The passing of Steve Jobs

I was behind the wheels this morning listening to the news at 8am when the news broke that Steve Jobs had passed away.

This is the face of Apple webpage today. Undoubtedly it would also grace the lock screen of many iPads, iPhones and iPods.  I believe it is exactly how he would have liked to see himself.

He has left this place better than when he arrived. Along the way he had inspired countless young people. Most important he lived the ultimate comeback story, which must have given many people the hope for their own comeback.

"An insanely great honor to know him", says Bill Gates. How apt.

And I just viewed this once more to remember him and perhaps myself. You take away something different when you view this at different points of your life. Such is the character of great speeches.




And waiting for this book to be available. Coming November 21.
