From Quora:

A billionaire [named Steve Jobs, founder of Apple] died at age 56 from pancreatic cancer. His last words give us pause for thought:

“In the end, money is just a part of life I’d grown accustomed to. But now, lying in bed with this illness and looking back, I realize that all the fame and wealth I accumulated means nothing in the face of death.”

Take care of yourself. Treat others with respect.

The older we get, the more we realize that a $30 watch and a $300 watch tell the same time. A $30 wallet and a $300 wallet hold the same amount of money.

Whether we drive a $150,000 car or a $30,000 car, the road is the same and we arrive at the same place. Whether we live in a 300-square-meter house or a 3,000-square-meter house, we are equally alone.

True happiness comes from within, not from things.

Whether you fly first class or economy, and the plane crashes, you fall either way.

So… remember this: when you have friends or someone to talk to, that is true happiness.”

Five truths to remember:

Don’t teach your children to chase money. Teach them to seek happiness. Then they will understand the value of things, not their price.

Eat your food as if it were medicine, or one day you will have to eat medicine as if it were food.

People who truly love you won’t abandon you, even if they have every reason to. They’ll always find a reason to stay.

There is a big difference between being human and being kind.

If you want to go fast, go alone. But if you want to go far, go together.

(SD note: We would add: Go with God)
