Words to Live By – Six Ways to Breathe Life into Your Day |
|
We’ve heard the instructions many times over. There is such
familiarity that many people can almost recite them verbatim.
In fact, these directives are so crucial; they are printed on
placards and demonstrated visually by the staff. They are so
important that they can’t wait until you are airborne to share.
I’m talking about the life-saving instructions on what to do in
case of an emergency that airline passengers receive on every
flight before they’re airborne. Given without fail around the

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:
