To look back at Steve Jobs’ life is to look at the life of an adopted kid, who did not finish college, who started a company from his garage, and later, was kicked out of the company he built. Entrepreneurs will remember Steve Jobs as the man with a great comeback. When Steve Jobs left Apple Computer after a power struggle, he built NeXT, a software company, that was later acquired for $430 million by Apple Computer. Jobs then returned to Apple.
In 2003, Steve Jobs was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, but during this difficult time, he turned Apple into the valuable company it is today, with revolutionary products such as the iPod, iPhone and iPad.
Steve Jobs will also be remembered by children for buying Pixar, the animation studio that brought us “Toy Story,” “Monsters Inc.” and “Finding Nemo.”
His passing is not only a loss to those who buy his products, but also “to the misfits, the rebels and the trouble makers,” for whom he had a message: “People who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.”
Steve Jobs has shown us that a hero does not always come out of war. A hero can be someone who changes how we communicate. Rest in peace, Steve. And thank you.
