Think Different

He was born on February 24th, 1955 to a Syrian immigrant "Abdulfattah Jandali" from the Homs area who later became a political science professor, and a German American "Joanne Schieble" who, according to his father, gave him up for adoption because her parents didn't accept the idea that their daughter had a child with a Syrian. I will spare you the details about Steve Job's life as you can hear it from him in the video below of his 2005 Stanford University commencement address.


If you're reading this post, you have certainly used some of his many visions to do so. Among his many life-changing visions were the personal computer, the mouse, computer fonts, the iphone, ipod, and ipad.
I don't think I've been more excited about any purchase as I was when I bought these products. Except for the ipad, I have them all. As in his early Apple commercial in the video below, he thought different, changed things, and pushed the human race forward.


Steve Jobs died yesterday of complications of cancer. Thank you, and Rest in Peace.

Blowing in the Wind


How many roads must a man walk down,

before you call him a man?

How many seas must a white dove fly,

before she sleeps in the sand?

And how many times must a cannon ball fly,

before they're forever banned?

The answer my friend is blowing in the wind,

the answer is blowing in the wind.

How many years can a mountain exist,

before it is washed to the sea?

How many years can some people exist,

before they're allowed to be free?

And how many times can a man turn his head,

and pretend that he just doesn't see?


The answer my friend is blowing in the wind,

the answer is blowing in the wind.


How many times must a man look up,

before he sees the sky?

And how many ears must one man have,

before he can hear people cry ?

And how many deaths will it take till we know,

that too many people have died?


The answer my friend is blowing in the wind,

the answer is blowing in the wind.





Bob Dylan said in an interview that his songs will mean even more as time goes by. How true!!
