You might not like or want
one of Apple’s products (which I sincerely doubt anyway), but you must have
recognition for Steve Jobs' visionary ideas.
You think the fact that interest in
Jobs increased yet after his death is lame?
Boooring!! It’s like
getting angry with the new fans of the artist you have been loving for years.
This is ridiculous.We ought to make use of every opportunity to learn about good things. And
good things simply deserve appreciation.
If you lack motivation,
if you lose your faith in yourself and your dreams coming through, just read
one of his quotes or listen to this amazing speech given at Stanford University
in 2005. See the difference between what you are told to do and what you feel it's right. Think different.
“When you grow
up you tend to get told the world is the way it is
and your 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 life, have fun, save a little
money.
That’s a very limited life. Life can be much broader once
you discover one simple fact,
and that is - 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.
The minute that you understand that you can poke life and
actually something will,
you know if you push in, something will pop out the other side,
that you can change it, you can mold it. That’s maybe the
most important thing.
It’s to shake off this erroneous notion that life is there
and you’re just gonna live in it,
versus embrace it, change it, improve it, make your mark
upon it.
I think that’s very important and however you learn that,
once you learn it,
you’ll want to change life and make it better, cause it’s
kind of messed up, in a lot of ways.
Once you learn that, you’ll never be the same again.”

“Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The
troublemakers.
The round pegs in the square holes.
The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of
rules. And they have no respect for the
status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify
or vilify them.
About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them. Because
they change things. They invent.
They imagine. They heal. They explore. They create. They
inspire.
They push the human race forward.
Maybe they have to be crazy.
How else can you stare at an empty canvas and see a work of
art?
Or sit in silence and hear a song that’s never been written?
Or gaze at a red planet and see a laboratory on wheels?
We make tools for these kinds of people.
While some see them as the crazy ones, we see genius.
Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can
change the world,
are the ones who do.”
