"Like many, I learned of Steve Jobs&amp;amp;#8217; passing last night on an Apple device. While absentmindedly looking through my Twitter feed on my iPhone, I saw that every single tweet mourned the loss of one of the world&amp;amp;#8217;s great visionaries. And while Jobs changed the way we look at technology, his life&amp;amp;#8217;s journey has also inspired us to strive for greatness, to be happy and more than anything to really just be true to ourselves. Jobs had quite a way with words and through the years his frequently quoted speeches and quips have caused Apple fans, journalists, business executives, politicians and more to smile. Many of these bon mots come from his famed commencement address at Stanford University in June 2005: We&amp;#x27;ve collected a few of Jobs&amp;#x27; most inspiring quotes (including a few from the Stanford graduation) to share on this sad morning: &amp;amp;#8220;We don&amp;amp;#8217;t get a chance to do that many things, and every one should be really excellent. Because this is our life. Life is brief, and then you die, you know? And we&amp;amp;#8217;ve all chosen to do this with our lives. So it better be damn good. It better be worth it.&amp;amp;#8221; [Mac Stories] &amp;quot;Remembering that I&amp;#x27;ll be dead soon is the most important tool I&amp;#x27;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. ... Stay hungry. Stay foolish.&amp;quot; [2005 Stanford commencement address] &amp;amp;#8220;I want to put a ding in the universe.&amp;amp;#8221; [Mac Stories] &amp;amp;#8220;Being the richest man in the cemetery doesn&amp;amp;#8217;t matter to me &amp;amp;#133; Going to bed at night saying we&amp;amp;#8217;ve done something wonderful&amp;amp;#133; that&amp;amp;#8217;s what matters to me.&amp;amp;#8221; [The Wall Street Journal] &amp;quot;I was in the parking lot [after the lecture], with the key in the car,&amp;quot; Jobs said of meeting his wife Laurene Powell. &amp;quot;I thought to myself, If this is my last night on earth, would I rather spend it at a business meeting or with this woman? I ran across the parking lot, asked her if she&amp;#x27;d have dinner with me. She said yes, we walked into town and we&amp;#x27;ve been together ever since.&amp;quot; [Wired] Do you have a favorite Steve Jobs quote? How has he inspired you? P.S.
