(Literally) Parts of Speech!!!



Steve Jobs’ speech at Stanford.
some of the lines from the most inspirational speech I have ever heard.
Its feels great to hear it again n again..
highly motivational.

Connecting the dots
“..And since Windows just copied the MAC… It’s likely that no personal computer would have them”(it was very funny)

“You cant connect the dots looking forward. You can only connect them looking backwards, so you have to trust that the dots will connect in your future” (looking back at his life)
“How can you get fired from a company you started???”
“I still loved what I did.”
“Getting fired from Apple was the best thing that could ever happen to me. The heaviness of being successful was replaced by the lightness of being a fresher again”

“Sometimes life can hit you on the head with a brick, but don’t lose faith”
“You got to find what you love, and that is just true for your work as it is for your lovers. Your work is going to fill 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. As with all matters of heart you will know when you find it, and like all relationship it just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking don’t settle!!!!!!”

About death
“If you live each day, as if it were your last. Someday you will be most certainly right.”
“Remembering that we all will be dead soon is th most important tool that I have ever encountered, to help me make the big choices in life, Because all most everything, all external expectations of pride or fear of embarrassment of failure, these things just fade away in the face of death, leaving only that is truly important, remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know, to avoid the trap of thinking that you have something to lose”

“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 only destination we all share, no one has ever escaped it, and that is as it should be. Because death is most likely the single best invention of life. Its lifes’ change agent , clears out the old to make way for the new. Right now the new is you, but someday not far from now, you will gradually become the old and cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic but its true. “

Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t let the noise of others opinions ground out your 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”
