Steve Jobs was famous for starting Apple Computers. In a speech to graduating students at Stanford University, Jobs told students about some of life-changing experiences. Jobs believed these experiences helped him achieve success.

Job's biological mother was a college student. As a young mother, she felt unable to bring Jobs up so she put him up for adoption. Job's adopted parents were simple working-class people. When Jobs was 17, his parents used their saving to send him to college.

After six months of college, Jobs decided it was not for him. Around that time, he had read a quotation that went something like,“If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you'll most certainly be right.”The quotation made him think about his life and his future. He started to question if he should stay in college. Was he doing what he really wanted to do? Eventually, he decided he had to change something; he decided to drop out of college.

Jobs was lucky because he knew what he loved to do. He started Apple Computers in his parents' garage with a friend when he was 20. In just ten years, Apple grew into a $2 billion company. However in 1985, Jobs was fired from the company.

Jobs was shocked. He lost everything at once. He quickly realized that he still loved what he did, and over the next five years, he started two highly successful companies. next and Pixar. Jobs also met his future wife, Laurence. Jobs was happily married with a family, working for Apple again and living every day as if it were his last.

    Someone says, "{#blank#}1{#/blank#}" But I think time is even more important than money. Why? Because when money is spent, we can get it back. However, when time is gone, it'll never return. __{#blank#}2{#/blank#}__

    It goes without saying that the time is usually limited (有限的). Even a second is very important. {#blank#}3{#/blank#}But it is a pity that there are a lot of people who do not know the importance of the time. They spend their limited time smoking, drinking and playing. {#blank#}4{#/blank#}  

    In a word, we should save time. {#blank#}5{#/blank#} Remember we have no time to lose.
