Not my life but the dude who compiled the list. So far I've read the Jobs one (pretty alright), the depression one (very good), the Steve don't die with your music still inside of you one (very good), and the blogging one (pretty good, useful for me as I am about to start my own).

Post comments and links to other web things that have changed your life for the better.

Here's one for me, Haruki Murakami's 100% perfect girl short story. It's such a beautiful and well told story that reminds me of my own life very much.

That story reminds me of my favorite poem, by Thomas Hardy:
A Thunderstorm in Town

She wore a 'terra-cotta' dress,
And we stayed, because of the pelting storm,
Within the hansom's dry recess,
Though the horse had stopped; yea, motionless
We sat on, snug and warm.

Then the downpour ceased, to my sharp sad pain,
And the glass that had screened our forms before
Flew up, and out she sprang to her door:
I should have kissed her if the rain
Had lasted a minute more.

The thought of "Oh, I would have done X if I only had more time" seems universal and sad at the same time.

#6 - Steve Pavlina’s 10 Reasons You Should Never Get a Job

This one's very good. Must read for everyone who is in college/uni and thinks you're 'supposed' to get a job after graduating. Thanks for the link Popinjay.
