Steve Jobs died a billionaire, with a fortune of $7 billion, at the age of 56 from pancreatic cancer, and here are some of his words

“At this moment, lying on the bed, sick and remembering all my life, I realize that all my recognition and wealth that I have is meaningless in the face of imminent death. You can hire someone to drive a car for you, make money for you – but you can not rent someone to carry the disease for you.

As we get older we are smarter, and we slowly realize that the watch is worth $30 or $300 – both of which show the same time. Whether we drive a car worth $150,000, or a car worth $2000 – the road and distance are the same, we reach the same destination. If we drink a bottle worth $300 or wine worth $10 we're drunk"

5 Facts

-Do not educate your children to be rich. Educate them to be happy. – So when they grow up they will know the value of things, not the price.

-Eat your food as medicine, otherwise you will need to eat your medicine as food.

-Whoever loves you will never leave you, even if he or she has 100 reasons to give up. They will always find one reason to hold on.

-There is a big difference between being human and human being.

-If you want to go fast – go alone! But if you want to go far – go together.

Simple yet true

Unfortunately Steve Jobs eschewed conventional medicine when diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. And although pancreatic cancer is probably the worst cancer to get as far as prognosis goes, apparently he had the type which there is the possibility for a cure. So as smart as he was, he was also a bit foolish.

Many "celebrities" have done so over the years. The only one I recall recovering was Dirk Benedict, Face from the A Team.

Another missing reply. Deleted,think a pattern forming

Well I didn't post these 'wise words' from Steve Jobs so why is this directed at me? Quite frankly whether he said them or not is irrelevant. I was only talking about his foolish health beliefs.

Maybe that’s why it was deleted

Ok but your post was, according to my email, in reply to my comment.

Maybe copy and paste any comment you feel might disappear with your response?

It may help to give context to the reply especially if the original comment is deleted.

Milkfairy. I doubt if I have enough memory on my phone for that. I think most know the culprit but can’t understand why ?
