Death as a lesson

Most would agree with me when I say, Steve Jobs was one of the most brilliant people, who went on to become an innovator and entrepreneur and a co-founder of Apple then worked for Pixar too.

Today, for the first time, I watched a motivating speech given by him.

What he said, and how he said is no doubt invaluable. But the points he made is what makes it so great, making it an inspiring array of words aimed for people from all walks of life.

Perhaps that is the reason, this video on YouTube had more than 1.3 crore views. And this was not even the original one, it had been edited to create a story. But the lessons he has learnt and the three stories he told made all the difference.

We all know the successful reviews of Apple company from their over priced gadgets which no doubt never fail to deliver what they promise. But the penance behind it’s creation is perhaps more interesting to know and yet many are not aware of it.

From what I understood, Jobs talked of circumstances that lead you to a place. The dots that you can connect months, years or sometimes even decades. He also talked of failure as a teacher, and the lessons it teaches.

Now all of these were a good expressions of wisdom, because most of would have heard of it or have been told about while growing up. In some cases, you must have felt them to be true as well.

But the last one, the quote that he read at the age of 17, which impacted him for the next 33 years when he gave the speech and probably till his death 5 years later.

If you live each day as if it were your last, someday you’ll most certainly be right.”

-unknown

He questioned himself every morning, if he was going to do the things he would be doing if it were his last?

And facing yourself in the mirror when you answer. Because everything we do daily has an impact for the rest of our lives.

Living our life as a boon, living each moment as if it is the last will no doubt make us more happy if not more successful. Because then you are free of all the chains that bind your potential. The fears and thoughts that hinder your growth.

You are not only less self conscious (as you have few hours left to live) but you become an outgoing individual. You grab the chances, even the unseen opportunities that come your way.

You live the day to its fullest.

Carpe Diem becomes your mantra. Keeps you going through the ups and downs.

Just look at what Jobs managed to do all by himself. There are countless other people who have managed to become great personalities despite the troubles they had to live through.

And that my friend is how you can unlock your true potential. Wishing you all the very best all of your life’s endeavours.

THE EVER-INSPIRING: ELON MUSK

Elon Reeve Musk is a tycoon, giver, and innovator. He has made or co-claims different historical organizations in different businesses. Like Tesla, a vehicle organization, Space X, an aviation organization, Pay Pal, a web-based online installments framework, and some more. It is likewise amazing to perceive how he really fabricates his organizations. He centers totally around the item plan and accepts that assuming the item is superior to anything available, individuals will get it. He spends very little on publicizing and inclines toward burning through cash on innovative work, all things considered. It is really puzzling that he is the main architect in the entirety of his organizations. The truth be told has said that practically the entirety of his time is spent on designing and plan. This is really astounding when one perceives the assortment of ventures that he has his toes dunked in and the immense measure of information needed to advance in these businesses. 

With Tesla, Elon assembled vehicles that are driven on electric energy. Maybe then the ordinary non-renewable energy sources that drive every advanced vehicle. Tesla is likewise assembling vehicles that are totally independent, i.e., self-driving, working without the contribution from drivers. This was a never-done investigation in the vehicle business. His accomplishment in doing as such has totally changed the driving experience until the end of time. Prior to him, individuals accepted that electric vehicles would never contend with fuel-based vehicles. He refuted them.  With Space X, he scrutinized the standards of rocket flight. Routinely Rockets were utilized just a single time and were annihilated during the time spent flight. Notwithstanding, with Space X, Elon constructed rockets that can be utilized on various occasions and are not obliterated during flight. He made rockets that can consequently land in the ideal area in one piece. This vigorously diminished the expenses of room trips as rockets would now be able to be reused as opposed to being utilized just a single time. 

With Paypal, he made an online cash move framework that really changed the business until the end of time. It permits individuals to send cash to anybody worldwide without paying the foul expenses needs to do as such. This permitted organizations to work globally without bringing about unnecessary taking care of expenses. It likewise permitted individuals to send cash home financially in reverse locales. Paypal was offered to eBay in October 2002 for 1.5 billion dollars.  In a meeting, Elon was inquired as to why he picked the ventures that he did. He says that his point with these organizations is to drive human progress forward. He says that when he was youthful, he concluded that there are three principle enterprises where development is required. So humanity can develop. 

He picked the space business with the goal that people can leave Earth and become an interplanetary species. He says that doing this will be the greatest advance for our species. It will verify that the endurance of humankind isn’t dependant on the endurance of Earth.  He accepts that there is a prerequisite to fabricate Artificial Intelligence. That isn’t a chance with people, however viable with it. He made Open AI and Nueralink have the option to do as such. Open AI is a non-benefit AI research organization that plans to construct AI that is protected and will profit human civilization. Nueralink is an organization with which Elon desires to incorporate AI and human insight. That is to consolidate the two so people can keep up and straightforwardly use the progressions in AI programming. 

Presently it’s hard not to regard somebody like that, who has accomplished the victories that he has as well as acquired it. At the point when you take a gander at Elon, you don’t see an ideal man. He has his shortcomings and issues like we all. He has an extreme day-to-day existence with in excess of 5 youngsters and is a single parent, with nobody needing to wed him due to the weight of dealing with the kids alone with Elon working each day. The way that he is relatable in that sense is the thing that makes him extraordinary. 

TOWARDS THE END 

I think the primary exercise that I removed actually from Elon is that customary individuals can do the unthinkable, and I say common since that is by and large what he is. A common man who became showbiz royalty by thinking ambitiously and working more earnestly than his opposition to accomplish it. Something else that I gain from him is to not be reluctant to prepare to stun the world and to not leave dread alone the explanation you don’t take a stab at something extreme.  One thing that Elon said in a meeting with an hour that I find totally striking was the point at which he was inquired as to why he took such enormous activities like Tesla and Space X and on the off chance that he truly imagined that he would succeed. He said that he realized he would most presumably fizzle. The meeting normally asked him, Then for what reason would he put his fortune at risk to do it. He said in light of the fact that everything will work out, everything will work out to endeavor to make new innovation, to endeavor to change what exists, and to move the future, the up and coming age of development.  He knew the odds of achievement were thin, yet he did it in any case on the grounds that even in the direst outcome imaginable, individuals can gain from his errors. Which would ultimately assist with peopling construct better innovation to push mankind forward. His drive came from the way that he was dealing with a venture which won’t just profit him and his organization however everybody for the remainder of the time.
