Steve Jobs-citat

”For the past 33 years, I’ve looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: “If today were the last day of my life, would I wanna do what I’m about to do today?” And whenever the answer’s been no for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something. Remembering that we’ll all 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. 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. About a year ago, I was diagnosed with cancer. I had a scan 7.30 in the morning, and it clearly showed a tumor on my pancreas. I didn’t even know what a pancreas was! The doctors told me, this was almost certainly a cancer that is incurable and that I should expect to live no longer than three to six months. My doctor advised me to go home and get my affairs in order, which is doctor’s code for “prepare to die”. It means to try and tell your kids everything you thought you’d have the next ten years to tell them, not just a few months. It means to make sure that everything’s buttoned up, so that it will be as easy as possible for your family. It means to say your goodbyes…” – Steve Jobs
