Steve Jobs' last words......
You will know of Steve Jobs, CEO and
maker of iPad...iPhone etc.
He died a billionaire at 56yrs of
Pancreatic Cancer and here are his last words on the sick bed:
"I
reached the pinnacle of success in the business world. In others’ eyes my life
is an epitome of success.
However, aside from work, I have
little joy. In the end, wealth is only a fact of life that I am accustomed to.
At this moment, lying on the sick
bed and recalling my whole life, I realize that all the recognition and
wealth that I took so much pride in,
have paled and become meaningless in the face of impending death.
You can employ someone to drive the
car for you, make money for you but you cannot have someone to bear the
sickness for you.
Material things lost can be found.
But there is one thing that can never be found when it is lost –
"Life".
When a person goes into the
operating room, he will realize that there is one book that he has yet to
finish reading – "Book of Healthy Life".
Whichever stage in life we are at
right now, with time, we will face the day when the curtain comes down.
Treasure Love for your family, love
for your spouse, love for your friends...
Treat yourself well. Cherish others.
As we grow older, and hence wiser,
we slowly realize that wearing a $300 or $30 watch - they both tell the same
time...
Whether we carry a $300 or $30
wallet/handbag - the amount of money inside is the same;
Whether we drive a $150,000 car or a
$30,000 car, the road and distance is the same, and we get to the same
destination.
Whether we drink a bottle of $300 or
$10 wine - the hangover is the same;
Whether the house we live in is 300
or 3000 sq ft - loneliness is the same.
You will realize, your true inner
happiness does not come from the material things of this world.
Whether you fly first or economy
class, if the plane goes down - you go down with it...
Therefore.. I hope you realize, when
you have mates, buddies and old friends, brothers and sisters, who you chat
with, laugh with, talk with, sing with, talk about north-south-east-west or
heaven and earth, .... That is true happiness!!
The One who loves you will never
leave you for another because even if there are 100 reasons to give up he or
she will find one reason to hold on.
Sent with Smiles, Affection and Love
