Let's learn life lessons from Steve Jobs



Who doesn't know about Steve Jobs, the iconic figure of the 21st century who founded Apple company and changed the patterns of the technological world? He was not born with a silver spoon, but made his destiny by sheer hard work and tremendous patience. Most people know about his biography but let's ponder over his quality traits which make him unique and successful despite all the upheavals in his life.

  • Don't complain for the lack of resources, find the options which are available and make the best use of time.  Steve Jobs dropped out of Reeds College, as his parents could not afford the high fees of the college. He used this as an opportunity to learn calligraphy which made him more creative and this artistic creativity contributed a ground for making Apple products beautiful.

  • Rejection comes in life to create another opportunity. When Jobs was fired from Apple, he founded another company NeXT Inc and funded in Pixar, thus again became instrumental in making new technologies available to the world.

  • Aim high. Jobs always talked about changing the world and he himself proved by his own work. High ambitions keep us motivated for a longer period.

  • Seek ultimate truth.   Since College life Jobs had an interest in spirituality to seek the real meaning of life. The way of searching truth is such that even if one doesn't get enlightenment, he certainly becomes a very matured and intuitive person.

How To Attract the Best in Life

Each one of us wants the best experiences in our life. But there is a gap between us and the best experience which can't be bridged until we develop a true understanding of life. To develop a true understanding of life, we need to understand the basic nature of the body-mind mechanism. Our body reacts the way our mind is programmed, so to get success we need to equip our mind with positive ideas. We will understand this theory of programming our mind with positivity in the following paragraph:           " We become what we think " is an old saying which has been preached since ages by the enlightened masters and experienced people to make us conscious about our thoughts. The reason behind this saying is that our own core beliefs shape the circumstances of life .  If we have cultivated only negative feeling like fear of failure, fear of disease, jealousy, anxiety etc., we witness the negative consequences of these deep-rooted beliefs throughout our life. Therefo

How to Sleep Well- A simple treatment for Insomnia without pills

  Many people suffer from sleeping disorders like insomnia, oversleeping or nightmares while dreaming. A restless sleep makes the whole day boring and non-productive. A person suffering from these problems feels irritated throughout the day and has to depend on pills. The most unfortunate thing is that it becomes very difficult to get treatment for these problems as the doctors charge very high fees and yet can't provide any permanent solution.                 Thankfully, some ancient meditative traditions provide very simple solutions to these problems. Let the few things be very clear. There are three states of life which are known as waking life, dreaming life and deep sleep. Let us know these terms in detail : Waking Life : The state which we know as a conscious state and experience it mostly in the daytime. It contains the active part of life when we experience our body as true identity with our eyes open and sense organs working in harmony to perceive the physical wo

How to get permanent motivation in life

It has been the biggest query of the ambitious masses since time immemorial, how to get permanent motivation in life.      For most people, the main problem lies in the fact that when we read or listen to any motivational thing, the motivation remains for some time, and then slowly fades away. Without motivation, it becomes difficult for the mind to come out of the comfort zone and do the tasks required for achieving higher goals.    After going through many works of spiritual literature, I found a unified theory of being happy, peaceful, and motivated for whole life which would keep our mental energy at best to accomplish any target we have set.    Let's begin this theory with a basic understanding of our own existence. The world exists outside only because our body has consciousness. No matter whatever we achieve in this physical world, the material comforts or pleasures don't give us permanent happiness or motivation. It moves the question towards our o
