Hi this is Tutor Nick P and this is Quotes
216.
The quote today is another one by Steve Jobs.
We haven't done one by him in a while but
I did do a couple of others by him before.
Anyway . let's take a look at today's quote.
" You time is limited.
So don't waste your time, living someone else's
life.
Don't be trapped by dogma --- which is living
with the results of other people's thinking.
Don't let the noise of other people's thinking
drown out you inner voice.
And most important have the courage to follow
your heart and intuition."
Well , let's go over this.
There are several vocabulary words maybe for
students to cover.
. Your time is limited , so don't waste you
time living someone else's life.
All right . That is pretty simple.
Yeah.
a lot of times people tell you should do this
or you should do that.
A lot of times it is your parents too.
Even though they love you.
You know, if they are trying to force you
to be something that you are not meant to
be or you don't feel like it is not in your
heart , perhaps you should not do it.
Don't be attracted by dogma.
All right . Dogma is a set of beliefs the
someone is expected to accept without asking
questions.
Okay, you know, just you know if someone says
this is what you have to do, this is what
you have to follow.
Which is living the results of other people's
thinking.
So you want it to be your thinking.
Don't let the noise of other people's opinions
drown out.
Remember if something drowns out to hide or
cover something by being louder.
so they are talking to you so much.
They are making you quite that little voice
that is inside your head.
That is what we mean by your inner voice,
One's thoughts, one's sense of self.
Part of you in your brain that talks to you.
That is your inner voice.
So that is what he is telling you.
Don't let the voice of other's opinions drown
out your inner voice.
Okay.
Most important.
Have the courage to follow your heart.
And you intuition, your natural feeling.
Your sense to understand something through
your feelings.
That is what we mean by your intuition.
Remember we often say...
We have a lot of common intuitions.
Like we often say a mother's intuition, when
she can sense that maybe something is wrong
with one of her children.
Even though they didn't say anything or we
sometimes talk about a wife's intuition if
she might sense her husband might be cheating
on her or something like that.
But here, But everyone has some intuition.
So anyway, let's take a look at the note here.
So Steve Jobs is basically encouraging people
to follow one's dreams.
Don't allow yourself.
to be trapped by being something that someone
else wanted.
Okay . that is basically it.
you to be if it is not really in your heart.
Now if it is in your heart, and you do like
it.
Then hey ! Go for it.
Why not ? Don't allow others to discourage
you.
If you believe you can do it and you have
some skill.
Well, I should kind of point this out.
You should really have some skill in it.
Sometimes it makes me think of a lot of those
American Idol auditions.
Where some people at least they acted like
they though, you know , their singing voice
was really, really good and they could win
American Idol.
Yeah.
No . Obviously, you can't really be a real
singer if you don't really have that skill.
You might have to face this.
You might have to look in the mirror and realize
hey!
I just don't really have what it takes for
this.
If You do really have some skill.
Or if you know can learn it..
You could perfect it.
If you did have at least a decent voice.
You can take lessons to improve it.
Why not ? Or whatever it is that you do, especially
if it is creative..
Maybe you could get help to try to follow
that dream.
If you have some skill or some talent in that
area.
Then maybe go for it.
In this area, Go for I it, means go do it
try it.
You know put effort or enthusiasm into it
and at least try for it.
Anyway, I hope you got it.
I hope it is clear.
Thank you for your time.
Bye-bye.
