Steve Jobs Finally Quits
Steve Jobs — the image was hosted by the publisher and was not captured.I use an Apple Mac Computer; I use an Apple iPhone, both of which have almost become integral parts of my body and mind. As I type this, my fingers shiver thinking of the man who created it all and who is no more now. In the year 2000, Taxindiaonline was stated in a small bedroom with an Apple computer and an incredibly optimistic person as our only assets. It was an Apple in Eden Garden that started Man on his adventure; it was an apple that made Newton and it was through Apple that Steve Jobs put a dent in the Universe. Apple invented and others copied and made money.
This college-dropout who walked seven miles every Sunday to get one good meal a week at the Hare Krishna temple, built one of the richest companies in the world and got fired from the Company he created! He took a calligraphy course in college and that helped in creating proportionally spaced fonts for the Mac, which is perhaps the greatest achievement in computers and as Windows just copied Mac, computers might not have had the wonderful typography that they do, but for the calligraphy that Steve jobs learnt in college.
He said, "Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is 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."
Three years ago, in a presentation he said, “the reports of my death are greatly exaggerated”. It is now a fact – a sad fact.
He was a leader who fought for the best, not for the most.
"We don't think that televisions and personal computers are going to merge. We think basically you watch television to turn your brain off, and you work on your computer when you want to turn your brain on." – Steve Jobs
