THE 3 STORIES& A MANTRA
THE 3 STORIES& A MANTRA
Connecting the dots. .
You can’t connect the dots looking forward, you can connect them only looking backwards. And believing that the dots will connect give you the strength to follow your heart. ”
“
If you live each day as your last, someday you will most certainly be right.
“
”What if it were the last day of my life?
Embarrassment, fear of failure and the load of expectations.
Your time is NOW.

THE VALUES
Keep looking, don’t settle
Always curious.
Never satisfied with himself.
Keeps expanding his horizons, computing, music, movies and what not..
Love what you do
He says, “Find what you love, don’t waste time, do it.” Simple as that.
Madly in Love with technology.
Never Lose Faith
Had to grow up knowing he was unwanted.
Fired from Apple Inc in 1985. The company he began.
Caught a pancreatic cancer in 2004. Never stopped working. Recovered within no time.
Not many know, but these words first came at the back of a paperback published in California in the early 60s, and never really gained attention until Steve Jobs uttered them at the Stanford Commencement Speech.
Stay Hungry, Stay Foolish“ ”
He's an aesthete, an artist; driven to make a dent in the universe. -Leander Kahney, Inside Steve’s Brain
He, of all the leaders in the industry, has been the most inspiring. -Bill Gates, his archrival.
Jobs is notoriously touchy, but he is changing the world, and forces competitors to do better just to try to keep up -Techcrunch.com.
