Thank You to a Legend: Steve Jobs

Steve Jobs RIP

Tonight after an evening out I came home to check some emails and noticed on my Twitter feed a number of tweets about Steve Jobs. As we all know now, Steve Jobs has passed away leaving many of us saddened. I simply wanted to share my condolence with his family, friends and those whom knew and worked for the company I admire the most. For me, Steve Jobs and Apple have been an inspiration.  It was a legend that I've been able to watch through the growth of my early adult years. A company's philosophy to "Think Different," which I have lived with every day since I heard those words. Barack … [Read more...]

Be Patient

Stop expecting everything to come to you all at once. If it did, you would be overloaded and complaining about how you can't handle it. Now that I've said that, you're probably remembering a time when that happened to you. We all want everything to come to as at once. We want the money, power and respect to be in our laps tomorrow. If it was, it would be worthless and you would waste it as quickly as possible. Life is frankly sweeter when you have the patience for things to take their own time. I'm not saying be slow or lazy, but letting things take their natural course is important. People … [Read more...]
