The Funeral I Couldnt Really Be At
I knew I couldnt be hers when I got there. I had to switch it up and become the friend she had just met through
mutual relations at college.

to time. So, here they are, 25 Steve J obs quotes:
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 think if you do something and it turns out pretty good, then you should go do something else wonderful, not
dwell on it for too long. J ust figure out whats next.
When youre a carpenter making a beautiful chest of drawers, youre not going to use a piece of plywood on the
back, even though it faces the wall and nobody will see it. Youll know its there, so youre going to use a
beautiful piece of wood on the back. For you to sleep well at night, the aesthetic, the quality, has to be carried all
the way through.
Things dont have to change the world to be important.
If you havent found it yet, keep looking. Dont settle. As with all matters of the heart, youll know when you
find it. And like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on.
You cant connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust
that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something your gut, destiny, life,
karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life.
No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven dont want to die to get there. And yet death is the
destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the
single best invention of Life. It is Lifes change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new. Right now
the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away.
Sorry to be so dramatic, but it is quite true.
Details matter, its worth waiting to get it right.
Thats been one of my mantras focus and simplicity. Simple can be harder than complex. You have to work
hard to get your thinking clean to make it simple. But its worth it in the end because once you get there, you can
move mountains.
If you dont love something, youre not going to go the extra mile, work the extra weekend, challenge the status
quo as much.
Youve baked a really lovely cake, but then youve used dog shit for frosting.
The heaviness of being successful was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner again less sure about
everything. It freed me to enter one of the most creative periods of my life.
Sometimes life is going to hit you in the head with a brick. Dont lose faith.
If you keep your eye on the profit, youre going to skimp on the product. But if you focus on making really great
products, then the profits will follow.
Your time is limited, so dont waste it living someone elses life. Dont be trapped by dogma which is living
with the results of other peoples thinking. Dont let the noise of others opinions drown out your own inner
voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know
what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.
Im convinced that about half of what separates the successful entrepreneurs from the non-successful ones is
pure perseverance.
Deciding what not to do is as important as deciding what to do.
Were here to put a dent in the universe. Otherwise why else even be here?
But innovation comes from people meeting up in the hallways or calling each other at 10:30 at night with a new
idea, or because they realized something that shoots holes in how weve been thinking about a problem.
If you really look closely, most overnight successes took a long time.
Lets go invent tomorrow instead of worrying about what happened yesterday.
Creativity is just connecting things. When you ask creative people how they did something, they feel a little
guilty because they didnt really do it, they just saw something. It seemed obvious to them after a while.
Design is not just what it looks like and feels like. Design is how it works.
Heres to the crazy ones the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes. The
ones who see things differently theyre not fond of rules. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or
vilify them, but the only thing you cant do is ignore them because they change things. They push the human
race forward, and while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius, because the ones who are crazy
enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do.
Stay hungry. Stay foolish.

These are gold! Appreciate you sharing these Chris!

These quotes are generated from his 2005 Stanford Commencement speech.... fyi.

Remember the time. Christopher Hudspeth was published on XOJ ane and literally every
comment was about how terrible he, the article, and Thought Catalog is?

WryGuyHi
I don't trust any quotes anymore which don't have a verifiable source. You only have to spend
15 minutes on Snopes to see how many quotes don't belong to whoever they are said to
belong to. This is such a lazy post. Maybe they all came from the same book? But how the
fark would I know? There's not even one line of credit. Yeah I know i could google each one
but seriously, CHRISTOPHER HUDSPETH, do you expect me to do your work for you?

HackGuy
You sire are a headless blabber-er who shits from the mouth!

WryGuyHi
I wasn't talking to you, ye olde trailer park peasant. I wasn't talking to the
author of the post because I'm actually interested in seeing a better internet
and doing better things with it in the real world. Please take your Cameron
Pierce novels and go back to your larp sandpit.

DM
I like your words.
