    What is a Life Worth: Steve Jobs

    Steve Jobs is trying to say that you should live every day like it is your last. He knew his
    life had value to him and his family. He felt like life was worth living even though once
    in a while a hard choice would come along to toughen his 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 to the outcome of your options. Live everyday like it is your last. Ebert says
    that life is a very precious thing. Hamlet wants to die, but him 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 good way to live. He wanted to know what his life
    was worth. So he decided to make something of it. He went to Stanford dropped out,
    best decision of his life, then started up his own company. He realized that one day
    you can be the richest man on earth then the next you’re just another dead person.
    So he kept on doing what he wanted to do. Also not giving up is a key way to stay in
    the economic race. When Steve got fired from his company, Apple, he didn’t give up
    kept trying to make it. So he came up with Pixar which is now the most successful
    animation studio. He then made another company named NeXT. Then, got back into
    Apple. He never gave up because he knew he still had the intelligence that he
    needed. If we were all like Steve we would also be able to come up with great new
    inventions. He never regretted one choice he made.

    Ebert and Jobs always lived everyday like it was 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 helped people
    understand him by inventing rudimentary sign language. I am not Ebert but I feel it
    is safe to say he did not regret the choice of staying alive. He was a man with great
    intellectuals and kept fighting his way through life. Jobs point in his essay is that
    living your life how you want and with no regrets. “I know it is coming, and I don’t fear
    it.” (Ebert 6). 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 everyday was his last.
    He did not even know if life is worth living. In his soliloquy he asked “To be or not to
    be?” (Shakespeare III. ii. 1) 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 can not put a price tag
    on anyones 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 in 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 everyday. 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 do 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, live. Live everyday like it was
    your last.
