Inspire me

Steve Jobs talk about his three stories in his life, and it does inspire me. I always know what I loved to do.I love painting, but I don't know what I want to do. All right, I really love painting, but I not sure if can help me find my job that I love to do.

Then Jobs say "Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work.". My job really will fill a large part of my life, so I'm not going to do the job I hate. And I won't lose my faith.

#Lyrics

Hey, darling, so dear to me

Now, can you try to take me seriously?

Though I know it’s kinda tacky and

You’ll probably laugh at me

But I just don’t know what to say to you

Other than to tell you I love you

There you go, laughing at me again

Making me feel like a fool

Tell me, are you happy?

Is this the road you choose?

Tell me, am I good enough for you?

‘Cause darling, all I know is

*Whether laughing or crying as long as you’re with me

Just being beside you is all I ever need

You give me a reason to keep on looking up

So I’ll give you my heart, as I sing this song of love

Hey, remember that day we met?

What was it that we were talking about?

When I first saw you so long ago

Too shy to ask you out

Well, ever since then look at what we’ve been through

And though we’ve even had a fight or two

Every day we spend together

Brings us closer, me and you

Under this big sky

We found each other here and we

Fell in love, oh, tell me that we’ll be

This way forever

*repeat

I hope you can forgive the constant worry I bring you

The days we’ve spent together are full up to the brim

And every day that I have got you by my side

The feeling’s growing stronger every minute that goes by

I’ll raise my voice high and offer you this silly song

And swear to God above I love you more than anyone

‘Cause I just want to let you know

I’ll hold your hand and won’t let go

As long as my voice lasts, until the day it dies

I’ll keep singing love songs right here by your side, my dear

And when I am old and my voice starts to fray

With my hand in your hand, right next to you I’ll stay

Darling, just saying thank you will never be enough

I wanna spend our lives together, sharing everything

The tears and laughs and joy and sorrow every single day

Forever after, it’ll be the two of us

Darling, so hand-in-hand, let’s sing a song of love

#My comments：

This episode is talk about how to use these words to support the speaker. Almost people can use these words like as totally, exactly, definitely, absolutely, right, etc. But these words can be used in different situation and stand for different mean. 

Actually I know these words meaning. But I don't know how to use these words on different situation.This episode help me how to use these words.

Lindsay and Michelle speak too fast to hear completely, but I often hear Lindsay to speak "exactly" in conversation. That's interesting.
