What do you do in times of trouble?
I look for words of wisdom.

Who from?
I’m thinking of two people who died in 2011 and left some wise words for us; Wilson Greatbatch and Steve Jobs.

Who was Wilson Greatbatch?
The inventor of the implantable heart pacemaker. He said:
“Do not fear failure or crave success. Your work must be an act of love.”

And Steve Jobs?
Founder of Apple Computers. Sacked by the CEO he recruited, then brought back when Apple was going down the tubes. The rest is iMac, iPod and iPhone history.

What did he say?
“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 other's opinions drown out your own inner voice.”

“And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary. Stay hungry. Stay foolish.”

Wishing you courage, hope and happiness in 2012,
