As students across the nation begin graduation season and get ready to conquer the world, a great question to ask your grad it this: “Are you passionate about your life?” Steve Jobs said, “Passion is everything”. He followed his heart his entire life and that, he said, made all the difference. In college, he audited classes he was most interested in, such as calligraphy, which is why Macintosh has beautiful font and typography. His passion for music led to the creation of an MP3 player that fit in our pockets. His passion for animation, allowed millions to experience the joy of watching Toy Story, Finding Nemo, and other movies. His legacy is extensive – the iPhone, the iPad, were all the results of one man who followed his heart and his passion.

Words of Wisdom
Do or do not; there is no try. – Yoda
Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma – which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of other’s opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most importantly, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary. –Steve Jobs
