Analysis- Paraphrase


“You’ve got to find what you love, and that is
as true for work as it is for your lovers. 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, and the only
way to do great work is to love what you do.”
With this sentence he talks about finding a job
or a career that you like and that you know
you can do it and its right for you. This
sentence is like a inspirational sentence
because he did that and he loved his job
more than anything and really enjoyed it.
Major Premise/Theme/Main Idea


“The heaviness of being successful was
replaced by the lightness of being a beginner
again, less sure about everything. It freed me
to enter one of the most creative periods in
my life.”
I think this is the main idea because Jobs after
being through a lot of difficulties to where he
was, he realized that all that was worthy of
everything and that it got him to where he
really enjoyed his job.
Logos


“…then I got fired. Well, as Apple grew, we
hired someone who I thought was very
talented to run the company with me, and for
the first year or so, things went well. But then
our visions of the future began to diverge,
and eventually we had a falling out….”
I think the logos for this speech was that Jobs
after creating something that was his, he still
got fired from it because people were against
you and they will do that even if you’re the
owner.
Pathos


“About a year ago, I was diagnosed with
cancer…it clearly showed a tumor on my
pancreas. The doctors told me this was
almost certainly a type of cancer that is
incurable, and that I should expect to live no
longer than three to six months.”
I think this sentences were pathos because he
was saying that he got diagnosed with
cancer and it wasn’t incurable so he only had
a few months to live.
Ethos
 “You
have to trust in something – you gut,
destiny, life, karma, whatever – because
believing that the dots will connect down
the road will give you the confidence to
follow your heart…”
 I think ethos is when Jobs was saying just
to believe in something to gain
confidence in yourself to get where you
want to get.
Powerful Lines
 “The
heaviness of being successful was
replaced by the lightness of being a
beginner again, less sure about
everything.”
 “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, and the only way to do great work
is to love what you do.”
