Steve Jobs - A Modern Day Eddison!

Steve Jobs leaves this world a better place not only because of his phenomenal contributions to technology, changing the way we live, work and play but also through his great advice to inspire us to be the best we can be. We all experience the critical "noise of others" during our life...it is our responsibility to ourselves not to listen to negative assumptions that stump the growth of creativity and most of all the positive energy we have the opportunity to pay forward each day...

“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.” Steve Jobs

"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." Steve Jobs

Now a couple of my own thoughts while living in the real world among all the "noise"!! 

"Never listen to anyone sacrificing someone else for their own personal gain"  Jen Jen

"Life is hard but it does not discriminate, it happens to everyone, everyday" Jen Jen

"Repeating an assumption does not make it true" Jen Jen

"Cancer is not just of the body...there are many cancers in life which can leave a negative impact but ONLY if you let them" Jen Jen

Now go!!!!!
 Enjoy your Day, Carolina Style!
