my newest inspiration: steve jobs

this week, i have been really anxious through out.a lot of questions unanswered.a tough decision to make.and just a few days left to beat the ultimatum.i searched for clues and answers everywhere.from colleagues, friends, my mentor, from a janitor (yes seriously), from the building security guard and the list continues. but all they could answer me is, "it's for you to make jas" (yeah right!)

in my quest, stumbled upon the resignation of steve jobs.
"Apple chief executive Steve Jobs, who almost single-handedly changed the way people around the world consume music, the Internet and even TV, announced late Wednesday that he has resigned as leader of the company he co-founded in his parents’ garage."


and just like the stalker that i am, i went through every link that i can find for him. guess what? this link im going to share next is the thing i actually needed to hear. 

these are some excerpts which i draw some inspiration, just read on:

"you can't connect the dots looking forward, you can only connect them looking backwards. you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. you have to trust in something. gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever."

"sometimes life's gonna hit you in the head with a brick. don't lose faith."

"i am 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 work, as it is for your lovers."

"remembering that i'll be dead soon is the most important tool i've ever encounteres 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."

"your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life.dont be trap by dogma which is living with the result of other people's thinking.don't let the noise of other people's opinion drown out your own inner voice.and most important, have the courage to follow ur heart and intuition.they somehow already know waht you truly want to become everything else is secondary."

mr. steve jobs, i thank you for giving me the inspiration today! you don't know how much peace of mind you offered today! you are now added to my list of inspirational people!
