COMPASSION

Affirmation of life is the spiritual act by which man ceases to live thoughtlessly and begins to devote himself to his life
with reverence in order to give it true value.
— Albert Schweitzer

Steve Jobs talks about work, relationships and living life while you are still alive.

Steve Jobs gave this speech to a Standford U graduating class and it is available on You tube.  The essence of what he said is fairly simple:

Work is going to take up most of your time so you better find work that you love. Face death and know your time here is limited. Then use this knowledge to inspire yourself  to always be doing things that are meaningful to you and seek to be true to yourself.

We have come to expect a great deal from SJ and so expected the speech was going to be more inspiring.  Steve Jobs is a very inspiring guy.  Maybe he tailored his speech to the audience of youngsters before him but it came off a little flat so it was not included here..
