Last Words / Letzte Worte / Últimas Palavras / Ultimas Palabras

Last words or final words are a person’s final articulated words, stated prior to death or as death approaches.

Death tends to bring out what is really important and last words are a character’s expression of who they really are.

Whether they are going out with a bang, saying heartfelt farewell, facing death bravely, or expressing no regrets, it makes for great drama.

The last words of Steve Jobs

I have come to the pinnacle of success in business.

In the eyes of others, my life has been the symbol of success.

However, apart from work, I have little joy. Finally, my wealth is simply a fact to which I am accustomed.

At this time, lying on the hospital bed and remembering all my life, I realize that all the accolades and riches of which I was once so proud, have become insignificant with my imminent death.

In the dark, when I look at green lights, of the equipment for artificial respiration and feel the buzz of their mechanical sounds, I can feel the breath of my approaching death looming over me.

Only now do I understand that once you accumulate enough money for the rest of your life, you have to pursue objectives that are not related to wealth.

It should be something more important:

For example, stories of love, art, dreams of my childhood.

No, stop pursuing wealth, it can only make a person into a twisted being, just like me.
