Personal VS Professional

The second article is “The Steve Jobs Nobody Knew” written by Jeff Goodell, although I wasn’t a fan of Steve Jobs, but I really admire his ideas and way of thinking.  For those who don’t really know him, I bet you know iPhone and iPad right?  Well, he is the creator of it.  He died in October 2011 and it such a surprise to the world to know the news.  As everyone already know, he owned Apple Inc which is a successful brand and a very well-known name that is love by device fans.  The product had been an admiration by gadget lovers especially.  Steve Jobs invented lots of great hardware and it’s been a hit.  Even my friend owned an Apple phone because she loves the hardware, I guess.

I can’t deny that I love his critical thinking, but all of that was totally change after I read this article which it exposed the real side of him that even I myself had no idea about that.  Is he success in his personal life or his professional life?  Well, Goodell dared to give an inside look of the popular inventor, Steve Jobs.

As Apple ascended, Jobs changed completely.  Everyone around him was like strangers; his temper became his close friend.  At first I thought it only happens only on movies or dramas, but it did take place in reality as well.  Jobs isolated his family and didn’t provide them any cents.  He even denied his paternity until it was confirmed by a DNA test.  Well, I didn’t know what crossed his mind, but family is a treasure that you have to value the most.  Was Apple being everything to him that made him being selfish and arrogant?  Well, nobody knows.  Everything happens for a reason, which he had his.  

Just Be Simple!

‘’The Degree of Happiness”, written by Betrand Rusell is an article that explained happiness is open to any human being, and the other only to those who can read and write.  So, I’m going to initiate my perceptions or points of view of my own understanding regarding this article.  Let’s imagine that we own a land of acre and sum of money, we will be happy, right?  Why?  Because we’re rich, we know how to read and write.  For me, happiness doesn’t depend on your intellectual or what’s in your pocket, but then it relies on your enjoyment of life.   I’ve seen plenty of poor families on the outskirts of town and kids were happily running and playing with their siblings.  They didn’t know how to read and write, but how can they still put smiles on their faces?   The answer is so simple- they’re enjoying themselves. 

Between a simple man that has a cute car, a house and a critical thinker man that owns luxurious cars and a mansion, we would say that both of them had a totally different world and perspectives.  The Mr. Simple enjoys his life to full-fledged and Mr. Thinker was so busy to think until a moment he miss his chance to enjoy his life.  What I’m going to emphasis here is the way we gaining happiness.  What’s the writer tried to explain is that, happiness is open to everyone, and it’s just a matter of searching it and gaining it.  Try to recall the last time when you’re laughing out loud.  Is it when you were having sum of money or we were having fun and enjoying your moment with friends or family?  No matter what’s your answer, there’s a good reason behind it.  Life is too short so take the time and appreciate.  Be Happy!
