Once you learn that, you'll never be the

same again. (Steve Jobs)

"When you grow up you tend to get told the world is the way it is and
you're life is just to live your life inside the world. Try not to bash into
the walls too much. Try to have a nice family, have fun, save a little money.
That's a very limited life. Life can be much broader once you discover one
simple fact: Everything around you that you call life was made up by
people that were no smarter than you and you can change it, you can
influence it, you can build your own things that
other people can use.
Once you learn that, you'll never be the same again."

Steve Jobs
You cant 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.

Steve Jobs
Being the richest man in the
cemetery doesnt matter to me
Going to bed at night saying weve
done something wonderful thats
what matters to me.
The cure for Apple is not costcutting. The cure for Apple is to
innovate its way out of its current
predicament.

Steve Jobs: Life

Im an optimist in the sense that I believe humans are noble and
honourable, and some of them are really smart. I have a very
optimistic view of individuals. As individuals, people are inherently
good. I have a somewhat more pessimistic view of people in groups.

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 havent
found it yet, keep looking. Dont settle. As with all matters of the
heart, youll know when you find it. And, like any great relationship,
it just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking
until you find it. Dont settle.

Steve Jobs

Your time is limited, so dont waste it living someone elses life.

Dont be trapped by dogma which is living with the results of
other peoples thinking. Dont 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.

Will Smith
The first step before anyone else in
the world believes it is that YOU have to
believe it.
You dont try to build a wall. You dont set out and
say Im gonna build the biggest, baddest, greatest
wall that has ever been built. You say Im going to
lay this brick as perfectly as a brick can be laid. You
do this every single day, and soon you have a wall.

1650)
Mankind is like dogs, not gods - as long as you don't get mad
they'll bite you - but stay mad and you'll never be bitten.
Dogs don't respect humility and sorrow. Jack Kerouac
Its All a Matter of Perspective: To the optimist, the glass is
half full; to the pessimist, the glass is half empty; to the
management accountant, the glass is twice as big as it
needs to be. Anon
