Steve Jobs

Is there one person in this world that I regret not meeting? Yes. It's Steve Jobs.

I have been asked the question "Who is your role model" several times. Yeah I love my parents and Princess Diana and my old boss and my favourite school teacher, but I never really had a role model. For a while after reading Atlas Shrugged, I liked believing Dagny Taggart was my role model. But at the bottom of my heart I always wanted to look up to someone real. Now I have a role model. He is Steve Jobs.

I turned 30 yesterday. Steve was thirty when he was fired from Apple. To think that he had already accomplished so much when I feel like I am just starting my career!

But that is not the reason why he is my role model. Steve is my role model because:

• He could make people do things they thought were impossible
• He surrounded himself by people who would challenge him and each other
• He stood up for his beliefs and passions even if that meant he would be unpopular
• He used his emotions and instincts to guide him, not just his knowledge
• He aimed for perfection and then tried to make things better

Thank you Steve.

Love
