Juanjo Diego: A small tribute to Steve Jobs


I must confess I am a Mac user (or should I say a Mac lover?) I haven't got an Iphone or an Ipad, but all my computers have been made by Apple Co. for ten years (most musicians use them) And I listen to music from my Ipod (it has inside more than 7000 songs and hundreds of podcasts in English!) Yesterday, the Apple co-founder, Steve jobs, died of cancer, and I think his success story could be very interesting to everybody. I'm not a mythomaniac, and I've always preferred the actual works rather than their makers, but I believe Steve was an amazing man and his speech in Standford in 2005 is a valuable sample of capacity and perseverance (and not very difficult to understand).



Thanks a lot Juanjo! May I just say I also love Apple gadgets and gizmos and nowadays I'm a diehard Mac user. I converted to it a couple of years ago after painfully suffering, for way too long, Bill Gates' unreliable OS, the infamous Windows, a necessary evil, I guess.

  1. Steve Jobs was a man who was idolised around the globe and many here say his vision helped connect the world.He was the visionary who had created a truly global brand.

    I'm kind of a diehard fan of Apple. It's really sad to see that Steve Jobs passed away. This man I think really influenced the way we think, we observe the world. I really can't say how grateful I am to him. This is a small tribute for him. R.I.P.

  2. What an awesome speech and amazing life. I dare say I'm not a fan of Apple, but listening to him, it is impossible not to realize that he was an incredible and witty man. In only fifteen minutes, he is able to summarize his productive life and make yo think about yours. It is really valuable the way he say that everything has a positive view and it is our responsabilty to find it.
    Ther is no waste in the speech, i think I'm going to listen to it again.
