Career Change - Steve Jobs - Fired From Apple
Wednesday, June 29, 2005 at 08:31AM Editor: When I meet someone who has been made redundant I want to shout 'THE GRASS IS GREENER' and 'LIFE WILL BE BETTER' please HEAR ME'! You can find your dream job and don't stop until you do.
Listen to what Steve Jobs has to say
'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.'
This is an excerpt from the text of the Commencement address by Steve Jobs, CEO of Apple Computer and of Pixar Animation Studios, delivered on June 12, 2005, at Stanford.
