wish upon a star
I've been up to my neck in preps, let's not go there tho. On a different note, watched Walt Disney World Resort on tape just an hour back and I'm really amazed. All I can say is that I can't wait to go to Florida! It's gonna take more than a week!
Got yet another email at work today from Yappy, it's quite a brillant speech, so thought I'd share certain paragraphs which inspired me for reading pleasure... :) After reading it this afternoon, I started to wonder when I'd ever be able to write the story of my life...I guess I'm working towards it. We all are, aren't we?
Stanford Report, June 14, 2005 'You've got to find what you love,' Jobs says. This is the text of the Commencement address by Steve Jobs, CEO of Apple Computer and of Pixar Animation Studios, delivered on June 12, 2005.
"I'm pretty sure none of this would have happened if I hadn't been fired from Apple. It was awful tasting medicine, but I guess the patient needed it. Sometimes life hits you in the head with a brick. Don't lose faith. I'm convinced that the only thing that kept me going was that I loved what I did. You've got to find what you love. And that is as true for your work as it is for your lovers. Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it. And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking until you find it. Don't settle. "
"Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because 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. "
Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish.
Thank you all very much.
Well, I stumbled on a wonderful photographer this evening and I've quite the mind to enlist his services. The way he captures movements is simply breath-taking!
"If you live each day as if it was your last, someday it'll most certainly be right"
