At the end of this video, I felt as if I was reborn with a
new-found wisdom.

A new-found wisdom that could neither be found in text-books
nor lecture-rooms.

I believe that was clearly shown in yesterday’s thought-provoking
video.

Your next 15 minutes might be the most enlightening 15 minutes
of 2008.

That last part about death was paradigm-shifting wasn’t it?

Imagine the extraordinary things you could be doing now had
you asked yourself that one question every morning!

But before you do, let’s recap the important points made in Steve
Job’s speech.

Connecting The Dots

This insight is very important as it would help us in having
gratitude now – which if you’ve read my book, you’d know is the
greatest accelerator in living a life of abundance.

“Of course it was impossible to connect the dots looking
forward when I was in college. But it was very, very clear looking
backwards ten years later.”

Now, let’s find out why this is important:

1) It’s impossible to know what the benefit of something seemingly
disastrous and tragic is in the future.

In Steve Job’s example, getting fired from his own start-up company
proved to be what he needed in order to go through the best phase of
his life to date.

“It freed me to enter one of the most creative periods of my life…
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.”

Steve Jobs founded NeXT.

He also founded Pixar, which produced one of the best animated
movies so far – I know Toy Story was really a bundle of joy for me
and millions of kids worldwide.

He also found the love of his life.

How could we use this newly-found insight to our advantage?

Simple.

If we were to encounter something as or more disastrous and tragic
than what Steve Jobs did, we only have to have faith and trust that
the Universe has something GREATER in store for us.

Of course, we’ll have to look for the opportunity behind the
adversity and remember:

“It was awful tasting medicine, but I guess the patient needed it.”

Steve Jobs also gave us a word of encouragement to continue doing
what we love, no matter what, and NOT TO SETTLE.

Just like how Sylvester Stallone did - like I discussed in a previous post.

Just like every success story we’ve heard and we’ll hear in the years to
come.

Just like the success stories you and I, my friend, are going to create.

Again, this is discussed in more detail in my book which you can
get for free at the “A Gift For You” section.

2) Live every day as if it was your last.

I know that sounds clichéd, but I just tried asking myself this question
for a few hours and it has really led me to doing things that I would
never have otherwise done.

Like how I smiled at a stranger at the mosque.

Or how I decided to write this post for you although I’m working early
tomorrow.

So I suggest you try it out to feel an inner peace like you’ve never
felt before.

Ask yourself:

“If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what
I am about to do today?”

Because when you ask that question, like Steve Jobs said “There is
no reason not to follow your heart.”

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.

Read that again, it’s very important.

Are you starting to see what have been stopping us from living
life to the fullest?

It’s our Ego’s my friend.

If we get rid of that, I believe it would lead us to a life of divine
guidance, and thus definitely a life of abundance.

3) Live YOUR life.

Or better put by Bon Jovi, “It’s MY life, It’s NOW or NEVER!”

“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.”

I couldn’t have put it any better myself.

That’s great, great advice!

Wonderful! Thank you Steve!

I think as teens and youths, we sometimes feel obliged to live by
the rules set by adults, or at least by our parents.

I feel that a lot, simply because I believe they’ve been around longer
but recently I realized that the rules are set more to restrict than to
keep things in order

So that’s going out of the window! ;)

What’s in now?

“STAY HUNGRY. STAY FOOLISH”

Didn’t I tell you that watching this video is as good as graduating
from Stanford, and dare I say better.

So my friend, start living these principles.

I know I have already set the wheels in motion.

Saif Improvement for the day: Connecting the dots can only
be done in the future so have a little faith whenever something
seemingly disastrous turns up.

Ask “If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what
I’m about to do today?” and lastly,”STAY HUNGRY, STAY FOOLISH”
