Using the strategy of Logos, giving it an optimistic tone rather than a sympathetic tone, he made this anecdote a beacon from those in lowly and impoverished settings not to give up and chive on, because good things are bound
Steve Jobs’ assertion, “ 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,” is valid because by remembering that in the end, we will all die. We should not contain our way of thinking and how we want to live life.
