Learn how to use the events in your life for successful outcomes.
Recently, Steve Jobs, founder of Apple Computer and Pixar Animation Studios, gave a commencement address to the graduating class at Stanford University. He talked about creating passion, life and death, and "connecting the dots." The dots were events in his life, many challenging and many positive, which led to his many successes. He shared with the audience that being fired from Apple Computer, the computer he founded, he was able to step back and develop the idea for Pixar Animation Studios. By achieving the great success at Pixar, he was eventually asked to come back to lead Apple Computer. This eventually led him to spearhead the launching of one the most revolutionary products of the 21st century...the iPod. He feels that he would never have achieved his successes without his failures and setbacks. He was able to connect the dots to see how it all added up.
So I ask you, "Have you connected your dots?"
Here are five reasons why taking the time to connect the dots will give you a roadmap for success in your life:
"I'm never dating again because of my past experiences with..."
"I don't want to take on the new project because it is too high profile and I might fail."
"I don't want the promotion because of what happened the last time..."
So go forward and connect the dots, and you will realize your roadmap to success.
