            “Being the richest man in the cemetery doesn’t matter to me … Going to bed at night saying we’ve done something wonderful… that’s what matters to me.”  ~ Steve Jobs

              “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

              The Laughing Heart

                your life is your life
                don’t let it be clubbed into dank submission.
                be on the watch.
                there are ways out.
                there is a light somewhere.
                it may not be much light but
                it beats the darkness.
                be on the watch.
                the gods will offer you chances.
                know them.
                take them.
                you can’t beat death
                but you can beat death in life, sometimes.
                and the more often you learn to do it,
                the more light there will be.
                your life is your life.
                know it while you have it.
                you are marvelous
                the gods wait to delight
                in you.
