He changed our lives.
He led a technological revolution.
He demanded perfection.
Several months ago, we lost this genius, like the world lost a John Lennon.
His name is Steve Jobs.
In this blogger, we are going to look at Steve Jobs’ legacy in terms of his experiences and his ideas—ideas that will spur innovation, that will change the world.
In 1972, Jobs headed to Oregon, where he attended a small liberal arts college. He turned on, turned in and dropped out. He listened to the Beatles, and Bob Dylan, took LSD and went to India. When he returned to Silicon Valley in 1975, it was the dawn of the computer age, and Steve Jobs had a vision. He had an instinct that computer technology can be the source of transcendence, and that it can transform our lives. So he invented the Apple 1, the first personal computer, and formed Apple Computer Inc, which went public in 1980. At that moment, Steve Jobs is suddenly worth 200 million dollars.
However, things always happen. In 1985, he was sacked by his own company. He went through a real period of personal crisis, and that is a period of time which is hard to imagine today. At that time, he was more or less a laughing stock of Silicon Valley. After he left Apple Company, he sold all of his Apple shares but one. He still had millions of dollars, burning a hole in his pocket. Anyone but Jobs might have retired, and that is why Jobs is different.
Then he used his money bought the Pixar, and produced the “Toy Story” series which shocked the world greatly. In the same way, he made many successful computer animated films, which helped him re-raise his capital at a fast pace. With this money, he came back to Apple. It was the big comeback Jobs had been waiting for, and it cost him 10 years.
As Jobs began his second tour at Apple in the late 90s, he combined his two lifelong passions—music and computers to create a revolutionary new gadget—the Ipod. It was so convenient to have all of your music in your pocket. While Apple was flying high, the rhythm of Jobs’ own life was interrupted.
In July of 2004, he underwent a surgery to remote a malignant tumor in his pancreas. The man who seemed to have a solution for almost everything is increasingly haunted by this severe disease. Realizing he had a finite number of days on the earth, he accelerated his timetable.
On January 9th, 2007, the bomb dropped—the Iphone came on the market and totally blew the market away. Then the Ipad, which also made a historical success in IT markets. In fact, his creative output over the last 5 or 6 years was the greatest. After fighting against the disease for seven years, Steve Jobs left us, peacefully.
Let me end this passage in this way:
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, and don’t settle. As with all matters of the heart, you will know when you find it. Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life.
Thanks, Jobs.
