the steve in me...

I was actually viewing Basic Instinct 2 over at Apple's Trailer web site when I thought to myself shouldn't I be more productive ?

Therefore, after viewing the trailer (which Sharon Stone thaught us about aging), i switched to other pages and then suddenly I was thinking of reading more about Apple's employees.

I tried to search for "Apple+employees" but don't really get the desirable search. Then I thought well maybe just search something about "steve job.."

and i found this site about his speech on life to graduates at stanford Universities during 2005. I remember I heard about the story but never quite read the full text.

It is a great speech because it touches on how a person went on to be adopted from his biological parents to college drop-out, keeping afloat a healthy and positive mind, went on the create the first ever GUI-computer and then at the age of 30, being fired and go back to square one. Restarted his life and at another peak, faced death from cancer threat and eventually survived.

A few meaningful quotes which would touch your soul...

On dropping out of college:

"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."

On having nothing to eat:

"I didn't have a dorm room, so I slept on the floor in friends' rooms. I returned coke bottles for the 5¢ deposits to buy food with. And I would walk the seven miles across town every Sunday night to get one good meal a week at the Hare Krishna temple."

On hitting rock bottom:

"Sometimes life hits you in the head with a brick.

Don't lose faith.

I'm convinced that the only thing that kept me going was that I loved what I did.

You've got to find what you love. And that is as true for your work as it is for your lovers. Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way 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 haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle."


On Death:

"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."


The most important things:

"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 other's 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."


The steve in me...

Reflecting that in me... I have had a struggled life.My teenage years was a painful one.Five years back, I was so sick that I thought I was dying, but somehow I survived.and all those bad experiences helped to evolve me into a better human. Wisdoms gained and forgiveness blossoms.Aging as we can't escape it, is a beauty which I am beginning to enjoy. The best way to do this is never allow yourself to be convinced that yesterday was always better then tomorrow. Do u trust this man?Period.

on true love..

I got this from fowarded email..

May all your love be as loving and strong.............

It was a busy morning, approximately 8:30 am, when an elderly gentleman in his 80's, arrived to have stitches removed from his thumb. He stated that he was in a hurry as he had an appointment at 9:00 am.

I took his vital signs and had him take a seat,knowing it would be over an hour before someone would to able to see him. I saw him looking at his watch and decided, since I was not busy with another patient, I would evaluate his wound.

On exam it was well healed, so I talked to one of the doctors, got the needed supplies to remove his sutures and redress his wound.

While taking care of his wound, we began to engage in conversation I asked him if he had a doctor's appointment this morning, as he was in such a hurry. The gentleman told me no , that he needed to go to the nursing home to eat breakfast with his wife.

I then inquired as to her health. He told me that she had been there for a while and that she was a victim of Alzheimer Disease. As we talked, and I finished dressing his wound, I asked if she would be worried if he was a bit late. He replied that she no longer knew who he was, that she had not recognized him in five years now.

I was surprised, and asked him. "And you still go every morning, even though she doesn't know who you are?" He smiled as he patted my hand and said. "She doesn't know me, but I still know who she is."

I had to hold back tears as he left, I had goose bumps on my arm, and thought, "That is the kind of love I want in my life." True love is neither physical, nor romantic.

True love is an acceptance of all that is, has been, will be, and will not be.

Oh, by the way, peace is seeing a sunset and knowing who to thank.

"The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the best of everything that comes along their way."

If you want romance, you got it.. ya.

The essence of color is empty one

My friend put this in its MSN's title..

"With more success, comes greater problems along with greater ability to solve them"

This is funny and truthful and it helps to explain the following terms.

色即是空,空即是色!

Everything will go back to zero eventually.

果敢决断

胆小的人总是迟迟不做决定,总是在等待,可等到所有事实都一清二楚时,又失去决策良机。成功人士深知,机会属于迅速、坚定和果断敢的决断者。要对某件事做出决定。就必须抓住机会,迅速作出判断,然后毅然决然地付诸行动。不能等到所有行动都一目了然,或等到事实明了一半才做决定。” 人永远得不到自己所需要的全部消息。无论如何,当机力断,拿出勇气!迅速行动!敢作敢为!不要被信心不足档着道路。信心来自行动。- 理查,狄维士 (安利创办人)

Those with no guts will find it hard to be decisive, one can't keep waiting until the condition has proved it to be ripen when opportunity becomes matured. Those who is successful know it well that opportunity has inherent relationship with speed, perserverence and risk taking. In order to become decisive, one has to grab opportunity and come to conclusion immediately only to follow-up with appropriate action plans.

There is no way that things would be apparent before making the right move. We have to gamble to certain extend because human will never have the luxury of having enough information to decide on.

Rules of thumb are; identify opportunities all the time, be courages, speed up, dare to fail and never let lacking of confidence be the hindrance of the path to success which requires one to be adventurous. Confidence is defined with actions. - Rich Devos (Amway co-founder)
