Steve

So another public figure passed away. And Facebook and the blogs and everything will be writing about how great this guy is.
But what about you?
After so many celebrities, high profile deaths, what did you learned?

1. Fame and money can't stop death. Sounds corny, but if you think carefully, it can be very frightening.
2. Like from the song "If I die young", 'funny when you're dead how people start listening.' Suddenly quotes from such people will begin to pop out in status updates.
3. People will appreciate you only after you're dead and gone. Not if you're not dead and went for holidays.
4. They will be mourning for you for about 3 days, then totally forgets about you.
5. The stuffs that you do before you die will haunt you forever. Like if you're a good guy, but you started sleeping around with guys before you die. Then after death, you'll forever be known as a guy rapist.

So today's lesson.

1. Don't spend all  your time on money and fame. Spend with families, friends, dogs, cats and love ones (and some good video games). When you die, your money won't come visit you (of cause you can still have fancy funerals, but is not like you can enjoy it). Think about it, on your deathbed, whose hands do you want to hold? (Hands because you got two hands, so one hand one fella)
2. If you live what you preached, you're quotes will be quoted even before you die. Hehe.
3. People will appreciate you only after you're dead and gone. Unfortunately this fact cannot be change.
4. If you really want to live on after you've died, go change and touched other people's life. Even strangers who you will crossing paths with. Then you'd be living on earth forever. (Example, go punch a random guy for no reason, then he'll forever remember you)
5. The stuffs that you do before you die will haunt you forever. So if you're a guy rapist, try to do more good stuffs like donating to some charity. Then after death, you'll forever be known as a guy rapist.

Learned it well.

Dear Steve Jobs,
Thanks for the iPhone! It's a little pricey, but its worth every penny I've spent on it. You literally changed my life (sort of, if the iPhone is free, then of course the change is more). I dunno much about you, just that you've come out with many cool stuffs mainly the Mac computer stuffs, iPod, iPhone, and iPad. And sort of arch-enemy of Bill Gates.

Why you'd have to go so young I totally couldn't understand. Its really sad.
Take care!
