Happy back to school!
We only live once! This sentence has been in my head for a bit now. I have been deeply thinking and reading a lot about pursuing your dreams. I really am trying to set my mind and figure our exactly what my dreams are. Set goals and work hard to achieve it with no fear. I recently re-read the motivating story of Steve Jobs speech held on Stanford University in 2005. One of the most impressing stories he shared about death and dreams. This is his saying:
"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."
I have goosebumps every time I read this saying. I really want to put away my fears, my laziness away to achieve my dreams. With this blog, I hope I inspire you and myself to follow your dreams. I read a lot of blogs in my free time and I will share with you a brief of the stories I love here with you. I would love to continue my growth on both a personal and work level. I have my fiancé (next to my parents, brother and sister), Ardeshir that will support me in my life and career. I can only hope to be optimistic and passionate for whats yet to come. For now, my dream is to finish my PhD.
Happy back to school!
With Love,
