"Stay hungry, stay foolish" - Steve Jobs (1955-2011)
Watching the last Apple Special Event was awkward without Steve on stage. Tim Cook is good, but he is not Steve Jobs. The whole atmosphere for the audience who attended the event was weird. Applauses were not as vigorous as before, even at the moment of the new iPhone revelation. It was not the same.
I was hoping – and I'm sure everyone was – to see him appear on stage just to greet people, with his typical blue jeans,
black top and rounded glasses. But he didn't.
A day later I read this tweet, along with a creepy shiver through my body. I realized we will
never see him again.
Steve Jobs, for sure changed our lives. He made perfection possible through his inventions. Inventions that could never exist
without the passion and love for what he did. He was a visionary, a dreamer, a perfectionist and strong enough to witness his
own dreams coming true.
I was one of the people who called him a software dictator time ago for many reasons which I will not mention now. But with
time, I realized that all he did was on purpose. He was right and smart.
I re-watched nearly all of his presentations and interviews yesterday. I've never seen someone so sure of his thoughts in my
entire life. I remember when he first announced the original iPhone, he held it in his hand while standing on that stage, firm,
proud and doubtless. I will never forget the passion and ecstasy he poured out his eyes every time he announced a new
revolutionary product.
I wish he could live longer to see a better world, the world the way we all want it to become.
Thank you Steve.
