• He advised us to find what we truly want in life, not be swayed by other people's opinions or views, and have the courage to follow our intuition and passion.

 

• This phrase was originally included on the last cover of the book 'Encyclopedia of the Earth' in the 1970s, and Jobs quoted it to emphasize the attitude of not stopping learning and challenging until the last moment of life.
