Great advice from a young Steve Jobs

Even months after his death, Apple co-founder Steve Jobs is still inspiring people. These words spoken in the video below can be applies to just about anyone and in 46 seconds have the ability to change lives. That’s not a “fanboy” overstatement. Jobs is revered by some and disliked by others, and after his death there has been much published that points to certain character flaws, but it doesn’t take away from this clip:

“When you grow up you tend to get told the world is the way it is and you’re life is just to live your life inside the world. Try not to bash into the walls too much. Try to have a nice family, have fun, save a little money.

“That’s a very limited life. Life can be much broader once you discover one simple fact: Everything around you that you call life was made up by people that were no smarter than you and you can change it, you can influence it, you can build your own things that other people can use.

“Once you learn that, you’ll never be the same again.”
