"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 it truly important. Remember 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 to not follow your heart." —Steve Jobs

"People say you have to have a lot of passion for what you're doing and it's totally true. And the reason is because it's so hard that if you don't, any rational person would give up. It's really hard. And you have to do it over a sustained period of time. So if you don't love it, if you're not having fun doing it, you don't really love it, you're going to give up." -Steve Jobs
