Assignment #10

edX class: Knowledge Management and Big Data in Business

Institution:the Hong Kong Polytechnic university

Big Data which is in the topic is the first thing interest me. So I chose this class. Hope can learn something. 

Assignment #9 TED Talk

What’s wrong with our food system

I am really surprise at  the kid can give a speech so confidently in front of many people. For me, it is impossible. From his speech, we know he has prepared a lot of information about what he want to tell us. And he didn't just read.As a kid he saw much than the same age children and decided to let everyone know,to make everyone change their mind. Whether his speech work or not. I am sure he will go places.

Assignment #6 Steve Jobs’ Talk

Steve Jobs' talk

1. naively(adj.) in a way that shows you lack experience of life, knowledge or good judgement and are willing to believe that people always tell you the truth.
2. tuition(n.) the money that you pay to be taught, especially in a college or university.
3. dorm(n.) (dormitory) a room for several people to sleep in, especially in a school or other institution.
4. quote(v.)  to repeat the exact words that another person has said or written 
5. "If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you’ll most certainly be right."

I would like to talk about the third story that Steve Jobs said. Honestly I don't think that everyone would do as he said when they think that today may be their last day. I believe that most people would try to have more fun instead work harder in the rest of their life. So I think the concept of change the way they live is depends on how the person want his/her life be. If Steve Jobs just want a normal life. I think Apple wouldn't have a chance to be as a strong company as it is today.
