La última semana de enero 2010 la recordaremos por la enorme repercusión que tuvo, una vez más, la presentación de Steve Jobs con el último lanzamiento de Apple: el iPad.

A mi me ha hecho recordar el genial discurso que Steve hizo en Standford allá por el 2005. Probablemente lo habreís escuchado alguna vez, yo lo he hecho muchas y siempre me aporta y me hace recordar cosas importantes que ya sé, pero que muchas veces las tengo apartadas o casi olvidadas.

He recopilado mis frases preferidas, las que me ayudan a ponerme nuevos retos y a perseguir con ilusión los que ya tengo en mente. Aquí os dejo lo mejor de su discurso:

  • "You can´t connect the dots looking forward, you can only connect them looking backwards"
  • "You´ve got to find what you love, and this is as true for 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 founded yet, keep looking and don´t 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 were along. So keep looking, don´t settle"
  • "If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you most certainly be right. It made an impression on me. I´ve looked in the mirrow and ask myself: if today were the last day of my life, what I wanna do what I am about to do today, and whenever the answer is being no for many days in a row I know I need to change something"
  • "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 no to follow your heart."
  • "Your time is limited, so don´t waste it leaving someone else´s life, don´t live with the results of others people thinking.
  • But the most importat: have the courage to follow your heart and intuition, they somehow already know what you truly want to become, everything else is secondary"
