Steve Jobs Stanford Speech

these are excerpts from one of the best speeches ever made by any human. I love it immensely. excerpts.

"dropping out of college was one of the best things I ever did. Since, after that I stopped attending classes that did not interest me at all and started attending classes that looked far more interesting"

"connecting the dots---you can't connect the dots looking forward, you can only connect them looking backwards"

"love and loss- i found what I loved to do early in life. After getting fired, I realized that I still loved what I did. I have been rejected, but I was still in love. YOU HAVE GOT TO FIND WHAT YOU LOVE. THAT'S TRUE OF YOUR WORK AND TRUE OF YOUR LOVER. if you have not found it yet, keep looking. don't settle. As with all matters of heart, you will know when you will find it"

"death- if you live each day as if it was your last, someday, it will most certainly be right. if today is the day, would I want to do, what I am about to do today?! When you realize, you are going to die anytime, there is no reason not to follow your heart.

death is a destination we all share. death is the single best invention of life. your time is limited so don't waste it living someone else's life. have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. Every thing else is secondary"

stay hungry, stay foolish.

pay attention to the words you use. you become the words you say.

which means, if you say you are depressed, you become so. if you say you are happy, that's what you are.

eliminate all negative words from your vocabulary. By the way, did you hear, Oxford has decided to remove 'can't' and 'impossible' from the dictionaries!

have a lovely day.

one day..

one day, you will have to take the decision. to either continue living a safe, mediocre, dull, pointless life....

or put everything on the line, EVERYTHING. to realize your dreams. one day.

I cannot keep wasting my life, a day at a time!!!

I cannot keep on wasting my life, one day after another just because I have a loan!!! I mean, I come to this office everyday to a job that hardly inspires me, to say the least and waste whole day sitting here!!!

why?! because I want a salary at the end of the month to feed myself and pay my loan.

so what's the alternative:

it is this. put everything on the line. propel myself at life full throttle and do everything I love to do and make money out of it. Turn my passions into profit and money. live life in its essence.

that will take time. lets say i take 20 years to pay back the loan. but I will be enjoying my life. I will be doing things that I love to do and getting better at them. I know I am good. I will find ways to make money.


to be considered. when i am done publishing the first book. actually I am getting so frustrated that I may not wait for my first book. But I should. Else, it's too risky. Extremely dangerous.

change the world!

people who are CrAzY enough to believe that they can change the world....
are the ones who actually do so

Relationships!

I do not believe in unhappy relationships! Period.

One day....

said this while in a casual conversation with deepo ;) thought will post it here for future reference.

the way life is going right now, I will not be able to continue like this for long. I am frustrated with most things and there is hardly any ZING in the life of Amarocks Singh Zing!!!

well, i know, one day, I will reach a stage where I will tell myself that it cannot go anymore like this and cannot just continue to live this.....

SAFE, LIFELESS, BORING AND POINTLESS LIFE. I will not be able to bear the hopeless emptiness beyond that point, the hopeless emptiness!

that day, my life will start. for now, I want to be safe, hating myself, knowing that may be if I throw myself full throttle with every thing I WANT to do, I may get the life of my dreams! when i know that either I WIN or PERISH

one day.

Neber Eber give up on life!

giving up was not a choice then. I did not. I survived to see this day.

these are not the best of times either. giving up is still not a choice.

it will never be.

totd!

My life, badly, badly, needs a re-formatting!

totd

one day you will stand before your GOD and ask why did life turn out this way?! he will question you back and say, well...i sent you to be happy, figure your way out and make choices that bring cheer to you and your folks! you screwed up and now you are blaming me!!! go to hell! :P
