Foreword: Today, I, like the rest of the world, woke up to the sad news that Steve Jobs had passed away. It always takes you by surprise when you feel deep sadness at the passing of someone you didn’t know personally.
The thing is, for all of its millions of people, the world can feel very empty and lonely at times. We feel connections with people who impact our lives in significant ways no matter how little they know us (or we truly know them).
I nearly pulled my original iDevBlogADay post, instead writing a simple thank you post to Steve Jobs. The thing is thousands of people, much more eloquent than me, have said it better.
Wired’s post sums up the whole thing in a post that both mourns his passing and celebrates his life – Steve Jobs, 1955 – 2011.
Panic changed their homepage to reflect their feelings. Very touching.
@RobLoBue wrote a truly personal note in his post “A life without Steve Jobs“.
To wrap this up, and to explain why I’m still posting my original post below, in Mr Jobs’ own words “Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life… have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become.”
