🕯️ Steve Jobs: Final Words
“I managed to reach the pinnacle of success in the business world.
Many people see my life as the embodiment of achievement.
But aside from work, I had little joy. Wealth, to me, became nothing more than a habit — just a fact of life.”
Now, as I lie in a hospital bed, looking back at my entire life, I finally understand something I missed all along.
The wealth and recognition I was once so proud of have lost their meaning in the face of death.
In the quiet of the room, when I see the green light of the life-support machine and hear its rhythmic hum, I can feel the presence of death — and the breath of God.
When you have enough money, it’s time to focus on something far more important — things that have nothing to do with wealth.
There are greater treasures in life: love, relationships, art, the dreams of our childhood.
The constant pursuit of profit turns us into puppets — and I was one of them.
God gave us emotions for a reason — so we could express love to those around us.
The fortune I accumulated in life cannot be taken with me.
What I can take are the memories of love — the true wealth that should follow you, sustain you, and give you strength.
Love can travel vast distances.
Life has no limits.
Climb the heights that your heart desires.
Go where your spirit calls you.
It’s all in your hands.
With money, you can hire people to drive you, to work for you, to take care of your home — but no one can carry your pain or sickness for you.
Material things can be replaced or regained.
But there is one thing you can never get back once it’s gone — life itself.
No matter how old you are or how much you’ve achieved, the day will come when the curtain falls…
Your greatest treasure is the love you share — with your family, your partner, your friends, your loved ones.
Take care of yourself.
Take care of others. ❤️
