Useful Quotes

For the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: “If today were last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?” And whenever the answer has been “No” for too many days in a row, I know need to change something… 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.

–Steve Jobs, college dropout and CEO of Apple Computer, Stanford University Commencement, 2005
