Former Apple CEO Steve Jobs Passed Away
Steve Jobs, the founder and former CEO of Apple, died on October 5 at the age of 56. Jobs had been fighting with cancer since 2004. In August 2011, he quit as CEO.
When asked what Steve Jobs is best remembered for, many of us would name a particular product: the iPod, the iPhone or the iPad, for example. But in the eyes of Eric Jackson, a reporter with Forbes magazine, Jobs brought much more to the world than these popular devices. Some of the lessons he taught us were equally inspiring.
Jobs taught us how to face failure. He was fired by the successor（继任者）he himself chose. Despite this, Jobs didn't hide away. He picked himself up and continued to follow his passion.
Another valuable lesson he taught us was to listen to that voice in the back of your head — the voice that tells you if you’re on the right track or not. Most of us simply decide that we’re going to work in finance or become a doctor because our parents tell us this is what we should do. But Jobs believed and showed that it is wise to listen to that voice in your head, whatever it is telling you to do.”Steve was among the greatest American innovators— brave enough to think differently, bold enough to believe he could change the world, and talented enough to do it.” Said the US President Barack Obama.

Nowadays, there are more and more misunderstanding(误解)between parents and children. And this is called generation-gap.(代沟).
Why are there so many misunderstandings between parents and children? In my opinion, the reasons can be listed as follows. First, the two generations , grown up at different times, have different likes and dislikes, and that’s why the disagreements often rises between them. Second , having little in common to talk about, they are not willing to sit face to face. Third, with the space(步伐)of modern life becoming faster and faster, they both are so busy with their work or study that they can’t spare time to exchange their ideas.
But how to change the situation? For one thing ,children should respect(尊重)their parents , for another , parents should also love and take care of their children. All these ways will certainly bridge the generation gap.
