Stay Hungry, Stay Foolish

‎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. 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. 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.

“Being the richest man in the cemetery doesn’t matter … Going to bed at night saying we’ve done something wonderful…that matters. ” Steve Jobs

Here’s the Stanford Speech for your review. www.bilal.ca/the-best-14-minutes-of-your-life/

Writer Nicholas Thurkettle said that “People who speak of Steve Jobs’s legacy in tech terms are missing the story. Tech was the medium. Jobs was a philosopher.” If you would like to check out the other blog posts that have been inspired by Steve Jobs over the years on this blog, please click here.

I literally teared when my wife informed me about Steve Job’s death. As Om Malik said, “Steve taught me to care about the little things, because in the end, little things matter.”

Rest in Peace Steve. Sincere condolences to the Jobs family who have lost a father and husband to cancer at 56. We lost much. They lost more.
