The 11 Best Steve Jobs Quotes: Remembering The Apple CEO

The 11 Best Steve Jobs Quotes: Remembering The Apple CEO: ""We've never worried about numbers. In the market place, Apple is trying to focus the spotlight on products, because products really make a difference. [...] Ad campaigns are necessary for competition; IBM's ads are everywhere.

Steve Jobs: Famous quotes - DNA

Steve Jobs: Famous quotes - DNA: ""Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything -- all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure -- these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart."

"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." "

The Essence of Gita

Whatever happened, it happened for good

Whatever is happening, it is happening for good

Whatever that will happen, it will be for good

What have you lost for which you cry?

What did you bring with, which you have lost?

What did you produce, which has been destroyed?

You did not bring anything, when you were born

Whatever you have, you received as a gift from Him.

Whatever you give, you will give to Him.

You came empty handed and you will go the same way.

Whatever is yours today was somebody else’s yesterday

And will be somebody else’s tomorrow

the core is positive & negativity is peripheral - Negativity is not skin deep

Lord Krishna talks about all the good qualities & adds that they are already in you. Negative qualities have come because of company etc. You don't need to get positive qualities. Just like in an atom, the core is positive & negativity is peripheral. Modern psychology says that sorrow is deep inside you. It’s wrong. They know nothing about consciousness. Negativity is not skin deep. Know that it’s not in the core.- Sri Sri Ravi Shankar

A fool will be unhappy all the time and the intelligent one will be happy in spite of changing moods.- Sri Sri Ravi Shankar

karma manages to exist

anna hazare

U sowed a tree 2 years ago, it has grown today. Same way, until the impression of ur previous karma is there on ur mind that karma manages to exist.
