A World without Steve!


The last 25 years from 1984 to 2011 have seen fundamental changes in the way the world operates. Steve made a dent in the universe and left. A boy of a single mother, a lad who left university education because it was a drain on his foster parents resources and a dreamer left this world. He showed us many traits of a human being who truly wants to make a difference. He left a legacy which will be remembered for a long time to come.

I have never seen/met him, I only heard him and was fortunate to see him live on internet while he unveiled iphone4. No other death, including the ones of near and dear ones has left a hole in the way his has. He truly showed that it is the mad ones who lead the sane ones and always will. I have seen many comparisons of his leadership style to others, to me he is more than a leader he was an inspirer. He was a poet and a plumber rolled into one.

In his brief journey on this earth he played his part well and with integrity. He will continue to inspire me and egg me on to do my bit in building a better world. I will try to make a nick in the universe, Steve!
