Here are some of my favourite snippets from this inspiring book 👇👇
no one has written the book I’m dreaming of reading, why not just write it myself?
Steve Jobs once said, “You can’t connect the dots looking forward. You can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future.”
“Luck is like a bus,” he told me. “If you miss one, there’s always the next one. But if you’re not prepared, you won’t be able to jump on.”
Every minute of every day, it’s about empowering people to know more, do more, and be more.
If you want to be treated like a peer, you need to act like one.
Don’t let anyone tell you your dream isn’t possible.
“Everybody has experiences in their lives,” he added. “Some choose to make them into stories.” …….. But what your story is about isn’t as important as how you tell it.”
P.S. I’d love to know: What is the single snippet above that sounds most interesting or impactful to you?
Weekly Curiosity Corner
This week I am sharing a new word which kindle my curiosity .
Skeuomorphism
Skeuomorphism is a design style where digital elements mimic their real-world counterparts to make them seem familiar and easier to understand. Think of it as a digital object wearing a costume of its physical counterpart.
Its a Interesting story how I encountered this new word. I was scrolling LinkedIn and I saw an interesting video posted by Alan Smithsonian on a new VR tool called Meetopia.
I asked Alen :
I am curious is it something in human nature that we need to replicate thereal life things when we go into a new technology? Can't we use a empty room with virtual avatars.
Is our brain programmed to feel comfortable in the replica of an actual setting than some artificial one(eg underwater or alien planet or desert theme)?
Then he suggested me to look up for this word - Skeuomorphism
Its an example of my curiosity leading to a question then leading to a new learning.
PS: Share your Curiosity moments with our community so that we can all appreciate different processes we go through to kindle our curiosity which leads to new knowledge.
