Awesome Visionary: Steve Jobs

While many of us never had the opportunity to meet or work for Steve Jobs, we've all been touched by him. Not because we have a Mac, iPod, iPhone or iPad. And not because we've enjoyed every single Pixar movie and short ever made. But because we all witnessed him challenge the status quo. No one thought a movie studio could produce nothing but hits. No one thought to change user experiences from entering words to clicking on images. No one thought we'd be tied to our mobile devices. No one thought the biggest music store would exist online. No one thought design mattered so much. No one but Steve. He's made us all better at what we do. He presented the world with a level of excellence we can only hope to live up to. And if he could bring an attitude of perfection to everything he touched, why can't we do the same? Why can't we challenge what's expected of us. Why can't we question the way things are done? Why can't we strive to make everything better? If we are to truly remember Steve, we need to take a look at ourselves and everything we do, and strive for perfection.

 "Stay hungry. Stay foolish."


"Think Different"


By no means is this post, or this blog perfect. But, we're gonna try to make it perfect. RIP Steve.
