Just heard the tragic news that Apple co-founder Steve Jobs aged 56 has died from pancreatic cancer.

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.....

Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of other's opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.

Steve Jobs

How very true and poignant - most of us do, however, lack "the courage..."

He must have been a real fighter to carry on as long as he did.

That is really good advice........I would add......There is no reason not to follow your dreams.

In the hurry and scurry of life it is easy to forget that life is finite......and that tomorrow is promised to no-one.

I know what carried him on......he had a goal.
R.I.P. Steve Jobs.
