Steve Jobs, co-founder of Apple, Inc. , died yesterday of pancreatic cancer. He was an innovator way ahead of his time. What I appreciate most about Steve, though, was the fact that he used his position as chairman and CEO of Apple to inspire others to greatness. For that I am appreciative and, in tribute, I've posted the commercial that caught my attention just a few years ago and confirmed that being crazy, thinking different and walking to the beat of your own drum is not just okay -- it's genius.
Farewell, Mr. Jobs.
“Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The trouble-makers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules, and they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify, or vilify them. But the only thing you can’t do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do. “
-Jack Kerouac
