I'm probably abit late as to write about him now...as i've already shown my condolense when i found out about the loss of a great innovator to the world..
He was more than just one of the most brillant minds of our time, but truely a beautiful person aswell.. I watched this video of him giving a speech for Stanford university back in 2005 and it really inspired me to adhere to his advice...i would like you guys to take 15mins out of your time to listen to his amazing life...
Some quotes from his speech that really resonated with me that i wanted to share with you guys...
"you can't connect the dots looking forward..you can only connect them looking backwards..so you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future..you have to trust in something, your gut, destiny, your life, whatever...it will lead you to the right path.."
"the heaviness of being sucessful, was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner again..less sure about everything.."
"If i didn't get fired from apple, i wouldn't have started the company Nex and Pixar... It was awful tasting medicine..but i guess the patient needed it.."
"Sometimes life is gonna hit you on the head with a brick....don't lose faith... I am 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 work as it is with your lovers... Your work is gonna fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truelly 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...and don't settle... and 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.."
"if you live each day as if it were your last, someday u most certainly will be right..."
"Remembering that you are going to die, is the best way to avoid the trap of thinking that you have something to lose..you are already naked..there is no reason not to follow your heart.."
"no one wants to die, even people who want to go to heaven, dont want to die to get there...death is most likely the single best invention of life.. its lifes change agent..it clears out the old to make way for the new...."
"your time is limited..so don't waste it living someone elses life. Don' be trapped by dogma- which is living with the results of someone elses thinking..don't let the noise of someone elses opinion drown out your own inner voice..and most important..have the courage to follow your heart and intuition...they somehow already know what you truely want to become...everything else is secondary.."
"stay hungry..stay foolish.."
Rest in peace Mr Jobs...
