What vital lessons do people usually learn too late

Steve Jobs' Final Reflections

Steve Jobs, who passed away at the age of 56 from pancreatic cancer as a billionaire, shared profound thoughts on his deathbed. Despite achieving immense success in the business world and being perceived as successful by others, Jobs expressed that true happiness eluded him except through his work. He realized in his final moments that the accolades and wealth he once cherished paled in comparison to the certainty of death.

Reflecting on life's impermanence, Jobs emphasized the irreplaceable value of life itself, highlighting that material possessions and achievements ultimately fade in significance. He urged to prioritize relationships and inner contentment over material wealth, emphasizing that genuine happiness stems from connections and experiences, not from material possessions or status symbols.

Jobs concluded with four poignant life lessons:

Teach your children the value of things, not just their price.
Consider your food as medicine to prevent needing medicine as your food.
True love endures challenges and finds reasons to hold on.
Recognize and appreciate the love you receive throughout your life.

He also highlighted the importance of unity and the essential elements for a healthy life: sunlight, rest, exercise, a healthy diet, confidence, and supportive friendships.
