"Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish"

Last June 14, Steven Paul Jobs, CEO of Apple Computer and of Pixar Animation Studios , a leading figure in the computer industry. More popularly known as Steve Jobs,delivered a very thought-provoking commencement address at the Stanford University.

It gave some eye-opener to those who have just graduated from college--or even to those who are already working.

" Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice…Remembering you are going to die is the best way to avoid the fear that you have something to lose. "

He talks about the journey of his life, which "started before I was born".He calls this "joining the dots".

" 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, "
