When I was 17, I read a quote that went something like: "If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you'll most certainly be right." It made an impression on me, and since then, for the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: "If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?" And whenever the answer has been "No" for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something.

(Side-note: Unless I can help myself, this will be the only occasion this year that "Apple" is mentioned here, along with "podcast", "ipod", "web 2.0", "ajax" and all other "let's mention it 'cos it's trendy and makes us sound all cool and stuff" buzzwords that drive me completely insane.)
