Steve Jobs philosophy of death (and life!)
“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 as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life's change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new. Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.” – Steve Jobs

I watched his Stanford commencement speech on CNN this morning and I couldn't agree more--it's so important to follow your own dreams rather than someone else's dreams. He was an amazing man!
I agree Sandra. It's a real blessing to have people in the world who provide such a clear, empowering, valuable perspective - especially so eloquently stated. Powerful stuff!
