Steve Jobs Stanford Commencement Speech 2005 high definition.flv

I suggest you see Steve Jobs' Stanford Commencement Speech (2005): [VIDEO] . The part which conveys this idea beautifully is this: "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" Basically, If we deeply[1] accept/realise that we are transient beings (which requires significant reflection given that we all secretly act as though we are immortal, though we may intellectual comprehend that we are not), one may more clearly distinguish between what is important in life and what is superficial. A definition of the Spiritual Path which appeals to me: "Nitya anitya viveka vichara" -- "the ability to discriminate between the eternal and the ephemeral" [2] [1] As an inherent and basic measure from which all action emanates [2] I would be willing to delve into that a bit deeper should anyone be interested.

2 things 1) Steve Jobs' commencement speech at Stanford. [VIDEO] 2) Reminding myself of my blessings in life. Most of us have many things to be thankful for, even in our worst moments Whatever you do, do not seek sympathy from others. It can be very comforting to vent your frustration to people and get their sympathy, but it does absolutely nothing for situation and only enforces your despair.

Cool. Will check. BTW this is the font I had seen and liked - the one in the body text at this site: [LINK] Squarish in shape, and for some reason, to me, it makes the text appear good. Like I said, don't know typography, so don't know if there is any specific reason why it looks good to me, or is it all purely subjective. Steve Jobs' Stanford commencement speech comes to mind, BTW. He talks about typography in it. Steve Jobs Stanford Commencement Speech 2005 [VIDEO]
