here's to the crazy ones The Misfits the rebels the troublemakers the round pegs in the square holes the ones who see things differently they're not fond of rules have no respect for the status quo you can quote them disagree with them glorify or vilify them about the only thing you can't do is ignore them because they change things they event they imagine the heel they explore they create they inspire they push the human race forward maybe they have to be crazy how else can you start an empty canvas and see a work of art or shouldn't silence and hear a song that's never been written or gaze at the red planet and see a laboratory on wheels while some see them as the crazy ones we see genius because the people who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world like Steve Jobs by the ones who do what I admired most about Steve Jobs was this ability to defy tradition you know I still remember the day when I bought my first ever Apple product it was a 13-inch MacBook Pro I bought it a year and a half ago and it just completely changed my perspective on computers my friend Randall back then was just crazy I mean you have to buy a Mac you have to buy a Mac and I was like why am I gonna need a Mac I've been using Windows computers for the past 15 years in the transitions not going to be easy and I just remember that he brought his own 13-inch MacBook Pro back then he set it on the table and he began just gesturing with the trackpad and you know he had me at the gestures people don't remember it but back thirty years ago if he wanted to buy a computer you had to memorize command prompts and commands to be able to handle it it wasn't easy for a typical person to use a computer if you didn't memorize the commands you had to be a programmer or learn the language to understand it and Steve Jobs comes out of the blue with the Macintosh to change the way things wore everything was graphical you didn't have to memorize anything because the computer was actually smart enough to do what it had to do it took computers competitors so much to catch up with that and they still haven't figured it out that was those were the kinds of things that would make me remember Steve Jobs as somebody totally out of the ordinary because you always push the limit for functionality in the benefit of the user in a way Steve Jobs has changed the world I mean in the past we didn't even think about vehicles the way we do after Henry Ford invented them and we didn't think about electricity or even needed it until Thomas Edison came up with something to bring us electricity and it's the same way I mean the computer the Information Age the internet everything is just totally different after Steve he wanted more he definitely thought different and that's why we admire him the way we do my favorite part of any type of product launch was going back to watch Steve Jobs delivers keynote on stage it was magical in and of itself the way he talked about how competitors were doing it differently and how Apple had an elegant simple amazing solution that always seemed to be above and beyond what we thought was possible with today's technology it was truly amazing and magical to watch him on stage and I will truly miss the way that he presented himself and the products that he loves so much he not only was a strong leader and visionary he was an iconic figure of our times who made sure he didn't only change the present in which we live in but he also changed the future he changed the way we perceived technology and life in our everyday day-to-day life and we not only have to thank him for exceptional products like the iPod the iPhone the iPad the Mac's or services like iTunes or everything which is a belated we have to thank him for leaving a strong legacy believing in your dreams and making sure they become reality in order to make people's life easier today to offer for this he will always be remembered in our hearts in our minds and the even beneath our fingertips because we all love that of products as they set out a new standard in technology you will be very much missed Steve Jobs thank you for giving us everything thank you for being here for me personally it was an honor living in times together with Steve Jobs may you rest in peace it's hard for me to imagine growing up in a world without Steve Jobs as influenced my first computer I ever had growing up was an apple 2gs family God and Christmas of 1986 or 1987 and for my little five-year-old mind seeing these relatively high resolution graphics the colors being able to interact with the mouse just blew me away in later years and I took up Apple soft basic and I really thought I was going to be a computer programmer largely from the influence that this 2gs had on me and Steve Jobs is influence over shaping his vision of that product is a large part of how I ended up looking at computers and other technology as I grew and in later years I ended up getting a PC and I drifted away from the Apple world but I've never been anything short that was astounded by the way Jobs has been able to shape this entire ecosystem around the Apple this idea of having one easy-to-use system that lets you communicate with people that lets you create lets you share and working everything from iTunes and GarageBand into now the iPhone and it's just you don't see in this day and age that's sort of singular vision driving a whole family of products you can get you know an Xbox from Microsoft that maybe you have a zoom but you don't shape your entire collection of electronics around them as Apple fans do and as right they should Jobs saw that it's about the user experience and connecting people with their devices and I don't know if anyone's ever been able to do it like he did again for that I'm really gonna miss him here's to the crazy one the misfit the rebel the troublemaker because the people who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world like Steve Jobs are the ones who do
