Are you letting life slip away?
Musings / Notes based on a YouTube video I watched: Are you letting life slip away?
Every man has 2 lives, and the 2nd starts when he realises he has just 1.
- Confucius (kuhn·fyoo·shuhs)
75 Years. That’s how much time you get if you’re lucky.
75 Springs, 75 Summers and 75 Autumns
Don’t waste them.
Don’t preoccupy yourself with superficial things.
Get back to what’s important now.
You could be loving more, taking more chances, living more.
Make sure you’re happy and interpreting everything in the best possible way because you’re alive for a very short time. - Naval
Ask her out. No matter who she is:
Job? New City? Actual Person? An opportunity? A fear?
If you’re afraid of heights, ask her out!
Hey heights, what are you doing tonight?

Original Video: Steve Jobs Secrets of Life
*When you grow up, you’re told the world is the way it is and your life is just to live inside it and not bash into the walls too much. Have fun, save a little money, have a family life. Life can be much broader.
*Everything around you that you call "life" was created by people no smarter than you. You can change it, influence it, build your own things for other people to use.
The moment you understand that you can poke life and something will come out on the other side, you can shape it, you can mould it...*
Shake off the notion that life is there and you just live in it.
Embrace your life, change it, mould it and make your mark upon it.
