"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
An entrepreneur and innovator, Steve Jobs was the role
model for many in and out of the technology industry. Often praised for his unique
intuition, the former CEO of Apple’s Inc. was also admired for his stand out
work ethic. Centered on focus and simplicity, his management style has led his
company from near bankruptcy to becoming one of the most valuable companies in
the world. Job’s extraordinary vision not only guided Apple to unprecedented success
but has also attracted an immense following among his many other
accomplishments.
Jobs was a firm believer that pure perseverance is what sets those who are successful from their non-successful counterparts. The words of wisdom from him serve as reminder that passion
is the source to your motivation. As he notes in the quote, his tenacity and belief has
truly transformed consumer technologies over the years. Although his passing
marks the end of an era, the pioneer’s work mantra has definitely left an
indelible mark on the industry.
