Steve Jobs (February 24, 1955 – October 5, 2011)
Today the world lost a brilliant mind and an astounding innovator with the passing of Steve Jobs; a man whose vision and creativity enhanced the lives of millions, brought down by the great equalizer of cancer. After we learned of his passing, my partner Greg Tull sent me a few lines from a commencement speech at Stanford University Steve Jobs delivered in June 2005, almost a year after he was diagnosed with cancer, “Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose.” What a way to live life fully! Neither failure nor fear could stop him. We should all be that brave in pursuit of our passions, our love of life and our love for each other.
May the greatest one man success story of our times rest in peace. He will be missed.
