Steve Jobs on Life Lessons

Jobs’s life lessons center on trusting the path, doing work you love, and using setbacks to keep going. Across these recordings, he says you can only understand many choices in hindsight, and that remembering how limited time is helps strip away fear and outside expectations.

“You can only connect them looking backwards.”
“You've got to act.”
“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”
