#6 Steve Jobs' Talk

This week's assignment from Mrs.Sally:

Listen Steve Jobs' 2005 Stanford Commencement Address 

And i think the five most important life lessons from Jobs's Stanford commencement:

1.The road to success isn't linear

Jobs faced many failures and setbacks on his road to success, but he used those experiences to fuel the fire of his ambition and create new opportunities for himself. The unique skills Jobs picked up after dropping out of college ended up being invaluable to his future success.

2.Finding what you love is the most important task of a lifetime.

If there's one message to take away from Jobs's Stanford commencement, it's that you must do anything and everything to find what you love, both in your work and in your relationships. Finding and doing what you love will energize your life every day and give you the patience and determination to turn your failures into opportunities.

Jobs says: "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."

Jobs explains that he was lucky to find what he loved to do early in life. His love for his work helped him get through the darkest time in his career.

3.Know that the universe has your back.

Although he didn't see it at the time, Jobs says that getting fired from Apple was the best thing that could have happened to him. The experience helped him to realize that setbacks are often blessings in disguise, and that life has a way of working out in our favor.

4.Live like you're dying.

Contemplating death isn't morbid -- it can, in fact, give greater meaning to your life, says Jobs, and help you to remember what's important.

5.Follow your own path.

If there's any one secret to Jobs's success, it's that he was true to himself and his own vision.

He said:"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 others' 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."
