Steve Jobs: A Modern Day Leonardo Da Vinci
Oct 5th, 2011 by Cathy Jo Nelson
Steve jobs was the closest we came to experiencing a person like Leonardo Da Vinci. We’ve lost our time’s Leo.
Favorite quote from the video:
“Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life,” Jobs said. “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.” — Steve Jobs, 2005 commencement address at Stanford University
Favorite quotes shared this evening:
Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. -Steve Jobs (2005)
The world is immeasurably better because of Steve. CNN tonight
Another Jobs lesson: education, pedigree and market dominance are ultimately no match for imagination. – Josh Greenman
in 1999 you changed my life by believing in me. You called me at home asking me if I want to help you help education. I remember that morning like yesterday. I remember your words, “Elizabeth (your daughter) thinks you’re really cool.” You introduced me to people (like JC) who then since has changed my life. You trust me… Now, I shall continue the pirate fight, my brother. Thanks for your trust and belief. I WILL MISS YOU, S. – Marco Torres via Facebook
Wow … when teenagers know who this guys is, you know he’s big. A sad loss. – Jen Mechling via Facebook

Have you ever heard of Dennis Ritchie? He died about a week after Steve Jobs. Now the quirk here, is that Jobs was praised by millions, maybe billions, but Ritchie on the other hand got zilch. When you compare them, you get something like this:
RITCHIE –> innovator and pioneer
JOBS –> used car salesman doing consumer electronics
That is how badly Ritchie outclasses Jobs… The reason for this, is that Jobs never actually invented anything (he did help build the imac, but thats about it)… Ritchie on the other hand CREATED C LANGUAGE, AS WELL AS UNIX… Both of those things now are used in the world to run the web. The entire internet runs on Unix. Unix runs on C. iOS, and all the Mac OS’s run on Unix AND C. Jobs was merely a good salesman.
