Life long sharing . . .

This is the speech given by Steve Job, the founder of Apple, for the Stanford University graduation commencement 2005.

The below blog has the complete transcript of the speech from this video.

I like this:

“Again, 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.”

“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.”

“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.”

Was kind of panic, worried and not able to focus these few days, after being told by my bro’s surgeon that the tumor looked malignant to his experience.

Today, finally managed to pull myself up. Was going through Jasmine Young’s blog as I haven’t followed up on what is happening in Japan recently (though I do pray hard for those surviving and undergoing hardship in their lives now.)

Then I bump into this from Jasmine Young where she commented on the panicking happening in Japan in general,

and it’s a knock straight on my head (当头棒喝）

“Life is not about staying alive, life is about living.”

“All this “assuming what could happen in worst case scenario!!” is disruptive distraction. A method that if applied in everyday life would be catatonic poison, preventing people from even getting out of bed in the morning.”

Ya, I must stay calmed and focus !!

Bought this book from Popular @RM5.90 only. Very good book.  You can find the URL to the eBook by clicking the picture above. In short, eat more vege and fruits, unprocessed and natural one. The author gives some sort of 10 rules to follow for healthy life, which some are quite interesting:

• Fruits for breakfast
• Don’t drink milk. Milk is the culprit of osteoporosis and may lead cancer ??.
• Take a lot of vegetables especially if taking meat
• No fast food (this one I like)
• Get away from sugar, medicine and supplements
• Exercise and enough sleep

And she mentioned about taking fruits before meal, at least 20 – 30 minutes before meal. What a coincident, my girls practise this too daily. Before lunch, after school, the first thing is the orange juice, then the bath, then rest for awhile, then only lunch.  mm.. interesting …

Just have a thought, how sad if these vege / fruits are poluted, like what happen in Japan now. It’s just like we the human being are killing ourselves. …
