I always think Apple is such a snob. A sleek white creature who doesn’t bother to look under, a real smart ass snob. That’s why I’m not an Apple user, and I hardly admired Steve Jobs. I just know him from the 9gag meme and maybe his iconic speech about connecting the dots. Some other time I just thanking him for buying PIXAR, his trust have made PIXAR to go this far.
Steven Paul Jobs born in 1955, and died in 2011. Pancreatic cancer. But in fact, people passed away everyday. And Jobs is just like any other. As I quoted one of his memorable line, death is inevitable.
Death is very likely the best invention of life,” he said in the speech. “All pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure, these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important.

Millions of mentions and condolences spreads, and Jobs leaving his unlimited passion to change the world, passing it to the new generation. For this, we should really take a bow to him.
And unlike him, I’m not a visionary creative genius but I share the same intention. Jobs has done his part in this world, it is time for us to take the others. Maybe not in a smart ass snob way, maybe in the other part of ground. Remembering Jobs is like remembering reasons, remembering parts. Remembering what is truly important when you live the day.
