As everyone posts about the great innovator Steve Jobs passing, I've been reading all his thoughts, speeches and ads. What an inspiring man. As Jeff pointed out to me, this is the Thomas Edison of our time.... so here are somethings that moved me. Thank you for your passion and wise words, RIP Steve.
Some beautiful impromptu memorials at Apple stores.
"Again, 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, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life."
"Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart."
"Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary."
