If you haven't read the commencement address he gave at Stanford in 2005, it's well worth your time.
One of my favorite excerpts:
"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."
Because of you, Steve, I have a job today. And I can't thank you enough.
Sad. Thanks for the link to the commencement address. Definitely worth reading.
