NaBloPoMo - October

NaBloPoMo - I think that means National Blog Posting Month, which is October and which I am already 6 days behind.  I'll double-up and make up for it...maybe.  :)
But I am posting today, although I don't have as much time to write as I might like.
I heard that Steve Jobs passed away.  It seems mysterious, his step down from the company just a month or two ago, and then suddenly this announcement today.  And he was so young.  I didn't know much about him, but read an excerpt of his graduation speech at Stanford and thought it very interesting.

"No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don't want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life's change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new. Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic, but it is quite true.


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, 2005 Stanford University Commencement Speech (the whole speech is here)

I haven't read the whole speech yet, but just those 2 paragraphs above were pretty inspirational.

Other cool things to note:
Oh, wait, maybe I should pace myself and save this for tomorrow.  ;)

NaBloPoMo - if you say it fast, it sounds like a Spanish word or a football player's last name...

Have a great day.  Peace.
