ADVICE TO THE GRADUATE

By Steve Jobs

Excerpted from the Commencement Address by Steve Jobs, Chairman & CEO of Apple Computer and Co-Founder of Pixar Animation Studios, delivered on June 12, 2005 at StanfordUniversity, Palo Alto, California

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 4000 employees. We had just released our finest creation – the Macintosh- a year earlier, and I had just turned 30. And then I got fired. How can you get fired from a company you started? Well, 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. When we did, our Board of Directors sided with him. 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 really didn’t know what to do for a few months. I felt that I had let the previous generation of entrepreneurs down- that I had dropped the baton as it was being passed to me. I met with David Packard and Bob Noyce and I tried to apologize for screwing up so badly. I was a very public failure, and even thought about running away from the valley.

But something slowly began to dawn on me – I still loved what I did. The turn of events at Apple had not changed that one bit. I had been rejected, but I still in love. And so I decided to start over.

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. Pixar went on to create the world’s first computer animated feature film, Toy Story, and is now the most successful animation studio in the world. 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. And Laurene and I have a wonderful family together.

I’m pretty sure none of this would have happened if I hadn’t been fired from Apple. It was awful tasting medicine, but I guess the patient needed it. 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 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.

TCA CRUEL LOVE

Pasukan na naman at second year na si Deriryl Mayor na may kursong BS in Information Technology sa Tarlac College of Agriculture. Kinaumagahan, unang araw ng klase habang siya’y naglalakad sa boulevard patungo sa kanilang Institute ay bigla siyang napahinto dahil may kumausap sa kanyang hindi kilalang dalaga.
“Puwedi ko bang malaman kung saan yong Computer Laboratory, bago pa lang kasi ako rito eh.”
“M-malapit lang sa Institute of Engineering, If you want sabay nalang tayo, papunta rin ako doon..Ano nga pala pangalan mo?” sabi ni Deiryl na medyo nahihiya dahil ubod ng ganda ang kanyang kausap.
“Ako nga pala si Karen Racal”. Inabot niya ang kanyang kamay kay Deiryl at kinilig naman yong binata dahil first time ever niyang makipagkamayan sa ganito kagandang dilag. Patuloy lang sila sa paglalakad habang nagkwe-kwentuhan.
“May lagnat ka ba? Namumutla ang mukha mo eh.” Dugtong ni Karen dahil napansin niya ang maputlang kaanyuan ng mukha ni Deiryl.
“Ah..hindi.. normal na sa akin ito. Naaarawan kasi” ang palusot naman ni Deiryl na hindi maitago ang paghanga sa kausap.
` “Transferee ka ba dito, saang iskul ka galing?” sabi ni Deiryl na medyo pinapagpawisan na at dinukot ang panyo sa kanyang bulsa.
“Sa Tarlac State University, lumipat ako dahil malapit lang ang bahay namin, diyan lang sa Bonifacio Street. Ano nga pala ang pangalan mo.” tanong ni Karen.
“Just call me Dear in short for Deiryl Mayor, bakit ka nga pala pupunta sa Computer …Lab.? May klase ka ba doon?”
“You’re right, first subject ko, multi media and Web Design kay Professor Yasay”. Nagulat naman si Deiryl dahil classmate pala niya ang dalagitang ito.
“Huh?! What a coincidence! Eh, the same pala tayo ng destination! Ang pabiglang sabi ng binata na lubos ang kasiyahan, nakamayan na nga niya ang dalaga ay kamag-aral pa niya ito! Patuloy lang ang kanilang bolahan ah este kwentuhan hanggang nakarating na nga sila sa kanilang destinasyon (Comp lab). Nakasara pa lamang ito sapagkat maaga pa 7:00 AM. Palamang habang 8:00 AM naman ang kanilang klase. Naupo palang sila sa mga bench sa labas ng building. Napawi na ang hiya ni Deiryl sa dalaga dahil sa haba ng kwentuhan nila ay nagawa na niyang pakisamahan ng maayos ito.

(itutuloy….)

STUPID ITS

It’s stupid to say I’m yours
For you not take me
It’s stupid to say I’ll miss you
For you I just think I’m crazy
It’s stupid to say I care
For I know you care for him
It’s stupid to say I’ll wait
For he’ll be there forever
It’s stupid to say I’ll get over you
For I know I’ll never will
It’s stupid to say I’ll need you
For that’s not how you feel
It’s stupid to say you’re in my mind
For in yours I want to be there
It’s stupid to say you’ll be happy with me
For I’m sure you’re with him
It’s stupid to say you’re my life
For you won’t die for me
It’s stupid to say I’ll be patient
For he won’t set you free
It’s stupid to say I’ll be lonely without you
Guess to love to see me cry
It’s stupid to say I Love You
So I have to say goodbye!
