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.
--Steve Jobs from the 2005 commencement address he gave at Stanford
"Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened."
--Dr. Seuss
