TED: Steve Jobs - How to live before you die

After watching the Steve Jobs commencement speech at Stanford University lots of different thoughts went through my head. He mentioned how he was attending college with no reason in mind and that he actually dropped out to be able to drop in on the classes he liked. Its these little events that really interest me because such a turn of events at the time may seem like a huge risk but no one can tell what it will lead to in the future. It amazing to contemplate how such a small move in anyone’s life can have such a dramatic impact on the future of his or her existence. Steve also mentioned how getting fired from apple was the best thing that could of happened to him. It’s strange how something that most people would look at as a tragedy he looked at it as opportunity. It is this love and passion for his work that really sets him apart. It shows that if you really love to do something and are passionate about it there is nothing and no one that can stand in your way from achieving that goal.  The fact that apple let Steve Jobs go helped turn his life around and made him create some of the best creations we have on the world today. If it was not for that drastic turn of events in his life, Pixar Studios would have never been created and animated films may not be what they are today. Another way to look at it is if Steve were never fired from Apple he would of never entered the most creative years of his life and the company Next would have never been developed. This could have had a huge impact on Apple and they way they are perceived today. It amazing how time continues and the small events that take place can have the greatest impact on the future.
