For all those people around us; our friends, our family, sometimes even us, who doubt themselves or doubt the future. Who are sometimes afraid, who hesitate to start or who even think that they are not creating anything or are not worth anything… It is important to remember the essence of the message delivered here by Steve Jobs.
The video was re-shared yesterday on Facebook and I wanted to share it with you.
Here is roughly my French translation:
When you grow up, you tend to be told that the world is the way it is and that your life is about living your life in this world, trying not to hit the walls too much… trying to have a nice family life, having fun, saving some money… It’s a pretty limited life
Life can be so much bigger than that!
When you discover a simple fact… and that is that everything that you see around you as the world was created by people no smarter than you! And you can change it, you can influence it, you can build your own things that others can then use.
The minute you understand that you can influence the world and that if you push it a little bit, something will come out the other side, that you can change, adapt… That’s probably the most important thing! To shatter this false notion that the world is there and you just have to live in it instead of taking it and changing it, improving it, leaving your mark on it. Once you know that, you’ll never be the same again.
