laurificus at 07:43pm on 06/10/2011 under steve jobsI am still really sad about Steve Jobs, in a way I didn't entirely expect, and can't quite explain. And I've got nothing to say that hasn't already been said better by other people. He managed to make the world feel both bigger and smaller. It's just very wrong that he's never going to get to do that again.
And this bit from his Stanford speech has been making me sniffly for most of the day:
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. There is no reason not to follow your heart.
RIP, Steve.
