WATCH: Steve Jobs shares his story to Stanford grads


Steve Jobs is probably one of the best story-tellers in the world. In his speech to Stanford graduates he shared three stories of his life. Simple stories yet truly inspiring.

Three life lessons from Jobs:

1. Connect the dots.

2. Find what you love.

3. Stay hungry. Stay foolish.

WATCH: Aware, Enabled and Empower - I CAN!

Kiran Bir Sethi, an educator, talks about children empowerment. In her talk, she preaches the 'I can' attitude and shows the children's journey towards Awareness, Being Enabled and Empowerment.

What I love about the talk is how she incorporated inspiring videos so we can really feel the essence of her presentation. Her smile and passion about her talk was really contagious. And though the talk may have centered on kids, it is something that truly inspired me to say...I CAN!

and I WILL!

READ: Maximize Your Day by John Maxwell

Every morning, before I go to work, I grab my copy of John Maxwell's Maximize Your Day and read through a page. This book is a compilation of some of John Maxwell's philosophies taken from his different books.

There's really a lot to learn and I take that learning as I go through my day. He has some really inspiring insights that can keep you upbeat and motivated on a daily basis.

365 days, 365 thoughts. A truly great read for everyday grind.

WATCH: Want money? Find passion.

The key to making more money can probably be summed up in one word: PASSION!

Ask the same question to successful people, and they'll most likely give the same answer. It's not about looking for money, it's more about finding our passion.

Apple CEO Steve Jobs adviced the same thing in his 2005 Commencement Speech at Stanford.

Guy Kawasaki, one of my favorite speakers, explained it best in this short video.

"Do what you love, and the money will follow."
