To memorize our great visionary, relentless inventor and tech titanic leader and an aspirator, Steve Jobs, I listened to his 2005 famous speech again, I was inspired to find my own direction and turn passion into benefit for people.
Steve Jobs' has left us so much. He was the best example how to be an invincible thinker - turning negatives into positives and turn passion into invention and success.
He was a relentlessly creator, inventor. He has leaded the trend of computer technology and all the world just follows and was inspired to be more creative for a decade. His i-products have a common character - that is simple but elegant, beautiful and user-friendly.
I extracted some main points from his speech in Red that I have been always appreciated and inspired -
Life is learning: All of his experiences became his sources of learning and he never wasted any of his experiences in life.
"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. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life."
His legacy shows -
All experiences in life will be connected, shaping our character that determines our destiny. So treat our Experiences as learning process and keep going and Always move forwards no matter happened.. All experiences, no matter it is positive or negative, from self or others, it will be useful if we learn from it.
His attitude to setback and adversity:
His attitude to death is one of his most powerful catalyst to his success:
"Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything — all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure - these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.
Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish.
This quote encourages people to be curious always and be audacious all the time, no any limiting factors will affect his passion. This is Steve Jobs' momentum and favourite quote.
He is not only an inventor and great tech titanic, but a spiritual icon. Steve Jobs' spirit will never die and he will always live in our mind.

His attitude to setback and adversity:
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. 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.
In his dictionary, there was no GIVE UP but restart.
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.

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. (drastic:intense, vivid and affected)
Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma (other people’s belief) — 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."
His Mottos:Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish.
This quote encourages people to be curious always and be audacious all the time, no any limiting factors will affect his passion. This is Steve Jobs' momentum and favourite quote.
"When I was 17, I read a quote that went something like: "If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you'll most certainly be right." It made an impression on me, and since then, for the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: "If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?" And whenever the answer has been "No" for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something."
He is not only an inventor and great tech titanic, but a spiritual icon. Steve Jobs' spirit will never die and he will always live in our mind.
