I really like Steve jobs 3 life stories, I learned the treasure life experience from him 

The first story is about connecting the dots.
Describing his withdrawal from college, he pursues his favorite things, he didn't expected these things will bring him any help, but after decade,  he found that everything is connected. 
I did not know what to do before, but now, I understand, I should to do what I like.

The second story is about love and loss.
Describe he found the Apple and then he was been fired. He did not aware that being fired was a good thing. During the next five years he started two company the first named NeXT, the second named Pixar.
Then Apple bought NeXT and he returned to Apple. 
He let me know that no matter how bad things you encounter, don't give up your faith, Don’t settle.

The third story is about death.
“If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you’ll most certainly be right.”
he said "Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart."
he let me realize that our time is limited, don't waste time, don't live in someone life.
The most important thing is to pursue your heart and sense.

Why you likes the song?

I hear the song on youtube someday, and I watched the music video. The plot in the video attracted me deeply. The music video is very special. Because in the beginning vocal Adam Levine wear lovely suit show up, he said “today is 6 Dec. 2014, we will drive over L.A. and do as possible as we can raid more wedding”. Manoon 5 joined 7 weddings, from Western to Eastern, the all guest couldn’t stop but dance when the music play. All the participant to double up with laughter, absolutely they made wonderful memories in their life. That’s the reason why I like it.

#4 Is loneliness in our genes?

As the title,this article tell us relationship of loneliness and genes.
The article mention that loneliness is social pain which motivate us to seek out companionship.
Some people are more likely to feel lonely than others because our genes play a role in this tendency.
but while in some situations being lonely may be a good thing, because it encourages you to be sociable.
So, inheriting genes for loneliness might not be a bad thing,because it means you can tolerate being alone for a long time without feeling bad.
