Dots , failure and Death

Few days back I got the opportunity to listen to the old address(2005) of Steve Jobs(CEO apple and Pixer) at the Stanford Univ. Commencement ceremoney. He gave 3 short but substantive stories where he describe his Life and values he maintains. These are :

1. Connecting the dots : One can not always connect dots looking forword but can always connect them backwords....so believe in something and follow your heart rather than just wait.
2. Love and Loss : Love what you do and do what you Love....keep looking and don't settle until you find that you love to do. Steve himself failed(fired from the company he founded) but did not loose hope...and come back with the bang.
3. Death : Every Morning,Look in the mirror and ask if today is my last day of life and so am I doing what I should be doing, and whenever the answer is no for many consecutive days...then you should know...you have to change.
