What did Steve Jobs say about death:
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. ~ Steve Jobs ~

I understood this when I was 20 years old and saw someone put a bullet in his head. The realization that came to me upon that event was that if you do not have peace of mind all the riches of this world do not mean a thing. If you have peace of mind, and U want money you can go out and make money. To that end I set out on a road of self realization. I realized that mom and dad did not teach me very much and I had to start at basically ground zero and rethink. I knew it would take years and I was willing to put those years on the table,
I also realized life is bittersweet, that we should pay attention to the great beauty that lies in a single blade of grass as our time in the sun is short to do so..
