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.-Steven Jobs, in a 2005 speech.
If you have know that you are going to die soon then everything you do will be with you. Asking yourself every step you talk you'll ask if this is worth the time you have left. If the answer is no then go find something that is worth doing. And if the answer is yes, then take hold of the moment and remember forever. I also agree with his advice because everybody takes things for granted. Everybody who has a phone and has texting is going on 24/7. Everything that you do is in some way kept on phones. But advice is one thing that you should never take for granted. Follow it, unless it is something ridiculous.
If you were to start following his advice of living everyday as if it was your last, life and you would change. You would learn that anything that is done in this world isn't perfect. Everything that would be done would have much more purpose to you. You would care more for everything. Your grades in school, What arguments that you have and don't have, what you do after school. Before you do anything you will think how will this effect me and in what ways?
