Steve Jobs On Mortality And Decisions
“Remembering that I’ll be dead soon is the most important tool that 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…For the past 33 years I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: “If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?” And whenever the answer has been “No” too many days in a row, I know I need to change something.”

It is extremely rare when someone has a strong enough grasp on US History to really understand where and when things started to happen. I really enjoy, and am relieved when I know there are some out there that really truly have read up on things. Answers to questions about the United States like this show that glimmer of hope…
“I would have to say that the Civil War was the end of America as envisioned by the Constitution. That was the point when the framework of government outlined by the Constitution was replaced by a system of corporate governance which lead to the abuse of the Commerce Clause and allowed the creation of the American Bankers Association, which lead to the creation of the American Bar Association, which in turn created the Uniform Law Commission which created and gradually implemented the Uniform Commercial Code. This allowed private special interests to run end runs around the Constitution. From this the Commerce Clause downgraded the role of states and local governments in the regulation of business and commerce and has created and maintained the commercial framework by which the captains of finance and industry have nearly totally and completely raised their status as the true property owners of America and have essentially exerted their will through unelected boards and councils. Articulating the natural law as the basis for the founding of a country was an exciting idea. Although short lived It was an exciting time in history and worth much reflection in my opinion.”
