Finding Your NICHE
Steve Jobs delivered the following quote of his commencement address to the graduating body at Stanford University in 2005.
“Sometimes life hits you in the head with a brick. Don’t lose faith. I’m convinced that the only thing that kept me going was that I loved what I did.
You’ve got to find what you love. 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.
If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking. Don’t settle.
As with all matters of the heart, you’ll know when you find it. And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking until you find it. Don’t settle.”

To be honest, I always had another dream. It’s always in the back of my mind… a little simmering pot of fantasy stew.
It’s too big and grand a dream for the likes of me. I simply didn’t have the ability or will to follow it through.
But, it’s still there, like a little piece of diamond in the rough lodged in the recesses of my heart.
I don’t know if I’ll ever pursue this dream. There are too many other… obligations.
But, perhaps the greatest obligation of all, is to be true to ourselves.
Perhaps we should go for our dreams. And those who love us, will follow.
