Steve Jobs, the founder and former CEO of Apple, died in 2011 at the age of 56. Jobs had been fighting cancer since 2004.

Even as a young man, Jobs was never one who followed the rules. He dropped out of college after only six months. He quit his first job to backpack around India. Jobs says that those early experiences made him creative. They opened up his mind and helped to create Apple’s “think different” spirit.

As a successful businessman, Steve’s passion and energy encouraged the world. He told us to “do what you love”. He believed “ People with passion can change the world for the better.” He made computers fun and interesting. His iPhone, iPad and iTouch are popular around the world. People say Jobs sells dreams, not products.

Jobs taught us how to face failure. He was fired by the successor he himself chose. Despite this, Jobs didn’t hide away. He picked himself up and continued to follow his passion.

Another valuable lesson he taught us was to listen to that voice in the back of your head – the voice that tells you if you’re on the right track or not. Most of us simply decide that we’re going to work in finance or become a doctor because our parents tell us this is what we should do. But Jobs believed and showed that it is wise to listen to that voice in your head, whatever it is telling you to do.

As Barack Obama said, Steve was “brave enough to think differently, brave enough to believe he could change the world, and talented enough to do it.”
