Why 1984 was not 1984...A tribute to Steve Jobs...


People spend fortunes on expensive watches, but time is the ultimate luxury. Time is what demarcates the most conclusive limit for man. Time is so imperceptible yet so indefatigably precious. Time unwinds so gracefully like a gentle stream down a timeless vent on the surface of the earth, but unlike a stream, time is never replenished. Time is God’s calibration of life, it’s the ultimate measurement. Time is the boundary between Man and infinity, the boundary between life and eternity. Time has no friends and it has no foes, Time is a silent master who never does his own bidding, Time assigns agents for its own purposes, birth is an agent of Time’s generosity and Death is the debt collector…

He bit an apple and he gave it to the world, the world loved him. He was Steve Jobs...Because of Steve, 1984, was Not 1984...

He bit an apple and he gave it to the world, the world loved him. He was Steve Jobs. He was as abrasive as he was charming. He was relentless in his ambition and uncompromising in his vision. He was innovative without restraint and he was a fighter with no apologies. For a long time he was the man who banged on doors, eventually many spent nights out in the cold waiting to hear him speak. They threw him out of Apple but eventually they brought him back and it was a glorious home run. Steve is the man who pioneered and conquered. His PC changed the world and it will never be the same again. He bit an apple and he gave it to the world, the world loved him. He was Steve Jobs.Because of Steve 1984 was not 1984 and it will always be remembered.

I am not the most competent Person to write a tribute to Steve Jobs, He was much greater than I am qualified to write about. He was much more than I could know. I want to say what endeared him to me so much. Apple is possibly iconic name in the IT industry. Apple is possibly the biggest comeback in corporate history, but Steve was much greater than Apple. Steve was great because he was resilient. Steve scaled other heights after being thrown out of Apple, He gave us Pixar and that was special. Pixar gave us Finding Nemo and Toy stories, stories that added beauty to our imaginations. That is what made Steve dear to me, he did everything with ornate beauty and that was his mark.

Now Steve has gone, time has claimed its debt but he has left a timeless mark. I am glad that Steve Jobs was in our lifetimes; at least we were alive at the same time with an icon of History. History is what time gives us. History is the gratitude of time to men who aspired and won. History is the bright constellation left by time for us to emulate. This is for Steve..This for Jobs.
