| [01:38.93] | Sometimes life's going to hit you in the head with a brick |
| [01:41.99] | Don't lose faith |
| [01:43.74] | I'm convinced that the only thing that kept me going |
| [01:46.25] | Was that I loved what I did |
| [01:47.89] | You've got to find what you love |
| [01:49.96] | And that is true for work as it is for your lovers |
| [01:53.46] | Your work's going to fill a large part of your life |
| [01:56.08] | And the only way to be truly satisfied |
| [01:58.26] | Is to do what you believe is great work |
| [02:00.77] | And the only way to do great work |
| [02:02.63] | Is to love what you do |
| [02:04.61] | If you haven't found it yet |
| [02:06.23] | Keep looking, and don't settle |
| [02:09.07] | As with all matters of the heart |
| [02:10.93] | You'll know when you find it |
| [02:12.78] | And, like any great relationship |
| [02:14.64] | It just gets better and better as the years roll on |
| [02:17.59] | So keep looking, don't settle |
| [02:20.97] | |
| [03:11.21] | My third story was about death |
| [03:14.81] | When I was 17 |
| [03:16.56] | I read a quote that went something like |
| [03:18.85] | "if you live each day as if it was your last |
| [03:21.36] | Someday you'll most certainly be right." |
| [03:26.60] | It made an impression on me |
| [03:28.46] | And since then, for the past 33 years |
| [03:31.08] | I've looked in mirror every morning and asked myself |
| [03:33.92] | If today were the last day of my life |
| [03:36.32] | Would I want to do what I'm about to do today |
| [03:39.93] | And whenever the answer has been "No" for too many days in a row |
| [03:43.42] | I know I need to change something |
| [03:46.26] | Remembering that I'll be dead soon |
| [03:48.06] | Is the most important tool I've ever encountered |
| [03:50.66] | To help me make the big choices in life |
| [03:53.58] | Because almost everything |
| [03:55.43] | All external expectations, all pride |
| [03:58.16] | All fear of embarrassment of failure |
| [04:00.56] | These things just fall away in the face of death |
| [04:03.84] | Living only what is truly important |
| [04:06.57] | Remembering that you're going to die |
| [04:08.65] | Is the best way I know |
| [04:10.72] | To avoid the trap of thinking |
| [04:12.58] | You have something to lose |
| [04:14.21] | |
| [04:45.56] | No one wants to die |
| [04:47.74] | Even people who want to go to Heaven |
| [04:49.81] | Don't wan die to get there |
| [04:51.92] | And yet, death is the destination we all share |
| [04:55.71] | No one has ever escaped it |
| [04:57.79] | And that is, as it should be |
| [04:59.97] | Because death is every likely the single best invention of life |
| [05:04.67] | It's life's change agent |
| [05:06.30] | It clears out the old to make way for the new |
| [05:09.47] | Right now, the new is you |
| [05:12.20] | |
| [05:14.53] | Your time is limited |
| [05:16.03] | So don't waste it living in someone else's life |
| [05:20.17] | Don't be trapped by dogma |
| [05:22.26] | which is living with the results of other people's thinking |
| [05:25.52] | Don't let the noise and others' opinions drown out your own inner voice |
| [05:29.67] | And most important |
| [05:31.20] | Have the courage to follow your heart and intuition |
| [05:33.93] | They somehow already know |
| [05:36.01] | What you truly want to become |
| [05:38.19] | Everything else is secondary |
