Steve Job's Advice

(Me, Linda, have collected what I think is the essence from Jobs famously Stanford speech 2005)

Connect the dots (på svenska se sammanhang)
You can only connect the dots
                  looking backwards
Start over Love what you do
the only way to do great work is
love what you do
So keep looking - Don´t settle
Tell yourself is this what I would like to do
for the rest of my days?
Am I happy with now?
Can I change it?
What is better than this?
If this is it. This is the last day.
Stay hungry
     Stay focused
Would you like to do what you do today?
Do what you love to do
Don't compromise.
Do what you love to do.
Follow your heart and intuition,
they somehow know what you want to do.
 -Get over it and start all over again.
A fresh start.

The thing with languages is that they are all from different beginnings, but at the ultimate beginning maybe there was only one language?
Since Babels tower according to the Bible we have different languages but somehow they work together/ make sense/ have some similarities and through the years, centuries, millennias the languages has merged into eachother, the travellers have brought words and with new discoveries new words are made up. Today with the interweb internet thing language seem to get globally connected in a very fast pace compared to the old days, like only 30 years/50 years ago before the personal computer was invented, before the internet was made public, before the computer age.
I don't think the youth today know how to appreciate this marvellous world that we are living in. I am so lucky to have grown up before the computer age. I was outdoors playing with my best friends and I think back at those days as the happy time in my life. You are young only one time. If I get kids someday I will love them unconditionally and let them be kids for as long as possible. I will not give them technology before they are old enough. I will let them live in the real world where the grass is green in the spring, snow is white in wintertime, trees all colours in the autumn and in the summer the children may swim in the blue ocean.
   And that's all I got for you now. I have to get my essae written today. And hold the line open for phonecalls about work.
