Steve Jobs’s 5 Nevers
The co-founder of Apple, Steve Jobs, in addition to his technical knowledge, his tenacity and his great creativity, left us many phrases that demonstrate his enormous will to improve. And above all, he left 5 never that it is necessary to remember every day, to strive to be ourselves, to improve ourselves and to be who we really want to be.
Never give up
Achieving a dream is not easy, it is complicated, it requires a lot of effort, a great deal of willpower and enormous self-confidence. On the way to our dream we will encounter a thousand difficulties, which will demoralize us, which will make us think that we cannot continue, but it is always possible to continue, there is always a way or another way to achieve our dream.
It is essential to put fear aside, because although it is normal to be afraid of uncertainty, it is not good for fear to paralyze us. Do what scares you first, don’t leave it for last, the rest will be much easier.
Never pretend
Simplicity, transparency must accompany us throughout our lives. Our thoughts and feelings must be expressed, sincerely and without offending others. In this way we will interact with people who bring us values and happiness.
If we live by appearances, the people around us will not know who we are and relationships with others will not be true. Show your appreciation for the people you love, let them tuck you in when you’re feeling down, and celebrate your accomplishments with you.
Never stand still
No dream is going to come looking for you at the door of your house, you will have to go out there to find what you want. Move your body and your mind, with a constant activity. No matter your age, it is always possible to find things to do, it is about getting out of our “comfort zone” and developing all our professional and personal capacities.
Play sports, read, travel, go for a walk, go to the cinema or the theater, ride a bike, write, take a course, paint, take photos, cook, draw, sing, dance. Squeeze every second of your existence, live the here and now, never stand still. Learn something new every day, never stop moving your mind. Do sports every day, never stop moving your body.
Never hold on to the past
The past is something we cannot change, we can only change our future. We have all made mistakes in our lives, but we just learn from them and put them behind us to try not to make the same mistakes again. If we cling to the past, we cannot move forward.
Our memories are part of our life, but we cannot allow them to be an obstacle or use them as an excuse not to move forward, not to fight for our dreams.
Never stop dreaming
During our life we must maintain a dream, a goal that makes us wake up each day with joy and draw a smile. It must be something that excites us to the depths of our being, that motivates us, that makes us feel full and fulfilled. Something that makes us vibrate.
Trust yourself, know your strengths and weaknesses, know your passions and fight for what you want, for your dream. Difficulties should not be a reason for discouragement but a reason to fight with greater determination on the path to your dreams.
Do you remember the illusion you felt when you were a child? Recover that illusion for everything, that curiosity, that different way of seeing things. Smile, hug, kiss, enjoy the people you love. Never lose the illusion for the novelty, for what surrounds you, for how life moves and for every little thing that you find on your way.
