So I just read this article by Steve Job. CEO of Apple and Pixar animation studios.
I have to say, this guy really is inspiring.
Steve Job was adopted when he was just a baby . He wentto college but dropped out because his parents savings were not enough to pay for his tuition fees. But after dropping put, he could take classes that interested him rather than sitting for classes that didn't mean anything to him. So he took a calligraphy class and felt intrigued by it. He found out that it was an intriguing art that science can't capture. However he never knew that what he learned in calligraphy class would be applied later on in his life. And it did ! 10 years later when he was designing the Macintosh. It was the first computer that had beautiful typography and proportional spaced fonts. If he never had dropped out of college , he would never have taken this calligraphy course. And Mac would nevehve had these beautiful typography and Windows who copied Mac would never have had them.
Steve job started apple at his parents garage. In 10years, Apple grew to a company worth$2 billion and with over 4,000 employees. And by that tome he was just 30 years old. However, there was some disagreements between partners and himself. Which led to him getting fired. However, he did not give up. Instead he ventured into Establishing a company ie. Pixar animations and NeXT. which led to the creation of the worlds first animated feature film. Toy story. At the end, apple bought over NeXT and he returned to apple.
Steve quoted:
I'm pretty sure none of this would have happened if I hadn't been fired from apple. It was an awful tasting medicine but I guess the patient needed. 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. 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 hhehe 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 as the years roll on. Keep looking until you find it. Don't settle.
Steve job was diagnoses with pancreatic cancer. He was expected to live no longer than 6 months. His cancer was incurable . But after a biopsy test, doctors found out that his form of cancer was curable with surgery. He had the surgery and he is fine now.
He the said:
Your time is limited , so don't waste it living someones elses life. don't be trapped in dogma. which is living with the results of other peoples 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.
All I have to say after reading this is just that this guy truly is inspiring. And what he says is spot on. I always wonder why am I learning subjects that have no use to me . And that I'm not interested in. I find it a waste of my time. But, of course I cant do anything about it.
As for me, I have many interest: and sometimes it
Overpowers my thinking. And I don't know what I want or where I'm going.
I just hope that I can find what I really am truly passionate about.
Cheers~
Get well soon to Steve job. Legend
Apple won't be the same without you.
