di pidatonya ini, pada umumnya beliau menceritakan dengan latar belakang hidupnya,
dan perjalanan hidupnya,, juga pelajaran2 kehidupan yang beliau petik...
1. You've got to find what you love. And that is as true for your work as it is for your lovers. 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. 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 until you find it. Don't settle.
2. "If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you'll most certainly be right."
(bahkan seorang Steve Jobs menganut hal ini!!)
It made an impression on me, and since then, for the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: "If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?" And whenever the answer has been "No" for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something. Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything — all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure - these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose.
itu 2 paragraf yang bener2 dicatet,, dari 2 hal itu,, dengan mencintai yang kita lakukan dan dengan mengingat bahwa mungkin hari ini adalah hari terakhir kita.. aku tau lahir sesuatu: Bersungguh-sungguh..
dari bersungguh-sungguh akan lahir karya2 yang hebat..
aku bener2 terharu,, mungkin karena aku menggunakan Macinstosh,, aku suka Pixar,, dan ternyata inilah orang di balik semua itu,, berawal 35 tahun yang lalu saat dia berusia 20 tahun, di garasi orang tuanya mulai ngutak2 bikin komputer bersama temannya,, dari kuliah kaligrafi beliau terapkan untuk bikin keindahan di Macintosh,, juga di pixar,, animasi2nya lahir dari ilmu kaligrafinya,, pastinya dia bekerja keras dan bersungguh-sungguh,, pastinya saat itu semua ini adalah sebuah mimpi,, yang dengan kerja kerasnya mungkin more than he thought could ever be!!
30 tahun ke depan,, aku akan menghasilkan mahakarya apa ya???????
