Firstly, find passion in whatever you do, and if you know you like doing something, then you should go out all the way to do it. This is like in Steve Job's life, where his passion of creating and making computers eventually led to him founding the Apple company. Even when he is kicked out of his own company, he did not give up and continued to do the one thing that he liked most - making computers. This single act enabled him to continue to have a motivation and aim in life, which eventually allowed him to succeed very well and become CEO of Apple. Having passion in doing a particular thing enables us to put our hearts and minds into doing it, as we really like it. This helps to unleash our full potential and allow us to succeed well in the thing that we like doing. In fact, we will put in more effort in doing things we like than in doing things we do not find as appealing.
Secondly, sometimes life throws various setbacks at us, but we should always persevere and always find a way around it, as it could actually be a blessing in disguise. This is like in Steve Job's life, whether it is his dropping out of school or him being kicked out of his own company, there is no telling whether it is actually a good thing. In fact, this events helped to improve Steve Job's lives by an unexpected twist of fate in the later parts of his life. He said that looking back, he was glad that life had thrown all these painful experiences and decisions to him, as it helped to make him the successful person he is now. Life is never a bed of roses, but it is how we make use of it that determines whether we can indeed create a bed of roses for ourselves, or just dig a deep pit.
