Farewell to Steve Jobs, the Man Who Changed the World
The outpouring of sadness and loss that people from all walks of life are feeling today is because we have lost the true visionary of our time. The reaction by the public today will be more widespread and more heartfelt than has ever been experienced. The volume of Facebook posts and Tweets about this loss will be record breaking. If you follow the twitter hashtag #iSad the tweets are so frequent fly by faster than you could possibly read them.
Why? Because this was a man who changed the world we live in more than any world leader ever has. This was a man who took innovation and passion and created a need that previously didn't exist and turned it into something that has changed the way we live as consumers and how we work as professionals. I believe the true impact of his vision has yet to be realized and his legacy will only grow over the years.
He was truly unique and universally appreciated. Do you think this type of outpouring of loss will come when Bill Gates or Larry Ellison join him on the other side? No because Steve Jobs created something that has touched the lives of all of us like no other business leader has ever done and he was able to do it several times over the years.
Each one of us has a debt of gratitude to Steve Jobs and every post and every tweet we see today will only reinforce the impact this one man has had on the world.
RIP Steve, and thank you.
