One of the most influential and visionary people in my lifetime dad last night. For not knowing the man, it's surprising how his passing is making me feel. It's a true loss to not only his family, but the technology community and the world.
I just watched a 15 minute speech from Steve Jobs at a Stanford graduation in 2005. He said that he had heard early on in life the saying… “If you live each day like it will be your last, eventually you will be right.” It made him realize that living each day is just as important as the next and it helped him make the big decisions. He said that he would wake up and say, “Is what I am about to do today what I’d want to do if it were my last day, and do I love it?”, and after too many “no” days, he changed what his days were.
How amazing is that?
