Ok, here’s one thing we can all do to live a better life. If we all took Steve Jobs’ advice, our collective capacity to adapt and improvise would see us through any crisis. Hat Tip to Jack Martin Leith for reminding me about this talk.

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.
