"Remembering 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 just falls away in the face of death, leaving only the 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're already naked. There's no reason not to follow your heart." - Steve Jobs, 2005
I don't know whose photo this is, but I do know that I've been keeping it in a little folder on my desktop for some time. When a friend posted the above Steve Jobs quote on Facebook, I thought the two would make an excellent pair and a nice time-out thought to what has been a very hectic summer.
Hope you kids enjoy...
