> Om didn’t sell suitcases for long. But I’ll bet while he did, he was pretty fucking good at it. He didn’t wait for his future to arrive. He made it happen. Careers — hell, our entire lives — are like those suitcases. They don’t sell themselves.

This was a lovely eulogy for Om by John. Om embodied the virtues that I hold myself to - be kind, be helpful and don't be shy of your opinions. Om's untimely death is a reminder to live your life. We don't know what life has in store for us - and I certainly don't want to leave this world, thinking that if only I'd done X.
