"Your time is limited. . . . have the courage to follow your heart and intuition."--Steve Jobs
“Your time is limited so don’t waste it living someone else’s life”—Steve Jobs.
Finished reading a book ‘Steve Jobs: The man who thought different’. Its catchy and realy made me to think about life.
From the start, his path was never predictable. Steve Jobs was given up for adoption at birth, dropped out of college after one semester, and at the age of twenty, created Apple in his parents' garage with his friend Steve Wozniack. Then came the core and hallmark of his genius--his exacting moderation for perfection, his counterculture life approach, and his level of taste and style that pushed all boundaries. A devoted husband, father, and Buddhist, he battled cancer for over a decade, became the ultimate CEO, and made the world want every product he touched.
This gracefully written biography of the founder and spirit behind Apple computers and the iworld covers is grand reading. Organizing her material around the three stories he told at his Stanford University commencement speech, author covers his life from conception and adoption to death as well as his remarkable career. There's plenty about the business world and about the development of personal computers but also details of his personal habits - eating, bathing, dressing - that will intrigue teen readers. Overall, she gets across the complexity of this flawed but visionary man. The book is thoroughly researched and documented with chapter-by-chapter endnotes
Author draws Steve Job’s convocation speach at Stanford University where he talks about connecting the dots. These dots are incidents of life and Steve Jobs believed that these dots connect somewhere. He says, dopping out from colleage, getting fired from Apple etc are such dots which ultimately resulted in to what he became or produced.
Our life has so many dots, which we never understand when we go through that phase. But, if we think back and try to connect the dots, the meaning comes out, the clear path comes out, then we understand why those dots came in our life at first place. Simply put we will understand all these dots contributed to what we are today.
Krishna says in BhagavtGita: ‘Nimitya matra bhav savyasachin’. He tells Arjuna, ‘everything is decided and you just become an instrument in my hand’. This is nothing but connecting the dots.
I don’t think our lives are different in anyway. Everything is predesided and we are supposed to be instruments and create a dot. Just think back on the number of dots of our life and all the dots have meaningful turns and have resulted in to where we are today. We seems not to understnd this and thus feel bad about the immediate results. But, in end, whatever happened, happened for good.
Connect those dots!!
