Great Quotes: Work Wisdom From Steve Jobs

This week, Rajesh shared 11 Insights from Steve Jobs – insights ranging from design to people to work. Each insight is a gem – and hats off to Rajesh to have collected them from all over the web.

Here are a couple of gems on “doing what you like and following your heart” –

“We don’t get a chance to do that many things, and every one should be really excellent. Because this is our life. Life is brief, and then you die, you know? And we’ve all chosen to do this with our lives. So it better be damn good. It better be worth it.”

“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”

I have written earlier (with quotes) on similar subjects like following your energies, doing what you like, following your passion to make a difference. These insights from Steve are an excellent addition to my collection of great quotes on doing what you like!

Amazing how such simple quotes can make your day and leave you with a dose of inspiration.

Inspiration, afterall is like a good bath – you need it daily! 🙂
