So when Steve Jobs presented his commencement speech at Stanford
University, he noted the following, "your time is limited, so don't waste it living
someone else's life, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition, they
somehow already know what you truly want". You see, the single biggest thing they
can teach us about life, is often death, because it's only when we truly
appreciate how short time is, how short our life is on this planet, that we can
begin to channel our energy into fully living and expressing our true selves.
Now I want to share two stories that highlight this, and which can teach us
some important lessons if we are ready to listen to their messages. The first is
Bronnie Ware. Bronnie Ware, an Australian nurse that works in palliative care.
Now she compiled a blog which eventually got turned into a book around the top
regrets of the dying, but the key message that she wanted to get out there is that
so many people die having an ocean of unfulfilled dreams, not appreciating the
freedom that can come with good health, and realizing, reflecting on the fact
that ultimately, happiness is a choice, happiness is something that we can
experience right now today. And it often begins with gratitude, and the second for
me is a very interesting story, because I never realized how the Nobel Prizes came
about. Do you? When researching this, I found that in 1888, the French press
mistook Ludwig Noble for Alfred Nobel, in an accident, in which Ludwig died. The
French press believed or had mistakenly believed
that Alfred was the one who died in the fire. You see, Alfred was a Swedish
entrepreneur known for his creation of explosives, dynamites for example, and so
when he died, his brother died, he had the rare opportunity to witness his legacy.
He saw on the front of a newspaper in the French press, the title, 'the merchant
of death is dead'. Upon seeing this title, he was heartbroken. His legacy was a
merchant of death, the bringer of destruction, upon reading that title he
set out to change his legacy. So in 1895, he began to sell out his will.
And in that will, after declaring what would go to his staff and his family and
relatives, he decided to put the rest of his wealth into a fund, that each year
would distribute prizes, to people in the previous year that were
furthering humanity the most. And so was born the Nobel Prizes, now you can't go
back and change what's happened, you can't go back in the past and alter all
the events and experiences that you've gone through, but you can begin today to
create a new ending, a new legacy, and to reflect on the lessons of Bronnie Ware's
conversations with the dying, and also what your legacy could be. Because every
day, you are contributing and writing into that legacy.
