held up in warning, his head cocked tensely to one side as he listened. In the silence, they heard the creak of a stair, followed by a

window. The curtain flapped gently. Heavy footsteps echoed through the carpet less downstairs hall, and the listening boys jumped at
the explosive sound of breaking glass. “What do we do now?” Bob said

Passage
An excerpt of Steve Jobs’ Commencement Address at Stanford University in 2005
I'm pretty sure none of this would have happened if I hadn't been fired from Apple. It was awful tasting medicine, but I guess the patient
needed it. Sometime life -- Sometimes life's going to hit 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 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 -- and 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 -- don't settle.
