Outlaw Posted October 6, 2011 Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 In 2005, following the bout with cancer, Jobs delivered Stanford University's commencement speech. "Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life," he said. "Because almost everything — all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure — these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important."

rmorelan Posted October 6, 2011 Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 Ahhhhhhhhhh! Why????????????????!!!!!!! No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don't want to die to get there. 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 is Life's change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new. Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. -steve jobs 2005 That was his take on why. Powerful.

MD2019_A Posted October 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 What always saddens me after great brilliant minds pass away is the fact that they're very seldom, if it all, appreciated while still alive. It is only after their passing that they're recognized by friends and foe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aaronjw Posted October 6, 2011 Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 Steve Jobs seriously improved the quality of my life through the products he helped innovate and invent. Ditto. I could not live without my ipad now that I am back in school. It's such a godsend to me. RIP to Steve Jobs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If some of you haven't seen it before, it really is an amazing speech. I like to watch it often. http://www.ted.com/talks/steve_jobs_how_to_live_before_you_die.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
