What if you only had 5 minutes left to live...

YT: What would you do if you had five minutes to live? Trace a young man's few minutes of trying to fulfill his highest potential.

An inspiring sentiment by Steve Jobs at the very end. Well worth your time and thought.

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. 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. - Steve Jobs

I've had that full quote displayed on my Facebook page for a few years now. I re-read it from time to time to remind myself to act and not just wish and imagine. I have far too many regrets and missed opportunities for a 32 year old; for someone of any age, really.

Isn't that Tyler Durden's philosophy? Srsly, doesn't he pretty much say that once you realize you're going to die, you can "free" yourself to do anything?

Oh fuck, double post...

I'll attempt to back up my previous comment. It just has this..manufactured feel good vibe to it, as if the author doesn't really care about human potential, he just wants to generate an "aww" moment.

It's not exactly a new concept that we'd probably act differently if we thought we were going to die shortly
