“Stay Hungry.Stay Foolish”

Filed under: Posts, MBA

"Again and again some people in the crowd wake up. And they demand room for bold gestures. The future speaks ruthlessly through them." - Anonymous Steve Jobs

 

And of course there are always large masses of people and other major forces which try to bring down the morale and energy of achievers. There are many naysayers who oftern discourage bold attempts. Perseverance is the key and it is major force which helps one to be focussed on the goal. If the makers of "Seinfeld" and "Friends" had accepted the initial reviews and feedback then the entertainment industry would have missed two most entertaining sitcoms of last decade.

 

“..you can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something — your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life.”

 

Steve Jobs,CEO of Apple is one person who belongs to this league. He has delivered one of the most inspiring talks to the students in the year 2006 at stanford univ. One can easily sense blend of philosophy and humbleness in his talk. His experience and life reemphasises the fact that the best lessons a person can learn is through shocks and after hitting the rock bottom.

 

Though the talk is more than 2 years old,the essence of the message is clear and loud. Steve Jobs’ intentions are very evident in his company’s promotion campaigns and product launches(check earlier post of iPhone). He makes sure that his products defies the exisiting theories within the industry segment and always bend the rules of the market and still gets away with it.

 

"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."

 

“No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don’t want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life’s change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new. Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic, but it is quite true.”
