Mind or Heart? Body or Soul?

I never really liked Steve Jobs much . Don't know why. But, i agree with his way of living - passion and love. People who run things from their mind, i mean people who always base their actions on calculations, and do not really do things because they are passionate about them - "if i do this, it will be good for me like this", rather than "i love to do this" , do not really understand passionate people.. or do they? i don't know. So, they might come a time when these passionate people might suffer in the world of "rational thinking" and profitability (?). Well, we all still live on don't we? But seriously, we're in a cross-country race across the whole universe. Hurdles, stamina, drive, helping fellow runners, but still staying focused is all in it. Of course, winning in the race is not coming first, its just getting to the destination.

" 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.

No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don't want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life's change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new. Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic, but it is quite true.

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. "
