Processing Creativity: Inspirational quotes by Steve Jobs

One or two years back when I used to blog regularly, I remember that I used to put a lots of blog posts about quotes from great people. I also remember using the quotes meticulously in my works to put forward a point or take the conversation forward. I haven't been using quotes that frequently these days but thanks to Kiran, who writes the Shankhnaad blog, I have got the marvelous opportunity to share some great quotes with you.

Steve Jobs has been the most inspirational person in my life. During my engineering degree, I used to listen to his videos everyday. There was a group in my college who called themselves official fans of Steve jobs, I was a proud member of that group. We used to quote him, always tried emulating him and tried to think like him.

I was always a good orator and loved being on stage, I gave many workshops when I was working with few companies while I was studying. I always tried to do a "Steve Jobs" like presentation. The going slow at the start and then "bang". There was magic in his presentations and way he used to mesmerize the crowds were just extraordinary. If you haven't seen any of his product launch videos then you are missing out on something amazing.

I feel we should put forward the quotes which actually has a power to impact the other person. Thoughts which would change the perspective of a thinking mind is the thought worth sharing. The quotes which I am going to share has become an integral part of my life from the time I have read them. I have written some of the inspirational quotes by Steve jobs below.

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.

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.

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.
