Something Wonderful

Steve Jobs    1955-2011

The Three Apples
that changed the World:
The one Eve ate,
The one that fell on Newton's head,
and the one Steve Job's built.
I find it interesting that "The Three Apples" all produced unparalled knowledge.

These are a few of  my favorite Steve Jobs' quotes.
 Read more on my August 25 post, "A True Outlier".   

"When I was 17, I read a quote that went something like: "If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you'll most certainly be right."  It made an impression on me, and since then, for the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself:  "If today were the 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 I need to change something . "

"Death is the destination we all share, no one has ever escaped it.  And that is as it should be because death is likely the single best invention of life. It is life's change agent.  It clears out the old to make way for the new.  Right now the new is you. 

Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life."

 "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."

"Being the richest man in the cemetery doesn't matter to me.  Going to bed at night and saying we've done something wonderful, that is what matters."


He truly created "Something Wonderful".
 Thank you, Steve Jobs, I'll always be a fan.
God Bless.
