R.I.P: Steve Jobs (1955-2011)

Không biết nói gì hơn, thoáng im lặng khi biết tin SJ đã ra đi.

Thông điệp từ Apple:

“Apple has lost a visionary and creative genius, and the world has lost an amazing human being. Those of us who have been fortunate enough to know and work with Steve have lost a dear friend and an inspiring mentor. Steve leaves behind a company that only he could have built, and his spirit will forever be the foundation of Apple.

Còn nhớ  trong bài phát biểu tại lễ tốt nghiệp của Đại học Stanford (Mỹ) năm 2005, Steve đã tiếp thêm sức mạnh cho niềm tin vào tương lai của các tân cử nhân.
Kết thúc bài phát biểu của mình, ông nói: "Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish" (Hãy cứ đói khát và dại dột). Bởi vì chỉ có mạo hiểm, mơ ước, và sống đúng với đam mê của mình, mới có thể thật sự thành công và mãn nguyện. :)

No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don’t want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because 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. Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic, but it is quite true.
Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.
