Reflecting on Steve Jobs' Words of Wisdom; Harvard Business Review, 8/26/11

Jeff Dyer and Hal Gregersen, Harvard Business Review; Reflecting on Steve Jobs' Words of Wisdom:

"On June 12, 2005, in his commencement address to Stanford's graduating class, Steve Jobs revealed:

"When I was 17, I read a quote that went something like: 'If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you'll most certainly be right.' It made an impression on me, and since then, 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.""
