Whenever the name of the world's most influential entrepreneurs is taken, then there should be no other name in it, a name definitely comes. And that name is STEVE JOBS (Steve Jobs). APPLE Company's co-founder does not know this world as the world's only one successful entrepreneur, inventor and businessman, but is also counted among world's leading motivators and speakers.
So let's read -
Today, I feel proud to be in the convocation of one of the world's most famous universities. Let me tell you the truth; I have never passed a college; And for the first time today I have reached so close to a college graduation ceremony. Today I would like to tell you three stories of my life ... nothing more than just three stories.
My first story is about connecting dots. Within 6 months of enrolling in Reed College, I left the studies, but I went there somehow till 18 months after that. So the question arises why did I leave the college? Actually, it started before my birth.
My biological mother * was a young, unmarried graduate student, and she wanted to give me somebody else for adoption. But they had a good wish that any college graduate would adopt me. Everything was absolutely set and I was about to be adopted by a lawyer and his wife that suddenly the couple changed their mind and decided that they needed a girl. That's why, after midnight, my parents, who were then in the waiting list, were called upon to say, "We have a baby-boy, would you like to adopt him?" And he hastened yes.
Later my biological mother came to know that my mother is not a college pass and her father is not even near High School. Therefore, he refused to sign the Adoption Papers; But after a few months, after my assurance to send my college to my parents, she agreed. So that my life started like this and after seventeen years I went to college ... .Unfortunately I chose the college expensive as expensive as Stanford. All my deposits of my working-class parents started visiting my studies.
After 6 months I did not see any value in this study. I did not have any idea what I wanted to do in my life, and how college would help me in this. And from the top I was spending my parents' earnings throughout my life. So I decided to drop-out college ... and thought that would be good. At that time all this was quite scary for me, but when I look back, I think it was the best decision of my life.

As soon as I left college, the obligation to do the required classes was over. And I started to quietly class only my interest. All this was not so easy. I had no room to stay, so I had to sleep on the floor in the friends room. I used to eat food from the money returned from returning the coke bottle .... I used to walk every Sunday 7 miles to Hare Krishna temple, so that I can eat a meal for at least a week in the morning. It seemed to me quite well.
Whatever I did in my life because of my curiosity and intuition, it proved to be priceless to me later. Let me give an example. At that time Reed College was probably the best place in the world where Calligraphy * was taught. Every single poster in the entire campus, every single label would have had a beautifully calligraph from the lips.
Since I had been drop-out from college so there was no need to do normal classes. I decided that I would classigraphy and I would learn it well. I learned about serif and sans-serif type-faces; Learn also how to separate the space between different letter-combinations and what makes a good typography good. It was beautiful, it was so artistic that it could not be captured by science, and I liked it very much.
At that time there was little hope that I would use these things in my life. But when we were making the first Macintosh computer after ten years, I designed it in a Mac. And Mac became the world's first computer with beautiful typography. If I had not dropped out of college then I would never have MacThere are no ultiple-typefaces or proportionally spaced fonts, and because Windows has copied a Mac, it probably does not happen in any personal computer. If I had never done drop-out, then I would never have been able to do classes of calligraphy and then maybe the fonts that are in the personal computers would not have happened. Of course, when I was in college, Connecting dots was impossible; But after ten years, when I look back, everything looks very clearly. You can never pair dots by peeping into the future. You can only connect dots by looking at the past; So you have to believe that whatever is happening now, it will go ahead and connect somehow to your future. You have to trust in some thing - in your own guts, in your own destiny, your life or in your karma ... some thing I must believe ... because in this thing believing that dots will be going forward You will have the courage to listen to your heart ... even when you are walking on a different path ... and that will make the difference My second story is about love and loss. I got what I wanted soon. Woz and I was 20 years old when I started Apple Shirau from my parents' garage. We worked very hard and in 10 years Apple grew from two people to a company of $ 2 billion and 4000 people. We just finished our best creation Macintosh a year ago, I was thirty and I was fired from the company. Young Steve Jobs How can you be a fire from your created company? Well, as the company grew, we hired a talented man, whom I thought he would run company with me, first one year all went well .... But then there was a difference between the two of the company's future vision. The talk reached Board of Directors, and they supported him, so at thirty, I was fired ... publicly removed. The focus of my whole adult life was now over, and it was totally devastating. I did not really understand what I should do for the next few months. I realized that by accepting all this so easily, I have downgraded the entrepreneurs of my first generation. I met David Packard * and Bob Noyce * and apologized if everything happened to them. I had a huge public failure, once I thought about leaving the valley *. But gradually I realized that I am passionate about the work I am doing. Because of what happened in Apple, there is no shortage of my passion .... I have been rejected, but I still love my work. So I tried to start over again I did not think so, but now I think the good thing could not have been with me by firing from Apple. Now the burden of being successful has changed in the lightness of being a beginner; I was feeling myself feeling very free once again ... due to this freedom I went into the most creative period of my life. In the next five years I had a company NeXT and another company Pixar started, and during this time I met a very amazing lady, who later became my wife. Pixar created the world's first computer animated movie, "Toy Story", and is currently the most successful animation studio in the world. Apple bought NeXT by taking an unexpected step and I went back to Apple. Apple today uses technology developed by NeXT .... Now Lorene and I have a beautiful family. I can say with absolute surety that if I had not been removed from Apple, then all this would not happen to me. This was a bitter medicine ... but perhaps the patient needed it. Sometimes life stops you like this. Do not lose your faith. I can say with conviction that I just went ahead because I loved my work ... I love my work. You have to know what you really like to do, as much as it is necessary to find your love It is important to find work that you truly enjoy, your work will be a major part of your life, and the only way to be truly-satisfied is to do what you really think is a big task. To do bigger work. Education is the only way that you will to do that you enjoy. If you have not got that work yet, do not wait; Keep searching for it. As everything is connected to the heart, you will know when you get it ... and as it happens in a good relationship, it will be better with time .... Keep looking for it ... do not wait.My The third story is about death. When I was 17, I read a quote, which was like this, "If you live every day as if it is the last day of your life, then you will be proved right on some day." It has my mind An impression has been made, and since then ... For the past 33 years, I have risen up in the mirror every morning and have asked a question from myself, if this was the last day of my life, would I do what I do today? Am? And whenever for several consecutive days Wab "is not", I understand the need for some change. Remember that I will die very soon, it is most helpful for me to take major decisions of my life, because when one
