Should anone ask, treat life as an expriment

Three great tastes come together in this video: Stanford lectures (awesome people talking about awesome things) and IDEO (awesome design) and personal development (becoming even more awesome) come together in this video.

Here is Tom Kelley, General Manager at IDEO

What does concern me through is that sometimes we need to dig in to get beyond the “experiment with everything” phase of our lives. Not everything will be the enjoyable experiment. That said, I have noticed that I work much better on things that I enjoy.  Much! Thoughts?

Should anyone ask, life is a series of conversations, and you die.

Found on my desktop:

  • Life is a series of conversations.  You are not living it unless you are having those conversations.  Step up and talk.

Steve Jobs: Your last day of life:

  • Live every day as the last: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. – Jobs.

And from Tom Perkins:

  • Think for yourself.
  • Always go back to basics
