“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 other’s 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.” That is one of my favourite quotes by Steve Jobs who just stepped down as the Chief Executive at Apple.

He has been a huge leader in the technology industry and as Jim Cramer of CNBC wrote, “He is America’s greatest industrialist. Perhaps the greatest ever.” He took Apple high, he left and went to Pixar and sold that off for a fortune and he returned to Apple when the company was basically down and out and in the last 10 years it has released so many successful products that I don’t think many people in their early 20’s would realise how far down, and how close to collapse Apple was only about 10 years ago. It is the end of an era, and Apple will struggle without him, although they have amazing products that will keep their profits high for at least the next 2 or 3 years, and one can only hope that he continues to fight cancer successfully.
