Passion in Life


Steve Job had shared his secret to success during the interview at All Things Digital 5 together with the appearance of Bill Gates. He had mentioned that “Passion” is one important driven factor to success, as any rational person would have given up if without passion.

Passion helps us to enjoy what we are up to. Passion helps us to keep up what we are doing. Tony Robbins says that one need to condition their mind in order to succeed. Passion helps us to condition ourselves and stay at the upmost state. We need to truly love and believe on what we desire to achieve. So we could achieve.

Before we can influence one another to take our opinion, we need to 1st influence ourselves and create such certainty in our mind. We need to drive our mind to influence our body. We need to present ourselves in a positive way with great confidence on what we are about to do or say.

No matter what are you facing now, start to train your mind. Allow yourself to pick up your mind and body. Allow yourself to take charge of your own emotion. Focus on things that you can make a different instead of those you have no control. Talk to yourself positively, and demand for happiness. Remember there is nothing to fear, but fear itself. Do not afraid to fail, because failure will make you a better person. Do not afraid to fail, because failure will lead you to success.

Stay away from those who are trying to stop you for dreaming big. Stay away from those who are trying to settle their dreams on you. Live you life the way you desire, and prove to no one else but yourself. No one can simply please anyone before there is an actually accomplishment, so stay on your feet and keep moving forward. Every step you made lead you one step ahead to your goal. Find your passion and enjoy every little bit you have done for such passion. Live no regret in life, as it is short. Do not allow anyone to stop you from your dream.

Get Your Company A Speaker


Events and media have been the most well know marketing tools so far. Marketing representative utilize different media to present their product to consumers. Events are held for introducing new projects. However, they all focus on introducing the unique selling point of products; those obvious ponts. Mobile devices, computers and other electronic emphasis on tech specs when advertise. Service provider such as hotels and resorts focus on restaurants type, room size and design. However none have get someone who can embrace the product with a story that can inspire people to pursuit a belief; to believe that the product is something they need and always wanted.

The success of Apple was built by thousands of Apple employees, but known through one person, Steve Jobs. Sadly, none has learned from him, and understand the key for Apple’s well known success.

Whenever he was on product launching, he was always selling a dream, not the product. He explained his dream again and again as a story. He linked this dream of changing the way technology was with Apple's new product. “We have reinvented the phone”, he said while introducing iPhone. We can easily felt his belief through those words, and were influenced. Their advertisements concentrated on the meaning behind the design instead of explaining the tech specs. He has built a belief in us, and made us willingly to spend more for Apple’s product.

It is always much effective while inspiring people to do something instead of rewarding them to act. Announcing all those figures behind the product is consider as rewarding the consumer for their action to purchase. Tell them a story and involve them into such story can motivate them to go after the product. To sell a story, one needs a great speaker; a speaker who can influence people through words. Start searching for those talents within your establishment and utilize them wisely. 

Don't tell me words don't matter.

Thank You Steve Jobs

One of greater evil in life is not appreciating another living being. One of the greatest evils in life is not appreciating another living being who has served life to change other living being’s life.

Steve Jobs, one of the greatest visionary legends has left us today. He has spent his whole life in promoting an ideal life to all human being, an ideal life where technology is no longer cold machine but our daily partner. With his persistent, we got to witness the change of personal computer. With his innovation, we involved in the raise of digital music. With his ambition, we have been privileging with the development of mobile device.

Be it if you are a supporter of Apple or not, one cannot or I would say should not ignore the significant contribution from this great leader. iPhone, iPad, iPod and Mac might not be the best product for someone, but they are definitely the trend setter of the current technology industry.

Before iPhone, there were no phones with multi-touch screen. With the announcement of iPhone, all smartphone must have multi-touch screen now. Before iPad, there was no such hand-held device ever, or at least not successfully being known. After announcement of iPad, there are plenty of similar hand-held device on the market now for us to select. Last but not least, without iPod, we may still be waiting for an awesome digital music device to define our daily entertainment.

I agreed Steve Jobs should not be deified, but should absolutely be remembered by all, and grateful with what he has left for us.

Last, I would like to thank Steve Jobs personally for something he did not know that he has contributed. I felt in love with public speaking after watched one of his announcement podcast years ago, and this began my career as a trainer. Due to such change, I have finally synchronized my mind, body and heart to do something I truly passionate about for living. In another word, it helps me to find my inner voice, and allows me to start help others to find theirs. Therefore, thank you Steve, rest in peace and may God bless your family for your contribution.
