Hmmm... the world has lost a pioneer indeed. What a legacy a left behind? Just stumbled on Late Mr. Jobs commencement speech at Stanford university back in 2005 or thereabout. Not sure. But as listened to him speak, some of the things he said stood out for me: Living for something you love, doing something you love, listening to your heart and your intuition, Living each day like it's your last and weighing the consequences of your actions and the beauty of death. As I listened to him, he sounded to me like someone who had put his life in order, giving his best to his world, knowing that someday he was going to pass away. It really got me thinking and asking questions like: Am I really living each day like it's my last? Am I giving my best to that which I love to do? Have I even found that which I love to do? Am I caught up in trying to live another man's life or am I comfortable in my own skin? Finally, I hope this one stands out for you: "Stay hungry, stay foolish!"
You can go here to watch the video yourself. Farewell to one of our generation's greatest innovators.
