Final Analysis
" I reached the pinnacle of success in the business world. In others’ eyes, my life is an epitome of success.
However, aside from work, I have little joy. In the end, wealth is only a fact of life that I am accustomed to.
At this moment, lying on the sick bed and recalling my whole life, I realise that all the recognition and wealth that I took so much pride in, have paled and become meaningless in the face of impending death.
In the darkness, I look at the green lights from the life supporting machines and hear the humming mechanical sounds, I can feel the breath of god of death drawing closer…
Now I know, when we have accumulated sufficient wealth to last our lifetime, we should pursue other matters that are unrelated to wealth… Should be something that is more important: Perhaps relationships, perhaps art, perhaps a dream from younger days … Non-stop pursuing of wealth will only turn a person into a twisted being, just like me.
God gave us the senses to let us feel the love in everyone’s heart, not the illusions brought about by wealth. The wealth I have won in my life I cannot bring with me. What I can bring is only the memories precipitated by love. That’s the true riches which will follow you, accompany you, giving you strength and light to go on.
Love can travel a thousand miles. Life has no limit. Go where you want to go. Reach the height you want to reach. It is all in your heart and in your hands.
What is the most expensive bed in the world? – “Sick bed” …
You can employ someone to drive the car for you, make money for you but you cannot have someone to bear the sickness for you. Material things lost can be found. But there is one thing that can never be found when it is lost – “Life”. When a person goes into the operating room, he will realize that there is one book that he has yet to finish reading – “Book of Healthy Life”.
Whichever stage in life we are at right now, with time, we 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. Cherish others."
Response To Final Analysis
As I read Steve Jobs story, I can't help but imagine what his life could have been like if he was aware of the 9 health principals in the acronym A NEW START.
ATTITUDE:
He sadly only realised on his death bed the lack of life he actually had other than the pursuing of wealth.
FOUR PRIMARY FOODS:
He clearly realised on his deathbed how much he missed out on in his life as he laid there all alone listening to the sound of the machines whilst watching the green lights flick.
How much more could he have done in his life given he had enough wealth to do whatever he wanted to do. Instead he worked himself to his grave and sadly died on the 5th of October 2011 at the age of 56. I am 59 and thought I was going to die 13 years ago.
I have made it my life work to help give everyone a chance at life...
