Steve Jobs on Death & Mortality
Jobs treats death as a practical reminder that life is brief: remembering mortality helps him cut through fear, pride, and outside expectations. Across these recordings, he says that awareness makes choices clearer, strengthens urgency, and pushes him to follow his heart and use time well.
“Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life.”
“Because the last few years have reminded me that life is fragile.”
“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”
