Some words according to Steve Jobs death. At one point Steve Jobs was thinking of becoming a monk at a Zen temple in Japan, which makes these words even more strong. It is a message for us who still have a life to live.

The twitter account of American TV show "What's Trending" (@WhatsTrending) tweeted Apple CEO Steve Jobs death at first, and restricted it immediately with apology. But unfortunately, the breaking news was true.


Below are Jobs words:
 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.

Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important thing 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.
