CMAT 2019 Question Paper
Read the following passage and answer the question that follows.
Steve Jobs was an enigma. He was quirky. I would like to share a few little known facts about the man who pretty much changed the world with one small technological device. Steve Jobs liked to work bare foot (even while in corporate environments and during million dollar negotiations). He was vegan and often went on diets where he would only eat orange things. He was a Zen Buddhist and extensively travelled India during his youth. He was such a perfectionist that there was a period when he had no furniture in his house at all, because he could not decide what to buy. He used to read his favourite book of all time, every single year 'Autobiography of a yogi, by Paramhansa Yogananda. This man was not affraid to be himself. "Remembering that I'll be dead soon, is the most imporatant tool, I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Almost everything ... all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrasment or failure ... these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truely important" Jobs, used to say "Remenbering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason, not to follow your heart. No one wants to die. Even people who wants to go to heaven, do not want to die to get there. And yet, death is the destination, we all share. No one has ever escaped it, and that is how it should be, because death is very likely the single best invention of life. It is life's change agent It clears out the old to make way for the new."
