Connecting the Dots

Just read Steve Jobs' commencement speech called 'Connecting the Dots'. Just read it and am feeling a little speechless, dreamier than usual, and ready to take on the world. He talks about how every little thing you do in life, every little step you take, takes you that much closer to finding your ultimate destiny.

It is like those connect-the-dots books we had as kids. At first it was all just a jumble of numbers. But as we connected the first dot to the second, the second to the third... the thirty-seventh to the thirty-eighth, and the thirty-eighth to the thirty-ninth, a picture emerged. It could be anything -- a zebra on a hippo's back, a boy eating an iced candy, a "Keep Off the Grass" sign. But there was always a sense of achievement, once you found the ultimate picture.

Nothing is ever disconnected is it? Some invisible thread from somewhere links us all together. It's a small world, and maybe if we try hard enough, we can have affected everyone living in the world. Wouldn't that be wonderful?

"If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you'll most certainly be right." How would you live your very last day on earth? Would you still do what you are doing now?

Would I?
