One of the Worst Things in Life - #2
Directly
Living only because fearing death
-is one of the worst things in life.
Here is a great Commencement addressed by Steve Jobs, CEO of Apple, at Stanford, and I think it will explain my relatively elementary idea as a counterexample.
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.
