3. Steve Jobs says at the beginning that he will tell three different stories. Complete the following table with the most important
information of the three sections:

Connecting the dots Love and loss Death

In this part, Steve Jobs talks about how it's not that
important to be a graduate and make the effort to take
courses that just don't help you connect like he did
because he decided to drop out of college 6 months
after he got in and 18 months before, he took the
calligraphy course and do what he likes so that later it
is a connector to his path, that knowledge helped him to
create the windows calligraphy that uses mac, if he had
not left the university and taken the course he would
never have achieved, showing that everything should
revolve around connecting with your path, no matter the
university degree, what really matters is knowledg
In this part he mentions that despite the
adversities, if you really love something, you
should not let it go so easily.
because when Steve Jobs lost everything,
he decided to start from scratch with new
very successful projects in addition to living
his life, but all with love. proving that starting
over with love to what you like to do, can
recreate a great person just as he did when
he returned to apple thanks to his other
ventures and found his wife. (love is born of
loss)
In this part steve jobs emphasizes the
importance of living in the present since
he takes death as an intellectual concept
to motivate him to make decisions and
live his life as if it were the last thing in the
world for him, since nobody really wants
to die but Unfortunately, it is the destiny
that everyone shares, so what you really
have to do is live your own life, not be
afraid of the new, have courage, follow all
your dreams and live what really matters,
the rest is secondary.
