Just as I was getting hysterical about whether I made the right choice, my friend Chu referred this video. I was really touched by this speech by Steve Jobs, chief executive officer and co-founder of Apple Computer and of Pixar Animation Studios, during the 2005 Stanford graduation. My favorite parts: You can’t connect the dots […]
The Definition of “Close Friend”
I was bordering on the edge of insanity one afternoon because a certain invoice amounting to more than a million USD could not get posted due to some difference. The vendor would go bankrupt if we did not get it included in the payment run the next morning, so I sent off messages to different […]
What Stars do Best
“Your emotions give you away, Yvaine, you must learn to control them. You’ve been glowing more brightly every day and I think you know why.” One of my friends once told me that if you’ll replace the name Yvaine with mine, that line from the movie Stardust would be so appropriate.
