I was stunned this morning when I saw the news about Steve Jobs. I said, "Oh my God, he's gone!". I remember I used to tell his life story to my students since I handled computer science and information technology classes before. Do you know the movie entitled "Pirates of the Silicon Valley"? They loved it and learned how these two magnates met, Steve Jobs and Bill Gates.
In 2004, he was diagnosed with a cancerous tumor in his pancreas and was successfully removed in July 2004. In 2009, Jobs underwent a liver transplant after having some health issues. After two years, he resigned from his role as the CEO of Apple, Inc. in August 24, 2011. He said the he could no longer perform his duties.
Here is what he said on his speech, "How to live before you die.":
You've got to find what you love. And that is as true for your work as it is for your lovers. Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it. And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking until you find it. Don't settle. ~ Steve Jobs
He was right, you should do what you love and always strive for something better. I'll keep that in mind.
Jobs has three kids and he died peacefully today surrounded by his loving family.
