Keep Going, Doing .. Until Death Do Us Apart




1st, this writing isn't mine. It's quoted from Steve Jobs, CEO of Apple Computer and of Pixar Animation Studios. Hopefully it benefits us somehow in our lives. It could be a warning as well. Having say that, just ignore that grandma (as in picture below) who seemingly enjoying her smoke as usual. Who told me the other day that smoking will shorten man's life? Hehehe...okay, fine! It's all the same with driving, watching tv etc. The only thing for sure is our death will come anyhow anytime. So, enjoy our lives while we're here.

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. It means to make sure everything is buttoned up so that it will be as easy as possible for your family. It means to say your goodbyes. 

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. 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. There is no reason not to follow your heart. If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?" And whenever the answer has been "No" for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something.

I'm pretty sure none of this would have happened if I hadn't been fired from Apple. It was awful tasting medicine, but I guess the patient needed it. 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. 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. So keep looking until you find it. Don't settle. 



So, how am i to resist this temptation?
