Steve Jobs knew that time was of the essence. In his 2005 commencement speech at Stanford University, he gave the graduates a somber reality check: “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."
