At age 30, Steve Jobs was fired from Apple, 
the company he had co-founded.

2
00:00:10,300 --> 00:00:13,200
Initially, he was stunned by the turn of 
events,

3
00:00:13,300 --> 00:00:17,600
but eventually realized that he still had 
drive inside him...

4
00:00:17,700 --> 00:00:23,500
so he pursued other ventures. He launched 
Pixar Animation Studios,

5
00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:28,800
and started a new computer company, which 
eventually was acquired by Apple.

6
00:00:28,900 --> 00:00:34,600
He stated, “Getting fired from Apple was 
the best thing that could have ever happened 
to me….

7
00:00:34,700 --> 00:00:38,600
It freed me to enter one of the most creative 
periods of my life.”

00:00:38,700 --> 00:00:44,400
I encourage you to learn from his story. 
When life throws you a difficult turn,

9
00:00:44,500 --> 00:00:49,600
re-evaluate your choices, and move on. If 
used wisely,

10
00:00:49,700 --> 00:00:55,100
devastation can bring you to a better future.
