Good Luck ORACLE - Steve Jobs Has Advice for You

Although I think you let go of a really great person (me) who could have been another 15 to 20 year great asset for you, and although you screwed me and many others who should have been given first rights and re-purposed, I hope your financial results go very well in an hour or so for those who are left. But please, wake up to the need again for human dignity and you ought to re-read Steve Jobs last words before leaving the planet -

“I reached the pinnacle of success in the business world. In others’ eyes, my life is an epitome of success.

However, aside from work, I have little joy. In the end, wealth is only a fact of life that I am accustomed to.

At this moment, lying on the sick bed and recalling my whole life, I realize that all the recognition and wealth that I took so much pride in, have paled and become meaningless in the face of impending death.

In the darkness, I look at the green lights from the life supporting machines and hear the humming mechanical sounds, I can feel the breath of god of death drawing closer …

Now I know, when we have accumulated sufficient wealth to last our lifetime, we should pursue other matters that are unrelated to wealth …

Should be something that is more important:

Perhaps relationships, perhaps art, perhaps a dream from younger days

Non-stop pursuing of wealth will only turn a person into a twisted being, just like me.

God gave us the senses to let us feel the love in everyone’s heart, not the illusions brought about by wealth.

The wealth I have won in my life I cannot bring with me. What I can bring is only the memories precipitated by love.

That’s the true riches which will follow you, accompany you, giving you strength and light to go on.

Love can travel a thousand miles. Life has no limit. Go where you want to go. Reach the height you want to reach. It is all in your heart and in your hands.

What is the most expensive bed in the world?

Sick bed …

You can employ someone to drive the car for you, make money for you but you cannot have someone to bear the sickness for you.

Material things lost can be found. But there is one thing that can never be found when it is lost — Life.

When a person goes into the operating room, he will realize that there is one book that he has yet to finish reading — Book of Healthy Life.

Whichever stage in life we are at right now, with time, we will face the day when the curtain comes down.

Treasure Love for your family, love for your spouse, love for your friends.

Treat yourself well. Cherish others.”

Steve Jobs: highly successful at the capitalist innovation game. Tragic failure as a human being, father and friend . Or so the reports of his existence say.

LE owns an island has had several wives and children ... MH seems to be happily married and women on the side while SC is a highly successful gal who is friends with the president . They are all living large ! LOL

Too bad Steve Jobs had to be on his death bed to have that epiphany. From many accounts he was an ogre of a boss
