Steve,
You’ve been a crazy one your whole life. You were the quintessential rebellious. You’ve never been fond of rules and did not fit into the circumstances. When everybody said computers were for businesses only – you’d make them artistic; when everybody was satisfied with discs – you’d make a magic deck of cards and put a-thousand-songs-in-my-pocket; when everybody thought about buttons – you’d make the world as natural as the touch of a hand; when everybody would say cartoons were for children only – you’d make us all emotional with glorious animations. You stayed hungry until the end. You stayed foolish until the end. Foolish enough to dare – to be a crazy one, to be a genius. That’s why you had to change the world.
Steve, The Craziest One, you will be forever missed on Earth.
Rest in Peace in the iCloud, innovating from another dimension of space-time.
— Carlos A. B. Góes
That was beautiful , this should be read at his feuneral
Steven Paul Jobs is a man that even if one has never met him, you feel as though he is an old friend. The ideas he had or helped foster with his friends, have been pervasive in our day to day lives. He believed in things that have made our lives simpler, even when no one else did. For that reason, so many of us have believed in him.
His passion was transformative and above all else, has touched our lives in meaningful ways. Steven valued art, elegance, music, passion, knowledge and creativity. Steven believed in giving us the tools to empower our ability to express those same values. Steven gave us “bicycles for our minds,” allowing us to go further than ever imagined. Now Steven has gone further than even his brilliant mind could have ever imagined: he has transcended our material world, forever made immortal in our hearts, minds and way of life.
The void his absence creates, for the millions who are empowered by his living legacy, pales to the unfathomable void that will be felt by his loved ones. My heart and prayers go out to them, as America mourns the loss of a hero, and the world mourns the loss man that represented the power of human potential. God speed, Steven. You held on long enough to make our world a brighter place, though the extinguishing of your bright star, dims our sky.
Incredibly well said. Beautiful tribute Carlos, I agree with another reader who feels your tribute should be read at Steve’s funeral. Such an incredible loss for the entire planet.
iRIP Steve…and thank you.
Steve jobs’ be it anybody’s son
Will ever glow as that shiny Sun’
‘Yes’ that daythe
very first Apple just tasted by that Eve;
Yesterday more attracted for more (New)tons hence hijacked
by Isaac;
Keeping all our seeming shining globe with his innovative
shock,
But left the same apple suddenly this detached spark like Steve,
The innocence of our grand Eve; Oh! one could sense in this JOBS-STEVE.
The truth undefined was there before Christ in that
silent Buddha,
Then After Jesus still with glimpses arranged by invisible
holy Allah ;
All just to solve human crises even by a boy- bomb like Adi
shankara.
At last only money matters for all men;
Why to address ‘you all’ as Ladies and Gentlemen!
Only humans claiming on this spinning sphere their rights
No other beings , trees and their atmosphere allowed -even
their eye-sights!
Oh! When Allah’ with his tender oil
Ignite all human’s so long turmoil?
In which crazy currency will catch fire;
Then ever rolling tears of Jesus will never tire;
No more new Buddhas
or Babas required on our earth;
Just all travel merrily in their train’s allotted berth,
‘Live and leave’ as this detached Great Jobs Steve;
We all only guests achieved nothing from times of Adam
and Eve,
Trying for the same old tastes
But crying at end, rocked in our tombs with centuries old
pastes.
No familiar with his developed i-pods or i-pots?
Most ‘ we’ the poor unaware about his software;
But his thrown away life may burn all our rotten thoughts;
Steve jobs may your spirits ever be there
To let future kids to live their own lives
Untouched by ‘times- screen’- as ever fresh -naives.
With
Love
