- Yesterday was a sad day for me. One of my idol Steve Jobs left us because of cancer.I started to become his real fan a few years ago when he introduced iphone that created a big "huh-hah" in the market.
- It is clear that Steve is real genius. A genius for all. He's "app" in iphone & ipad was simple and easy to use. Even my parents (who were not so savvy with computers) and my daughter can use the products. Looking at how he build the brand is also quite interesting. His philosophy is simple, "Cheap Things are not good and Good Thing are not Cheap.
- I also found his Commencements speech in 2005 at Stanford University in "Youtube" and I simply think that this speech is very-very good in providing a clear example on how graduates can do after their Uni years. He stressed 3 main story which is connecting the dots, love and loss and life and death.
- According to him, connecting the dots is like you are ready are to accept your life destiny. He said " You have to trust in something, be it guts, destiny, life, karma, whatever". For me as Muslim, we had already installed it into us from the moment we know how to pray.
- He added that love and loss also played a big part in his success. He said that "I was a very public failure and i even thinking of leaving the valley, but something began slowly began to dawn on me, i still love what i do". I tend to agree to this as to be successful, you need to do extra ordinary things and extraordinary thing doesn't come easy.
- The other story he told was about life and death. He said " Remembering that you are going to die is the best way i know to avoid the trap of thinking that you have something to lose". He is absolutely right. That is why in Islam we were told that life is temporary and there is a life in hereafter.
- For me Steve Jobs deserved to be respected for his achievements. Plus, his philosophy is also note worthy. Rest in peace dear friend. May god have mercy on you soul.
