Steve Jobs 1955 - 2011 /reageer

Met het overlijden van Apple-oprichter Steve Jobs is een van de opmerkelijkste en invloedrijkste mensen uit de techwereld heengegaan. Wij vinden zijn inaugerele rede op Stanford University uit 2005 de beste manier om de dag te beginnen.

“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. 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.”
