Picture: Love lifts us up where we belong, far from the world below... (Joe Cocker & Jenifer Warnes).
You might remember the very touching and inspirational speech by Randy Pausch? Do you remember him saying that walls are there for testing your determination? And for many the current unpleasant economical situation is testing our determination. I recently met a fine young man who is contemplating his future after university. For advice I sent him another speech by a very famous American. This American fought a deadly disease recently and in his moving speech, he stressed the importance of working with passion. He urges us to be curious and always live every day like it is your last day. His near death experience showed him to follow his heart as only with hindsight one can “connect the dots”. He was given away by his mother, he dropped out of college and he did not have an own room to sleep in. And he went to found Pixar and Apple. He is Steve Jobs.
