To act or not to act

Steve Jobs and Hamlet's speech are quit different. Hamlet say that bad things will happen and that we just have to let them happen, we can't change it. Jobs on the other hand says that we have to learn from and do better for future situations. It seemed to me that Hamlet wanted to give up when times got rough, whereas Steve wanted to work hard and be successful, he didn't want to give up or even consider it. Steve Jobs talks about real life events, tragedies, and success. Hamlet, not sure what is going on with him.
