the treasure of happiness that you would dispense in a week,
in a year, in a lifetime!

thinking of the cold and danger,
but jump in with gusto and scramble through as well as I can.

To be always intending to make a new and better life but never
to find time to set about it is as to put off eating and drinking

I am here for a purpose and that purpose is to grow into a mountain,
not to shrink to a grain of sand.
Henceforth will I apply ALL my efforts to become the highest mountain of all

I will love the light for it shows me the way,

Your work is going to fill a large part of your life,
and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work.

If you haven't found it yet,
keep looking. Don't settle.
As with all matters of the heart,
you'll know when you find it.

Today I choose life.
Every morning when I wake up I can choose joy,
happiness, negativity, pain...
To feel the freedom that comes from being able
to continue to make mistakes and choices

not to deny my humanity but embrace it.

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.
Steve Jobs

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 is Life's change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new.
Steve Jobs
Death, Life, Change
=============================================================================
You can't connect the dots looking forward;
you can only connect them looking backwards.
So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future.
You have to trust in something
- your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever.
This approach has never let me down,
and it has made all the difference in my life.
Steve Jobs

For the past 33 years,
I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: '
If today were the last day of my life,
would I want to do what I am about to do today?'
And whenever the answer has been 'No' for too many days in a row,
I know I need to change something.

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.
Steve Jobs

=============================================================================
That's been one of my mantras - focus and simplicity.
Simple can be harder than complex:
You have to work hard to get your thinking clean to make it simple.
But it's worth it in the end because once you get there,
you can move mountains.
Steve Jobs
Work, Simplicity, Once
=============================================================================
Creativity is just connecting things.
When you ask creative people how they did something,
they feel a little guilty because they didn't really do it,
they just saw something. It seemed obvious to them after a while.
That's because they were able to connect experiences they've had
and synthesize new things.

Bottom line is, I didn't return to Apple to make a fortune.
I've been very lucky in my life and already have one.
When I was 25, my net worth was $100 million or so.
I decided then that I wasn't going to let it ruin my life.
There's no way you could ever spend it all,
and I don't view wealth as something that validates my intelligence.

I think it's brought the world a lot closer together,

there are unintended consequences to everything.

that they're basically good and smart, and if you give them tools,

I have a great respect for incremental improvement,
and I've done that sort of thing in my life,
but I've always been attracted to the more revolutionary changes.
I don't know why. Because they're harder.
They're much more stressful emotionally.
And you usually go through a period
where everybody tells you that you've completely failed.
Steve Jobs

Innovation has nothing to do with how many R & D dollars you have.
When Apple came up with the Mac,
IBM was spending at least 100 times more on R & D. It's not about money.
It's about the people you have, how you're led, and how much you get it.
Steve Jobs

Being the richest man in the cemetery doesn't matter to me.
Going to bed at night saying we've done something wonderful,
