Stanford Report, June 14, 2005
'You've got to find what you love,' Jobs says Printable Version This is the text of the Commencement address by Steve Jobs, CEO of Apple Computer and of Pixar Animation Studios, delivered on June 12, 2005. I am honored to be with you today at your commencement from one of the finest universities in the world. I never gradu Stanford Report, June 14, 2005 'You've got to find what you love,' Jobs says Printable Version This is the text of the Commencement address by Steve Jobs, CEO of Apple Computer and of Pixar Animation Studios, delivered on June 12, 2005. I am honored to be with you today at your commencement from one of the finest universities in the world. I never graduated from college. Truth be told, this is the closest I've ever gotten to a college graduation. Today I want to tell you three stories from my life. That's it. No big deal. Just three stories. The first story is about connecting the dots. I dropped out of Reed College after the first 6 months, but then stayed around as a drop-in for another 18 months or so before I really quit. So why did I drop out? It started before I was born. My biological mother was a young, unwed college graduate student, and she decided to put me up for adoption. She felt very strongly that I should be adopted by college graduates, so everything was all set for me to be adopted at birth by a lawyer and his wife. Except that when I popped out they decided at the last minute that they really wanted a girl. So my parents, who were on a waiting list, got a call in the middle of the night asking: "We have an unexpected baby boy; do you want him?" They said: "Of course." My biological mother later found out that my mother had never graduated from college and that my father had never graduated from high school. She refused to sign the final adoption papers. She only relented a few months later when my parents promised that I would someday go to college. And 17 years later I did go to college. But I naively chose a college that was almost as expensive as Stanford, and all of my working-class parents' savings were being spent on my college tuition. After six months, I couldn't see the value in it. I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life and no idea how college was going to help me figure it out. And here I was spending all of the money my parents had saved their entire life. So I decided to drop out and trust that it would all work out OK. It was pretty scary at the time, but looking back it was one of the best decisions I ever made. The minute I dropped out I could stop taking the required classes that didn't interest me, and begin dropping in on the ones that looked interesting. It wasn't all romantic. I didn't have a dorm room, so I slept on the floor in friends' rooms, I returned coke bottles for the 5¢ deposits to buy food with, and I would walk the 7 miles across town every Sunday night to get one good meal a week at the Hare Krishna temple. I loved it. And much of what I stumbled into by following my curiosity and intuition turned out to be priceless later on. Let me give you one example: Reed College at that time offered perhaps the best calligraphy instruction in the country. Throughout the campus every poster, every label on every drawer, was beautifully hand calligraphed. Because I had dropped out and didn't have to take the normal classes, I decided to take a calligraphy class to learn how to do this. I learned about serif and san serif typefaces, about varying the amount of space between different letter combinations, about what makes great typography great. It was beautiful, historical, artistically subtle in a way that science can't capture, and I found it fascinating. None of this had even a hope of any practical application in my life. But ten years later, when we were designing the first Macintosh computer, it all came back to me. And we designed it all into the Mac. It was the first computer with beautiful typography. If I had never dropped in on that single course in college, the Mac would have never had multiple typefaces or proportionally spaced fonts. And since Windows just copied the Mac, its likely that no personal computer would have them. If I had never dropped out, I would have never dropped in on this calligraphy class, and personal computers might not have the wonderful typography that they do. Of course it was impossible to connect the dots looking forward when I was in college. But it was very, very clear looking backwards ten years later. Again, you can't 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. My second story is about love and loss. I was lucky — I found what I loved to do early in life. Woz and I started Apple in my parents garage when I was 20. We worked hard, and in 10 years Apple had grown from just the two of us in a garage into a $2 billion company with over 4000 employees. We had just released our finest creation — the Macintosh — a year earlier, and I had just turned 30. And then I got fired. How can you get fired from a company you started? Well, as Apple grew we hired someone who I thought was very talented to run the company with me, and for the first year or so things went well. But then our visions of the future began to diverge and eventually we had a falling out. When we did, our Board of Directors sided with him. So at 30 I was out. And very publicly out. What had been the focus of my entire adult life was gone, and it was devastating. I really didn't know what to do for a few months. I felt that I had let the previous generation of entrepreneurs down - that I had dropped the baton as it was being passed to me. I met with David Packard and Bob Noyce and tried to apologize for screwing up so badly. I was a very public failure, and I even thought about running away from the valley. But something slowly began to dawn on me — I still loved what I did. The turn of events at Apple had not changed that one bit. I had been rejected, but I was still in love. And so I decided to start over. I didn't see it then, but it turned out that getting fired from Apple was the best thing that could have ever happened to me. 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. During the next five years, I started a company named NeXT, another company named Pixar, and fell in love with an amazing woman who would become my wife. Pixar went on to create the worlds first computer animated feature film, Toy Story, and is now the most successful animation studio in the world. In a remarkable turn of events, Apple bought NeXT, I returned to Apple, and the technology we developed at NeXT is at the heart of Apple's current renaissance. And Laurene and I have a wonderful family together. I'm pretty sure none of this would have happened if I hadn't been fired from Apple. It was awful tasting medicine, but I guess the patient needed it. Sometimes life hits you in the head with a brick. Don't lose faith. I'm convinced that the only thing that kept me going was that I loved what I did. You've got to find what you love. And that is as true for your work as it is for your lovers. Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it. And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking until you find it. Don't settle. My third story is about death. When I was 17, I read a quote that went something like: "If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you'll most certainly be right." It made an impression on me, and since then, for the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: "If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?" And whenever the answer has been "No" for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something. Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything — all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure - these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. 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. About a year ago I was diagnosed with cancer. I had a scan at 7:30 in the morning, and it clearly showed a tumor on my pancreas. I didn't even know what a pancreas was. The doctors told me this was almost certainly a type of cancer that is incurable, and that I should expect to live no longer than three to six months. My doctor advised me to go home and get my affairs in order, which is doctor's code for prepare to die. It means to try to tell your kids everything you thought you'd have the next 10 years to tell them in just a few months. It means to make sure everything is buttoned up so that it will be as easy as possible for your family. It means to say your goodbyes. I lived with that diagnosis all day. Later that evening I had a biopsy, where they stuck an endoscope down my throat, through my stomach and into my intestines, put a needle into my pancreas and got a few cells from the tumor. I was sedated, but my wife, who was there, told me that when they viewed the cells under a microscope the doctors started crying because it turned out to be a very rare form of pancreatic cancer that is curable with surgery. I had the surgery and I'm fine now. This was the closest I've been to facing death, and I hope its the closest I get for a few more decades. Having lived through it, I can now say this to you with a bit more certainty than when death was a useful but purely intellectual concept: No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don't 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 Life's 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. Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't 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. When I was young, there was an amazing publication called The Whole Earth Catalog, which was one of the bibles of my generation. It was created by a fellow named Stewart Brand not far from here in Menlo Park, and he brought it to life with his poetic touch. This was in the late 1960's, before personal computers and desktop publishing, so it was all made with typewriters, scissors, and polaroid cameras. It was sort of like Google in paperback form, 35 years before Google came along: it was idealistic, and overflowing with neat tools and great notions. Stewart and his team put out several issues of The Whole Earth Catalog, and then when it had run its course, they put out a final issue. It was the mid-1970s, and I was your age. On the back cover of their final issue was a photograph of an early morning country road, the kind you might find yourself hitchhiking on if you were so adventurous. Beneath it were the words: "Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish." It was their farewell message as they signed off. Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish. And I have always wished that for myself. And now, as you graduate to begin anew, I wish that for you. Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish. Thank you all very much. 5180 5181 5182(more) (less) |

By changing your posture you can look, move, and even breathe better, according to proponents of this century-old technique popular with entertainers.

By changing your posture you can look, move, and even breathe better, according to proponents of this century-old technique popular with entertainers. Developed by an actor who lost his voice due to improper posture, the Alexander Technique involves a series of subtle changes in stance and movement that, once learned, are to be incorporated into everyday life. Actor William Hurt introduces viewers to the video and demonstrates the positions and movements. Hurt must truly believe in this method because not only does he allow himself to be an on-screen guinea pig for 74 minutes, but the reclusive actor has also made rare television appearances promoting the video. However much he appears to believe in the technique, though, the Oscar winner displays uncharacteristic awkwardness in introducing and quizzing his teacher, Jane Kosminsky. A former dancer, Kosminsky is well versed in the history and method of the technique as she moves Hurt through head placement, chair work, "the Monkey" (a lifting position), walking, and finally a 22-minute self lesson. At the tape's end Kosminsky warns that a personal teacher may be needed to truly learn the technique, and offers a contact number and Web site information.
5125 The Alexander Technique Lie-Down How to bring constructive rest into your life. WHY? If you could learn and utilize a daily, 20-minute activity that would gain you renewed energy, easier balance, increased efficiency in mental and physical activities, and lessened pain and stress ... would you be interested? In an average day of 12 to 16 hours of uprightness, you will ask your body to expend a great deal of energy. Your muscles, tendons, and ligaments not only use energy to provide the force to move you through space, they are also in constant demand to stabilize and maintain your vertical (upright) posture. A brief, 20-minute period of horizontal rest allows overused, fatigued, and painful muscles to release, the natural curves in your spine to balance their forces, and a respite from any stresses in your day. The Alexander Technique "lie-down" is a powerful tool of self-care that, when included in your health and well-being regimen, can bring profound improvements in your daily functioning. WHEN? The Alexander Technique lie-down is intended as a tool of prevention. Used consistently, it can deter future misuses of your structure that lead to painful imbalances. Although back pain can often be alleviated during a lie-down, your 20-minute time will yield a longer term health investment if you use it regularly, rather than choosing to lie down only _after_ your pain has made you aware of yourself. It's recommended that you lie down in the "position of mechanical advantage" at least once a day for 20 minutes; preferably in the middle of the day. All of us have had to search for extra time in the day to use for ourselves and often have difficulty finding it! Try remembering your true motivation: "when practicing my ability to stop and be present to myself, I can be truly present to others and to my environment." Include the lie-down time as part of your daily routine -- if you don't have 20 minutes, but you do have 10, then lie down for 10 minutes. If you can fit in more than one 20-minute lie-down, by all means, lie down more than once in the course of your day. However, do not lie down for longer than 20 minutes at a time. After 20 minutes, your body/mind will begin to recognize the additional minutes as a cue that this is sleeptime, rather than a short rest period. If you are a musician, you will get more value out of practice time if you lie down five minutes out of every half-hour of playing time. If you do physical fitness training, lie down before you work out to help prevent injury to over-fatigued muscles. Or lie down after working out in order to rest and re-balance before dashing back to work. If you do a lot of desk/computer work, set your timer for a five minute lie-down every 1-1/2 to 2 hours. You'll probably find your aching shoulders and neck releasing, as well as a refreshed outlook on your work tasks. Having some trouble sleeping at night? You may want to lie down just before getting into bed, although this should be in addition to another lie-down time during the day. HOW? 1. Find a quiet, draft-free place on the floor or a large flat table (conference tables work well!). Lie on a carpet, a blanket, or an exercise mat--do not use a bed. (It is the even and firm stimulus of the floor that will help your back rebalance; beds will compress at the heavier parts of your torso, such as your shoulders and hips.) You will also need a small pile of paperback books to rest your head on. Start by sitting on your sit bones with your legs extended in front of you. They can be bent, but do not cross them. You arms are in your lap or released with your hands by your sides. 2. Lean forward easily over your legs by moving from your hip joints. Think of the crown of your head extending out over your feet. Your arms should be relaxed at your sides. Your spine will be lengthening. (Check to make sure you are not aiming your nose for your knees; you will probably feel this as a crunching of your spine.) When you feel that your lower back has lengthened slightly, let your head drop forward from the top of your neck and begin to roll back to lie down. Your hips will go down first, then your back, then your shoulders and head. This movement is done smoothly and easily. It is not a test of the strength of your abdominal muscles; just let your stomach muscles release as you roll back. Reach back and move the pile of books so that the base of your skull rests on them. The books should not touch your neck; rather your neck hangs freely. You may want to use a folded washcloth as a pad if you have a bumpy ridge at the base of your skull. 3. The pile of books under your head should be high enough to fill the space made by the natural curve in your neck. There is a slight forward rotation of your head in relation to your neck. If you feel your jaw is pressing on your throat, you have too many books under your head. If your eyes seem to be looking behind you or your head is rotating backward on your neck, you have too few books under your head. Experiment with the height of the book pile; it will change over time and may even change within the 20 minutes you are lying there. Using a number of thinner books allows you to easily change the height of the pile. 4. After a few seconds of letting your entire body weight settle into the floor, bring your forearms up so that your elbows are directed away from your sides and your hands are resting on your lower ribs. Let your hands lay rested on your torso with fingers extended. Think about letting the full weight of your arms rest on the floor. 5. Bring your legs up one at a time so that your knee is pointing up to the ceiling and your foot is flat on the floor. Your legs should be about shoulder-width apart and your feet are as close to your rear as is comfortable. Rather than "holding" the legs up by squeezing in the groin and pulling the knees together, let them point up to the ceiling the same distance apart as your feet. If you like, you can turn your feet out slightly. 6. After you bring your legs up, your spine will lengthen slightly. You may wish to push the pile of books back a bit. They should be under your head and not touching your neck, which hangs free. 7. Bring your mind to allowing your body weight to settle into the floor. Let the full weight of your head rest on the pile of books. Notice where you are holding onto the muscles of your body and think about letting them release their unnecessary work. Let your breathing be easy and regular. During the 20 minutes, let your mind regularly return to these observations; when you notice yourself "holding on," think about letting your head's weight rest completely on the pile of books once again and release yoru full body weight onto the floor. 8. After 20 minutes, get up by rolling your head to the side, followed by your arms and shoulders, then hips and legs. Bring yourself onto hands and knees and slowly bring yourself to standing. Remember to breathe easily during this sequence, holding your breath will lock up your newly released and balanced torso and will make movement more difficult.(more) (less) |

Typically the animated backgrounds you'll find in the Toolkits are either "regular" or "template style". These "template style" backgrounds are designed to be more text friendly than the regular backgrounds. They also tend to be more subdued in order to complement, and not distract from, the text, video or images you overlay on them.
