I was lucky — I found what I loved to do early in life. Woz and I started Apple in my parents’ garage when I was 20. We worked hard, and in 10 years Apple had grown from just the two of us in a garage into a $2 billion company with over 4,000 employees. We had just released our finest creation — the Macintosh — a year earlier, and I had just turned 30. And then I got fired.

As Apple grew we hired someone who I thought was very talented to run the company with me, and for the first year or so things went well. But then our visions of the future began to diverge and eventually we had a falling out.So at 30 I was out. And very publicly out. What had been the focus of my entire adult life was gone, and it was devastating.

I didn’t see it then, but it turned out that getting fired from Apple was the best thing that could have ever happened to me. The heaviness of being successful was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner again, less sure about everything. It freed me to enter one of the most creative periods of my life.

During the next five years, I started a company named NeXT, another company named Pixar, and fell in love with an amazing woman who would become my wife. In a remarkable turn of events, Apple bought NeXT, I returned to Apple, and the technology we developed at NeXT is at the heart of Apple’s current renaissance.

You can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backward. 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. . because believing that the dots will connect down the road. will give you the confidence to follow your heart even when it would lead you of the well-worn path and that will make all the difference.

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.

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.

I lost my Job because of Covid at the time (And I was all set and ready to move to Italy). I moved to Rome in July 2020, and I'm still living here. Despite the fact that the restrictions and mandates were extremely difficult, I'm still living in Rome, and my future is still growing better and better.

Love this speech so much. Made my own tribute to Steve Jobs and this speech on my channel that I'd love to share with the world.

Apple was one of the most innovation ENTJ people to ever live on this planet. I am sorry he is gone. I never followed his life. I was to passive. I should have followed him. He experienced some of the MOST difficult aspects of starting the company when 70 banks turned him down for a loan to launch Apple nation wide. I was LUCKY to meet Bill Gates and Steve Ballmer during a Windows 2000 prep talk. I was also...the only person to shake my head when Steve Ballmer said "Dont worry, Linux is not a threat to Microsoft" ohh how wrong he was!

[narmeenqunbar]
