It was so sad to wake up this morning and learn of Steve Job's death. He was a true visionary who inspired so many people. As typical of Apple, not much is being said to the press, but all of the signature lit Apple Logos on all of our stores around the world have been dimmed today in honour of Steve. I work above one of our flagship stores in London in Covent Garden, and the press has been camped out all day and people have been creating a makeshift memorial with flowers. It is a pretty cool sight. I will try and get some pictures if I can. I certainly can't do him any justice with my words, so I thought that I would include some great quotes that I have seen today and from Steve himself. If you have never seen his commencement address from Stanford a few years ago, you can find it on YouTube, and I highly recommend it.
“Three Apples changed the world: The first seduced Eve, The second fell on Newton, And the third one was offered to the world half bitten by him. Steve Jobs"
“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 other’s 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.”
"We don’t get a chance to do that many things, and every one should be really excellent. Because this is our life. Life is brief, and then you die, you know? And we’ve all chosen to do this with our lives. So it bet ter be damn good.It better be worth it."
