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 Control Your Mind

Before starting this topic, let us first understand some basic concepts about the mind. What is the mind? The mind is a bundle or collection of thoughts. So whatever thoughts in the form of memories of the past events, persons or places,  and all kinds of information and desires are collectively called mind. We actually do any work, be it small or great,  with the help of mind only. Now the important thing is that the thoughts of pleasure or pain are just the thoughts as other thoughts are. So if we control or change the thought process of mind then even seemingly bad situations won't have any negative effect on our life. In other words, we can choose our own way of responding to any situation and live a more peaceful life.
