1. Pursue your passion by following your heart. Don't settle.
2. Maintain intellectual curiosity and keep on learning.
3. Learning is multi-dimensional and represents a synthesis of
knowledge - we often rely on our cumulative experiences when solving
problems. For e.g., Steve Jobs relied on his understanding of
aesthetics in the design of the first GUI and typeface for Mac. Other
e.gs. Graphs, flash videos, brainstorming
maps, etc,.
4. Learning isn't limited to formal education. Learning can occur
anywhere, anytime and with/from anyone. In other words, life in
itself
can constitute learning.
5. Adopt a reflective state of mind and be true to yourself by
asking:
"Who am I?", "Where am I going?" and "Am I on the right path?". Don't
stray from your passion.
6. Maintain a sense of urgency in life by staying true to your
passion
and not to waste a minute of it doing things that you don't truly
believe in.
7. Rejections, challenges or failures in life are to expected. For
e.g. Steve Jobs dropped out of college, got ousted from Apple
sometime
in his career, contracted a rare form of curable pancreatic cancer
etc. without ever succumbing to these challenges. In other words, we
should adopt a more optimistic outlook in life and use time wisely to
better ourselves rather than wallow in self-pity in the face of
difficulties.
