A guide to life

The Steve Jobs Archive.

Rather than go on about a man I miss greatly, I will simply repeat an email I sent to my son:

Winnie –

This came out today.

There is no finer guide to life. The theme which runs through every page is : TAKE RISKS.

You have started well on a life of risk taking, striking out courageously on your own for New England. Soon you will take another risk and spend a semester in France. What could be finer?

The time to take risks is when you are young because you have time to recover from the inevitable failures you will encounter on the way. But if you fail to take risks the only destination which awaits you is mediocrity. Better to be dead than to arrive there.

Love,

Dad.


Steve.
