The blog post discussion on Steve
Jobs: “How to live before You die”
The one web video that stroked my curiosity was with speaker
Steve Jobs; he spoke on “ How to live before you die”. The college drop out
spoke on how he was put up for adoption and found what he loved to do at an
early age. After sitting in a typography class he knew that was what he wanted
to do since the age of 20. He thought typography was fascinating, and later
included it into his computer programming on the new invented Macintosh.
Steve Jobs really inspired me with his simple speech of
encouragement and optimism. After being fired from Apple he was able to create
two companies that are world renown to this day. His company Next was bought by Apple and Pixar is the 1st successful
animated studio in the world. Expressing to the audience not to lose faith even
when life hits you in the head with a brick is one statement that many leaders
of a company could relate to. Jobs also stated that the one thing that kept him
going was that he loved what he did, and that you gotta find what you love;
that’s with work and with your lovers.
Your Work is going to fill a large art 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 and don’t settle.
As matters of the heart you’ll know, when you find it,
And in like any great
relationship
It just gets better and better
as the years roll on
So keep looking
Don’t Settle.

I am inspired by the message Steve Jobs sent through the web
video. He makes me not want to stop pursuing brand identities or strategies to
create a culture that will stick from decades to a lifetime of generations. He
really helped me want to overcome adversities when they come, because if he
could be fired from the company he started then rehired that means, everything
happens for a reason and a season. I won’t be trapped by dogma; which is living
with the results of other people’s thinking or will I let the noise of others’
opinions drown out my own inner voice. Honestly Steve Jobs speech helped me
development a deeper knowing on what I need to do as a CEO. I must “ have the
courage to follow my heart and intuition because they somehow already know what
I truly want to become. Everything else is SECONDARY”. I want to be hungry and
foolish for greatness and substantial success.
