My Village Square

My blog is not all about Steve Jobs! For an individual whose interests span from technology development to personal development strategy, Steve will not be a passing subject. More so that he is late now, discussions and write-ups in the media are around him in recent times. Steve’s Macintosh OS stands a world apart from Gate’s Window OS; being a school drop-out who started his company from an abandoned car garage, building it to a world-class company and a highly-priced brand, is phenomenal. It amazes and challenges me every day and I look forward to achieving a feat that will positively affect generations to come. So, today I want to feature Steve’s most celebrated speech. Perhaps you will have insight into why I write about him earlier. Stay hungry, Stay foolish! Enjoy!

Lately, I began to check my archive, reviewing some of my past works: books I have read and notes taking; poems, articles and short note notes etc. I came across one that interest me more and I wish to just share with everyone. It is on the quote from Jim Rohn, an author, international motivational speaker. Check out Jim’s Biography and his works on his Website . What I wish to share are the quotes from his many books and lectures I gathered years back, up-to-date quotes will be on his website. “Learning is the beginning of wealth. Learning is the beginning of health. Learning is the beginning of spiritually. Searching and learning is where the miracle process all begins.” “Formal education will make you a living. Self-education will make you a fortune.” “We must learn to apply all that we know so that we can attract all that we want. “ “The book you don't read won't help. “ “If someone is going down the wrong road, he doesn't need motivation to speed him up. ...

Sometimes ago I wrote about Steve Jobs’ resignation as CEO of Apple. I intended to do another article on his contribution to IT development and excellent managerial skills and doggedness that turn the fortune of Apple around. Little did I know that he will pass on before I do the post. But it was obvious anyway, from his last outing for the company, that his health is failing him. Perhaps that necessitated the resignation from Apple as CEO. On October 5th, 2011, however, the world lost one of the most important figures in technology we will likely ever see, Steve Jobs. He has been fighting pancreatic cancer for the last few years and has had stints on and off from his work as CEO of Apple. He succumbs to the sickness and peacefully passed away in comfort from his family (at his home) according to press release.He was 56years. In 15 years Steve Jobs has taken the brand we take for granted today, Apple, from close bankruptcy and a struggling computer business, to the highest earn...

It was a Monday morning, typical of the earlier hour of the day, the traffic was very light. I flagged the first Okada (Commercial Motorcycle) that came along and after the bargain I hop on. Less than five minutes drive, along the State Road by the traffic control light, I noticed quite some number of Okada parked by the road side and people crowded round in a circle. By the middle of the road is a Toyota car that rapped in to a streetlight post, and few meters away from there were two Okadas flung on the middle of the road. It was obvious that the accident involve the car and the Okadas. The victims had different degree of wounds. From the brief stay to have a glimpse of the scene, it was gather that the Okadas has head-on collision, and in the effort not to run on them the car driver lost control too and collided with the streetlight. That became the subject of the fifteen minutes journey for me and the Okada man that took me to office. The young man admitted that most of the rider a...
