Five or Eleven Quotes from Steve Jobs...
"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."
"I didn't see it then, but it turned out that
getting fired from Apple was the best thing that could have ever
happened to me. The heaviness of being successful was replaced by the
lightness of being a beginner again, less sure about everything. It
freed me to enter one of the most creative periods of my life."
"Being the richest man in the cemetery doesn’t
matter to me. Going to bed at night saying we’ve done something
wonderful, that’s what matters to me."
"We don’t get a chance to do that many things, and
every one should be really excellent. Because this is our life. Life is
brief, and then you die, you know? And we’ve all chosen to do this with
our lives. So it better be damn good. It better be worth it."
"Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid
the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked.
There is no reason not to follow your heart."
"Things don’t have to change the world to be important."
"If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking. Don’t 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."
"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. Right now the new is you,
but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and
be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic, but it is quite true."
"Sometimes life is going to hit you in the head with a brick. Don’t lose faith."
"Let’s go invent tomorrow instead of worrying about what happened yesterday."
"Stay hungry. Stay foolish."
