Steve Jobs' last words He died a billionaire at 56yrs of Pancreatic Cancer and here are his last words on the sick bed:

"I reached the pinnacle of success in the business world. In others’ eyes my life is an epitome of success.

However, aside from work, I have little joy. In the end, wealth is only a fact of life that I am accustomed to.

At this moment, lying on the sick bed and recalling my whole life, I realize that all the recognition and

wealth that I took so much pride in, have paled and become meaningless in the face of impending death.

George's Personal Policies - More Joy, Less Annoy

Inspired by the books:

• The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck: A Counterintuitive Approach to Living a Good Life and
• The Life-Changing Magic of Not Giving a F**k.
• Essentialism: The Disciplined Pursuit of Less

I recognise that some of these may come across harsh - my intentions are good - it is all about boundaries. "Good Fences Make Good Neighbors" - Anon

• Safe & Secure: secure building, gated neighborhood, concierge, security, etc. This is our primary concern. We stayed in a basement flat (Airbnb) in Holland Park area over Christmas with a door directly to the street we did not feel very safe. No basement flats.
• Natural Light & bright: Coming from a similar gray and rainy northern climate in Portland, Oregon we are familiar with SAD, etc. No basement flats please.
• Modern & Nice: Not exactly sure how to define this, but we know it when we see it. A nice kitchen and common area (family room in US-speak) are important. We aren’t expecting a 6-star flat, but no dumps either, we aren’t fresh out of college J. At home we spend most of our time together in the kitchen, so that is probably our most important room.
• 3 bedrooms: We are a family of 5. Cheri and I need a room, our youngest son Jackson is 16 years old and will be spending the year with us in 11th grade. He will need a bedroom. Our older kids are in university but will be staying with us over
