Steve Jobs 1955 - 2011
"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."

Brilliant ! If only we,(the simple Human being) could arrive at this point of view sooner in ones own life.
I remember some thing similar being said when Dennis Potter was interviewed by Melvin Bragg,its worth watching if you haven't seen or heard it already :0)
