Steve Jobs... He died a billionaire at the age of 56. And his last words make us think about the meaning of life... - After all, wealth is just a life experience I've had the opportunity to know.

Whether we wear $30 or $300 purses, the same amount of money can fit in both.. Whether we drive a $150,000 car or a $30,000 car, the journey and the distance are the same, we always reach the same destination …. #HIMSS23
