Steve Jobs-- icon of the age.

I have been thinking of putting up a post for Jobs for long. I am fascinated by his speech at Prinston first, and then gradually found out he is exactly the kind of man l admire. Smart, bold, a little bit arrogant maybe, and definitely having fun in life in his own way.
Despite his empire Apple, and his wealth, Jobs has few things that are not controversial. Drags, Lisa, India, Buddhism, necked while interviewing people, mysteries and scandals seem only add on the sense of legendary of his experience.
You have lived once, and you will be forever living. Sadness filled my heart when I saw his health is destroyed by cancer. Nothing can conceal the harsh truth about life-- even a guy as smart and powerful as Jobs, could not fight against the rule of nature.
How I wish you will be with us for long, and how I wish to live a life like you.
