Steve Jobs sadly passed away one year ago today, October 5th 2011. Whether or not you liked Steve Jobs or whether or not you like Apple, you can’t say that his impact on the world of technology wasn’t huge. Apple has placed a video tribute to Steve Jobs on it’s website along with a short letter from Tim Cook, the current CEO of Apple.
I would like to take the time today to share a short story with you about how Steve Jobs has inspired me personally.
The Life of Steve Jobs is a truly inspiring story, one that when revisited today left me feeling just the way it did one year ago, well, one year ago and a day. Why do I add a day? Well, a funny thing happened last year and I thought it would be interesting to share with you all today.
A little over a year ago I was feeling defeated, and frustrated with what I was studying, I was uncertain about what the future would hold, I began to look for an inspirational quote or speech to lift my spirits. While searching the web for a very brief period of time, I stumbled upon Steve Jobs’ 2005 Stanford Commencement Address. It really captivated me and it was exactly what I needed to hear. As funny as it seems, the speech seemed to have found me, I laughed a bit because it was amazing that I had never came across this speech before, except for when I needed hear it, I guess it’s purpose was well served. What is unfortunate is the very next day, Steve Jobs passed away and this further solidified my inspirations. If you watch the speech you will see how powerful these two events being tied together like this could bring you pause.
Steve contributed greatly to the world of technology and his life has inspired millions. I would implore you to try and find something or someone who inspires you, then get out there and be innovative and create and mold the world around you.
