Today while in class I opened Safari to google something, but when the apple webpage
(my homepage ever since I bought my mac) when I suddenly bumped into a picture of a
round-glasses-wearing man in black and white and a leyend reading:
Steve Jobs
1955 - 2011
Steve Jobs was truly a visionaire.
He not only revolutionized communication, but changed life as we knew it.
About three years ago when I was about to graduate from high school I watched for
the first time this speech he gave in Stanford University back in '05 and I remember
myself watching it in awe, trying to drink in all of the lessons we can learn from him.
And learning what until today is one of my favorite mottos...
"Stay hungry, and stay foolish."
His hunger for learning new things, even unconventional ones pushed him further and further.
Also, knowing that there is nothing to lose and the importance of recognizing opportunity in crisis,
not taking things too seriously, because in the end, life is fleeting
and we will all, someday, pass away.
At least for me, this is one lesson I learned from him and his work.
So thank you, Steve Jobs.
Rest in Peace.
Stay hungry, and stay foolish.
