I suggest you see Steve Jobs' Stanford Commencement Speech (2005): link to this video . The part which conveys this idea beautifully is this: "Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life.

He talks about typography in it. Steve Jobs Stanford Commencement Speech 2005 link to this video
