I just ran across this really amazing and very personal, moving video of Steve Jobs at Standford University: "...drawing from some of the most pivotal points in his life, Steve Jobs, chief executive officer and co-founder of Apple Computer and of Pixar Animation Studios, urged graduates to pursue their dreams and see the opportunities in life's setbacks -- including death itself -- at the university's 114th Commencement on June 12, 2005..."

Steve has some very important messages for us (summarized below); I think they offer some perfect reflection points as we move into 2010 (even though his talk is actually 5 years old!):

• The only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking!
• You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.
• Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma.
• Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish

A transcript is here, btw.   Let's make this our motto for this new decade: Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish!
