    He says, "Do not seek to have events happen as you want them to, but instead want them to happen as they do happen, and you life will go well". I agree with his statement above. Many people are always looking to find ways on predicting what their future may bring them. I'm a victim of that. His view are whatever misfortunate may come your way you will find the endurance, and patience to deal with the situation, rather than to seek a prediction in advance, because as human beings we were made to deal with certain capacity of…

    By the end of his speech in the Stanford University he stated “Stay Hungry, Stay Foolish.” As far as my opinion is concerned, I believe that by this line he meant that however successful a person becomes in life, he/she should never be proud of themselves and should try and grasp as much knowledge as they can. In a way he even meant that being the richest man in the cemetery is not another name for being successful, rather being knowledgeable is something that matters more. We should never be satisfied with our knowledge as the world is very big and our brain is too small to be aware of everything. Staying hungry meant that we should always be looking for more and more whereas staying foolish meant that we should never try to make people believe that we know everything. Be calm and let people think whatever they want to, as showing off our knowledge would do us no good. Success and failure, both depend on the work you do and doing what you love will bring…

If he is hard-working, he will be rewarded for it. If he is idle, he will have to suffer for his idleness. It is not the stars that decide our fate. It is we who are responsible for what we are.…
