Steve Jobs’s 5 Nevers
Apple co-founder Steve Jobs, in addition to his technical knowledge, his tenacity and his great creativity, left us many phrases that demonstrate his enormous will to excel. And, mainly, left 5 nevers that we must remember daily, to strive to be ourselves, to overcome 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 confidence in yourself. On the way towards our dreams, we will encounter a thousand difficulties that will demoralize us, that will make us think that we cannot continue, but it is always possible to continue, there is always a way or another way to reach our dream.
It is essential to let go of fears, because while it is normal to be afraid in the face of uncertainty, it is not good for fear to paralyze us. Do what you fear first , don’t leave it to the end, the rest will be much simpler.
never pretend
Simplicity and transparency must accompany us throughout our lives. Our thoughts and feelings must be expressed honestly and without offending others. In this way, we will relate to people who contribute values and happiness.
If we live by appearances, the people around us won’t know who we are and relationships with others won’t be real. Show your appreciation for the people you love, let them help when you feel bad, and let them celebrate their achievements with you.
never keep still
No dream will come to get you at the door of your house, you will have to go out to go after what you want. Constantly move your body and mind, with constant activity. No matter your age, you can always find things to do, it’s about getting out of our “ comfort zone ” and developing all our professional and personal skills.
Play sports, read, travel, go to the movies or the theater, ride a bike, write, take a course, paint, take pictures, cook, draw, sing, dance. Use every second of your existence, live in the here and now, never be still. Learn something new every day, don’t stop moving your mind. Practice sports daily and don’t stop moving your body.
never get stuck in the past
The past is something we cannot change, we can only change our future. We all make mistakes in our lives, but we simply learn from them and leave them behind to try not to make them again. If we stick 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 keep a dream, a goal that makes us get up daily with joy and outlining a smile. It must be something that moves us to the very depths of our being, that motivates us, that makes us feel full and fulfilled. Something that makes us vibrate.
Trust in 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 more tenaciously on the way to your dreams.
Do you remember the dreams you had as a child? Recover these dreams at once, this ability to dream, this different way of seeing things. Smile, hug, kiss, appreciate the person you love. Never lose your curiosity about new things, what surrounds you, how life moves and every little thing you find in your path.
