i-Monday - is a
new cool rubric of articles issued on Monday for my readers. The term i-Monday
means - inspiration on Monday. The articles are intended to give reader
good examples of success or inspiration and will motivate you on Mondays :) This week we remind Steve Jobs
word to you.
“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. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way
I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are
already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.
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.”
