Steve Jobs 1955-2011
Who are we to comment on the passing of one of our industry’s giants?
Others will produce better comments, so we’re going to let Steve speak for himself in one of our favourite quotes of his, coupled to some ancient wisdom.
’No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don’t want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because death is very likely the single best invention of life. It’s life’s change agent; it clears out the old to make way for the new. Right now, the new is you. But someday, not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic, but it’s quite true. Your time is limited.’ - Steve Jobs 2003.
And from an older source of wisdom:
’Teach us to number our days aright, that we may gain a heart of wisdom’, and,
’Behold, I make all things new’
