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. 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.
And Laurene and I have a wonderful family together. It was awful tasting medicine, but I guess the patient needed it. Sometimes life hits you in the head with a brick. 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. And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on.
So keep looking until you find it. 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 in the morning, and it clearly showed a tumor on my pancreas.
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. 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. 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. 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 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. Similar to the above, I analysed this in context to my personal work style and pattern. What I interpreted was to be foolish. Foolish referring to those who had dared to think a little different; think beyond what was being taught in schools and society. Some would call it crazy and say they are calculated risks, and maybe they are, but calculations give reasons not to take action whilst foolishness seems the opposite.
Needless to say, there has to be some limitations to this and only you would know what they are. Personally, I have been blessed to have tried and learnt a lot along the way with some successes and some not. The above is my interpretation of what the phrase means but in an interview for the Guardian, Brand shares his thoughts behind it:.
The frame of mind of the young hitchhiker is one of the freest frames of mind there is.
