It is a saddening news that one of the man who changed the world, the genius behind Apple iPhone, iPad and the iPod and even your animated Toy Story has finally come home to met Our Creator. Steve Jobs lost his battle against pancreatic cancer and succumbed to death at the age of 56.
Apart from his great contribution in modernizing the world of computing, his life will always be remembered as an inspiration – he is a classic example of a modern day Cinderella who rose from poverty to his success, undaunted by his situation, he proved to the world that with brain and perseverance comes success.
To you Mr. Steve Jobs, have a safe journey back to Our Almighty God. In His name, you will be humbled and rewarded in His Kingdom.

As a tribute , let me share to you some of my favorite Steve Jobs’ Quotes about LIFE, he has quite a handful but below are my favorites:
On Life
“It’s more fun to be a pirate than to join the navy.” [1982, quoted in Odyssey: Pepsi to Apple, 1987]

“When you’re young, you look at television and think, There’s a conspiracy. The networks have conspired to dumb us down. But when you get a little older, you realize that’s not true. The networks are in business to give people exactly what they want. That’s a far more depressing thought. Conspiracy is optimistic! You can shoot the bastards! We can have a revolution! But the networks are really in business to give people what they want. It’s the truth.” [Wired, February 1996]

“I’m an optimist in the sense that I believe humans are noble and honorable, and some of them are really smart. I have a very optimistic view of individuals. As individuals, people are inherently good. I have a somewhat more pessimistic view of people in groups. And I remain extremely concerned when I see what’s happening in our country, which is in many ways the luckiest place in the world. We don’t seem to be excited about making our country a better place for our kids.” [Wired, February 1996]

“You can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something — your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life.” [Stanford commencement speech, June 2005]

“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.” [Stanford commencement speech, June 2005]

“When I was 17, I read a quote that went something like: “If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you’ll most certainly be right.” It made an impression on me, and since then, for the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: “If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?” And whenever the answer has been “No” for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something.
“Remembering that I’ll be dead soon is the most important tool I’ve ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything — all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure — these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.” [Stanford commencement speech, June 2005]

I have learned thru a local celebrity news show that Claudine Barreto has courageously admitted that she has undergone rehabilitation for her depression. Very seldom that we see celebrities who admits that she seeks help for depression. It is said that the depression which she experience is very common to workaholics. I admire her for letting the public know despite of the fact that I feel that it is no longer her obligation to inform us. But she opted to have us informed, such a brave and daring act. I also admire people who admit to themselves that there is a problem and seek professional help if needed. It is good to know that there are already
