Just read a quote from Steve Jobs (Apple) biography that hit home.  This was in regards to his Yacht (under construction at the time) but was really more or less a metaphore about his life:  "I know that it’s possible I will die and leave Laurene with a half-built boat," he said. "But I have to keep going on it. If I don’t, it’s an admission that I’m about to die."

What type of "half-build boats" do we leave in our wake?

when Nathan and I started free diving, I reminded him every trip that he was one breath hold away from death.  Then you start to realize that we all are at any moment.  Its not if we die but rather when.  Disease, accidents, things that affect your friends, family and community

Each day is a gift, and once you realize that, you tend to become a nicer person.  Or like me just less of an ass than I was  :smt003
