Great thought from someone who made a difference to his industry

While at times Apple computers were accused of poor treatment of workers in factories and feeding the consumerist boom they also took a lead in improving environmental performance and brought us tools that mean we don't need to travel to meetings, we don't need to buy CDs etc, etc.

However Steve Jobs, who died yesterday made a difference in other ways too, he encouraged people to believe they could be different as in these words from the Stanford University commencement speech

'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 others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.'

Mindfulness practice involves listening to your heart, not being scared of change because that is the natural cycle of things, nothing is permanent everything changes.
