Inspiration

Steve Jobs, co-founder of Apple, passed away yesterday.  I regret that not being an Apple freak meant that I really didn't know or follow this guy. In just the last 12 hours I've learned and read a good deal about him.  Besides being a brilliant creative self starter, he was an inspiration and motivator to many.  Here are some meaningful quotes that have been popping up on social sites today.
"You can't connect the dots looking forward...you can only connect them looking backwards"
"I'd been rejected but I was still in love."
"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."
- Steve Jobs Stanford University Commencement Speech 2005
