Steve Jobs: How to live before you die | Video on TED.com

Steven Jobs was a gift to this world. It's with sadness yet greatest appreciation for his life and contribution that I want to say Good bye to one of the greatest men of our times. The video (below) with his speech to graduates gives some idea on why this man was special and made a difference in the world.
His messages are:

1) Connecting dots. It's only when looking back that we can connect the dots so take a leap of faith and follow your heart;

2) Love and loss. Keep looking, never settle. Follow your heart;

3) Death. Remembering that you're going to die gives no reason to not follow your heart. Your time is limited so don't waste it on living someone else's life. Follow your heart and intuition. They somehow know what you truly want to become.

Do you see that in all of his messages, he stresses on importance of following your heart. Be it in what you want to do, love, or anything else. I stand by it, as you already know it if you read my blog. And Steve Jobs's life couldn't be a better example on why this is the best and only way we should live our lives.

With all my love and respect to Steve Jobs, a man who followed his heart.
