Three Key Success Principles Steve Jobs

Steve Jobs will be remembered as a pioneer and one of the creative innovators of our time in memory. In 2005, Jobs gave an address to graduates of Stanford University. In this he shares three basic ideas in his life who he was and how he lived influenced.

Exit No. 1 may fall into

Steve Jobs is a College Dropout. To visit, in fact, after six months of university courses that have little or no interest in him, and he knew that the cost of being his parents a small fortune, he did. This act frees up time hours "fall" for the classes of interest, including a class in calligraphy were.

Nothing he learned in this class seemed no practical application in his present life. But 10 years later, when was the development of the Mac, this information was the basis of the wonderful typography is now available.

Lesson: You have to trust that the points in some way related to the future, even if conducted in a strange way. By creating an empty new opportunities may exist if you let go of things you do not pass your passion.

# 2 is a partial loss of growth.

After 10 years in the development of Apple, Jobs was fired from the company started. He had hired someone who thought it would be important to a large extent for the company, but after an argument, one side was the table with the person and new jobs.

It was a devastating humiliation for employment - the loss of his business and a public failure. But he himself knew he loved what he was doing and decided to start over. NEXT, and finally founded Pixar, which finally produces the most successful animated story of the movie toys. He bought it in a strange turn of events, Apple has finally NEXT, and he is back behind the wheel of his former company.

Lesson: if you do what you love and you believe that your work is great, can not fail. The key is to keep an eye on what you like and do it every day.

# 3 "Live your life as if every day is the last day and that you are right."

When Steve first diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, the doctor has no time for him for 3 or 6 months. A biopsy later discovered that her cancer surgery was performed functional and successful.

For jobs, look death in the face gave him a new outlook on life and kept him on fire with an attitude "time is limited." He knew that after his own heart and intuition were the best path to success and not let the "other noise" to drown their voices. He did not want to live trapped by dogma or desire to live the life of another, but has remained true to his passion and his own destiny. And he lived his life as if every day could be the last.

Lesson: Live your life each day to stay away from those who try, you should keep out of your dreams. You know what you want, love, and to continue with the same sense of urgency.

In his last words before the graduating class, has left them with this thought:

Stay Hungry, Stay foolish. And always in search of your dreams.
