Steve Jobs had some amazing quotes. This one in particular sticks out to me:
“I want to put a ding in the universe.” So simple, yet so profound.
There are two reasons I love this quote:
1) It is a truly remarkable dream. A ding in the universe is a pretty big dent on Earth. Jobs set high goals for himself, and invited others to join him.
2) He actually did it. Putting a ding in the universe was more than just an inspirational quote for him, it was a way of life. He actually worked hard and persevered for years to leave his mark. Most of the time, I think we settle and just leave our dreams in the distance as, well, dreams.
You Can Do This:
You can achieve your dream, whatever it may be. Maybe you just want to put a ding in your small hometown, that is still a noble and worthwhile goal. But it will take hard work and perseverance.
A major part of our vision is impacting culture/the world/the universe. Making a difference is essential to living the full life.
First, you have to identify your dream and sphere of influence.
Secondly, you have to go after it with everything you’ve got.
How do you want to make a ding in the universe?
