Steve Jobs has left an indelible mark in our society. An icon of business and culture, the Apple co-founder was a public figure who remained enigmatic. In his 2005 Stanford speech, he speaks about "faith", about how one should trust that "it will all work out eventually".
I have often think about this.
About how what I do on a daily basis will amount to something in my life.
How to trust that the everyday steps will lead to something worthy, keeping within my tenets and vision of the "good world". I am a lucky, privileged person and often praise and thank for the life I have. Even if (as Jobs said) sometimes life hits you in the head with a brick.
Yep. When unexpected, unwanted, unplanned happens it is only human to feel frustrated and angry. It is OK to feel NOT OK. It is OK not to be positive about what is going on, about to outlook.
It has been 10 years in this blog and many bricks have hit my head, my life.
And I have learned to be that kind of person. I have learned to accept that often I've been unable to understand why (bad) things happen that way they do, struggling or even failing to reconcile negative emotions.
But I also have learned to believe that "it is impossible to connect the dots looking forward". Yeap. "you can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backward. So 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."
Accept the tears and the bad days. And then, get up. Do your best, and keep looking, keep trying. Keep looking until you find what ever you feel you need, whatever you feel you still need to continue searching for.
Don’t settle. Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish.
