1 'Remembering you are going to die is the best way i know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose'

should it not be...

2 "Remembering that i am going to die is the best way i know, to avoid the trap of thinking i have something to lose"

Like if you say the first sentence to someone is it not like saying to them
'Everyday i remember you're going to die, so therefore you have nothing to lose. You will be dead soon'

how is it so confusing. its just the way he(STEVE JOBS) said it. He uses both 'YOU and I' in the sentance which conflict. So then i wrote it how i think it should sound and then changed it into slang english for the lay person like myself that would pick it up totally different to everyone else.

IM S & A'd by you boardies.

i think the idea of a quoth is it isint supposed to be grammatically correct i suppose its the thaught that counts, for me 'remembering' can be used in any way ,...I, you, he/she, it they, so the way its said moving from you to I is fine with me

Necro-grammar-Nazi.

There ain't no app for you, OP.
