    This is one of the best speeches I have heard with such great conviction and confidence right up there with the last lecture…nothing but the truth in there. This goes beyond Apple, NeXT, Pixar and Steve Job’s other ventures…this should be the introduction of Mr Steve Jobs anytime/anyplace. A lesson of how love can move mountains….believe not to settle till your dreams come true, love or at least be passionate abt what you do and …stay hungry, stay foolish!

    @songoku82 thank you for putting some dose of realism here.
    it’s true of what you said, as I am also from a developing country..
    but nevertheless, my motto now has changed from “going FREE” into a “CREATE things”. if you notice, it IS essentially the same thing, but the latter is actually suited so well for us people in 3rd world developing country,..because it basically means instead of whining & complaining, then go BE & CREATE the Change we’ve always been wanting. it’s not impossible!

    @songoku82 if I may ask, so what’s your friends doing now?
    are they now *forced* to work in a job they hate?
    or, they still won’t ever give up?
    the good thing is the Internet.
    there are just soo many new opportunities we can go CREATE with such ‘global-presence’ technology, that in a way it would create NEW ways/opportunities, instead of “waiting” for ‘em to come to us!
    hence, my motto again: just try BE and CREATE the Change we want to see, do Good, as BEST as we can while still breathing!
