Do you know him?

Do you know Steve Jobs? Recently,he became very famous. ...He is a president of Apple Computer. You know Apple Computer,I think. It is famous for iPod. I want to show you his speech. When I first read his speech,I was a high school student. I met his speech on my english textbook. I was impressed by his speech. He says as follow but this is only a part of the speech.

"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.
Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything ― all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure - these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.

Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma ― which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary. "

After you read that,what did you think? Nobody can make that speech I think. Only Steve Jobs can make it. That's because he did many many experience so far. He did happy experience,but he also did bad experience that you can't imagine. I learned a lot from his speech. I realized that what I should do is what I love and what I want to do now.
