Over the past few months, I’ve been “standing on the edge of a precipice” (thanks Jacqui @gosocialsa for the analogy and the inspiration). I finally made my decision to follow my heart, and take a leap of faith. Although my mind was already made up, videos like this continue to inspire me and confirm that I’ve made the right decision.
Click on the link and take a look and listen to Steve Jobs’ speech at Stanford’s Commencement ceremony in 2005. Great life lessons.
My favourite Inspirations from this talk:
- You’ve got to find what you love. That is as true for work as for lovers.
- If you haven’t found it yet, don’t settle.
- Death is life’s change agent. Time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life.
- Follow your curiosity and intuition.
- Stay hungry. Stay foolish.
Great questions inspired by Steve Jobs:
- If you dropped out of college, what courses would you like to “drop in” on?
- If today were the last day in your life, would you want to do what you are doing today?
- What three stories would you tell a class of graduates, based on your life lessons?
I’d love to hear your thoughts – comment below!
Wow Pam! You can be so proud of yourself! Not everyone has the courage to make the jump but you are embracing everything that this adventure called Life has to offer...Steve Jobs offers some sound advice and good common sense, really - something I know that you have plenty of, along with a huge dollop of enthusiasm and gusto for what you do. No doubt in my mind about your success, Pamela. Life lessons already learned will only serve you well.
Thanks Jacqui - I truly appreciate your support and positive words, and I look forward to continuing to chat as I start this journey!
You can definitely see your expertise within the work you write. The arena hopes for even more passionate writers such as you who aren't afraid to mention how they believe. At all times go after your heart.
After I initially left a comment I appear to have clicked on the -Notify me when new comments are added- checkbox and from now on every time a comment is added I recieve 4 emails with the same comment. Is there a way you can remove me from that service? Thanks!
It is the best time to make some plans for the future and it's time to be happy. I have read this post and if I could I want to suggest you few interesting things or advice. Maybe you can write next articles referring to this article. I want to read more things about it!

Wonderful blog! Do you have any suggestions for aspiring writers? I'm hoping to start my own website soon but I'm a little lost on everything. Would you recommend starting with a free platform like Wordpress or go for a paid option? There are so many options out there that I'm completely overwhelmed .. Any tips? Thank you!
I visited several blogs however the audio quality for audio songs current at this website is actually fabulous.
Hello to all, how is everything, I think every one is getting more from this site, and your views are good designed for new visitors.
Hi there this is somewhat of off topic but I was wanting to know if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code with HTML. I'm starting a blog soon but have no coding skills so I wanted to get guidance from someone with experience. Any help would be enormously appreciated!
Asking questions are actually good thing if you are not understanding something completely, except this piece of writing gives pleasant understanding even.
obviously like your web site however you have to take a look at the spelling on several of your posts. A number of them are rife with spelling issues and I find it very bothersome to inform the reality on the other hand I'll surely come back again.
