Three Stories.

I’m not sure what it is about Steve Jobs work and his way too early death that moves me so. A lot of great inventors and businessmen have died during my time and none have made me sad the way the death of Jobs does. It’s interesting. I doubt many in the public shed a tear when Henry Ford or Thomas Edison died so I’ve wondered what it is about Steve Jobs that is different. I think it’s two things – first and foremost he wanted to make beautiful things that work beautifully. He was an artist first who had a vision that few others could see. Second is that he wasn’t done – his time was cut short. Ford and Edison died old rich guys that were mostly trying to get richer off what they’d done decades before. Jobs was concerned with what he was coming next – and now we will never know. That is sad. Steve Jobs made so many lives more enjoyable – including mine.

I first saw this YouTube clip when Sonia posted it on my Facebook wall and I wanted to be sure I did my very small part in sharing it with the greater world.

Thanks for reading and have a great weekend.
