Goodbye Steve Jobs

Yesterday morning I got a text message saying that the founder of Apple, Steve Jobs, just died because of pancreas cancer. My first reaction was that as if a close family relative just died and hoped that it wasn’t true. But in the afternoon, just when I had the chance to open the web, Mr. Jobs was all about the news. And so, it was true then and I felt so sad. I do not know why I had to feel very sad about his death. And this writing is an attempt to write down and explain to myself why I had felt that feeling.

First of all Mr. Jobs and I are not related. I don’t work for him either and he doesn’t know me at all. I never had an Apple computer, an Iphone, and any products Apple produced except for the small Ipod my friend gave to me. So why is it that his death is a big deal for me? Maybe because his one of the many reasons why I am working in the IT field. That maybe, someday, we’ll meet and talk. That maybe, someday, he’ll hire me. That maybe, someday, I’ll work for him. That maybe, someday, I’ll get the best job ever!

Now that makes it sad, that ‘someday’ has just gone.
