Steve Jobs 1955-2011

I just read this one on Huffington Post and it rang true for me...

‎"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."

Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do. - Apple

Its always sad when someone we care about dies. My dad had pancreatic cancer and died in less than 6 months. Steve Jobs lived for 7 yrs. It helps when you are rich and you have good health care. Too bad everyone doesn't.

“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.” ~ Steve Jobs 2005

His Quote is such a inspriation. It is one thing we all have in common that we just know when it is our time. Living each day to the fullest is something I do try to do.

I love his 7th secret for success: Master the Message.

I was telling one of my employees the other day about ToastMasters and how important it was to improve her speech/presentation skills. She knows the info, now she has to master the delivery of the message.

Steve worked hard on improving his speech skills. He knew this was something he could do better and worked hard to change it.

Nothing wrong with tons of practice to get it "just right" ...
