Steve Jobs: Imitated, Never Duplicated - NYTimes.com - 0 views

  • In 2005, Steve Jobs gave the commencement address to the graduating students at Stanford. He told them the secret that defined him in every action, every decision, every creation of his tragically unfinished life:“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. Everything else is secondary.”

  • Sucker Punch (Schoolgirls kicking ass! Nazi robot monsters! Dragons!) and Drive Angry (Nicolas Cage shot out of hell! Slo-mo bloodbaths aplenty! Non-stop badassery! In 3-D!) that are not, in fact, awesome. The latter, I compared to a Steve Vai solo album: That much virtuosity, without modulation, can wind up seeming paradoxically bland and homogenous

      Name-dropping movies that weren't good, also the Steve Vai comparison. Both ethos and pathos.
