Roads less taken…

Came across Steve Jobs giving a speech to some graduating class about three key incidents in his life. His description of the rocky road he’s had getting from starting Apple to getting kicked out of Apple to going back to Apple (with Pixar and NeXT along the way) is worth listening to.

“Sometimes life is going to hit you in the head with a brick. Don’t lose faith. I’m convinced that the only thing that kept me going is that I loved what I did.”

“Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose.”

I don’t always agree with (or like) Jobs, but those are words to live by.
