Funny that a non college graduate is now one of the most influential person today according to Time Magazine..
I'm talking about Steve Jobs.. one that changed the meaning of Apple.
I'm not really against formal education nor anti intellectual since I earned my masters (tuition fRee harhar) and was deans lister during my college days (damn my profs actually believed i was smart tsk tsk)..
Its just that life has this weird ways of imparting wisdom.
Life really is ironic.
You can view Steve Jobs' commencement address speech that strucked me and made me ponder over and over again here
Favorite quote from the video:
" it turned out that getting fired from Apple was the best thing that could have ever happened to me. The heaviness of being successful was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner again, less sure about everything. It freed me to enter one of the most creative periods of my life"
" You’ve got to find what you love... The only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking. Don’t settle. As with all matters of the heart, you’ll know when you find it"
"Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart."
"Stay hungry. Stay foolish."
