Since A is a graphic designer, we've been a Macintosh house for.....ever. Even though I'm a Blackberry girl at heart - I curse my iPhone regularly and smile when N tells me that soon, soon Apple will come out with improvements that will make me love the iPhone. I want buttons, but I also don't want to be the odd-man-out when something goes wrong and my whole family shakes their collective heads and say "you would be fine if you had an iPhone."
We are learning and relearning much about Steve Jobs. He is one of those CEO's that I would both love and loath to work for. Brilliant and mercurial.
In 2005 he gave the following advice to the Stanford graduates:
"Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma, which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary."
Amen.
