ME: Make It Last

Steve Jobs passed away October 5, 2011. Even with his final days he still managed to come up with more technology for our benefit. Things like the iPad, iPhone, and much more. A man with cancer who lived his life to the fullest and lived it like there was no tomorrow.

When I think of Steve Jobs, I think of man who has made some of the greatest equipment the world has ever seen. so why even after finding out he was diagnosed with cancer did he continue to work on such difficult projects. I would think rest is the most important with this certain disease, but there is a message this. His work and devotion proves to all of us that even in the eyes of death, never give up what you love.

I do sometimes wonder if new I was going to die what I would do. Honestly it's a pondering question. I spent almost two hours trying to figure out I would write about. Pondering I thought of the simple stuff. Go and travel the world, drive a sports car, or even spend a day with Morgan Freeman if I could. Steve Jobs spent his final days making things that he loved and went with a bang. Unfortunately I don't have stacks of money, but I do have something. As I was thinking I thought how brave Steve Jobs was. Not just making these incredible things for himself,but for us as well.

The thoughts in in his head must have been truly dramatic after hearing the news that you have disease that can kill you. The stress must have been tremendous. Constant questions flowing through his head, could I die any minute, what if it happens during an important meeting, I guess it didn't bother me. When I first heard of Steve Jobs cancer I thought he was just going to lay down and just die and give up a empire he worked so hard to build, but he didn't. Now he is a inspiring figure and now a inspiration of mine. I'm not going to lie I was freaking out over me dying when I was a kid. I always thought that I would live to be 300 or something, but after hearing about how they had predicted this before I was calm. I new it wasn't all bs though so I didn't think about it. Until I was twelve I thought death was in the best way I can put it, crappy. Later I understood that we all have our time on this planet and Steve Jobs shows us that however long that is, to make it last.

So  if I was to die,  I have to say I would would split it into three different things. Go to and see as  much of the world as I can, spend time with my family, and see a sunset for the last time. I would love to see all of the world but if I had to stop I would stop in probably Tokyo. Hopefully my grandparents will be there with me, I love them to death. And my choice of death would be flying over the Pacific Ocean and to see the sunset.
