RIP: Also of Old Beliefs, Dead Customs and Out-dated People.

Here's to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes ...
the ones who see things differently--- they're not fond of rules, and they have no respect for the status quo...
You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them, but the only thing you can't do is ignore them...
because they change things...
They push the human race forward, and while those retarded may see them as the bad ones, we see the genius
in them because the people who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do.

Here I pay homage to one of them, the greatest 'dreamer-doer' of our times and of whom two centuries were fortunate to know.

Steve Jobs is his name. He said, "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."

“Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogmas - which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.” - he stressed.

So, here I endorse my heart-felt grief at the sad demise of Steve Jobs, the legendary co-founder and former chief executive of Apple Inc, who died on Wednesday after a long battle with cancer. History never can afford to forget this GREAT MAN.

Thanking you,
Love,
Prof. Dr. Alex Abraham Odikandathil

  1. In response to a guy nick-named Cyril george:

    If Chrysostom Thirumeni is endowed with the gift of humour, Veloor Krishnankutty was endowed with the gift of wit.
    Your mouth foams with the praise of priests and bishops- may need mouthwash.
    The money from abroad is good but not those who donate it, that's what you say?
    Are you Cyril or Syringe- can prick only, unable to cut deep..
    Thanks.
