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.That in the nutshell is the warrior credo. I've seen examples of warrior poets, warrior garderners, warrio scientists and engineers. I guess Steve Jobs is a warrior business man and artist.
--Steve Jobs from the 2005 commencement address he gave at Stanford
