3 Stories: Steve Jobs' best speech

Brilliant Speech by Steve Jobs at Stanford Graduating Ceremony.



For those who have NOT seen this, on 3 stories he needs to tell in life and his learnings:


1. Connecting the Dots: Of how he dropped out of college, did what he wanted to do, and then it helped him later in life. Its true when he says, " you can only connect the dots backwards". A lot of us ask questions like - "how would this help me in my career / life later?" well, most of us just guess the answer but can only realise later on in life, that a lot of things that happened are not planned, it just happens as a result of things you did before, but never anticipated it to happen!

2. Love and Loss: Of how he was FIRED out of Apple!. The company he started! and how he regenerated. Of how one needs to be positive of things that happened and for what will happened. "Never Settle!"

3. Death: Live each day, as it was your last! Do what you would do if it was your LAST day in life.

Hope you enjoy it!

Cheers

Hey Guys

After Sudipto and Swati has got their respective macbooks, i cant even think of buying any other machine, its so nice, and all that hoopla about it not workin with softwares and it not being user friendly is all crap, its a damn sophisticated and nice machine.

Anyways, check out these ads man... i mean this is 7.5 minutes of creativity, and aggression, whatever ppl feel, Apple have the guts to give say it on the face of Mircosoft that they are better than microsoft.

Anyways, enjoy the video...

Goin MAD on MAC

I think it comes naturally for "brand youth" of today to go bananas on computers and laptops and for that matter any techie stuff... the world is becoming so Tech Dependent Day by Day, that previously people used to go mad and beserk buying or even thinking to buy a nice TV, Shirt, Holiday ticket etc, but nowadays, it IPOD, Laptops, Software etc etc

Well, me, sudipto, siddharth and Swati just went to check out the new Apple Imagine store in SaltLake, as i had to check the MAC, as my dads fren is coming from the US in June and i plan to buy one as its damn cheap out there.. compared to India, and a MAC is a MAC... no comparison to it,, the looks, the OS, the performance, and the BRAND attraction is tremendous !!... We checked the Apple site Today and they came out with a higher version of MAC with 2.16 Ghz, 160 GB HD, 1 GB Ram... at 63000 Rs !!... awesome price but in US

Now.. we step into this Apple Imagine Store in City Center.. and was jus checkin out some laptops.. and wohhhhhhhaaaaaaaa.. we see the 'inaugral offer' prices for the macbook and we all get SHOCKED !!...

The 1.83 ghz,512mb ram, 60gb hd Macbook(white) whose Indian MRP is 67000, we get for 53400 Only !!...

The 2.0 ghz , 1 gb ram, 80 gb hdd (white macbook), mrp at 77800 we get for 61800 only !!

the 2.0 ghz , 1 gb ram, 120 gb hdd (BLACK) mrp at 87600 at 63900 only !!

Believe it or not.. its an awesome price... these are at par with US prices(almost !!) and sudipto and swati are buying them instantly!!

I mean this is the real power of BRANDS and Marketing, there was no advert for this, and by just looking at the offer two people who were almost buying HP and Vaio switched to MAC, just because of price and the superiority of the machine !!

For me.. its still a long wait. !!.. i still would buy from US, as i get a more better machine at a better rate!!

Go APPLE.. its just not getting out of our heads yet !!
