I'm not a Mac gal by any means, but I find myself deeply saddened by the loss of Steve Jobs, one of Apple's original founders. I always admired him and enjoyed how he always strove to be a creative entrepreneur. While mourning his loss, I found the Internet and Facebook to be peppered with quotes, images, and remembrances in his honor. I found a video of a commencement speech he gave to Stanford University graduation in 2005. Although I can't remember who gave my commencement speech in my undergrad graduation, I did graduate in 2005, so I'd like to pretend that Steve Jobs was giving this speech to my graduating class. At the end of the video, he begins to talk about death and living every day like its your last, and I found myself getting choked up. If I died tomorrow, would I be satisfied with what I've done so far? Am I really living my life to its fullest? Is my fear of taking risks, holding me back from finding my true passion in life? Am I happy with my career? His message truly continues to be a wonderful inspiration and the world will miss his calm encouraging nature. I'm sure in Heaven he's stirring things up and continuing to encourage people to look at things outside the box. In case you need a little inspiration or pick me up, here's the video that I was referring to:
