“"Perhaps those who teach in any context, be they college professors,
doctors, or business leaders, will become increasingly focused on
imparting greater understanding of ideas and ways of thinking, and
less focused on memorization"

45. Remembering that I’ll be dead soon is the most
important tool I’ve ever encountered to help me
make the big choices in life.
Because 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.
