Today is 1st april, the fool’s day. This reminded me one of favorite and motivational speeches of alltime. His speech ended with a very good line, “Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish”.
This is the text of the Commencement address by Steve Jobs, CEO of Apple Computer and of Pixar Animation Studios, delivered on June 12, 2005.
I am honored to be with you today at your commencement from one of the finest universities in the world. I never graduated from college. Truth be told, this is the closest I’ve ever gotten to a college graduation. Today I want to tell you three stories from my life. That’s it. No big deal. Just three stories.
The first story is about connecting the dots.
I dropped out of Reed College after the first 6 months, but then stayed around as a drop-in for another 18 months or so before I really quit. So why did I drop out?
It started before I was born. My biological mother was a young, unwed college graduate student, and she decided to put me up for adoption. She felt very strongly that I should be adopted by college graduates, so everything was all set for me to be adopted at birth by a lawyer and his wife. Except that when I popped out they decided at the last minute that they really wanted a girl. So my parents, who were on a waiting list, got a call in the middle of the night asking: “We have an unexpected baby boy; do you want him?” They said: “Of course.” My biological mother later found out that my mother had never graduated from college and that my father had never graduated from high school. She refused to sign the final adoption papers. She only relented a few months later when my parents promised that I would someday go to college.
Been a while since last post. Was working on my short movie script.
One fine day I was listening to one of my favorite trance number.
I listen to almost all kinds of music. But found very few around who appreciates or likes trance music.
So thought of doing some quick search on gOOgle.
Here is how trance is defined in Urbandictionary.com
The Best thing about trance music is “rather than listening to some random guy screaming about his life, associating with a
trance progression or hookline is much more deep, and much more personal“. It provides freedom of emotions.
The first definition :
By far the best form of music that exists.
A recent study showed that if a population is divided into musical preference,
those who claim a strong allegiance to trance have the highest average IQ.
