He had the opportunity to invest in this thing called the &#8220;internet&#8221; in starting his own business. But the problem was this: If he quit his job and tried starting his internet business (Amazon), he wouldn&#8217;t receive his full bonus. He then thought to himself,<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\n  &#8220;When I&#8217;m 90 years old and on my deathbed, what will I regret <em>not<\/em> attempting\/doing in life?&#8221;\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>He then realized that he would have regretted not taking a risk of starting his internet business and therefore took the risk. And now, we all know how successful Amazon is.<\/p>\n<p>The reason why it is called the &#8216;regret minimization framework&#8217; is because of this:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\n  A better way to live life is to minimize the amounts of regrets you might have <em>before<\/em> you die.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Steve Jobs and cancer<\/h2>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"54001\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/2017\/06\/27\/why-i-have-such-a-big-ego\/memento-mori-2-6\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/memento-mori-2-1-scaled.jpg?fit=3287%2C2014&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"3287,2014\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"memento mori-2\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/memento-mori-2-1-scaled.jpg?fit=800%2C490&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/memento-mori-2-1-800x490.jpg?resize=800%2C490\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"490\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-54001\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/memento-mori-2-1-scaled.jpg?resize=800%2C490&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/memento-mori-2-1-scaled.jpg?resize=768%2C471&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/memento-mori-2-1.jpg?w=2000&amp;ssl=1 2000w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/memento-mori-2-1.jpg?w=3000&amp;ssl=1 3000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Steve Jobs (one of my heroes) in his famous Stanford graduation commencement speech told the audience (I am paraphrasing):<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\n  When I realized I had cancer, it was the best thing ever.

Yet, I still believed in the concept\/notion of following your passion.<\/p>\n<p>And I did that. I started off my freshman year at UCLA studying Biology (listening to my parents, to become a doctor). After 1 quarter I hated it and realized it wasn&#8217;t for me&#8211; and I took a risk, switching my major to something totally different (Sociology). I didn&#8217;t know I was passionate about Sociology (yet), I simply looked at a list of college majors, and I saw &#8220;Sociology&#8221; written on the list and I thought to myself:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\n  &#8220;I like society and people &#8212; I&#8217;m gonna try to study that!&#8221;\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>How following my passion empowered me!<\/h2>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"47776\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/2017\/04\/20\/advice-to-my-12-year-old-self\/memento-mori-4\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/memento-mori.jpg?fit=3287%2C2014&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"3287,2014\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"memento mori eric kim\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/memento-mori.jpg?fit=800%2C490&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/memento-mori-800x490.jpg?resize=800%2C490\" alt=\"memento mori eric kim\" width=\"800\" height=\"490\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-47776\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/memento-mori.jpg?resize=800%2C490&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/memento-mori.jpg?resize=768%2C471&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/memento-mori.jpg?resize=180%2C110&amp;ssl=1 180w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/memento-mori.jpg?resize=750%2C460&amp;ssl=1 750w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/memento-mori.jpg?w=2000&amp;ssl=1 2000w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/memento-mori.jpg?w=3000&amp;ssl=1 3000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>When I started to study sociology, I (for the first time in my life) actually looked forward to going to class! I started to learn for the sake of learning! It was so interesting, fun, and empowering to study sociology&#8211; to question my pre-conceived notions about society\/life, to challenge Korean-Confucian and American notions of &#8216;success&#8217;, and to gain the mental tools to better understand individuals, communities, and society as a whole.<\/p>\n<p>I was therefore very passionate about my Sociology major, and I pursued it with full zeal in college. Everyone told me that I was dumb, because I &#8220;wouldn&#8217;t be able to get any other job than being a teacher or social worker.&#8221; I ignored them &#8212; I knew I was learning something valuable, that I could apply in different spheres. And in the long-term, studying Sociology was the best thing ever, because it taught me how individuals\/communities think, which helped me become a successful internet\/photography\/online entrepreneur.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>You don&#8217;t really &#8220;need&#8221; much to live.<\/h2>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"51750\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/2017\/06\/01\/creators-shall-inherit-the-earth\/memento-mori-eric-kim-photography-death-and-life5\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/MEMENTO-MORI-ERIC-KIM-PHOTOGRAPHY-DEATH-AND-LIFE5.jpg?fit=3517%2C2331&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"3517,2331\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;PerfectionV700&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1372361052&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"MEMENTO MORI &amp;#8211; ERIC KIM PHOTOGRAPHY &amp;#8211; DEATH AND LIFE5\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/MEMENTO-MORI-ERIC-KIM-PHOTOGRAPHY-DEATH-AND-LIFE5.jpg?fit=800%2C530&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/MEMENTO-MORI-ERIC-KIM-PHOTOGRAPHY-DEATH-AND-LIFE5-800x530.jpg?resize=800%2C530\" alt=\"trees\" width=\"800\" height=\"530\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-51750\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/MEMENTO-MORI-ERIC-KIM-PHOTOGRAPHY-DEATH-AND-LIFE5.jpg?resize=800%2C530&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/MEMENTO-MORI-ERIC-KIM-PHOTOGRAPHY-DEATH-AND-LIFE5.jpg?resize=768%2C509&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/MEMENTO-MORI-ERIC-KIM-PHOTOGRAPHY-DEATH-AND-LIFE5.jpg?resize=180%2C119&amp;ssl=1 180w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/MEMENTO-MORI-ERIC-KIM-PHOTOGRAPHY-DEATH-AND-LIFE5.jpg?w=2000&amp;ssl=1 2000w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/MEMENTO-MORI-ERIC-KIM-PHOTOGRAPHY-DEATH-AND-LIFE5.jpg?w=3000&amp;ssl=1 3000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Of course we must all make a living.

Or I can die from a car running a red light and hitting me (a good friend of mine died in his teens, from a drunken truck driver who ran a red light).<\/p>\n<p>Anyways, I want to live my life to the fullest. I want to achieve my fullest potential, knowing that I am staring death straight in the face. Because I know that no matter what, I will die. And even if we had the technology that gave us immortal life, I would say no. Why? It is my duty to die, to make room for new individuals and generations. And that is what philosophically makes life so beautiful &#8212; death is the ultimate clearing agent, which makes room for the new.
