You must have seen my yesterdays post about Steve’s demise. I just want to write about him in coming days and reflect the profound impact he have on me and others. You all must know that his demise have made all record in internet history, with 1000 tweets per second and thousands of articles every single hour. I saw videos, presentation and animations coming in apart from tweets, facebook shares, and article both on main stream media and blogosphere.
In 2005, I first encountered Steve’s commencement talk. It was shared by an M.Tech student and very close friend, Gowtham Atluri, now PhD student at UMN. I loved it soo much that I searched for a text version of it took printout and clipped in front of my study table at my hostel room. Later became part of my personal website, both on free server ( IITR didn’t gave pages for students that time), and ISI Kolkata website when I joined as Assistant Professor there want to see, how was my old HOME. I kept a link there inspire & ignite. That link finally became a full blog after I joined Samsung Electronics in Korea. I will also tell about how inspire n ignite took birth and how evolved sometimes later : )
Jobs talk inspired me a lot and kept me burning to do best. What I learned from that speech was to be excellent, the best and live like a legend. Here I want to share my stand as a student when I heard Steve Jobs again and again during that time. I hope that will make understand his idea and make it work best for you.
To get the idea what I am talking here, first you need to know what Steve Jobs said so profound at Stanford University. Please follow his speech in text on old website, Steve Jobs at Stanford or just follow the below 15 minutes video.
I will explain what and how this speech matters to an average student in the below posts. I will take parts from his speech and life. I will complete a small series on him during next few days. Hope that will motivate you and me for our next decisions and target in life.
