In this never before seen interview, a younger Steve Jobs gave a rare glimpse of his vision of the world...
Steve Jobs:
When you grow up, you tend to get told that the world is the way it is and your life is just to live your life inside the world try not to bash into the walls too much, try to have a nice family life, have fun, save a little money...
That's a very limited life. Life can be much broader. Once you discover one simple fact, and that is everything around you that you called life was made up by people who were no smarter than you, and you can change it, you can influence it, you can build your own things that other people can use...
Once you learnt that, you'll never be the same again.

Oprah Winfrey:
Your calling isn't something that somebody can tell you about, it's what you feel, it is a part of your life force, it is the thing that gives you juice.
And always take a stand for yourself, your values, you're defined by what you stand for.
Honor your calling, don't worry about how Successful you will be. Don't worry about it, Focus on how significant you can be in service and the Success will take care of itself.
I think about one of the greatest compliments I've ever received: I
interviewed with a reporter when I was first starting out in Chicago.
And then many years later I saw the same reporter and she said to me,
"You know what? You really haven't changed. You've just become more of
yourself."
And that is really what we're all trying to do, become more of
ourselves. And I believe that there's a lesson in almost everything that
you do and every experience, and getting the lesson is how you move
forward. It's how you enrich your spirit. And, trust me, I know that
inner Wisdom is more precious than wealth. The more you spend it, the
more you gain.
Forget about the fast lane. If you really want to fly,
just harness your Power to your Passion. Honor your calling. Everybody
has one. Trust your heart and Success will come to you.
You have to live for the present. You have to be in the moment. Whatever
has happened to you in your past has no power over this present moment,
because Life is now.
Steve Jobs:
Sometimes life hits 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.
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. Don't settle.
Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life.
Don't be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other
people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out
your own inner voice. And most important, have the Courage to follow
your Heart and Intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want
to become.
Well, he wore sandals and he had long, very long hair and beard and mustache, but very Articulate. I think at one time in his life and it was probably when I first met him that he ate nothing but fruit.
Bob Taylor:
So as a mainline venture capitalist, is this...
This is not the norm. This is not the norm...
Steve Jobs:
And I'm also one of these people that I don't really care about being right, I just care about Success.
One year after LISA, we are introducing the third industry milestone product... Macintosh.
Ultimately it comes down to taste, it comes down to trying to expose yourself to the best things that humans have done, and then try to bring those things in to what you're doing. Picasso had a saying, ' Good artist copy, Great artist steal.' And we have always been shameless about stealing Great ideas.
Billionaire Berkshire CEO Warren Buffett has always been regarded as one of the most successful investor in the world. He was ranked as the world's wealthiest person in 2008. He is known for his personal frugality despite his immense wealth. In an exclusive interview with Yahoo! News and the Huffington Post, Buffett said that all parents can make a “better human being” by simply offering their children Unconditional Love.
Willow Bay:
You have given a lot of fabulous advice but what is the best advice you have ever received?
Warren Buffett:
Well I received in a variety of form from my father when I was very young but basically I think he taught me how to live, he was giving me lessons but he wasn't doing it by preaching to me he was doing it by example. But basically, while the biggest lesson in the sense I got is the power of Unconditional Love. There's no power on Earth like Unconditional Love, and I think if you offer that to your child, I mean, you are 90% of the way home. There may be days you don't feel like it, it's not uncritical love, that's a different animal, but to know you always can come back, that is huge in life. That takes you a long, long way. And I would say that every parent out there that can extend that to their child at an early age, it's going to make for a better human being.
Willow Bay:
And you felt like you've got that kind of Unconditional Love from your dad?
