Massive solar storm to hit Earth in 2012 with 'force of 100m bombs'

Astronomers are predicting that a massive solar storm, much bigger in potential than the one that caused spectacular light shows on Earth earlier this month, is to strike our planet in 2012 with a force of 100 million hydrogen bombs.

Several US media outlets have reported that NASA was warning the massive flare this month was just a precursor to a massive solar storm building that had the potential to wipe out the entire planet's power grid.

Despite its rebuttal, NASA's been watching out for this storm since 2006 and reports from the US this week claim the storms could hit on that most Hollywood of disaster dates - 2012.

Similar storms back in 1859 and 1921 caused worldwide chaos, wiping out telegraph wires on a massive scale. The 2012 storm has the potential to be even more disruptive.

"The general consensus among general astronomers (and certainly solar astronomers) is that this coming Solar maximum (2012 but possibly later into 2013) will be the most violent in 100 years," News.com.au quoted astronomy lecturer and columnist Dave Reneke as saying.

"A bold statement and one taken seriously by those it will affect most, namely airline companies, communications companies and anyone working with modern GPS systems.

"They can even trip circuit breakers and knock out orbiting satellites, as has already been done this year," added Reneke.

No one really knows what effect the 2012-2013 Solar Max will have on today's digital-reliant society.

Dr Richard Fisher, director of NASA's Heliophysics division, told Reneke the super storm would hit like "a bolt of lightning", causing catastrophic consequences for the world's health, emergency services and national security unless precautions are taken.

NASA said that a recent report by the National Academy of Sciences found that if a similar storm occurred today, it could cause "1 to 2 trillion dollars in damages to society's high-tech infrastructure and require four to 10 years for complete recovery".

The reason for the concern comes as the sun enters a phase known as Solar Cycle 24.

Most experts agree, although those who put the date of Solar Max in 2012 are getting the most press.

They claim satellites will be aged by 50 years, rendering GPS even more useless than ever, and the blast will have the equivalent energy of 100 million hydrogen bombs.

"We know it is coming but we don't know how bad it is going to be," Fisher told Reneke.

"Systems will just not work. The flares change the magnetic field on the Earth and it's rapid, just like a lightning bolt. That's the solar effect," he added.

The findings are published in the most recent issue of Australasian Science. (ANI)

Album: Scenes From A Memory
Title: Through Her Eyes
Music by Dream Theater, lyrics by John Petrucci

Nicholas:

   She never really had a chance
   On that fateful moonlit night
   Sacrificed without a fight
   A victim of her circumstance

   Now that I've become aware
   And I've exposed this tragedy
   A sadness grows inside of me
   It all seems so unfair

      I'm learning all about my life
      By looking through her eyes

   Just beyond the churchyard gates
   Where the grass is overgrown
   I saw the writing on her stone
   I felt like I would suffocate

   In loving memory of our child
   So innocent, eyes open wide
   I felt so empty as I cried
   Like part of me had died

      I'm learning all about my life
      By looking through her eyes

      And as her image
      Wandered through my head
      I wept just like a baby
      As I lay awake in bed

      And I know what it's like
      To lose someone you love
      And this felt just the same

   She wasn't given any choice
   Desperation stole her voice
   I've been given so much more in life
   I've got a son, I've got a wife

   I had to suffer one last time
   To grieve for her and say goodbye
   Relive the anguish of my past
   To find out who I was at last

      The door has opened wide
      I'm turning with the tide
      Looking through her eyes

If you're not the one - Daniel Bedingfield

Title: If you're not the one
Artist: Daniel Bedingfield
Album: Gotta Get Thru This (2002)
Daniel Bedingfield - If You're Not The One
Lyric by: Losing_myself_4ever@yahoo.com
If you're not the one
Then why does my soul feel glad
Today?
If you're not the one
Then why does my hand fit yours
This way?
If you are not mine
Then why does your heart return
My call?
If you are not mine
Would I have the strength to stand
At all?..
I never know what the future brings
But I know you're here with me now
We'll make it through and I hope you are
The one I share my life with..
I don't want to run away
But I can't take it, I don't understand
If I'm not made for you then
Why does my heart tell me that I am?
Is there any way that I can stay
In your arms?...
If I don't need you
Then why am I crying on
My bed?
If I don't need you
Then why does your name resound
In my head?
If you're not for me
Then why does this distance maim
My life?
If you're not for me
Then why do I dream of you
As my wife?..
I don't know why you're so far away
But I know that this much is true
We'll make it through and I hope you are
The one I share my life with
And I wish that you could be the one
I die with..
And I pray in you're the one I build
My home with!..
I hope I love you all my life
I don't want to run away
But I can't take it, I don't understand
If I'm not made for you then
Why does my heart tell me that I am?
Is there any way that I can stay
In your arms?...
Cause I miss you
Body and soul so strong that it takes my breath away
And I breathe you
Into my heart and pray for the strength to stand today
Cause I love you
Whether it's wrong or right
Though I can't be with you tonight
And know my heart is by your side..
I don't want to run away
But I can't take it, I don't understand
If I'm not made for you then
Why does my heart tell me that I am?
Is there any way that I can stay
In your arms?...

More than words – Eric Clapton

Title: More than words
Artist: Eric Clapton
Saying I love you

Is not the words I want to hear from you

It's not that I want you

Not to say, but if you only knew

How easy it would be to show me how you feel

More than words is all you have to do to make it real

Then you wouldn't have to say that you love me

Cos I'd already know

What would you do if my heart was torn in two

More than words to show you feel

That your love for me is real

What would you say if I took those words away

Then you couldn't make things new

Just by saying I love you

More than words

Now I've tried to talk to you and make you understand

All you have to do is close your eyes

And just reach out your hands and touch me

Hold me close don't ever let me go

More than words is all I ever needed you to show

Then you wouldn't have to say that you love me

Cos I'd already know

What would you do if my heart was torn in two

More than words to show you feel

That your love for me is real

What would you say if I took those words away

Then you couldn't make things new

Just by saying I love you

More than words

More than words

More than words

More than words............

More than words....

Complicated Heart - MLTR

Title: Complicated Heart
Artist: Michael Learns To Rock
Complicated Heart
Compose / Lyrics / Vocal / Jascha Richter.

Don't know what to say now
don't know where to start
I don't know how to handle
a complicated heart
You tell me you are leaving
but I just have to say
before you throw it all away
Even if you want to go alone
I will be waiting when you're coming home
if you need someone to ease the pain
you can lean on me, my love will still remain
Don't know what you're thinking
to me it seems quite tough
to hold a conversation
when words are not enough
so this is your decision
and there's nothing I can do
I can only say to you
Even if you want to go alone
I will be waiting when you're coming home
if you need someone to ease the pain
you can lean on me, my love will still remain
If this is your decision
and there's nothing I can do
I can only say to you
Even if you want to go alone
I will be waiting when you're coming home
if you need someone to ease the pain
you can lean on me, my love will still remain
Even if you want to go alone
I will still love you when tommorrow comes
when you need someone to ease the pain
you can lean on me, my love will still remain

:)

i gotta do this., i have to bring down the wall of lies i have created around me, i have to get rid of my sins and my mistakes, and all the decisions for which i regret, and stop lying to myself. i hate myself so much. i do. i believe i shouldnt have been born. it was a mistake. i could not accomplish anything. could not make my dreams come true. i never lived for myself. i never could. everybody likes to see my happy face, so i was happy, nobody could see the pain inside, nobody wanted to. nobody could. my fault :) this life has been unbearable for me, the last few months has been horrible to me, and i cant take it anymore. the burden and the pain is too much to bear. please forgive me, i am a loser, i give up, i lost.

as donna said, may allah help me :) pls pray for my forgiveness :) i was never the religious guy, but then again the last few days i prayed, asking him to forgive me and give me a chance, to give me the chance to hold onto the glimmer of hope. but i guess my karma, my sins play a huge role, i was not forgiven nor given a chance, may be i dont have patience, then again i was never good at anything :) but as i go now, i am in peace. seriously i am. but i am also afraid of the eternal pain and sufferings, can u my friends pray for me pls? i am afraid, still i have to do this. i screamed and no one could realize what i want. i couldnt be the son my parents want, i couldnt be the husband that ila wants, i could not love her in the end. i could not make her realize what i want from her. pls forgive me ila. i only brought pains and sufferings in ur life, the last 10 yrs. has been painful for u. i am sorry to have destroyed ur life. But guess what, something better is waiting for u. i wish u all the best.

Inspiration : Nola Ochs, 98 Years Old, To Get Master's Degree

 

HAYS, Kan. — A Kansas woman who at age 95 became the world's oldest person to graduate college is about to top that accomplishment three years later.

Ninety-eight-year-old Nola Ochs (Oaks) will receive a master's degree from Fort Hays State University in Kansas on Saturday.

Ochs, of Jetmore, set a short-lived record in 2007 when she graduated from Fort Hays with a bachelor's degree. A 96-year-old man in Taiwan broke the record last year.

The Hays Daily News reports that Ochs will reclaim top honors when she receives a master's in liberal studies with a history concentration on Saturday.

Ochs says she intends to apply for a graduate teaching assistantship in Fort Hays' history department for next spring.

One Art – Elizabeth Bishop (Poem)

The art of losing isn't hard to master;
so many things seem filled with the intent
to be lost that their loss is no disaster.

Lose something every day. Accept the fluster
of lost door keys, the hour badly spent.
The art of losing isn't hard to master.

Then practice losing farther, losing faster:
places, and names, and where it was you meant
to travel. None of these will bring disaster.

I lost my mother's watch. And look! my last, or
next-to-last, of three loved houses went.
The art of losing isn't hard to master.

I lost two cities, lovely ones. And, vaster,
some realms I owned, two rivers, a continent.
I miss them, but it wasn't a disaster.

--Even losing you (the joking voice, a gesture
I love) I shan't have lied.  It's evident
the art of losing's not too hard to master
though it may look like (Write it!) like disaster.

Wonderwall – Oasis

Today is gonna be the day
That they're gonna throw it back to you
By now you should've somehow
Realized what you gotta do
I don't believe that anybody
Feels the way I do about you now
Backbeat the word was on the street
That the fire in your heart is out
I'm sure you've heard it all before
But you never really had a doubt
I don't believe that anybody feels
The way I do about you now
And all the roads we have to walk along are winding
And all the lights that lead us there are blinding
There are many things that I would
Like to say to you
But I don't know how
Because maybe
You're gonna be the one who saves me ?
And after all
You're my wonderwall
Today was gonna be the day?
But they'll never throw it back to you
By now you should've somehow
Realized what you're not to do
I don't believe that anybody
Feels the way I do
About you now
And all the roads that lead to you were winding
And all the lights that light the way are blinding
There are many things that I would
like to say to you
ButI don't know how
I said maybe
You're gonna be the one who saves me ?
And after all
You're my wonderwall
I said maybe
You're gonna be the one who saves me ?
And after an
You're my wonderwall
Said maybe
You're gonna be the one that saves me
You're gonna be the one that saves me
You're gonna be the one that saves me

If I Didn't Have You - Amanda Marshall

I don't know what I was thinking
'Til I was thinking of you
I don't remember a thing before I opened my eyes
And you came into view
I don't know what I was doing
When there was nothing to do
Must've been waiting for someone, baby
Now I can see - I was waiting for you

I'd give up my sight just to see you
I'd beg, I would borrow and steal
I'd cut off my hands just to touch you
And tear out my heart so you'd know how I feel
There's nowhere that I wouldn't follow
There's nothing that I wouldn't do
'Cause I wouldn't wanna be me
If I didn't have you

Driving myself to distraction
Until you got in my way
I was just whistling Dixie 'til you struck up the band
And they started to play
I don't know how I was living
Until you came in my life
I always knew there was something wrong
Then you came along
Baby, you made it right

I was alone in the silence
'Til I was hearing your voice
I couldn't see my way clear until you parted the clouds
And you gave me a choice
I couldn't pick up the pieces
'Til I was falling apart
I didn't know I was bleeding
'Til your love fixed this hole, baby, here in my heart

I'd give up my sight just to see you
I'd beg, I would borrow and steal
I'd cut off my hands just to touch you
And tear out my heart so you'd know how I feel
There's nowhere that I wouldn't follow
There's no place that I'd rather be
This life without you would be hollow
This love is a gift, and you gave it to me
All that I am, you have made me
And baby, I know that it's true
I'd give it all up in a heartbeat
Just to spend every moment with you
There's no place that I wouldn't follow
There's nothing that I wouldn't do
'Cause I wouldn't wanna be me
If I didn't have you

Michael Buble - Save The Last Dance For Me

You can dance-every dance with the guy
Who gives you the eye,let him hold you tight
You can smile-every smile for the man
Who held your hand neath the pale moon light
But don't forget who's takin' you home
And in whose arms you're gonna be
So darlin' save the last dance for me

Oh I know that the music's fine
Like sparklin' wine,go and have your fun
Laugh and sing,but while we're apart
Don't give your heart to anyone
But don't forget who's takin' you home
And in whose arms you're gonna be
So darlin' save the last dance for me

Baby don't you know I love you so
Can't you feel it when we touch
I will never never let you go
I love you oh so much

You can dance,go and carry on
Till the night is gone
And it's time to go
If he asks if you're all alone
Can he walk you home,you must tell him no
'Cause don't forget who's taking you home
And in whose arms you're gonna be
Save the last dance for me

'Cause don't forget who's taking you home
And in whose arms you're gonna be
So darling,save the last dance for me
Save the last dance for me
Save the last dance for me.

Amanda Marshall - Beautiful Goodbye

Fed up with my destiny
And this place of no return
Think I'll take another day
And slowly watch it burn
It doesn't really matter
how the time goes by
Cause I still remember you and I
And that beautiful goodbye

We staggered through these empty streets
Laughing arm in arm
The night had made a mess of me
Your confession kept me warm
And I don't really miss you,
I just need to know
Do you ever think of you and I
And that beautiful goodbye

When I see you now
I wonder how
I could've watched you walk away
If I let you down
Please forgive me now
For that beautiful goodbye

In these days of no regrets
I keep mine to myself
And all the things we never said
I can say for someone else
Cause nothing lasts
forever, but we always try
And I just can't help but wonder why
We let it pass us by

When I see you now
I wonder how
I could've watched you walk away
If I let you down
Please forgive me now
For that beautiful goodbye

Love Will Never Lie - MLTR

Nothing can stop emotions
that run down the sides of your face
Wish i could change this moment to
another time and place

Nothing you say can move me
I've chosen the road that I'm on
I have to join the fight for freedom
until the war is won

We will keep the faith between us
if we only try
We will keep the truth inside us
love will never lie

Someone will always hear you
Care about you when you cry
But no one can hear my heart is breaking
as I say goodbye

We will keep the faith between us
if we only try
We will keep the truth inside us
love will never lie

Behene De - Karthik, Mohamed Irfan – Raavan

Arrey aankh se boondh gira koi, chingari ka tukda jala koi
Umeed ko aag laga zara, sehra ki pyaas buja zara
Umeed ko aag laga zara, sehra ki pyaas buja zara
Gan itna baras ke galne lagun main paani ke upar tarne lagun
Behene de mujhe behene de mujhe behene de mujhe behene de
Oo behene de mujhe behene de mujhe behene de mujhe behene de
Behene de ghangor ghata, behene de paani ki tara
Sagar mein ja girna hai, behene de nadiyan ki tara

Sharrt lagi hai marr jaane ki, jeena hai to pyaar mein
Deha kahin bhi ho mera, jaan rakhi hai yaar mein
Beh ja, beh ja, hai sagar ka kehna
Beh ja, beh ja, hai nadiya ko behena
Patte se tapakti boondh ki awaaz sunayi di thi
Nadiya mein tapak kar gum ho jayo
Beh gayo beh gayo, jo reh gayo reh gayo
Beh gayo beh gayo, jo reh gayo reh gayo
Behene de mujhe behene de mujhe behene de mujhe behene de
Oo behene de mujhe behene de mujhe behene de mujhe behene de
Behene de ghangor ghata, behene de paani ki tara
Sagar mein ja girna hai, behene de nadiyan ki tara

Mera pal pal ang ang bar diya, tune jaan pe junoon sa kar diya
Mera hai kya jo main haar doon, jaan teri hai tujhpe vaar doon
Doob gaye jo suna hai saare tere dere aate hain
Dil ke chulu mein bechaare dubkiyan ghote khaate hain
Beh ja, beh ja, chal tod kinare ko
Beh ja, beh ja, dhar le majdhare ko
Chingari udha ke raakh se ik boondh gira ke aankh se
Chalne ke ishaara kar gaya, kar gaya, kar gaya
Sab bhar gaya, bhar gaya
Kar gaya kar gaya, sab bhar gaya bhar gaya
Behene de mujhe behene de mujhe behene de mujhe behene de
Oo behene de mujhe behene de mujhe behene de mujhe behene de
Behene de ghangor ghata, behene de paani ki tara
Sagar mein ja girna hai, behene de nadiyan ki tara

Behene de mujhe behene de mujhe behene de mujhe behene de
Oo behene de mujhe behene de mujhe behene de mujhe behene de
Behene de ghangor ghata, behene de paani ki tara
Sagar mein ja girna hai, behene de nadiyan ki tara

Kaisi Hai Ye Udaasi - Karthik Calling Karthik - Kailash Kher & Sukanya Purayastha

Kaisi hai ye udaasi chhayi, mere dil
Kaisi gehri hai ye tanhai, mere dil
Raahon mein yaadon ki khamoshi barse
Ankhon mein jo gam hain, aasu ko tarse
Ye bataa ye kyun hua
Bujh gaya, kyun har dia
Kaisi hai ye udaasi chhayi, mere dil

Hoo jo bhi mila, woh kho gaya
Tujhko pataa hai aisa hi sadaa hota hai
Jaana hi tha woh jo gaya, dil tu akela aise kyun bhala rota hai
Bhoole jo hain tujhko ab unko bhool ja tu bhi
Warna mere saath yaadon ke zakhm kha tu bhi
Maan ja, ae dil mere
Bhool ja, shikve giley
Kaisi hai ye udhaasi chhayi

Hoo tu hi bataa ae dil mere
Maine to hamesha tera hi kaha mana hai
Kyun hai mujhe ye gam ghire
Mujhe umar bhar kya bas yehi sazaa pana hai
Sapne boye maine aur dard maine hai kaate
Gaaye geet maine aur paaye maine sannate
Aarzoo nakaam hai
Sooni si har shaam hai
Kaisi hai ye udhaasi chhayi, mere dil
Kaisi gehri hai ye tanhai

Mimnermus in Church by William Johnson Cory (1823–92)

Mimnermus in Church

William Johnson Cory (1823–92)

YOU promise heavens free from strife,   
Pure truth, and perfect change of will;   
But sweet, sweet is this human life,
So sweet, I fain would breathe it still;
Your chilly stars I can forego,
This warm kind world is all I know.

You say there is no substance here,
One great reality above:
Back from that void I shrink in fear,
And child-like hide myself in love.
Show me what angels feel. Till then,
I cling, a mere weak man, to men.

You bid me lift my mean desires
From faltering lips and fitful veins
To sexless souls, ideal quires,
Unwearied voices, wordless strains:
My mind with fonder welcome owns
One dear friend’s remember’d tones.

Forsooth the present we must give
To that which cannot pass away;
All beauteous things for which we live
By laws of time and space decay.
But oh, the very reason why
I clasp them, is because they die.

Better Than Pork

A priest and a rabbi found themselves sharing a compartment on a train.

After a while, the priest put down his book and opened a conversation by saying, “I know, in your religion, you’re not supposed to eat pork . . . but have you really never even tasted it?”

The rabbi closed his newspaper and responded, “I must tell you the truth. Yes I have, on the odd occasion.”

The rabbi had his turn of interrogation. He asked, “I know that in your religion, you’re supposed to be celibate . . . but . . .”

The priest interjected, “Yes, I know what you are going to ask, and yes, I have succumbed to temptation once or twice.”

The two resumed their reading. There was silence for a while. Then the rabbi peeked around his newspaper and said, “Better than pork, isn’t it?”

Stay hungry, stay foolish; Commencement address (2005) at Stanford By Steve Jobs

This is the text of the Commencement address by Steve Jobs, CEO of Apple Computer and of Pixar Animation Studios, delivered on June 12, 2005.

I am honored to be with you today at your commencement from one of the finest universities in the world. I never graduated from college. Truth be told, this is the closest I've ever gotten to a college graduation. Today I want to tell you three stories from my life. That's it. No big deal. Just three stories.

The first story is about connecting the dots.

I dropped out of Reed College after the first 6 months, but then stayed around as a drop-in for another 18 months or so before I really quit. So why did I drop out?

It started before I was born. My biological mother was a young, unwed college graduate student, and she decided to put me up for adoption. She felt very strongly that I should be adopted by college graduates, so everything was all set for me to be adopted at birth by a lawyer and his wife. Except that when I popped out they decided at the last minute that they really wanted a girl. So my parents, who were on a waiting list, got a call in the middle of the night asking: "We have an unexpected baby boy; do you want him?" They said: "Of course." My biological mother later found out that my mother had never graduated from college and that my father had never graduated from high school. She refused to sign the final adoption papers. She only relented a few months later when my parents promised that I would someday go to college.

And 17 years later I did go to college. But I naively chose a college that was almost as expensive as Stanford, and all of my working-class parents' savings were being spent on my college tuition. After six months, I couldn't see the value in it. I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life and no idea how college was going to help me figure it out. And here I was spending all of the money my parents had saved their entire life. So I decided to drop out and trust that it would all work out OK. It was pretty scary at the time, but looking back it was one of the best decisions I ever made. The minute I dropped out I could stop taking the required classes that didn't interest me, and begin dropping in on the ones that looked interesting.

It wasn't all romantic. I didn't have a dorm room, so I slept on the floor in friends' rooms, I returned coke bottles for the 5¢ deposits to buy food with, and I would walk the 7 miles across town every Sunday night to get one good meal a week at the Hare Krishna temple. I loved it. And much of what I stumbled into by following my curiosity and intuition turned out to be priceless later on. Let me give you one example:

Reed College at that time offered perhaps the best calligraphy instruction in the country. Throughout the campus every poster, every label on every drawer, was beautifully hand calligraphed. Because I had dropped out and didn't have to take the normal classes, I decided to take a calligraphy class to learn how to do this. I learned about serif and san serif typefaces, about varying the amount of space between different letter combinations, about what makes great typography great. It was beautiful, historical, artistically subtle in a way that science can't capture, and I found it fascinating.

None of this had even a hope of any practical application in my life. But ten years later, when we were designing the first Macintosh computer, it all came back to me. And we designed it all into the Mac. It was the first computer with beautiful typography. If I had never dropped in on that single course in college, the Mac would have never had multiple typefaces or proportionally spaced fonts. And since Windows just copied the Mac, its likely that no personal computer would have them. If I had never dropped out, I would have never dropped in on this calligraphy class, and personal computers might not have the wonderful typography that they do. Of course it was impossible to connect the dots looking forward when I was in college. But it was very, very clear looking backwards ten years later.

Again, 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.

My second story is about love and loss.

I was lucky — I found what I loved to do early in life. Woz and I started Apple in my parents garage when I was 20. We worked hard, and in 10 years Apple had grown from just the two of us in a garage into a $2 billion company with over 4000 employees. We had just released our finest creation — the Macintosh — a year earlier, and I had just turned 30. And then I got fired. How can you get fired from a company you started? Well, as Apple grew we hired someone who I thought was very talented to run the company with me, and for the first year or so things went well. But then our visions of the future began to diverge and eventually we had a falling out. When we did, our Board of Directors sided with him. So at 30 I was out. And very publicly out. What had been the focus of my entire adult life was gone, and it was devastating.

I really didn't know what to do for a few months. I felt that I had let the previous generation of entrepreneurs down - that I had dropped the baton as it was being passed to me. I met with David Packard and Bob Noyce and tried to apologize for screwing up so badly. I was a very public failure, and I even thought about running away from the valley. But something slowly began to dawn on me — I still loved what I did. The turn of events at Apple had not changed that one bit. I had been rejected, but I was still in love. And so I decided to start over.

I didn't see it then, but it turned out that getting fired from Apple was the best thing that could have ever happened to me. The heaviness of being successful was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner again, less sure about everything. It freed me to enter one of the most creative periods of my life.

During the next five years, I started a company named NeXT, another company named Pixar, and fell in love with an amazing woman who would become my wife. Pixar went on to create the worlds first computer animated feature film, Toy Story, and is now the most successful animation studio in the world. In a remarkable turn of events, Apple bought NeXT, I returned to Apple, and the technology we developed at NeXT is at the heart of Apple's current renaissance. And Laurene and I have a wonderful family together.

I'm pretty sure none of this would have happened if I hadn't been fired from Apple. It was awful tasting medicine, but I guess the patient needed it. Sometimes life hits you in the head with a brick. Don't lose faith. I'm convinced that the only thing that kept me going was that I loved what I did. You've got to find what you love. And that is as true for your work as it is for your lovers. Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it. And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking until you find it. Don't settle.

My third story is about death.

When I was 17, I read a quote that went something like: "If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you'll most certainly be right." It made an impression on me, and since then, for the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: "If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?" And whenever the answer has been "No" for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something.

Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything — all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure - these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.

About a year ago I was diagnosed with cancer. I had a scan at 7:30 in the morning, and it clearly showed a tumor on my pancreas. I didn't even know what a pancreas was. The doctors told me this was almost certainly a type of cancer that is incurable, and that I should expect to live no longer than three to six months. My doctor advised me to go home and get my affairs in order, which is doctor's code for prepare to die. It means to try to tell your kids everything you thought you'd have the next 10 years to tell them in just a few months. It means to make sure everything is buttoned up so that it will be as easy as possible for your family. It means to say your goodbyes.

I lived with that diagnosis all day. Later that evening I had a biopsy, where they stuck an endoscope down my throat, through my stomach and into my intestines, put a needle into my pancreas and got a few cells from the tumor. I was sedated, but my wife, who was there, told me that when they viewed the cells under a microscope the doctors started crying because it turned out to be a very rare form of pancreatic cancer that is curable with surgery. I had the surgery and I'm fine now.

This was the closest I've been to facing death, and I hope its the closest I get for a few more decades. Having lived through it, I can now say this to you with a bit more certainty than when death was a useful but purely intellectual concept:

No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don't want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life's change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new. Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic, but it is quite true.

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 others' 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.

When I was young, there was an amazing publication called The Whole Earth Catalog, which was one of the bibles of my generation. It was created by a fellow named Stewart Brand not far from here in Menlo Park, and he brought it to life with his poetic touch. This was in the late 1960's, before personal computers and desktop publishing, so it was all made with typewriters, scissors, and polaroid cameras. It was sort of like Google in paperback form, 35 years before Google came along: it was idealistic, and overflowing with neat tools and great notions.

Stewart and his team put out several issues of The Whole Earth Catalog, and then when it had run its course, they put out a final issue. It was the mid-1970s, and I was your age. On the back cover of their final issue was a photograph of an early morning country road, the kind you might find yourself hitchhiking on if you were so adventurous. Beneath it were the words: "Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish." It was their farewell message as they signed off. Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish. And I have always wished that for myself. And now, as you graduate to begin anew, I wish that for you.

Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish.

Thank you all very much.
