Epic Legacy: Things Steve Jobs Taught Us
06
Oct
Following the death of creative genius Steve Jobs, legendary Apple co-founder, entrepreneur, inventor… as so many are recounting the incredible life, career and contributions of Steve Jobs, I found watching this vid of his Commencement Address at Stanford University in 2005 inspiring, as it encapsulates his time and fire-tested philosophy…
Take-aways for me, from the 3 stories Steve Jobs shared from his life:
1) Connecting the Dots: “You can’t connect the dots looking forward, you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something… Because believing that the dots will connect down the road will give you the confidence to follow your heart even when it leads you off the well-worn path, and that will make all the difference.”
(From what Steve shared, his parents also dared to accept challenges, analyzing the ‘norm’ and doing what they believed was the best, based on the opportunities as they present themselves = Priceless Results)
2) Love and Loss: “I still loved what I did… I’d been rejected, but I was still in love… it turned out getting fired from Apple was the best thing that ever happened to me… it freed me to enter one of the most creative periods of my life… it was awful tasting medicine, but I guess the patient needed it. Sometimes life’s going to hit you in the head with a brick. Don’t lose faith… You’ve got to find what you love… The only way to be truly satisfied is to do great work… The only way to do great work is to love what you do. You’ll know when you find it.”
3) Death: ” ‘If you live each day as if was your last, someday you’ll most certainly be right’…If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I’m about to do, today? …and whenever the answer has been “no” for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something… in the face of Death… leaving only what is truly important… there is no reason not to follow your heart… and yet, Death is the destination we all share… no one has ever escaped it… and that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It’s Life’s Change Agent — it clears out the old to make way for the new… Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life… Have the courage to follow your heart and intuition, everything else is secondary. ”

Becky Cortino Interviews Renowned Jollytologist Allen Klein, Applied Humor Therapy Visionary

Becky Cortino interviews Jollytologist Allen Klein
On February 22, renowned Jollytologist Allen Klein, applied humor therapy visionary discusses his compelling journey and new book Learning to Laugh When You Feel Like Crying: Embracing Life After Loss, with AATH Laugh and Learn Teleconference host Becky Cortino, in a 60-minute interview. The interview will be conducted live at NOON ET (GMT5). Attendance is open to Association for Applied and Therapeutic Humor (AATH) members and nonmembers interested in attending this extraordinary event.
Klein got into this unusual line of work after his wife died of a rare liver disease at the age of 34. He saw how humor helped her, and those around her, cope. He also saw how humor helped him get through that loss. He now teaches others how to find some in trying times. Those audiences include people in 48 states as well as Israel and Australia, and clients from IBM to the IRS.
Klein is the immediate past-president of The Association for Applied and Therapeutic Humor, an international organization with nearly 600 members whose purpose is to advance the understanding and application of humor and laughter for their positive benefits.
Klein is also an award-winning speaker and best-selling author as well as the recipient of a Toastmasters Communication and Leadership Award and a Certified Speaking Professional designation from the National Speakers Association. (Fewer than 800 of its 4,000 members have this honor.)
He is also a 2007 inductee into New York City’s Hunter College Hall of Fame Only about a dozen people are selected from the thousands of the past graduates for this distinction.
Klein’s first book, The Healing Power of Humor, is now in a 31st printing and eighth foreign language translation. It shows readers how to use humor to deal with everyday trials and tribulations. His second book, The Courage to Laugh: Humor, Hope, and Healing in the Face of Death and Dying, documents how people have used humor to triumph over tragedy.
And his most recent book, Learning to Laugh When You Feel Like Crying, shows readers how to embrace life fully again after a loss. It incorporates the five steps of going from loss to laughter: Losing, Learning, Letting Go, Living, and Laughing.
He has also authored thirteen other books, including Quotations to Cheer You Up, Up Words for Down Days, The Change-Your-Life Quote Book, WorkLaughs, ParentLaughs, and TeacherLaughs. And his writing has appeared in four Chicken Soup for the Soul books.
Klein has a master’s degree in humor (from St. Mary’s College in Minnesota—and that’s no joke!) And he is well suited to his subject. Years before becoming a “Jollytologist”, Klein was nicknamed the “King of Whimsy” because he designed all the children shows at CBS television in New York City. Among those productions was one you probably remember—the Captain Kangaroo show.
Although no longer working in the light-hearted world of children, Klein still believes that adults need to take a lesson from them and lighten up. To help adults do this, Klein is both the editor or The Mid-Month Mirth Memo e-zine and founder of International Mirth Month (every March).
This teleconference interview will be conducted live at NOON ET (GMT5). Attendance is open to Association for Applied and Therapeutic Humor (AATH) members, and nonmembers interested in attending this extraordinary event. Registration is required, and allows access the recording.
