I ate 5 apples today. and every time i took a bite, my thoughts belonged to a genius man and his speech i use as a guide in life. i have hung the best part on the door of my closet and that paper was the first one when i got the closet.
I managed to find it on the internet and I wanted to show you guys why he's is one of my biggest idols.
- even though i have some "problems" with the products his company makes, i have always admired him.
His quotes and speeches always made me want to believe and fight for my dreams.
COMMENCEMENT SPEECH AT STANFORD UNIVERSITY, 2005
"Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered 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 lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart."
"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 others' opinions drown out your own inner voice."
ALLTHINGSD CONFERENCE, 2010
"There's nothing that makes my day more than getting an e-mail from some random person in the universe who just bought an iPad over in the UK and tells me the story about how it's the coolest product they've ever brought home in their lives. That's what keeps me going. It's what kept me five years ago, it's what kept me going 10 years ago when the doors were almost closed. And it's what will keep me going five years from now whatever happens."
There were 3 Apples, that changed the world. The one Eva ate, the one fell on Newton's head, and the one Steve Jobs half-bitted.
