On 5 Oct 2011, the world lost a creative genius and visionary – Steve Jobs<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Steve<\/a> was not a spiritual guru or a political leader, but a force to reckon with… someone with both the determination and the\u00a0talent to change the world.\u00a0 And, change the world he did.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Tomes have been written already on the man and his legacy, and\u00a0a lot more will\u00a0be said in the years to come.\u00a0 Sure, he gave the world the iMac, iPod, iPhone and iPad.\u00a0 But he did much more than that.\u00a0 Steve’s work touched millions of lives in more ways that even he <\/em>could have imagined.\u00a0 I just wanted to take this opportunity to pen down what he meant for me, and to thank him for the contribution he made to my <\/em>life…<\/p>\n

Thank you, Steve, for teaching us that “Design is how you Think!”<\/p>\n

Thank you, Steve, for demonstrating that you can follow your dreams and <\/em>change the world, without compromising on one or the other.<\/p>\n

Thank you, Steve, for proving beyond a doubt that Less is More.<\/p>\n

Thank you, Steve, for the learning that we don’t have to choose between Form and Function.<\/p>\n

Thank you, Steve, for showing the world that it’s possible to raise the bar so high that you touch the sky.<\/p>\n

Thank you, Steve,\u00a0for having the courage and the conviction to go with your instincts and not ask us – the consumers – what we really wanted.<\/p>\n

Thank you, Steve, for making a dent in the Universe…<\/em><\/p>\n

You will be missed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
