Don't lose faith
By Jeremy Albuquerque
I never graduated from college.
I did go to college.
But this is the closest I've ever gotten to a college graduation.
That’s it.
No big deal.
So why did I drop out?
I was spending all of the money my parents had saved their entire life.
I trusted that it would all work out OK.
I decided to drop out.
Looking back, it was one of the best decisions I ever made.
I was lucky.
I found what I loved to do early in life.
Woz and I started Apple in my parents garage when I was 20.
Eventually we had a falling out.
Our Board of Directors sided with him.
At 30 I was out.
It turned out that getting fired from Apple was the best thing that could have ever happened to me.
During the next five years, I started a company named NeXT, another company named Pixar.
I fell in love with an amazing woman who would become my wife.
Laurene and I have a wonderful family together.
Sometimes life hits you in the head with a brick.
Don’t lose faith.
Your time is limited.
Don’t waste it living someone else’s life.
