I'm really sad about Steve Jobs' passing. The first time I ever used a computer was in kindergarten. It was a gigantic Macintosh and I was fascinated. And now, like so many others, I can't imagine life without my trusty iPhone. Mr. Jobs was a visionary - he saw past what was in front of him and imagined things in a different way. In a world where everyone seems to work against themselves by constantly making things more complicated and convoluted, he worked to make things more simple and clear.
Some quotes from the man himself:
"That's been one of my mantras -- focus and simplicity. Simple can be harder than complex: You have to work hard to get your thinking clean to make it simple. But it's worth it in the end because once you get there, you can move mountains."
“Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking. Don’t settle. As with all matters of the heart, you’ll know when you find it. And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking until you find it. Don’t settle.”
"You can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something -- your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life."
