“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.”
—— Steve Jobs, 2005

提醒自己即将行将就木，如此一来在面对那些人生中最重要的选择时，所有的外界期许、荣耀、对失败的恐惧都会烟消云散。没有任何可失去的，因此没有理由不遵从自己的内心。

拥有即是被拥有，一旦拥有的东西超过了基本生存发展的需要，就会变成限制我们执行意志的障碍。担心失去这个，担心失去那个，最终只会活成生活的傀儡。
