I’m reminded of a Steve Jobs quote I found buried deep in some notes I was cleaning out. > Steve Jobs : "When I was 17, I read a quote that went something like: "If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you'll most certainly be right." It made an impression on me, and since then, for the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: "If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?" And whenever the answer has been "No" for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something.""

This was from the commencement speech he gave at Sanford (starts at about 9:10). Not originally his quite, he was paraphrasing something he heard. Great speech, very worth watching for those who haven’t seen it. https://youtu.be/UF8uR6Z6KLc https://youtu.be/UF8uR6Z6KLc

Yeah, but on any particular day you only have a 1 in 20,000 or so chance of being right (and of course it varies with age).
