THIS ARTICLE IS “PRICELESS” - IN STEVE JOBS’ OWN WORDS…
In 2011 Steve Jobs of Apple died at the age of 56 from pancreatic #cancer, leaving a fortune of 7 billion dollars - these are some of his last words: “At this moment, lying in bed sick and remembering all my life, I realize that all the recogni- tion and wealth I have is meaningless in the face of imminent death... I have the money to hire the best at whatever task it is, but it is not possible to hire someone to carry my illness... Money can get you all sorts of material things, but there is one thing that cannot be bought: “life.” As I grew older, I realized that a $300 watch and a $3,000,000 watch show the same time. With a $150,000 car and a $15,000,000 car we can reach the same destination. That a $150 wine or a $1500 wine generates the same “hangover”, that in a 300 square me - ter house, or in a 3000 one, loneliness is the same. True happiness does not come from material things, it comes from the affection that our loved ones give us... So, I hope you understand that when you have friends or someone to talk to, it’s true happiness... Don’t educate your children to be rich. Educate them to be happy, and then, when they grow up, they will know the value of things, not the price.” - Steve Jobs
