Steve Jobs
Steve Jobs was certainly a genius. Like Einstein, Newton and Galileo before him, Jobs challenged assumptions and shattered the status quo by leading us to a better way of being, thinking and living. However, I would say that his most lasting legacy is not Apple. It is the culture of innovation that he has infused, marinated and stewed into our society. And it is the future innovators that he has enabled, empowered and emboldened. Not only the crazy ones, the misfits and the rebels. But also the honors students, the future scientists and the children selling lemonade at the street corner. I relish the opportunity to show my son videos of Steve Jobs's amazing product demonstrations and to tell him: Stay hungry and stay foolish. Never settle. Love what you do and rock the world.
