It’s hard looking at the brillant quotes from Steve Jobs over the years to find just one to sum his impact up. I think my favorite might be “I want to put a ding in the Universe.” That’s what many of us try to do. The following quote is about death. It’s odd how much Steve Jobs spoke about his own mortality. But it’s clear he used death as an inspiration to live and work.
“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. It clears out the old to make way for the new. Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic, but it is quite true.”
-Steve Jobs
