Steve Jobs
06th October 2011
We all take for granted those 'bits of kit', those 'things' that make our life so much easier. The mobile phone, the car, the TV, the toaster. Rarely do we stop and think about how much easier our life has become through using any of the millions of devices available to us. Even more rarely do we think too much about how they have opened up our world, not just physically, but through communication and the ability to share ideas and show the world what we as individuals are capable of.
I got my first Mac several years ago and was instantly amazed at how much easier it was to use than Windows. More importantly I saw how the iMac opened up all new possibilities to me as a creative person. Later, with integration that is the hallmark of Apple, I was able to link with my MacBook and my iPhone and business became much more rounded.
It was with great sadness I heard of the death of Steve Jobs. He was an inspiration not only to my generation, but I am sure will be to many to come. His apparent casual approach to development and to business I found refreshing at a time when suited corporate was the norm. He was a perfect exampe of how following your dream and your passion will make you successful when teamed up with hard work and determination. His vision was infectious.
About six years ago he gave a speech to the graduates of Stanford University in America. Please take the time to watch it by following the link below and remember, "Stay hungry. Stay Foolish".
