No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don't want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life's change agent.
ไม่มีใครที่อยากจะตาย แม้กระทั่งคนที่อยากจะไปสวรรค์ก็เช่นกัน แต่ เราทุกคนก็ต้องตายในวันหนึ่ง ไม่มีใครหนีพ้นความจริงอันนี้ได้ ซึ่งผมว่ามันก็ควรจะเป็นเช่นนั้น เพราะความตายเป็นนวัตกรรมชั้นเลิศแห่งชีวิต มันคือจุดเปลี่ยนของชีวิตไปสู่สิ่งใหม่— Steve Jobs
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 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— Steve Jobs
