Steve Jobs meant many different things to different people. For some he was an innovator while others thought of him as an egomaniac. However, if you study his life, like most people, he evolved with time and age. This quote from his famous 2005 Stanford commencement speech is an example of the clarity a person gains when one has lived a full life and knows the end is near. I hope you use his wisdom to find what is truly important in your life - Sajju Jain
“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.
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.
Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.
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 how 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.”
