My third story is about death
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 will 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 my
last day, if I keep doing what I am doing today? And whenever the answer has been "No" for too many days in a row, I know I need to change. Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've found to help me make the big choices. Because
almost everything-all external expectations, all pride, all fear of
embarrassment or failure-is no longer the face of death. Only what is truly important. Remembering death is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking that you will lose something. You do not have anything. There is absolutely no reason not to follow your heart.About a year ago I was diagnosed with cancer. I had a scan at 7:30 in the morning, and it clearly showed a tumor on my pancreas. I do not even know what a pancreas. The doctors told me this was almost certainly a type that can not be treated. Expect to live no more than 3-6 months. The doctor advised me to go home and take care of everything else, which is doctor's code for me to prepare to die. That is, you must convey to your child in a few minutes all the things that you want in the next ten years. That is, make sure everything is buttoned up so that it easy for your family.It means to say your goodbyes. Throughout the day I live my life based on the diagnosis. At
night, they enter the endoscope down the throat and into the stomach
and the stomach, inserting a needle into my pancreas and took some tumor
cells. I
was sedated, but my wife, who was there, told me that when they viewed
the cells under a microscope the doctors started crying knowing that it
is an extremely rare pancreatic cancer, but it can be treated with
surgery. I had the surgery and healthy until now. This was the closest I was to death, and I hope its a few more decades.Having
lived through it, I can now say with confidence to you that according
to the concept of mind, death is a useful thing: No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven do not want to die. to get there. However, death is certainly approached us. No one has ever escaped. And, as it should be, because Death is the single best invention of life. Death makes life go round. With it the old aside to be replaced by the young. Sorry to be so dramatic, but it is.Your time is limited, so do not waste it living someone else's life. Do not be trapped by dogma which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Do not let what people drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition, then you will come to what you want. Everything else is number two.When I was young, there was a great publication called The Whole Earth Catalog, which was one of the books my generation smart. It
was created by a fellow named Stewart Brand not far from here in Menlo
Park, and he brought it to life with his poetic touch. Was
in the late 1960's, before personal computers and desktop publishing,
so it was all made with typewriters, scissors, and polaroid cameras. Maybe like Google in paperback form, 35 years before Google came along: it was packed with ideal tips and great notions.Stewart
and his team put out several issues of The Whole Earth Catalog, and
then when it had run its course, they made the last edition. It was the mid 1970's and I was your age. On
the back cover of their final issue was a photograph of an early
morning country road, the kind you might go through if you are
adventurous. Beneath it were the words: "Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish. "(Do not Ever Satisfied. Always Feel Stupid). That farewell message bearing the signatures of them.Well
so was the success of the apple can be up for this, but this time Steve
Jobs in name only can we find useful, and the work that he could use. Let us pray for Steve Jobs may be his calm in nature.
