Steve Jobs 1955 – 2011

The founder of Apple Steve Jobs once said “We’re here to put a dent in the universe.” He certainly did that by changing the world.

A true innovator, Steve Jobs, revolutionized personal computing for the masses, changing the way we listen to music and brought about the evolution of mobile.

His vision, passion and determination led to countless innovations that have changed our world for the better, changing the way we go about our daily lives. Even if you don’t have an Apple product you most probably have a product that was inspired or created in response to an Apple innovation. Even the layout of the computer today came about thanks to Steve Jobs, the mouse & keyboard came from his mind. Even fonts were an innovation of his.

The billionaire wasn’t obsessed with money, instead he was obsessed with quality and design.

“Being the richest man in the cemetery doesn’t matter to me … Going to bed at night saying we’ve done something wonderful … that’s what matters to me.”

Thanks Steve!

Oprah has over 2.3 million followers on social networking service Twitter. Steve Jobs? Zero. And yet, in a recent poll by youth organization Junior Achievement, the Apple CEO topped the talk show maven by a hefty margin as the entrepreneur that teens most admired.

It makes perfect sense, really. I mean, sure, Oprah once gave her entire studio audience free cars, but Steve Jobs has given the whole world the iPod and iPhone. I mean, granted, they have to pay for them, but come on–that’s what entrepreneurship is really about, right?

The survey, given to U.S. kids from ages 12 through 17, provided a list of entrepreneurs and asked the kids to pick which one they most admired. In addition to out-talking Oprah, Jobs also out-skateboarded Tony Hawk, out-socialized Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, and out, uh, duoed both Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen.

“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 other’s 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.”

-Steve Jobs, co-founder of Apple and Pixar
