Steve Jobs was a visionary and creative genius. He met every challenge with a “dream bigger” mentality seeing the genius in what most would call madness. His out of the box mindset led to the creation of the first personal computer followed by the tri-fecta iPod, iPhone, and iPad which are now on track to be a technology standard. It is estimated by 2015 Job’s latest creation the iPad 2 will reach 275 million units. Jobs had the ability to create and develop these products because he did what he loved to do. 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…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.
