Ignorance Of A Good Life

‘’I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work’’. Mistakes are usually some of our greatest learning experiences and that's the key thing to remember. It's really not so important what others think of us. It’s far more important to understand what you now know about yourself.

Rejection is defined as dismissing or refusing something. In these two passages, the authors see Rejection differently and even go a bit outside the definition to show us how Rejection is used to hurt, help, or be a tool people use to get their way. Based on how these authors structure their writing, each author has a different stance on rejection and shows it differently, using rhetorical devices, rhetorical appeals, or connotations. After reading the passage "All is Forgiven," one could say that the author sees rejection as a thing that can turn into something good. In "All is Forgiven," Ernest Hemingway's stance on Rejection is Rejection can later be used as a chance for redemption.

In his 2005 Commencement Address at Stanford University, Steve Jobs makes three major claims that he uses to send off this generation of college grads. His first claim is about connecting the dots of our decisions and how we can only see the good that comes from them in the future. Jobs’ second claim is about love and how no matter what we're doing it must be what we love . His final claim is about death, and how no one wants to die even if they want to go to heaven.

I've failed over and over and over again in my life and that is why I succeed”.

Additionally, in hopes to create an emotional connection between the audience, Jobs tells deeply personal stories. He explains how life is about connecting the dots. Through this story, Jobs talks about his youth from his adoption to his parents trying to afford to send him to Reed College. Through Jobs creating a sense of honesty and a sense of empathy, the students and audience start to begin seeing Jobs as a real person. After creating that sense, Jobs makes the students feel outraged after hearing his story about dropping out, building Apple, and then hearing about how he got fired from his own job.This leaves the audience questions like, “How could that happen to a man like him? Then Jobs leaves them feeling fearful of their own mortality after hearing about Jobs road with cancer. After having the graduates in the palms of his hands, Jobs leaves them with a message that he did not have an easy beginning very much like the other graduates and that this message will be with them forever as they overcome obstacles to success.

On his commencement speech to Stanford students on June 12, 2005, Steve Jobs, the CEO of Apple computers and PIXAR animations, used carefully crafted inspirational anecdotes and rhetorical devices like ethos and pathos to move his audience to explore, follow their dream and do what they love no matter the odds.

Jia Jiang introduced the audience his motion of 100 days of rejection, a “Rejection Therapy”, which was invested by the Canadian entrepreneur, Jason Comely. The basic idea of Rejection Therapy is for 100 days, you go out and look for rejection and every day get rejected by something, you desensitize yourself from the pain by the end. What’s more, he talked a lot about the reason makes the strangers reject his asking. For example, one day, Jia Jiang went to a stranger’s house with a flower in his hand and he asking for planting the flower in the stranger’s backyard. He was rejected but that’s because the stranger has a dog and he did not want Jia Jiang’s flower dug by this dog. Therefore, it was because what he offered does not fit what the stranger

Steve Jobs’s commencement speech aimed to inspire the Stanford graduates to follow their dreams once they go out into the real world. Jobs looked to guide his primary audience with him “[wanting] to tell [them] three stories from [his] life” to teach them lessons about starting up, love, loss, and death. Aside from the principal audience, the orator also geared

Even though the man was rejected, he was still strong and expressed his

“It turned out that being fired from Apple was the best thing that could have happened to me,” said Steve Jobs. Steve Jobs was a successful, college dropout. In his speech How to Live Before You Die he explains his journey to success. Steve gave his speech to the graduating class of 2005 from Stanford College. Throughout his speech, he uses trust, emotion, and facts to persuade the grads to find what they love and pursuit it.

Steve Job’s commencement speech in 2005 at Stanford University, which is one of the best university in our country was very memorable and inspiring for Stanford graduates and also for audience listening to speech. In his speech, Jobs inspires students and audience to pursue their dreams and always to follow their heart no matter what even though things don’t always go according to plan and never give up. Steve Job is mainly known for his contributions in the technological world but along with that he is also recognized for his world-renowned presentations. Jobs’ simplicity in delivery and extensive use of rhetoric makes his speech effective and comparable to speeches of famous narrators. In this commencement speech, Jobs uses simplicity in the structure of his speech along with the use of rhetoric such as ethos and pathos besides usage of personal stories to make this speech effective in inspiring his audience and making it memorable.

I agreed with much of the Fisher (2008) video presentation. I thought about the times I was rejected by someone that I really loved, and the times I had to reject someone I loved. Both are difficult and both caused different reactions to me. Fisher (2008) said that love causes a chemical reaction in the brain, and this explains why many people can’t help but to fall in love with some of the people that they do. I learned from Fisher (2008) that the brain is effected in three different places when someone is rejected or “dumped” by the person they love. I never knew that there was actual science to backup that rejection actually effects the brain the way that it does. I know from my own experiences how rejection affected me, it felt like I was dying a sickness that completely paralyzed me. It helped me accept that no matter how tough you may think you are love can

When I fail once, twice, and third in my life, I become frustrated and hopeless. However, if I listen to the other side of your heart, I would change my perspective. I should not listen to people who bother me with negative comments because I give up to be successful. Failure is not the end of my life; instead, it is a key to becoming a successful person. Everyone has an influence that changes a major choice in his or her life. In my life, a book which is Be Positive has completely changed me in a positive manner while I was pessimistic and isolated in my room. I still remember that evening when I made several decisions sitting with my family in the dining room. Since I purchased that book, I have become a

I consider Steve Jobs’ commencement speech at Stanford University in 2005 to be one of the most effective speeches. He uses mechanics of speech to craft a well-rounded speech that is crowned by his use of rhetorical devices. Jobs gives relevant and fundamental knowledge of his life and experiences with his rhetorical approach. In his speech to the Stanford’s graduation class, he tells different stories of love, loss, discovery and difficulty he faced in his life to encourage new graduates as they continue to mature in life. He encourages students to pursue their dreams and not be discouraged by failures they might experience in life.

In his 2005 Stanford Commencement Speech, founder and CEO of Apple and Pixar, Steve Jobs develops ethos, pathos, and logos in order to motivate and inspire the graduating class, ultimately persuading the students to “Stay foolish, stay hungry”.
