In The Words Of Steve Jobs (1955-2011)

republic The PEOPLE’s Digest ~ In The Words Of Steve Jobs (1955-2011)

This piece is a tribute the tech visionary,industry titan  Steve Jobs who has recently passed away at the age of 56.

Down below you’ll be reading memorable words uttered by the phenomenal man who had been the legendary co-founder and CEO of Apple.

Stay hungry,stay foolish.

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 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’m convinced that about half of what separates the successful entrepreneurs from the non-successful ones is pure perseverance.

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… You can quote them,disagree with them,glorify or vilify them,but the only thing you can’t do is ignore them because they change things… they push the human race forward,and while some may see them as the crazy ones,we see genius,because the ones who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world,are the ones who do.
  
 

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.

Rest in peace Steve Jobs.
