FATHER OF IPODS!...HE IS NOT DONE YET!

“Design is not just what it looks like and feels like. Design is how it works”.

The words of a visionary who is not among us right now- the cofounder, chairman, and chief executive officer of Apple Inc. “Steve paul jobs” who also was an inventor and moreover called the “father of ipods”. The middle-class hippie kid with no college education, went on to built a computer empire and became a multi-millionaire in a few years. He was responsible for creating “the third apple” that changed people’s lives. Though he was fired from his own company he came back to save it and turn it into one of the world’s most successful firms.

On this he said once:

 “I didn’t see it then, but it turned out that getting fired from Apple was the best thing that could have ever happened to me. The heaviness of being successful was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner again, less sure about everything. It freed me to enter one of the most creative periods of my life.”

Meanwhile then, he had also contributed to the creation of the new leader in animated movies for decades to come through Pixar.  He was essentially a great businessman but more than that he was an inspiration to young people, entrepreneurs, inventors, designers, early adopters, budding musicians, and people with disabilities who discovered with Apple's devices a way to engage with the world. So many people drew courage from Steve and related to his life story: adoptees, college drop-outs, struggling entrepreneurs, ousted business leaders figuring out how to make a difference in the world, and people fighting debilitating illness. We have all been there in some way and can see a bit of ourselves in his personal and professional successes and struggles. The lesson that we ought to learn from his life is the effort and hard work and his impeccable dedication towards designing computers. The world will never forget such an amazing human being, an extraordinary man proving his talent in five industries who changed people's life in more ways than we will ever imagine.
