Be Shameless and Steal From Me


You may well have read or listened to this. But it doesn't hurt to refresh your memory once in a while. Steve Job's Stanford Commencement Speech (click me)



Keep your passion kindled, as this will keep you going for a long time to come.

Then you need a North Star to point you to your true north as you navigate your water, troubled or not.

I will be your North Star. A shameless proposition on my part. :)

To steal a page from Jobs again:

"The Apple raid on Xerox PARC is sometimes described as one of the biggest heists in the chronicles of industry. Jobs occasionally endorsed this view, with pride. As he once said, “Picasso had a saying—‘good artists copy, great artists steal’—and we have always been shameless about stealing great ideas.”" - Jobs' biography

Be shameless and steal from me.

Note: The above originally appeared in an email I sent to my young friends on April 28, 2012.
