“We don’t get a chance to do that many things, and every one should be really excellent. Because this is our life. Life is brief, and then you die, you know? And we’ve all chosen to do this with our lives. So it better be damn good. It better be worth it.”
Steve Jobs' death is indeed a great loss to the world. The entire world will definitely miss this visionary. Like many geniuses, he left too soon. He was only 56... Nobody expects such a tragic news. It was due to his pancreatic cancer that he had to resign as Apple's CEO last August. However, the last hours of his life was still filled with inspirational moments, which largely fed the mind of his inventors.
Though Bill Gates was the first one to put computer on every desk, but it was Jobs who had dared to put it in every home, and every room. With the passing years, he was also the one to put them in everyone's hand and pocket with the introduction of the iPhone and the iPad. The entire world uses smart phones invented by him. Moreover, he also brought about a great change in which movies (Pixar) are produced and music is sold (iTunes).
It was largely Steve Jobs' contribution that made Apple such a valuable company in the entire world taoday. He was not just a great businessman, a perfectionist but he was also a true philanthropist. His family members, especially his sister claimed that it was his hard work and willingness to succeed, his love to learn along with keen dedication to the family that made him the person he was to this day. Even though he struggled deeply and physically in his last hours, yet his sister claims that “death didn’t happen to Steve, he achieved it.” During his last hours, he was surrounded by his family members, and the words “Oh Wow. Oh Wow. Oh Wow” led to Steve Jobs death.
Many leaders and people around the world have paid their tribute to Steve Jobs. Apple has even dedicated a page to him : Remembering Steve Jobs . Giving the opportunity for people around the world to post messages and share their stories.
"Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of other’s opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary."
Steve Jobs has achieved so many things in a wide variety of fields. He was a truly an inspirational person and is one of the reasons he will be remembered by the world for ever.
