Story of Steve Jobs

Got a mail from my dude, Kris with the title of "3 stories from Steve Jobs - a must read!" Well, usually i dont spend time reading these kinda article, but somehow it is from Kris, then it should be nice/interesting to read on. The article is written by Steve Jobs himself (one of the richest man in the world, CEO of Apple Computer & Pixar Animation Studios) about ups and downs of his life, from his college life until what he is right now, how he managed to get up from failure, disappointment; been around death of an incurable cancer which might caused his life. His article inspired me, a good motivation for those who is currently working.
I especially like these quotes: " Sometimes life hits you in the head with a brick. Don't lose faith. I'm convinced that the only thing that kept me going was that I loved what I did. 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. 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. "

"If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you'll most certainly be right." It made an impression on me, and since then, for the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: "If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?" And whenever the answer has been "No" for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something.
