“Death is very likely the single best invention of life,”

 

addressed by the late Apple cofounder Steve Jobs. Understanding that life is short and unpredictable would prompt one to cherish more the people and things around and endeavor to live a satisfying life. Life Journey Centre enables you to experience the taste of “aging” and “death” at your young age, inspiring you to live with no regrets in your one-way life journey.
