An Inspiration

Steve Job's death is definitely a loss to the world, but his inventions will live forever. He had a vision when he was very young, a college dropout, found his passion and worked towards it. A vision that started in a garage is now worth billions of dollars. How many of us who have completed college, have actually found our passion and know exactly what we want? Bill gates and Albert Einstein were college dropouts too. Does that mean at a certain point education or rather going to school impedes your creativity? These people were just too smart for the system and were getting bored in school. While he was the brain behind the APPS and connecting the world, we cannot deny that it has given rise to some social issues. At least in the country I am in there is a rise in 'social retards'. People lack communication and definitely social skills.

He dropped out of school but he dropped in to do what interested him - Calligraphy, and ten years later it came in handy when he was designing Mac. As an educator I can never tell my students to quit school, that is never an option at least at where I am. But Ive always told them to never stop dreaming and aiming high. Its always nice to bump into your former students, receive a hug and know that they are doing well. The fruits of our labour may not be seen within the four or five years they are with us, but definitely in most cases its worth the wait, and to be thanked for playing a part in their lives.

Steve Job's words in one of his speeches is truly an inspiration: "When life hits you on the head with a brick, don't lose faith. You've got to find what you love. And that is as true for your work as it is for your lovers. Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking, dont settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it. And like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking until you find it, Don't settle".

Have I found what I love to do? Yes definitely! But I dont think this is the place to be doing what Im doing :P I shall keep looking :D
