“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.”
Steve Jobs 1955-2011
For years this bicycle has been leaning against a signpost next to a busy Oakland street. It is a memorial for a bicyclist who was accidently killed.
