Hello everyone.
Happy Friday!
I'm sure world are surprise with the lost of Steve Jobs - Apple inventor, mouse, the iMac, CGI movie through PIXAR, iPod, iPad etc's due to the cancer that he've been keeping for some time.
I really don't bother whose this Steve Jobs actually till I've heard bout his dead yesterday. All I know is he invented this Apple product, and famously iPhone that has give a new trendsetting of gadget and technologies era through the modern world.
Thus, after his losing yesterday I decided to check on what is so-so amazing about him. And heaven yeah, I found that he is an ordinary man which live,think and work extraordinary that has lead to the technical genius and became the Sultan of Silicon Valley.
Shorted say, here is the link of a text speech of him on 2005 that I have found so inspiring and pretty cool.

What I like the most is this phase;
My third story is about death.
When I was 17, I read a quote that went something like: "If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you'll most certainly be right." It made an impression on me, and since then, for the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: "If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?" And whenever the answer has been "No" for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something.
Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything — all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure – these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.

and here is another phase of him talking about death. He apparently knows that he has the cancer.
This was the closest I've been to facing death, and I hope it's the closest I get for a few more decades. Having lived through it, I can now say this to you with a bit more certainty than when death was a useful but purely intellectual concept:
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 is 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 is quite true.
Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.

and after a few research on him, now I realize that apart than a great entrepreneur, Steve Jobs also is a great guy with a great thinking. Rest in Peace to him!
