Think Big, Dream big

I was prompted to look at some videos of Steve Job since practically everyone is talking about him. Without further explanation you should probably know him as the visionary founder of the technology-giant Apple. I almost teared looking at his passion working on his dream. He's undoubtedly changed the world with his innovation.
From his first appearance of decent look on the big screen when he first created iMac, all along his life he's worked his best to come out with something impressive, until today where he looks all scrawny and fragile, his passion and burning desire in him still ignites. Look at the way he gave his speeches on stage, despite fighting the battle of his health, is delivered so eloquently, and has enabled him to present himself and his messages articulately, which certainly has impressed me, and i believe, the people around the nations- the audiences down the stage and his ardent supporters.
I wasn't a big fan of him. But i can certainly say i have adored him more than i had before this. People like this deserve full respect and the values he possessed shall be uphold and looked up to.
This attribution should end with one of his famous quote

“Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of other's opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.”


Another inspiring person who makes incredible amount of money in every single tick of the clock with his intelligence- Bill Gates.

Bill Gates recently gave a speech at a high school about 11 things they did not and will not learn in school. He talks about how feel-good, politically correct teachings created a generation of kids with no concept of reality and how this concept sets them up for failure in the real world.

Rule 1: Life is not fair - get used to it!

Rule 2: The world won't care about your self-esteem. The world will expect you to accomplish something BEFORE you feel good about yourself.

Rule 3: You will NOT make $60,000 a year right out of high school. You won't be a vice president with a car phone until you earn both.

Rule 4: If you think your teacher is tough, wait till you get a boss.

Rule 5: Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. Your grandparents had a different word for burger flipping: they called it opportunity.

Rule 6: If you mess up, it's not your parents' fault; so don't whine about your mistakes, learn from them.

Rule 7: Before you were born, your parents weren't as boring as they are now. They got that way from paying your bills, cleaning your clothes and listening to you talk about how cool you thought you were. So before you save the rain forest from the parasites of your parent's generation, try delousing the closet in your own room.

Rule 8: Your school may have done away with winners and losers, but life HAS NOT. In some schools, they have abolished failing grades and they'll give you as MANY TIMES as you want to get the right answer. This doesn't bear the slightest resemblance to ANYTHING in real life.

Rule 9: Life is not divided into semesters. You don't get summers off and very few employers are interested in helping you "FIND YOURSELF". Do that on your own time.

Rule 10: Television and video games are NOT real life. In real life people actually have to leave the coffee shop and go to jobs.

Rule 11: Be nice to nerds. Chances are you'll end up working for one.

All these has challenged my thoughts about life!
