How to live before you die!
Tuesday, February 9, 2010 at 9:19PM If you knew you were going to die in a month's time what would you do with remaining time? This is not a rhetorical question! Please do leave a few comments in the comments section at the bottom of this post! I would love to hear how you would spend your final month living!
This great video clip below is a youtube video of Steve Jobs, the founder and CEO of Apple Computer, speaking at a graduation (in the US it is called a commencement) at Stanford University. I got it from the TED website.
I would love to hear your feedback on both Steve Job's speech, and the concept of 'living before you die'. Is it possible to live with that kind of intensity and determination for a sustained period? Or is this just the stuff of motivational talks and popular 'self help' theories?
Here's the little blurb from the TED website:
At his Stanford University commencement speech, Steve Jobs, CEO and co-founder of Apple and Pixar, urges us to pursue our dreams and see the opportunities in life's setbacks -- including death itself.
On this note, I would once again recomend Gretchen Rubbin's fantastic book 'The Happiness Project'. I so enjoyed reading it and found the book itself to be a source of great joy and inspiration. I made a post about it here: Be intentional about finding joy in life!

What I forgot to mention in the last post is that Steve Jobs was diagnosed with a form of cancer in 2009 that attacked his liver and he was desperately ill - eventually needing to have a liver transplant.
Amazingly, after his transplant he returned to work!
I'd love to hear your comments and input!
