Words, Words, Words from Steve Jobs

"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." --Steve Jobs

Also, there is a wonderful video over on Mental Floss. I remember the original commercial, but hearing the voice-over in Jobs' own voice really is touching. Hope you are as inspired as I was to let your inner crazy one change the world in whatever small way you can.
 
Have a wonderful weekend.

  2. Heard this part of his speech on the radio yesterday when he started ff with the quote "Live each day as if it was your last because one day it will be true" - the whole speech was very moving and so true.

    Steve Jobs will be sorely missed.
