GOODBYE.... STEVE JOBS (Stephen Paul Jobs 1955-2011)

Aug. 24, the world was surprised by Steve Jobs’ quitting from APPLE. In his speech, he said “Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma. Have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. They already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.”  Referring to his genius invention, “Design is not just what it looks like and feels like. Design is how it works. Be a yardstick of quality. Some people aren’t used to an environment where excellence is expected. You have to trust in something -- your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down..."

Oct. 5, less than 2 months after his untimely resignation, he passed away. Apple announces his death without giving specific cause. But some news channel says, he's been treated of a rare form of pancreatic cancer. It could be recalled that 2008 speculations spread that he was suffering from an unidentified illness causing his severe weight loss. In 2009, Jobs said he has a treatable hormonal imbalance and announced for a medical leave but stays the Apple's CEO.

--->He had proven to the world that education is the least key to bring on your dreams.
