Steve Jobs: I for Apple
// October 7th, 2011 // No Comments » // Random Musings, TechTalk
Sometimes its just the work you do in your life matters and not the connections you made with people. Thousands of humans like me are in a big sadback that Steve Jobs died, though we have never used an I product or met Steve in person.
From Steve Jobs 2005 Stanford commencement address:
“No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don’t want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life’s change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new. Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic, but it is quite true.
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.”
