Karachi (HRNW): A lengthy message attributed to renowned businessman and Apple co-founder Steve Jobs has been widely circulated on social media. The message reflects on wealth, illness, death, relationships and the meaning of happiness.
The viral text suggests that, toward the end of life, a person realizes that fame and wealth become meaningless in the face of death. It emphasizes health, family, human relationships, helping others and having a meaningful purpose in life rather than pursuing material possessions.
However, there is no reliable evidence that this lengthy message represents Steve Jobs’ actual final words. It should therefore not be presented as an authentic statement by Jobs.
Steve Jobs died on October 5, 2011, at the age of 56, from complications related to a pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor. While Jobs did speak publicly about life, death and mortality during his lifetime, the lengthy message circulating online has not been reliably authenticated as his final statement.
Key Messages in the Viral Text
The message encourages people to:
- Teach children to pursue happiness rather than simply becoming wealthy.
- Prioritize health and proper nutrition.
- Use wealth to improve life and help others rather than making money the purpose of life.
- Value family members and close relationships.
- Recognize that genuine happiness comes from meaningful relationships and making others happy.
- Understand that time, health and life are more valuable than material possessions.
Human Rights and Human Values Perspective
HRNW notes that the central message of the text highlights the importance of human life, health, dignity, family and compassion. Material resources can make life more comfortable, but health, love, meaningful relationships and time cannot simply be purchased with money.
The message also serves as a reminder that protecting human dignity, supporting vulnerable and sick people, and respecting the fundamental rights of others are collective responsibilities.
