Lessons from Life beat The Finger, any day

Steve Jobs delivered the Keynote Address at Stanford University's 114th Commencement on June 12. The speech almost sums up his life, and distils three lessons Jobs says are important -

...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.

Sometimes life hits you in the head with a brick. Don't lose faith... You've got to find what you love. And that is as true for your work as it is for your lovers... And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking.

Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life... 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.
