Purple Pencil

Today I have seen so many news reports  talking about Steve Jobs passing away.  Many are focusing on the way his products and services changed our world. Others are talking about Jobs, the man. If I didn’t really pay attention on what he was before, today I am falling in love with some of his life attitude and style.

—“Sometimes life hits you in the head with a brick. Don’t lose faith. I’m convinced that the only thing that kept me going was that I loved what I did. You’ve got to find what you love. And that is as true for your 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. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking. Don’t settle. As with all matters of the heart, you’ll know when you find it. And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking until you find it. Don’t settle.”

  1. 我對他也沒太大的感觸,因為我不是蘋果迷。但這幾天新聞、報章雜誌都在報導,也讓我在不知不覺中關注了他起來。

    剛和老公看了〝鋼鐵擂台〞回來,好熱血好感人。後半段我都一直在哭呢!親子間的情感刻劃得很細膩,很溫馨。而且整部戲都沒有冷場,老公和我都讚不絕口。很推薦喔,妳和親愛的他也可以去看看呢!

    紅配紫在搭上Miu Miu 的高跟鞋,給人奢華的感覺。但搭上牛仔襯衫,緩和了過於華麗的裝扮。喜歡hallie不按牌裡出牌的搭配,常讓我感到很新鮮。換作是我,肯定也是搭個很正式的白襯衫。

    喜歡那頂紅帽和RB跳耀的照片,可愛極了!

  2. 好的啊, 谢谢亲爱的推荐这部电影, 我们有空得找找…已经很久没去影院看电影了, 都是在家里看的, 因为RB的关系!!! 汗…有时候很烦他的, 哈哈…

  3. Hiii!!! Oh I missed Red Bear’s pics! He looks soooo amazing, his pictures always rock! I especially love the jumping one hahaha! He is the cutest <3
    And so is your outfit! This is such a subtle color blocking outfit. The skirt is really beautiful, it suits you perfectly! And after all, it's the perfect alternative to the classic black pencil skirt. I'm also in love with the color of your hat and belt, it's so amazing, isn't it? It looks awesome with purple! Ph and of course the denim jacket, which you always manage to style in perfect ways, looks absolutely adorable with the statement necklace! Of course: perfection!
    You know what? I too didn't know a lot of things about Steve Jobs, but now after his death, I've been seeing a lot of him on the web and I'm too kind of curprised by his personality. Well, of course he would never have such a great impact on the world if he was not a grand personality, but still…it's admirable that he had such a realistic and clear view of life. I totally love these words of him you posted. So inspiring! Don't settle, that's it! RIP.
    Many many kisses! Have a nice Friday!!! <3

  5. 前段时间刚看了乔布斯传,非常喜欢他本人,他是那种非常个性,永远都明白自己真正需要什么的人,他的经历是一个传奇,同时只有美国这样的自由环境才能造就这样的传奇人物。为史蒂夫.乔布斯先生默默祈祷,希望他在天国也温暖开心!
    非常喜欢你今天的装扮,充满女人味儿,用色既跳跃又很和谐,用牛仔搭铅笔裙妙趣横生!
    RB跳得好高啊!小淘气!手腕上都有小小划痕了。

  11. 紫色裙子好美!发现紫色好像很称Hallie的气质哎,你所有紫色的搭配都让人映像深刻!

  12. the bag looks amazing as much as I can see. love the hat, too. and thanks for that quote, I copied it to my notes so that I don’t forget it. “don’t settle” is just what I need to hear very often. thank you, Mr. Jobs.
