DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BEING HUMAN AND HUMAN BEING

Today I read the last essay from Steve Jobs and this should be a lesson to all of us.

We must keep our priorities straight in life. 

This man reached pinnacles that most of us did not. 

Now growing older and reading this it is so important to realize how we have to teach our children to be happy. 

Happiness and faith is important as we are all going the same way. 

There is not a person on earth that is going to miss out on death. 

When this happens we have to be ready and we must have shown our children how to live the right way.

     

Steve Jobs Died a billionaire at age 56. This is his final essay: 
  I reached the pinnacle of success in the business world. In some  others' eyes, my life is the epitome of success. However, aside from  work, I have little joy. In the end, my wealth is only a fact of life  that I am accustomed to. At this moment, lying on my bed and recalling  my 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 my death.   
  You can employ someone to drive the car for you, make money for you  but you cannot have someone bear your sickness for you. Material things  lost can be found or replaced. But there is one thing that can never be  found when it's lost - Life. Whichever stage in life you are in right  now, with time, you 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 and cherish others. As we grow older, and  hopefully wiser, we realize that a $300 or a $30 watch both tell the  same time. You will realize that your true inner happiness does not come  from the material things of this world. Whether you fly first class or  economy, if the plane goes down - you go down with it.     
  Therefore, I hope you realize, when you have mates, buddies and old  friends, brothers and sisters, who you chat with, laugh with, talk with,  have sing songs with, talk about north-south-east-west or heaven and  earth, that is true happiness! Don't educate your children to be  rich. Educate them to be happy. So when they grow up they will know the  value of things and not the price. Eat your food as your medicine,  otherwise you have to eat medicine as your food.  
   The One who loves you will never leave you for another because, even  if there are 100 reasons to give up, he or she will find a reason to  hold on. There is a big difference between a human being and being  human. Only a few really understand it. You are loved when you are  born. You will be loved when you die. In between, you have to manage!  
  The six best doctors in the world are sunlight, rest, exercise, diet, self-confidence and    Friends.  Maintain them in all stages and enjoy a healthy life."

I hope you enjoy this essay from him and realise how true his words were. Have a wonderful day from me. 

Sort:  

A good reminder that we come into the world with nothing and leave it with nothing.
I've never been able to come to grips with having a garage with several cars in it when you can only drive one!

That really is a very true statement thank you for your reply.
