Steve Jobs on the value of death - Part 1
The series of next posts about Jobs, we'll talk about his take on death, and how he surprisingly believes it's one of the most valuable tools there is to bring one to success.
One example of how he thinks about death and its value, is when he reminisced once on when he was younger, on a way to measure where he was at professionally.
He said he started to ask himself this question when looking for an answer: "If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?" For his entire life since the age of 17, Jobs asserts he asks himself this question every morning when he looks in the mirror.
He goes on to say that if the answer to that question is "No" for too many days in a row, he understands that he needs to change something.
As with most things, simple questions like this can lead us to very important answers in our lives.
Death doesn't have to be a depressing or morbid subject, it can be a fascinating study in the opposite of life. Many times while we're alive on this earth, like many of you have probably experienced, it's at times of death, not just of people, but of ideas, dreams and desires, when some of our greatest moments and starts emerge from.
So in the next several posts about Steve Jobs, we'll talk about his outlook and tremendous value he sees in our mortality, and how we can leverage it for life. We'll continue on with it next post.
