\n
The last words of Steve Jobs, billionaire, dead at 56:<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
“I have reached the pinnacle of success in business.” In other people’s eyes my life is a success.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
However, aside from work, I\u2019ve had little joy.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
At the end of the day, wealth is just a fact I\u2019ve gotten used to.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Right now, lying on my hospital bed, reminiscing all my life, I realize that all the recognition and wealth I took so much pride in, has faded and become meaningless in the face of imminent death.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
You can hire someone to drive your car or make money for you, but you can’t hire someone to stand sick and die for you.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Material things lost can be found again. But there is one thing that can never be found when it is lost: Life.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Whatever stage of life we are currently at, in time we will face the day the curtain closes.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Love your family, spouse, children and friends… Treat them right .<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Cherish them.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
As we get older, and wiser, we slowly realize that wearing a $300 or $30 watch both give the same time<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Whether we have a $300 or $30 wallet or purse, the amount inside is the same.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Whether we drive a $150,000 car or a $30,000 car, the road and the distance are the same, and we reach the same destination.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Whether we drink a $1000 or $10 bottle of wine, the hangover is the same.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Whether the house in which we live is 100 or 1000 square meters, loneliness is the same.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
You will realize that your true inner happiness does not come from material things of this world.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Whether you travel first class or economy class, if the plane crashes, you go down with it…<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Therefore, I hope you realize, when you have friends, brothers and sisters, with whom you discuss, laugh, talk, sing, talk about north-south-east or heaven and earth,… this is the real happiness!!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
An indisputable fact of life:<\/div>\n
Don’t raise your children to be rich.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Educate them to be happy.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
When they grow up, they will know the value of things and not the price. “<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
