Yesterday the world lost Steve Jobs.
My heart goes out to his family, friends and colleagues who are, no doubt, feeling his loss the most. Steve Jobs was no ordinary man and in death, as in life, his legacy is felt by thousands.
Technology has become so prevalent in our lives these days - we argue Apple vs. Microsoft, iPhone vs. Droid, laptop vs. desktop - yet we rarely stop to remember the minds behind the machines. For me, the imagination and determination of Mr. Jobs directly affects my life every single day. I create marketing pieces on my Apple laptop, I communicate with an iPhone, I stay motivated by my giant music collection in iTunes. Quite frankly, many of his ideas are what made it possible for me to start my own company!
While for some it may be about these products alone, I choose to recognize the innovation behind them. Innovation that changed the world. Steve believed our purpose in life is to "leave a dent" in the universe - he certainly accomplished that one! I'll go ahead and take that as a challenge to make my own dent and challenge you to join me by making yours.
Thank you Steve Jobs... you will be missed.
