Life After Steve Jobs

(February 24, 1955 à Oct. 5, 2011)
By Christie Ewen

"No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don't want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because death is very likely the single best invention of life. It is life's change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new." -Steve Jobs, Stanford University commencement speech, 2005

Just believing is where I find religion to play a significant role in what is possible.  Unfortunately, Steve Jobs accepted that mortality is a necessary part of life: in his own words, “And that is as it should be”.  How could a man worth over 8 billion dollars who lived every day of his life as if it was his last not live forever?  I believe the cure is in reprogramming the genes.  If only he had contacted me ...

Steve Jobs has done so much for humanity in liberating knowledge and I’m ever so grateful.  I wish he could have stayed true to himself to the very end – “stay foolish” and ultimately defied death.
