Indeed you have always been thoughtful for me,”

A Thoughtful Tenacious Man
Thoughtful is not just how you treat others, but it is how you treat yourself, too. It is how you embrace life.
Steve Jobs is a man who faced many challenges in his life – experienced enormous success – and endured failures that would have devastated a more thoughtful, tenacious man.
A while after he knew his life span was limited, he gave an address to a group of college graduates. It is labeled as “One of the Greatest Speeches Ever.” It will give you pause to be thoughtful … and to experience the rest of your life much more thoughtfully. Do take time to hear it (even if you have done so already).
Ten thoughtful take-aways from Steve’s message:
- Your beginnings in life do not have to define your life’s endings
- Being a drop-out does not have to make you a loser. Trust that it will work out OK.
- Tenaciously stumble into opportunities as you discover them. Grab them!
- Dropping out may give you a chance to drop in to something better.
- Find what you love and thoughtfully pursue it.
- Don’t be afraid to start over; enjoy the lightness of being a beginner again.
- Don’t lose faith.
- The only way to do great work is to love what you do.
- Live each day as if it is your last.
- Death clears out the old to make room for the new… your life is limited. Make the most of it.
Embrace Thoughtfulness.
Live thoughtfully!
