Woke up to a very sad news today. Steve is dead. Just like I can’t imagine a world without an iPod, iPhone and the iPad, I can’t imagine a world without Steve Jobs. No one can replace him. My condolences to the loved ones, friends and the entire Apple community. Steve was an inspiration that pushed so many people to pursue the impossible, think different, to always try something new. This is truly the end of an era, an era of wondrous innovations, customer satisfaction through beautiful products, but hopefully, not the Apple magic.
Long live Steve Jobs. Without you, the tech world, hell, the whole world will never be the same. You will continue to live on in our hearts, our minds, an inspiration to the current and future generations.
No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don't want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life's change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new. Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic, but it is quite true.
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 others' 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.
