Steve Jobs Said This Approach to Overcoming Adversity and Loss Never Let Him Down–and Made All the Difference In His Life

According to Jobs, life will sometimes hit you in the head with a brick. How you respond? That’s what matters most.

As for the future? At best, uncertain. All we do know is that certain things have and will continue to change, some of them forever.
