Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do. - Apple Inc.
I have to admit, I used to hate Steve Jobs. After a thousand 'Jobs Vs. Gates' arguments with my buddies, a million articles about Steve Jobs and his history around the internet which never once talked only about positive side, A Day of 'Pirates of the Silicon Valley' movie which also really didn't portray him half as a so-called nice guy, and almost 3 years into using Apple products, here I am saddened for the loss of a man who millions of us truly admire.
I guess the biggest problem for me in admitting him as a great one, was that Steve Jobs was not a technology geek, he did not know how to code, he doesn't know if the algorithm is optimal, but It took me some time to realize that was actually part of his greatness. I remember not even bothering to see the Apple keynotes when the IT guy in my company downloads it and places it in a network share for many events. And after seeing typical videos on youtube titled "How to present like Steve Jobs", I watched the first keynote, I did complain Apple were exaggerating their products and features at first, But I NEVER missed any Apple event after that. It was only because of Steve Jobs.
RIP Steve Jobs.
We will miss you for the years to come and remember you forever.
