What is a Life Worth: Steve Jobs

I have no regrets because I am trying to live every day like it is my last. I knew my life had
value to me and my family. I felt like life was worth living even though once in a while a
hard choice would come along to toughen my life. Making a choice is very hard, but when
making a choice it should be one that you will not regret later in life. Making choices is one
of the hardest things in life so you must see all the good and all the bad in the outcome of
your options. Live every day like it is your last. Ebert says that life is a very precious thing.
Hamlet wants to die, but not knowing what is on the other side scares so he decides to live.
Even though Ebert had to get surgery, he got through it and learned to still live his life with
no regrets.

Living every day like it is your last is a good way to live. I wanted to know what his life was
worth. So, I decided to make something of it. I went to Stanford and dropped out; the best
decision of my life then started up my own company. I realized that one day can be the
richest man on earth then the next you’re just another dead person. So, I kept on doing what I
wanted to do. Also not giving up is a key way to stay in the economic race. When I got fired
from his company, Apple, I didn’t give kept trying to make it. So, I came up with Pixar which
is now the most successful animation studio. I made another company named NeXT. Then,
got back into an apple. I never gave up because I knew I still had the intelligence that he
needed. If we were all like me, we would also be able to come up with great new inventions. I
never regretted one choice I made.

Ebert and I always lived every day like it were their last. After Ebert went through surgery,
he may have thought that he would rather die, but instead, he saw the better things in life and
continued to do what he did best. He even helps people understand him by inventing
rudimentary sign language. I am not Ebert but I feel itis safe to say I did not regret the choice
of staying alive. He was a man of great intellectual steals and kept fighting his way through
life. My point in my essay is that live your life how you want and with no regrets. “I
know it is coming, and I don’t fear.” Do not fear death. It is not something to fear. It is just
something that comes at the end of something great. In this case a great life.

Hamlet was a person who didn’t value life as much as others. He lives with the curiosity of
what is after death. He did not completely live like every day was his last. He did not even
know if life is worth living. In his soliloquy, he asked, “To be or not to be?” I believe that he
was asking himself if he should be alive or not and find out what is after death. If Hamlet had
to put a price tag on life, I feel like he could. A large percentage of the world does not believe
you cannot put a price tag on anyone’s life no matter who it is. The government only does it
to provide some sense of economic help. They don’t “put a price tag on a life.” They just
calculate what he would make his living and what he spends on himself. It is only for help.
The value of life has no price that is why we should value it. People see life as a gift from
god, and they value it severely and thank him for it every day. Ebert was a person who knew
the value of life and did not fear death. There are many more like him.

So, what is the value of life? It is more of what is the value of my life. Instead of just trying to
make money, you should try to also have fun, and living life to the fullest is the best way to
go. If you want to know what is after death does not wonder so much. One day you’ll know if
it is absolutely nothing, something precious or something horrible. Until then you should
value life, do things, learn, and live. Live every day like it was your last.
