Because of the nature of my work - tech journalist - I ended up writing about it, and I was interviewed by other journalists to explain what it meant to the company, the industry, and the rest of us.<br /><br />I pray he gets better. Visionaries like him come along once in a generation, and I don't know who's waiting in the wings. The world needs more like him.carmilevyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00360045114379957605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-598921649498584368.post-32853265252878778642011-09-08T20:37:19.014-04:002011-09-08T20:37:19.014-04:00Thank you for such a thought provoking post.

I agree with Rose--I want to be remembered for the kind things I have said and done, and sometimes I need a reminder that life is about more than laundry and grocery lists.

I think the most important thing to remember is not so much what we are doing, but how we do it or how we act. I hope that when my time comes that the last thing people remember about me is a kind word I said or that I had a smile on my face, not that I was unkind or ignored them. The theme reminds me of an Alan Jackson song, "Live Like You Were Dying."Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01384059342847120951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-598921649498584368.post-70742535209088858272011-08-26T21:01:23.645-04:002011-08-26T21:01:23.645-04:00Food for thought indeed.

He built Apple (without government help or involvement) into the richest company in America. He's amazing. There's just nobody better. <br /><br />I was sick to hear when he got cancer. Since he resigned recently, the cancer must be winning.. That is so sad... <br /><br />Such a great example of how wonderful capitalism can be in our country --when a company grows and does well without lobbyists, politician-help, political money, etc. <br /><br />This guy is truly a hero.<br />Hugs,<br />BetsyBetsy Banks Adamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16223591156634767330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-598921649498584368.post-34730197169517616122011-08-26T12:56:59.558-04:002011-08-26T12:56:59.558-04:00I'd forgotten the Whole Earth Catalog, I loved...I'd forgotten the Whole Earth Catalog, I loved it.
