Making your mark on the world is always a tough act. I guess we all can't be a Steve Jobs, founder of Apple, who died yesterday, but maybe we can dream. Some seek the limelight; others find it falling inadvertently on them. Me? I relish my role as a bit player, who might strut across the stage of life and steal a scene or two. For me, that's what it's really all about."You can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something--your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life."

ReplyDeleteI think I might find fame a heavy burden to carry.
ReplyDeletea footprint in the sand would have been as appropriate today, yes?
ReplyDeleteWhat a tremendous impact Mr. Jobs has left on our society. A great quote by him and he has quite a few others that are worthy of reading. Nice post.
ReplyDeleteNice words today. I will settle with being in the limelight of my own world. Being the center of attention of those I love is enough for me. :)
ReplyDeleteThis reminds me of the old George Jones song "Every time I make my mark, someone paints the wall!"
ReplyDeleteThought-provoking post, Birdman. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteOne of the loveliest tributes I've read today.
ReplyDeleteI heard that he died
ReplyDeleteAh, yes, well said.
ReplyDeleteExcellent post Birdman, you said it all beautifully.
ReplyDeletebtw. now you are going to have to fill me in on what a 'smithwicks' is??
PDP-
ReplyDeleteSmithwicks pronounced 'Smiddicks'. Don't be chuckled at by an Irish bartender and call it Smith-wicks. My favorite IRISH beer!
Such a shame to have lost a great mind from our world. I trust my dots to lead me to the future.
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed your words on Jobs. It saddened me of the news. We've lost a truly unique, creative man!
