Steve Jobs
is one of the most inspiring persons of our time. He is a pioneer of technology
that created an empire out of nothing, just following his heart. He presented a
speech in 2005 at the Standford University’s commencement about his life and
how he succeeded. He speaks about 3 steps in his life. The fist one is about
“connecting the dots”. A very inspiring phrase that he mentions is You can´t connect the dots looking forward,
you can only connect them looking backward which means that is only at the
end of every road that you understand how the different evince in your life
connect each other in order to create certain harmony. Only looking back at the
past you realize how you came to produce the best in your life.
The second
topic he develops is about love and loss. Steve advises that sometimes life is gonna hit you in the face
with a brick, don’t lose faith. He encourages to love what you do and to
improve that relationship with your work every time. His third topic he talks
about is death. He refers to it giving an example of his own life and how he
overcame pancreas cancer. His advice is that in the face of death all
superficial problems disappear and only the important things remain. His
message is also don’t wanting our life living someone else’s life.
I think that Steve Jobs is actually inspiring. I agree with you... He shows that what matters is beyond what we can see and touch... And he lived all his life following that idea and belief... That is what makes him be so great!!!
It seems that many of us find the phrase "connecting the dots backwards" quite inspiring. It encourages us to follow our herats and intuitions, something that many people do not dare to do. This is an idea worth spreading, no doubt about it!
How important faith is in our lives! Without it life wouldn't have any reason. It's the one that helps us to go on and overcome tough situations. It is also very important what he says about his own experience and how we sometimes pay more attention to material things instead of appreciating what's really important in life.
Life is long long journey filled with good and not so good moments. I agree with you in the fact that it does not matter how many times life hit us in our faces or how hard, we should always remember within hard times there comes peacefulness, joy but above all, redemptio :)
