SkyChin & Passion

Apple fanboys have been shaken badly in the past 2 days,from the unveil of iPhone 4s to the news of Jobs's death.The world saddens over his death,the grief is indistinctly significant,it propels you to think of him when his inventions have already been the beings in our life.

"If Jobs were not so talented, if he were not so visionary, if he were not so canny in determining where others had failed in producing great products and what was necessary to succeed, his pushiness and imperiousness would have made him a figure of mockery.

But Steve Jobs was that talented, visionary and determined. He combined an innate understanding of technology with an almost supernatural sense of what customers would respond to. His conviction that design should be central to his products not only produced successes in the marketplace but elevated design in general, not just in consumer electronics but everything that aspires to the high end." Steven Levy.

I spent the afternoon reading about his chronicles,I wanted to know more about him more than just his name and the things he invented.It had taken this long for me to realize how his life really was,remembering I was once vindictive for Creative Zen better over the iPod,disregarding whatever things that came from Apple,insinuating that their things are poorly built without justification until I came to fall in love in the iPad 2.

He was the only one who came to describe computer to the word 'Beautiful'.To jobs, Apple is a blend of engineering and liberal arts.“If you view computer designers as artists, they’re really into more of an art form that can be mass-produced, like records, or like prints, than they are into fine arts,” said Jobs in 1983.

Jobs had once led a tragic life before he became a hit.He was an adopted child when he was little,being adopted by a poor family,Jobs even quit his study in college at the reason of study being too expensive for his parents.They spent their life-earned money just to get him to college.The key reason was because Jobs thought studying in the college was a waste because he hadn't liked studying for things he hadn't liked,instead he quit college and led the path no one would feel promising about.

He and his partner found Apple in a car garage,Jobs aim was to create a 10 billion company without losing its integrity.Gradually Jobs and his partner had their vision diverged and he was then kicked out from the company.At the brink of his personal crisis,Jobs held tight to his faith and then founded NeXT and Pixar.

Years later,when Apple acquired NexT as their renaissance of innovation,Jobs then got himself back into the Apple family.

Till the year 2004,Jobs found himself diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.The doctor even asked Jobs to settle his life affairs before things got too late.But fortunately,Jobs made a narrow escape from death and came alive again from undergoing an operation.

He then came to comprehend life in a rather in-depth way,to the extent of scary in a speech he gave for the Standford commencement address in 2005.“No one wants to die, even people who want to go to Heaven don’t want to die to get there,” he told the Stanford graduates. “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’s life’s change agent; it clears out the old to make way for the new … Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life.”

Jobs death is immeasurably sad to the world,the trace Jobs had left behind to the world would take a distant future to be placed into oblivion.I'm here to dedicate my sincerest condolence to him and his family,will take good care of my iPad 2 at any cost :) May Jobs rest in peace.
