How would you live your life if you could live forever? Perhaps I've been watching too much science fiction, but it is a question I grapple with. What would you do each day? To me, it would be even more important to spend time learning each day, creating new products, creating new works of intellectual property. Because if you live forever, you want as much stuff up here, or at some point it might be on a computer, in a cloud, or on a server to last you a long time. Now, there's a saying, live each day as if it were your last. There's a certain validity to that. But I also think there's something valuable to living your life as if you could live forever, then you would want to continue learning, continue improving, continue creating, continue figuring out what you can do to contribute to the world.
