Came to know about his death tru the posting on FB yesterday
It is really saddening as we lost the visionary
who invented gadgets that changed everyone's life
Looking back at his history, He too suffered a lot
before becoming famous and rich
He slept on the floor in his friend's room,
He exchanged cola bottles in return for meals
He walks 7 miles to a temple for a good meal once a week,
He got fired from the company he founded
He was rejected and yet,
He said it was the best thing ever happened to him ..
The speech He gave at the Stanford graduation was truly inspiring
I'll quote a part of it here
" 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 "
I first came to know about him during the launch of iPhone
It was the phone everyone is after
then He introduced iPad,
even though market analyst said nobody needed it
but He insisted on launching and prove that He is right
He once said that ppl wont know what they want
until u show it to them
and He proved how true that statement is
He passed away a day after the launching of iPhone 4s.
It seems that He wanted to make sure Apple is in good hands
before He bade farewell.
Rest assured Steve Jobs, Apple will be taken care of
by the talented guys you yourself hand-picked and trained.
After battling cancer for 7 years, and sad to say He lost the battle
but glad that now, He's in a better place with God
R.I.P Steve Jobs ..
You'll be forever remembered
