悼念Steve Jobs

虽然悼念Steve Jobs渐行渐远的生命还早了点,但他的商业生命或者说是创造生命已经正式终止了。

作为一个从来不知道谁是生父私生子,Steve在出生不久就被生母送养在别人家里。Teenager时代,连顿好饭都难吃到。Steve本人缺点一大堆,比如,他多次否认早期不谙事年代有的一个私生女,甚至成名之后钱已不是问题时依然如此。他也反对慈善事业(这一点本人个人完全理解)。但Steve是被宣扬的美国梦的真正实现者(研究估算表明,在美国白手起家的成功率是That of in Europe的10%)。在实业界,Steve是唯一的一个白手起家的成功者,Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos等等都不是。在金融界,白手起家的最接近如此的成功者是Jim Rogers,但份量太小,而George Soros和Warren Buffet都不是白手起家。

他的离去结束了一段现代科技创新和科技商业的传奇。

Appendix:
Steve's resignation letter

To the Apple Board of Directors and the Apple Community:

I have always said if there ever came a day when I could no longer meet my duties and expectations as Apple's CEO, I would be the first to let you know. Unfortunately, that day has come.

I hereby resign as CEO of Apple. I would like to serve, if the Board sees fit, as Chairman of the Board, director and Apple employee.

As far as my successor goes, I strongly recommend that we execute our succession plan and name Tim Cook as CEO of Apple.

I believe Apple's brightest and most innovative days are ahead of it. And I look forward to watching and contributing to its success in a new role.

I have made some of the best friends of my life at Apple, and I thank you all for the many years of being able to work alongside you.
