Video: Steve Jobs' 2005 Stanford Commencement speech (Stanford.edu)
"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.
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.
"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."
"Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life"
"Stay hungry. Stay foolish."
Steve Jobs: Apple, Pixar, NeXT, Walt Disney

Stamp of approval: I’ve been accepted!!!
Woop Woop! I had just received a letter from AUT!!! A letter of acceptance for GradDip Advertising and Creativity, this is so awesome! It’s a one year full time course. Not too sure if it’s realistic but I’m hoping to finish it part time in a year and including some papers in summer school.
Can’t wait till I get till the ball gets rolling.
Eeek! Kinda nervous about tomorrow. I really need speak to Paul(Head of department) in regards to this. *Dumm dum duum* then will have to speak to manager to come to some sort of agreement without loosing my job!! *Eekie eeki moo moo.*
On a sidenote, Apple Ipad is out! Not too sure what I think about it just yet. Perhaps, I’m not quite the target demographic. Hmmm.. mind ponders.
oooh oooh! And I finally received my Onecard for Bobbie, CAPTIAN BOBBIE BANDIT !!!
*Bobbie is the name of Yean's bike. It's a Suzuki Bandit therefore its full name is Bobbie Bandit.
(Will post up photos soon)
