Нашла сегодня в Youtube выступление Стива Джобса перед выпускниками Стенфорда. В суете наших дней мы забываем самое главное, что мы смертны, что времени нам дано совсем, совсем мало. Это выступление надо слушать регулярно, что бы напоминать себе про это...Удивительный человек:
Connecting
the dots
..it is
impossible to connect dots looking forward, but it was very very clear looking
backwards.…you have to trust that the dots will be somehow
connected in the future, you have to trust in something…because believing that
the dots will be connected down the road will give you the confidence to follow
your heart even when it leads you out of the well worn path, and that will make
all the difference.
Love and
loss
…I still
loved what I did…I’ve been rejected, but I was still in love and so I decided
to start over…The heaviness of being successful was replace but the lightness
of being the beginner again, less sure about everything…It was awful tasting
medicine but I guess the patient needed it. Sometimes life is gonna hit you in
a head with a brick. Do not loose faith…You’ve got to find what you love and
that is as true for work as for your lovers. You work is gonna fill a large
part of your life and the only was to be truly 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
have not found it yet keep looking and do not settle. As 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. So keep looking, do not settle!
Death
…If you
live each day as if it was your last- someday you will most certainly be right…
If today was the last day of my life what I an gonna do, what I am about to do
today? And whenever the answer has been “no” for two any days in a row I know I
need to change something. Remembering that we all going to be dead soon is the
most important tool I ever encounter to help me make the big choices in life. Because
almost everything: all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment
or failure, these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what
is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I
know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to loose. 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 don’t want to die to get there. 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 up the old to make wave for the new. Right now the new
is you! But some day, not too long from now you will gradually become the old
and be cleared away…Your time is limited, so do not waste it living someone else’s
life. Don’t be trapped by dogma, which is living with results of other people
thinking. Do not let the noise of others opinion drawn 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…Stay hungry, stay foolish!
Stay hungry, stay foolish!
Stay hungry, stay foolish!
