It was a hard to get out of bed this morning. I don’t normally make a habit of talking about my day job on this blog. Today, I will make an exception. For four years I have worked for a company that I love. Before starting here the only Apple product I ever owned was an iPod. Now, things are different. These products have changed my life, and the leader of this company has changed the way that I think. An inspiration to us all, Steve was a visionary, and will sorely be missed. One thing that people forget is that behind this corporate figure is a husband and a father, who won’t get to see his children get married, or kiss his wife goodnight ever again.
“Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life.
Don’t be trapped by dogma – which is living with the results of other people’s thinking.
Don’t let the noise of other’s opinions drown out your own inner voice.
And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition.
They somehow already know what you truly want to become.
Everything else is secondary.”
Krista,
Thank you for posting Steve’s profoundly inspiring words. My sympathies go to his family, his Apple family, and friends. My heart ached when I saw this private man having to go through the most personal of journeys in such a public way. Peace be with him.
