A for Apple = Steve Jobs

If a toddler knows that A stands for Apple, anyone who is remotely interested in technology would know that Apple stands for Steve Jobs. I was upset to hear the news of the demise of Steve Jobs, an entrepreneur who I have always admired. Jobs was brilliant,dynamic and passionate. Unlike all of us, though he started off with his two friends to manually make a computer, he skipped his studies and in his youthful days left everything behind and venture out into the unknown, traveling to as far as India, possibly to find peace. Find peace, he certainly did not. But he realised probably that he was wasting his time and returned. Thank God for that. His brilliance was in his ability to take off from where he left off, before he set out for travel. His ability to build Apple into an icon by the sheer force of his inventions and dynamism cannot be extolled enough. His fight with John Sculley, who had brought into the company and who eventually threw him out of Apple remains one of the most controversial stories. His passion to build his Company was established when the Board recalled him. He has built the Company to be the most recognisable and talked about brand in today's dynamic world of ever-changing technology. His commitment to his company was all the more appreciated when he resigned from his position when his health was failing (unlike our evergreen politicians) . There are fewer people in the world today like him. You will be missed sorely, Steve, not only in Apple but in the world which are bereft of leaders like you. God Bless.
