A pity that Steve Jobs die so early?

Many of us have problem describing what we have done in our monthly progress reports to management. Some of us can't even remember what we had for lunch at dinner time! Simplicity in life? No extraordinary or phenomenal events? Nothing exciting? Well, I think Steve Jobs had a fulfilling life which is why (I believe) he parted with 3 words: "Oh wow. Oh wow. Oh wow".

If I recall correctly, Steve Jobs ...

took drugs.

dropped out of school.

had a singer that he unwaivering adored - Bob Dylan.

travelled to India to learn more about Zen Buddhism.

chose to eat fruits and vegetables for his meals and didn't bath.

had some illustrious romances - got a child from the first one, had a short one with one that was very much older than he was and finally found the one that could complement him in many ways.

peddled Blue Box with Wozniak and almost got caught by the police.

played silly tricks on friends with electronics.

started Apple, NeXt and Pixar!

created Apple II that over 2 million loved.

created the Macintosh that many love.

created iPhone that over 100 million (and counting) love.

created iPad that over 15 million (and counting) love.

revolutionalised the music industry with iTunes.

revolutionalised computer-animated film industry with Pixar.

became a millionaire at 24.

became a billionaire at 40.

had 4 children.

had cancer. Got well and got it again.

Well, I think that's a lot of things that he had accomplished in 56 years. How much can we achieve?
