"Dont' lose faith."

Sometimes life hits you in the head with a brick. Don't lose faith.

Steve Jobs, CEO of Apple Computer and of Pixar Animation Studios, delivered a speech to graduates at Stanford University on June 12, 2005.

We had just released our finest creation — the Macintosh — a year earlier, and I had just turned 30. And then I got fired. How can you get fired from a company you started?...So at 30 I was out. And very publicly out. What had been the focus of my entire adult life was gone, and it was devastating...Sometimes life hits you in the head with a brick. Don't lose faith.

Steve Jobs left Apple in 1985 and returned as its CEO again in 1997.
