Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish.


"No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don't want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life's change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new. Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic, but it is quite true.

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."

iSad




Today, I joined the world in mourning. We just lost the Thomas Edison of our generation. Steve Jobs, the guy who made this world better and cooler has lost his long battle to Cancer. He was just 56.

To my surprise, I felt like I lost someone dear - really. I was in the brink of tears when I read in the news that he left already. While his death was already expected (his latest picture was a giveaway), it still came as a  shocking news. And I couldn't help but conclude that Steve Jobs, even in his death, has continually rocked our world in more ways we have imagined.

So, let me say...

Thank you, Steve Jobs for the years you rocked our world. For making it better and cooler through your brilliant innovations. For all the "one more things". You will always remain a wonderful inspiration to this world that you just left.

Maraming, maraming salamat!
