Arn Tellem – recently hired by the Pistons – wrote a letter in Sports Illustrated to explain his decision. A couple excerpts:
Ten years ago Steve Jobs gave a commencement address in which he advised young graduates to continually ask themselves: “If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?” Whenever the answer is “no” for too many days in a row, he counseled them to summon the courage to follow their hearts and intuition.
Those thoughts have stuck with me ever since.
