You’ll read this on a hundred blogs in the next little while. Sorry.

I’ve heard this speech before, but want to save this part on my blog, for future reference.

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’s 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’s quite true.

Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma – which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary. (Steve Jobs, 2005 Stanford commencement speech)

RIP Steve Jobs.

This from my friend:

Makes you sort of realize that no matter how successful you are… it don’t mean shit.
 
 

In the next few days, I will cull a lot of posts from my blog, mostly up-to-the minute charts that have no value beyond a week or two. That should clean up the site considerably and once again reveal my “evergreen” content (I do have it, believe it or not).
