<\/div>\n
Steve Jobs was an iconic visionary who transcended technology. He was both an out-of-box thinker and a creative genius. \u00a0Because of him, we are more connected than ever before with devices that feel like an extension of who we are. \u00a0Much of the revolution in entertainment and mobile communications was sparked by this California son, who was born the same year the first radio transistor radios came on the scene and the world first heard of Velcro and Lego.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
In his all-too-short 56 years, Jobs envisioned and marketed the first personal computer, the iPad, iPhone and other innovations. His goal? To\u00a0make products that were at “the intersection of art and technology.” He succeeded and along the way, helped transform Apple into the world’s most valuable company.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Jobs also bought a Lucasfilm animation property, and renamed the company,\u00a0Pixar. In 1995, Pixar’s\u00a0Toy\u00a0Story became the world’s first completely computer-animated film, and\u00a0sparked\u00a0a new standard and market for CGI animation in films.<\/i><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
“Steve Jobs was an extraordinary visionary, our very dear friend and the guiding light of the Pixar family,” stated John Lasseter, Pixar co-founder and now chief creative officer at Pixar and Disney Animated Studios. “He saw the potential of what Pixar could be before the rest of us, and beyond what anyone ever imagined. Steve took a chance on us and believed in our crazy dream of making computer animated films; the one thing he always said was to simply ‘make it great.’ He is why Pixar turned out the way we did and his strength, integrity and love of life has made us all better people.”<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
“The world rarely sees someone who has had the profound impact Steve has had, the effects of which will be felt for many generations to come,\u201d Bill Gates said in a statement today.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
What can be said that hasn’t already been articulated about Jobs? An appropriate farewell is to listen to what the man himself wanted us to know, in his own words\u2026<\/div>\n

\u201cNo one wants to die,\u201d Jobs told graduates at Stanford during his famous 2005 Commencement address<\/a> in what has become the most watched Commencement speech<\/a> in history. \u201cEven people who want to go to heaven don\u2019t want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life\u2019s change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new. Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic, but it is quite true.<\/p>\n

\u201cYour time is limited, so don\u2019t waste it living someone else\u2019s life. Don\u2019t be trapped by dogma \u2014 which is living with the results of other people\u2019s thinking. Don\u2019t let the noise of others\u2019 opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition.\u201d<\/div>\n

Find what you love and pursue it\u2026that is his legacy to all of us.<\/div>\n ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
