The Suicides

An American, A Frenchman and a Korean were working on a skyscraper being built in Seoul. They
worked hard all morning. When it was lunch, they took the elevator up to the top of the very high
building and sat on the edge eating their lunches.
The American opened his lunch box and said, “Damn! Peanut butter and jam sandwiches again! If I
get peanut butter and jam again, I’m gonna jump off this building.”
The Frenchman opened up his lunch. “Mon Dieu! Cheese sandwiches again! If I get cheese
sandwiches again, I’m gonna jump off this building.”
The Korean opened up his lunch box. “Shxxxxx! Kimchee. If I get kimchee again for lunch, I’m
going to jump off this building.”
The next day, the 3 men did the same thing. They worked hard all morning and then went up to the
top of the building, sat on the edge and began to eat lunch.
The Korean looked in his lunch box first. “Shexxxx! Kimchee!” He stood up and jumped off the
building.
The American looked in his lunch box. “Damn! Peanut butter and jam!” He stood up and jumped off
the building.
The Frenchman looked in his lunch box. “Merde! Cheese sandwiches!” He stood up and jumped off
the building.
The next day, the newspapers were full of stories about the 3 construction workers who killed
themselves. Everyone wondered why? Even the police had no answers.
A few days later at the funeral for the men, the 3 wives were talking. The Korean’s wife said, “I don’t
understand. He loved kimchee and always asked me for it.”The American’s wife said, “I don’t
understand either.
He loved peanut butter since he was a young boy.” The Frenchman’s wife said, “I don’t understand
either.
HE MADE HIS OWN LUNCH EVERYDAY!

The Speech by Steve Jobs
1.   Connecting the dots
Steve Jobs starts his 1st story saying, that it has begun, when he was born. His biological mother was a very young, not married aspirant student, and she wanted to put him up to adoption. She thought that he should be adopted by college graduates, so everything was set to him – he should be adopted by lawyer and his wife. But when Steve was born turned out, that it was a boy, and lawyer wanted a girl. So couple, which was on waiting list got a call in the middle of the night. They asked: “We have an unexpected child, do you want him?” The answered: “Of course.” But later, his biological mother found out, that his mother never graduated from college and his father never graduated from high school, so she didn’t want to sign adoption papers. She signed it only when his parents promised, that he will go to college. 17 years later, Steve chooses college that was expensive as Stanford is.  But after six month he decided to drop out. So he could go only on classes that he wanted to go on. But there was a bad side – he didn’t’ had his own dorm to sleep at, he had return Coke bottles for 50 cents to buy food and on every Sunday night he went thru all city to haru-krishnu temple to get free meal. He liked it.
In Reed College he went to calligraphy classes. It really helped out when he made his first Mac. The topography was great. And, when Windows fully copied it, has made all computers have great topography.
“Of course it was impossible to connect the dots looking forward when I was in college. But it was very, very clear looking backward 10 years later.” – That was ending words.
Moral is –you can’t connect dots looking forward, but you can see them connected lookingback in future.

[svetlanavasilievna12]

That was a  graduation ceremony in Stanford University. Stanford graduates were listening to Steve Jobs’s speech carefully, paying attention. It was a great honor for him to have a conversation with them.  He had three fascinating stories about his life.
The first story is about connections the dots. He had narrated not merely his biography, but inspirative history. Truth be told he had never graduated from the college. He dropped out of the college after the first 6 months. His mother has never graduated from college, his father had never graduated from high school. According to the sentence written on the waiting list they had an unexpected baby boy. He has no idea what to do with his life  and what the college would have at its disposal in order to help to figure out. He had to return bottles for 5 cents to buy some food,  every Sunday night he worked the whole time, slept on the floor. But consequently  his curiosity and intuition made him interested in calligraphy. He had been studying in Calligraphy classes  for a while. And in the end of his first story he  gave an interesting idea: If he’d never dropped out of the college, he would have never created such a great computers, mobile phones and inventions in general. You can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backward.

[Анастасия_6996]

His father was never graduated at high school. Steve Jobs had never graduated from college. His family spend the all money that they had on his studying. He didn’t know what he want from life. So he decided to leave college.  Than he had been studying in the calligraphy class. Than started to work for all day and night, he was collecting the metal bottles for money and0 he slept on the floor. It was a hard years for him.
         Ten years later they made the first mac computer. If he never drop out. He would never went to that calligraphy class and he would never made his mac. It was the best decision at his life.

[Мякиш]

This speech made by Steve Jobs in Stanford university, he told us three stories, but I’m going to tell you only first story which name is : “Connecting the dots”.

Steve told us that his biological mother gave him to other family, and the other family suddenly decided that they want to have a girl, not a boy. And the call for another family was at night, and they said : “We have unexpected boy, do you need him?”, They said : “Sure”. And they gave a word that Steve will go to college.
 
And it was true, when Steve was seventeen years old he went to his college, he chose very expensive college and his poor parents gave a lot of money for his study. Steve didn’t understand whom he want to be in future. So he dropped out from college. He didn’t have his own dorm, so he have to sleep on the floor in his friends’ dorms. He collected bottles for 5 cents. And every Sunday evening he went across the city for 7 miles, to get a food hari-krishnu temple.
 
Then he went to Reed College where he studied calligraphy, and it helped him in his future with first Macintosh.

Moral is that you need to look forward and your destiny will connect all your dots, and everything will be ok.
