Steve Jobs

First of all, i did not even know who Steve Jobs was and that he was the founder of Apple until the day of his death. When i heard about it i didn't give it too much thought because i didn't know the guy and wasn't even aware of his achievements. But today, when i came out the train, i took the New York Post and there he was, an article on Steve Jobs. i decided to read it because i truly wanted to know why people cared so much that he died. In the article, it mentioned that he was a college drop out who changed the technology world. “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.” Despite the fact that i did not care about him before, now i see this guy as pure inspiration. To think that he could've come up with such original ideas such as the ipod, iphone, ipad, macs etc, its incredible. He changed society because he wasn't afraid to live, we shouldn't be either.
