion and can divide their duties and responsibilities according to personal expertise and abilities. For example, one partner may be very good at selling, while another has a knack for maintaining good financial records. As with sole proprietorships, however, partnerships may entail substantial financial risks, as all of the general partners are liable for the debts of the business. And unlike proprietorships, disagreements among partners can harm partnership businesses.
(3) Corporations
A corporation is a legal entity that exists as distinct from the individuals who control and invest in it. As a result, a corporation can continue indefinitely through complete changes of ownership, leadership, and staffing. Current owners can sell their holdings to other individuals or, if they die, have their assets transferred to heirs. This is possible because a corporation creates shares of stock that are sold to investors. One strength of the corporate business structure is that stockholders have limited liability, as opposed to the unlimited liability of general partners, so they cannot lose more than their initial investment. Investors may also easily buy and sell stocks of public corporations through stock exchanges. By offering stock publicly, a corporation enables anyone with some money to buy the stock and become a part-owner of the company. As a result, corporations can more easily raise capital for business expansion than can sole proprietorships and most partnerships.

Investors control a corporation through the election of a managing body, known as a board of directors. In a large corporation, investors collectively decide who will oversee the operation of the enterprise. In turn, the board chooses a president, who decides on the key company personnel and helps formulate company strategy.
Many corporations are highly successful business organizations, with profits far exceeding those of many sole proprietorships and partnerships. However, they traditionally have higher tax burdens than other kinds of businesses. Also, the fees involved in creating and organizing a corporation can be expensive.
(4) Joint ventures
In joint ventures and syndicates, individuals or businesses cooperate to create a single product or service package. A joint venture is a partnership agreement in which two or more individual- or group-run businesses join together to carry out a single business project.
(5) Syndicate

A syndicate is an association of individuals or corporations formed to conduct a specific financial transaction such as buying a business. Quite often syndicates are created for the purpose of buying sports franchises. For example, the Miami Heat basketball team and the New York Yankees baseball team are each owned by syndicates of individuals. Each member of these syndicates is also involved in the operation of other businesses.

For me I have enough money and I want to put a business. I want sole proprietorships, because I want that if I have a mistake, a major major mistake. Only my self I hurt. And I want sole proprietorships so that I have no problem In the future. Even my business is small, but that business is only mine and I am the only the boss. I can do what I want to do. And I have nothing to ask sorry if I fall.

A variety of operations keep businesses, especially large corporations, running efficiently and effectively. Common business operation divisions include (1) production, (2) marketing, (3) finance, and (4) human resource management.

(1) Production
Production includes those activities involved in conceptualizing, designing, and creating products and services. In recent years there have been dramatic changes in the way goods are produced. Today, computers help monitor, control, and even perform work. Flexible, high-tech machines can do in minutes what it used to take people hours to accomplish. Another important development has been the trend toward just-in-time inventory. The word inventory refers to the amount of goods a business keeps available for wholesale or retail. In just-in-time inventory, the firm stocks only what it needs for the next day or two. Many businesses rely on fast, global computer communications to allow them to respond quickly to changes in consumer demand. Inventories are thus minimized and businesses can invest more in product research, development, and marketing.
(2) Marketing
Marketing is the process of identifying the goods and services that consumers need and want and providing those goods and services at the right price, place, and time. Businesses develop marketing strategies by conducting research to determine what products and services potential customers think they would like to be able to purchase. Firms also promote their products and services through such techniques as advertising and personalized sales, which serve to inform potential customers and motivate them to purchase. Firms that market products for which there is always some demand, such as foods and household goods, often advertise if they face competition from other firms marketing similar products. Such products rarely need to be sold face-to-face. On the other hand, firms that market products and services that buyers will want to see, use, or better understand before buying, often rely on personalized sales. Expensive and durable goods—such as automobiles, electronics, or furniture—benefit from personalized sales, as do legal, financial, and accounting services.

(3) Finance

Finance involves the management of money. All businesses must have enough capital on hand to pay their bills, and for-profit businesses seek extra capital to expand their operations. In some cases, they raise long-term capital by selling ownership in the company. Other common financial activities include granting, monitoring, and collecting on credit or loans and ensuring that customers pay bills on time. The financial division of any business must also establish a good working relationship with a bank. This is particularly important when a business wants to obtain a loan.

(4) Human Resource Management

Businesses rely on effective human resource management (HRM) to ensure that they hire and keep good employees and that they are able to respond to conflicts between workers and management. HRM specialists initially determine the number and type of employees that a business will need over its first few years of operation. They are then responsible for recruiting new employees to replace those who leave and for filling newly created positions. A business’s HRM division also trains or arranges for the training of its staff to encourage worker productivity, efficiency, and satisfaction, and to promote the overall success of the business. Finally, human resource managers create workers’ compensation plans and benefit packages for employees.

This is my business proposal…..
“Outdoor Sandals”
As a student only allowance is in my pocket. So I have no enough money to build a manufacturing business firms. So what comes up in my mind if I start being a merchandiser? Maybe even if I have no money to have a capital for a business I can start it. For now I am a working student, I work in a sandals factory near our house. Sometimes I retail my sandals I have made, so that I have more extra income. I am thinking that for now as student this is only my focus.
Comfort is normally associated with sandals. While you might not think someone would purposely buy a pair of uncomfortable shoes, it is very common for people to withstand agonizing foot pain for the sake of "looking good." The idea of comfortable sandals is not new, but at one time there was a stigma associated with shoes that were labeled "comfortable". Basically, these shoes tended to lack widespread appeal. That has now all changed. Brands of sandals that are well-known for comfort also pass the fashion test.
Dansko
Dansko's philosophy, "We think about your feet so you don't have to", accurately sums up what has made this shoe company a major contender in brands of comfortable sandals. What was once a Danish clog has been redesigned into some of the most popular sandals for comfort and style. The typical Dansko sandal is lightweight, made to move naturally with the foot, and enhanced with natural materials. Many Dansko sandals have received a stamp of approval from the American Podiatric Medical Association. Dansko, Inc. has only been in business since 1991, but ships its shoes to more than 3,000 stores. Dansko sandals all have the clog base, but are available in strappy, slides, and thong styles.
Born
Visit the Born website and you may feel that you've fallen into a Vogue magazine spread. The artistic edge of Born sandals is evident, but the shoe company doesn't sacrifice style for comfort. What makes Born sandals so special in terms of comfort? The company developed a technique of making shoes called Opanka that results in sandals that are both soft and resilient. Each and every sandal that Born makes is built using some form of the Opanka technique. Adjustable straps are also a common comfort feature of Born sandals.

So we go to advertising…
Advertising is often used to make consumers aware of a product’s special low price or its benefits. But an even more important function of advertising is to create an image that consumers associate with a product, known as the brand image. The brand image goes far beyond the functional characteristics of the product. For example, a soft drink may have a particular taste that is one of its benefits. But when consumers think of it, they not only think of its taste, but they may also associate it with high energy, extreme action, unconventional behavior, and youth. All of those meanings have been added to the product by advertising. Consumers frequently buy the product not only for its functional characteristics but also because they want to be identified with the image associated with the brand.

As I.T. student I want that the way that I advertise my product to retail is through website. Because I have little knowledge on develop a website. And I use website to advertise my product in relation to this subject technoprenuership.

“My target clients”

 Muslims-because Muslims are very good in entrepreneurs.
 Mountain climbers-because mountain climbers are almost using sandals to climb the mountain.
 Us-because also we are need sandals in our homes.

Lessons learned after Reading the commencement of Steve Jobs

Our Facilitator, instructed us to read the commencement of Steve jobs, and make a reflection about the lesson we have learned out of it. But before that, who is Steve Jobs

-Steven Jobs, was born in 1955, American computer executive, who confounded Apple Computer, one of the first manufacturers of personal computers. Jobs went to high school in Los Altos, California, and attended lectures at Hewlett-Packard Co. in Palo Alto after school. He attracted the attention of the company president and was hired as a summer employee. He worked there with Stephen Wozniak, an electronics inventor. In 1972 Jobs graduated from high school and entered Reed College, but he dropped out after one semester. He joined Atari in 1974 as a designer of video games.

Microsoft ® Encarta ® 2008. © 1993-2007 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

During the 2005 graduation ceremony of one of the prestigious and finest universities in United States named Stanford University, invited Steve Jobs, the CEO and the founder of Apple Computers to be their commencement speaker.

I was really inspired after hearing his outstanding commencement. I realize that life is not always sweet. And that the bitter road I have right now is just spices that add flavors to my upcoming success. Through his speech I was inspired to go through.

In his speech, Steve cited three important personal stories in which he had learned essential things that have led him to his success and failures. The first story he recounts is about connecting the dots.

Connecting the Dots.

Lesson: Everything happens for a reason and purpose.

Steve Jobs was perfectly right, when he says that you cannot connect the dots by looking forward; you can only connect it by looking backwards. Life is unpredictable. We can’t tell what tomorrow will bring. There is no assurance of good future, for we cannot see what will be the future. There are things we tend to overlook as we go over our lives. Things that we thought are of little or no relevance at all. Things, which are just a waste of time. But, as time goes by, we were caught off guard by the things we previously thought that those things was irrelevant to us.
Just like Steve Jobs life. Her biological mother decided to put him up for adoption and he should be adopted by college graduates, so everything was all set for him. But it was not happened. He was adopted by two persons who never graduated college and high school. But despite of that, he was able to study in Reed College. He was not a prince during his school days. Months later, He couldn’t clearly see the value in studying, and so he drop out. He joined a calligraphy class and he found it fascinating.
He didn’t know that the choice of having a calligraphy class made sense at all. Until they design the first Macintosh computer. If he had never dropped out, he would have never dropped in on that calligraphy class and personals computers might not have the wonderful typography that they do.
It all came back to him, that every decisions he have made, whether it is big or small, it all made sense. And he only figures it out, when he was already in success. He figures it out through connecting the choice he has made in yesterday. The dots we are talking here are the choice and the things happen in the past. The lesson we have here is trust, your self in making decisions. Yes, we can never see the future, but we are the one makes our future. Follow your heart, even when it leads you off the well-worn path, and that will make all the difference.

The Second story Steve Jobs cited is about love and loss.
Love and loss.
Lesson: Picking-up of oneself in every fall.
Life is not always sweet. There are chances of falling down, and loosing of what we love. For everything in this world is not permanent. Things may be change with just a blink of an eye. We should stand up and start again each time we fall and we met a brick wall. The world will never stop revolving every time you fail. Do not let your failures and your loose are the hindrance of doing what you love. You are not the only one who experienced failures. The thing there is you, stand and move on. And those mistakes you have committed will be your lessons and guide in going through. Stay hungry, stay foolish. Continue in doing what you love. Hungry of looking forward for progress after failures. Do not settle in what just you have. Keep looking, until you realize the thing that would fit in that empty space, until you are contented. Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work, and the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking, and don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it, and like any great relationship it just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking. Don't settle." - Steve Jobs

The third story is about Death.

Lesson: Live life to the fullest.

“If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you’ll most certainly be right.” This quotation made an impression to Steve Jobs. Steve Jobs was diagnosed with cancer in the pancreas. The doctor already told him to go home and settle everything, and he is not a fool to know what the doctor really wanted him to do. It means to try and tell his kids everything he thought he’d have the next ten years to tell them, in just a few months. It means to make sure that everything is buttoned up so that it will be as easy as possible for his family. It means to say his goodbyes. “No one wants to die, even people who want to go to Heaven don't want to die to get there, and yet, death is the destination we all share. No one has ever e caped it. And that is as it should be, because death is very likely the single best invention of life”- Steve Jobs Steve make me realize, that we should do the things we love to do. Our life is only limited. No one knows when and where this tremendous situation happens .We should make our life valuable not only for the sake of our own, bur for others too. So live each day as your last day, make each day useful to fulfill things, make each day remarkable, inspirable and memorable. And so when death comes along, You wont have any regret, because you have live your life to the fullest.
