I was lucky!
I found what to do early in life.
Woz and I started APPLE in my parents garage
when I was 20.
We worked hard!
And in 10 years APPLE had grown from just
the 2 of us in a garage into $2 Billion company
with over 4000 Employees.
We just released our finest creation The Macintosh,
a year earlier!
And I just turned 30!
Then I got FIRED.
How can you get fired from a company you started?
Well, apple grew we hired someone.
Who I thought very talented to run the company.
For the first year and so things went well,
And then our vision to the future diverge
and and eventually we had a falling out.
And when we did our board of directors sided
with him.
So at 30 I was out and very publicly out.
And my focus of my entire adult life was gone.
And it was devastating.
I really didn't knew what to do for a few
months.
I felt that I left the previous generation
of ENTREPRENEURS down.
That I dropped the baton that was passed to
me.
I met with David Packard, Bob Noyce, and tried
to apologize for screwing up somebody.
I was very public failure and even thought
of running away from the valley.
But something slowly began to dawn on me.
I still loved what I did.
The turn of events at apple had not changed
that one bit.
I had been rejected but I was still in love.
So I started to start over.
I didn't see at then getting fired from apple,
was the best thing that could ever happened
to me.
The heaviness of being successful was replaced
by the lightness of being a beginner again.
Less sure about everything.
It freed me to enter one of the most creative
periods of my life.
During the next 5 years I started a company
name next and a company name pixar and fell
in love with an amazing moment in life.
Pixar went on to create the world's first
computer animated feature film.
"Toy Story" and now is the successful animation
company in the world.
In a remarkable turn of events, APPLE bought
NEXT and I returned to APPLE and the technology
we developed at NEXT is the at heart of APPLE's
current renaissance.
And Laurene and I have a wonderful family
together.
I am pretty sure non of this could had happen
if I wasn't fired from APPLE.
It was awful tasting the medicine.
But I guess the patient needed it.
Sometimes Life can hit you in the head with
a BRICK.
Don't lose faith!
I convinced the only thing that kept me going
was that I loved what I did.
You got to find what you love, and that is
true at work and as for lovers.
Your work is going to fell large part of your
life, and the only way to be truly satisfied
is to do what you believe is great work.
And the only way to do great work is to love
what you do.
If you haven't found it get, keep looking
and don't settle.
As it all matters of the heart, you'll know
when you find it.
And as like any great relationship it gets
better and better, as long as your in luck.
So keep looking don't settle.
