"We’re born, we live for a brief instant, and we die." - Steve Jobs

It doesn't matter if you're a Mac or PC, you can't deny the technology world lost a real legend yesterday. In just thirty years, Steve Jobs has made a defining impact on the world. His story and legacy are the stuff legends are made of.

There are so many great life lessons to learn from Steve Jobs. These are my favorite quotes from him that came from his Stanford commencement speech in June 2005. It's definitely words I've been living by. It's what  I've been all about. I've said it before Never Settle!

"You can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. 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. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life.”

"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. 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 roll on. So keep looking until you find it. Don’t settle.”

“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 others’ 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.” 

"Stay hungry, stay foolish."

Rest In Peace Steve Jobs, you truly were truly a remarkable legend.
