The world has lost a great genius. Steven P. Jobs died on 5th October, 2011 at the age of fifty-six. It was too soon for him to pass away. He incorporated Apple in 1976 and broke existing common knowledge to create revolutionary Macintosh and various items starting with the keyword “i.” He turned Apple into the world’s most valuable company. Steve Jobs was regarded as a top entrepreneur in the 21st century because of his extraordinary talent. Full of ups and downs, background and impressive remarks, and also the outstanding charisma that made people sometimes feel even dreadful of his, captured a lot of fans around the world.
Behind the glory, however, he was worried about his health problem. Although he once came back as Apple’s CEO after operation for pancreatic cancer in 2004, he stepped down as CEO on 24th August, 2011 and he passed away a day after Apple unveiled its newest device, iPhone 4S led by a new CEO as if to have ascertained it.
The sudden sad news shook the world. Words of mourning and gratitude were filled on the Internet and a great number of fans visited Apple Head Office and its operations for floral tributes and memorial gatherings have been conducted at every part of the globe. Celebrities, including U.S. President Barak Obama, praised his achievements and gave memorial addresses.
According to the Wall Street Journal, Mr. Jobs knew his own final hour a few weeks before the happening. About what did the great hero think at the final moment when he died with his family and close relatives at his side?
Apple in its homepage mourned his death with the words, “Steve’s spirit will forever be the foundation of Apple.” Steve’s spirit is without doubt alive inside the people around the world who mourn his death. His appearance in a black (mock) turtleneck and Levi’s blue jeans won’t disappear forever from our mind as well as his speech at Harvard.
