Tonight after an evening out I came home to check some emails and noticed on my Twitter feed a number of tweets about Steve Jobs. As we all know now, Steve Jobs has passed away leaving many of us saddened.
I simply wanted to share my condolence with his family, friends and those whom knew and worked for the company I admire the most.
For me, Steve Jobs and Apple have been an inspiration. It was a legend that I’ve been able to watch through the growth of my early adult years. A company’s philosophy to “Think Different,” which I have lived with every day since I heard those words.
Barack Obama wrote a few words last night in regards to Steve Job’s passing and re-reading, they hit me hard. Appreciate these words:
“The world has lost a visionary. And there may be no greater tribute to Steve’s success than the fact that much of the world learned of his passing on a device he invented.”
The following are some quotes by Steve that I grabbed off Twitter that I will always live with:
“Have the courage to follow your heart and intuition, they somehow already know what you want to become.”
“Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do.”
“Be a yardstick of quality. Some people aren’t used to an environment where excellence is expected.”
Simply put, I have loved everything Apple stands for, from before I owned a single product and even more since I’ve joined the cult. I’m truly and deeply saddened and will continue to keep is wisdom as part of the way I live my life.
