What is True Success? [TED Talks: John Wooden]
Going over various questions with a friend of mine as he prepares for the onslaught of residency program interviews, he directed me to this TED Talk by John Wooden, also affectionally known by as "Coach", on true success filmed back in February 2001. Check it out below!
With profound simplicity, Coach John Wooden redefines success and urges us all to pursue the best in ourselves. In this inspiring talk he shares the advice he gave his players at UCLA, quotes poetry and remembers his father's wisdom.
The Best Way to Remember Steve Jobs...
In memory of Steve Jobs. Not too many public figures in this century have changed the ways that we do everyday tasks like Steve Jobs has. That is probably why when I received the push notification on my Apple iPhone 4 from AP News that my chest felt heavy and eyes felt watery. When my wife called to verify his passing, my voice spoke with a crack. Weird, I know because I didn't know the guy, but it's just one of this things. He will be forever missed as he was truly one of Earth's leading visionaries. I will miss his talks, his candor and confidence. Now go revolutionize the other side for us.
Back in February, I posted Steve Jobs' 2005 Stanford Commencement Address also know as the "Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish. Speech" Once again, I'd like to share with you my favorite quotes.
"Again, you can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards." "Sometimes life hits you in the head with a brick. Don't lose faith." "Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish."
There's also this which I take to heart:
"Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle."
Watch and be truly inspired! Do something that you believe in to be truly amazing today.
Of course, another favorite is when he (and Apple) introduced to us the iPhone. The crowd goes wild!!! Fast forward to 2:30 for the excitement!!!

Made public a little while back, I thought that I should share it with you all here on this blog, adellelijah. I have to admit that it is very inspiring and let's face it, I'm a big fan. Steve Jobs speaks really well, holds my attention and is just a force that we should all listen to. Here are a few of my favorite quotes from various parts of the speech I that I want to share:
"Again, you can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards." "Sometimes life hits you in the head with a brick. Don't lose faith." "Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish."
There's also this which I take to heart:
"Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle."
