Ci sono imprenditori che desertificano le nostre vite, rendendoci solo più tristi e più poveri.
Ci sono imprenditori invece - come Steve – che… ma facciamolo dire a Barack Obama:
“…Steve was among the greatest innovators – brave enough to think differently, bold enough to believe he could change the world, and talented enough to do it.
By building one of the planet’s most successful companies from his garage, he exemplified the spirit of American ingenuity. By making computers personal and putting the internet in our pockets, he made the information revolution not only accessible, but intuitive and fun. And by turning his talents to storytelling, he has brought joy to millions of children and grownups alike. Steve was fond of saying that he lived every day like it was his last. Because he did, he transformed our lives, redefined entire industries, and achieved one of the rarest feats in human history: he changed the way each of us sees the world.
The world has lost a visionary. And there may be no greater tribute to Steve’s success than the fact that much of the world learned of his passing on a device he invented…” (dal Blog della Casa Bianca).
Infine, poche righe dal suo discorso agli studenti dell’Università di Stanford (2005):
“Il vostro tempo è limitato. Non fatevi intrappolare dai dogmi – che significano vivere con regole inventate da qualcun altro. Non lasciate che il rumore delle opinioni altrui copra la vostra voce interiore. E più importante di tutto, abbiate il coraggio di seguire il vostro cuore e il vostro intuito. Loro sanno già che cosa volete diventare. Tutto il resto è secondario”.
Grazie Steve.
